Over the weekend, I started a Whatsapp group on bitcoin and cryptocurrency. It’s going to be non-technical – in fact, I began it specifically to cut through the hype and focus on the genuine excitement around cryptocurrency as a world-wide financial asset.
Here’s the chat URL: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BnoKrjH8hrHAtCQbE0F5f1
The idea is to share a link or two around a particular development and write a ~100 word commentary around it.
So far we’ve discussed Bitcoin as insurance, the controversy around Tether or USDT, digital collectibles or non-fungible tokens, Bitcoin ETFs that have just been launched in Canada, the fate of Bitcoin in growing economies with young populations, like Nigeria and India, China’s plans for its digital currency the e-yuan, and a few other topics.
Since Saturday, it’s grown to over 120 subscribers from many countries. Here’s part a recent message I sent out:
I plan to cross-post from the group here often, so I can expand on the topic a little more than what’s appropriate for a message group.
