disclaimer: I am not invested in Kodak and until I am satisfied with their financials I don't plan on investing

Kodak is using blockchain as a form of copyright protection for photographs online to ensure content creators are rewarded for their content. Now, I don't know the specifics and am curious to learn more, but that sounds like an actual, ready-to-market, mass appeal that could gain widespread traction if adopted by big content names.

Might even work as well as DRM has for the movie and music industry....

Of course it is.

This dude made $700K recently just by adding "blockchain" to the name of his company

Blockchain it! Companies rename themselves to bump up share price.

I've never felt more comfortable about traditional methods of preserving value.

A Random Walk Down Wall Street, Burton G. Malkiel, Chapter 4 "The Explosive Bubbles of The Early 2000s" has an interesting story similar to this regarding "internet" related companies.

"Dozens of companies, even those that had little or nothing to do with the Net, changed their names to include web-oriented designations such as dot.com, dotnet, or Internet. ........Companies that changed their names enjoyed an increase in price during that ten-day period [five days prior to five days after the change was announced] that was 125 percent greater than that of their peers. This price increase occurred even when the comapny's core business had nothing whatsoever to do with the Net."

Ah, bubbles.....:rolleyes
 
Malkiel then goes on to recount the rapid demise of the vast majority of them. This book really is an interesting read.
 
Everything is taking a shit and this thread gets a little quiet. All my alts are down. Only + on my initial coinbase purchases.
 
My money finally transferred into GDAX. I am guessing it’s a bad time to buy BTC? Was planning to transfer the BtC to bitnance

Yup. Investor forums stated they were dumping after the new of the Chinese mining regulations in the first week of January.
 
What are yalls thoughts on Particl? The subreddit seems kinda dead which is really weird for an altcoin and it appears that the value is inflated because the creators control the flow...

At least that's what I'm reading. The value has definitely shot up though it was $17 last week and its about $40 last I checked

Don't buy btc to transfer. Buy Eth or LTC to transfer. It will be a lot cheaper and faster.
