Cryptocurrency has not only tipped the scales of financial opportunity and revealed another powerful advantage of blockchain technology, it has also allowed for personal growth (well in my life I can say). I spoke to my wife and many of our peers in 2017 about their thoughts on cryptocurrency and blockchain initiatives. If I got a fraction of bitcoin for every time I heard "its a scam" or "its gambling" I would surely be doing well. Never the less I did my research and decided WHY NOT. We are witnessing the infancy of a new era in finance. Cryptocurrencies will be widely adopted and used in daily life allowing us to reclaim a bit of our autonomy. (So WHY NOT?) I do not try to introduce this opportunity to negative individuals anymore, but for those who show interest I share my experience and pose the same question I asked myself.. WHY NOT? Turn NO into WHY NOT in 2018. Beyond investing, look at every positive opportunity for its possibilities opposed to its restrictions.
