The price seems basically inexplicable to me atm. Even the price manipulation thesis is hard to believe -- with other cryptos sure but bitcoin seems to big and widespread for the price to be propped up in this kind of sustained way. Has to just be hype and true believers I guess.

there goes my pension
Three blockchain experts linked to a bizarre cryptocurrency startup that sought to raise $6.5 million before vanishing have told Business Insider that they are victims of identity theft and have nothing to do with the company.The startup, called Prodeum, had billed itself as developing a system to use blockchain technology for agricultural commodities, like fruits and vegetables. But Prodeum caused waves online Sunday evening after trying to sell tokens to investors through a risky fundraising technique and subsequently disappearing from the web, leaving only the word "penis" on its homepage.

SBI Ripple Asia has signed a partnership agreement with some of the largest credit card companies in Japan in a bid to bring Ripple’s enterprise blockchain solutions to the Japanese market of payment cards....The consortium will initially be composed of three major credit card providers including JCB, Sumitomo Mitsui Card and Credit Saison. This significant industry milestone will materially improve the user experience and make it easier than ever for mainstream consumers and businesses to tap into the Ripple ecosystem.

it has only been one month and a bit
thing is, there is absolutely no doubt that cryptocurrency is here to say, people just don't know if any current ones will be used, but the model will be used for future transactions, so saying "bitcoins lol" is missing the point
the biggest risk for ripple is xrp being tied to btc right now

blockchain having its use does not mean you can't lose money betting on the wrong implementation. I am one of the least lol bitcoin people round here.
