This is probably a hostile forum to ask such a question to be honest. The HN crowd is pretty negative on the whole concept from past experience. Which is fine, everyone has a right to a view.<p>I do have some resources you can dive into where there are people talking about this very topic:<p>Market at glance:<p><a href="https://blockmodo.com/" rel="nofollow">https://blockmodo.com/</a><p>News from the entire space:<p><a href="https://blockmodo.com/markets/latest_news" rel="nofollow">https://blockmodo.com/markets/latest_news</a><p>Community posts from over 2,500 sub-reddits that deal with bitcoin and alt-coins:<p><a href="https://blockmodo.com/markets/latest_community" rel="nofollow">https://blockmodo.com/markets/latest_community</a><p>You can also get this all segmented by coin as well. For example, if you just want Bitcoin you can go:<p><a href="https://blockmodo.com/quotes/BTC" rel="nofollow">https://blockmodo.com/quotes/BTC</a><p>Some other blogs that I like are:<p>1. <a href="https://coindesk.com" rel="nofollow">https://coindesk.com</a><p>2. <a href="https://cointelegraph.com" rel="nofollow">https://cointelegraph.com</a><p>Hope this helps.
The answer is the same as the one 3-5 years ago. The only main difference today is that almost everybody knows about cryptocurrencies now. More adoption, more regulations, more projects, etc.<p>Really, nothing as changed in terms of the future and potential of crypto, just a lot of positive things happened inbetween.<p>Oh, prices haves gone up and down too, but who cares.
I own some crypto but not sure I want them to succeed given global warming. Maybe something like IOTA can be energy efficient as it claims no mining is required.
