Does blockchain technology protect copyright reliably? Is cryptocurrency still a smart investment?

This question reminds me to the the first lines of Haber and Stornetta paper, the two phisycian who worked for the first time at Blockchain. “In many situations there is a need to certify the date a document was created or last modified. For example, in intellectual property matters, it is sometimes crucial to verify the date an inventor first put in writing a patentable idea, in order to establish its precedence over competing claims.”
What I think is that one of the inevitable uses of Blockchain is proper the copyright protection.

We need to return to the original idea for which the blockchain was conceived and create platforms aimed at offering authors and publishers services with added value for the attribution, protection and monetization of original content. A Blockchain system based on the following three pillars: a proof of authorship, a proof of license and a proof of revenue.

Which cryptocurrency is a must-have in the investment portfolio?

Before thinking of investing, it’s very crucial to understand crypto features and potential in the long turn. Just like real estate investment and significant investments, you can’t just rush into any decision. Before making any investment decisions, we should ask to ourselves what is the maximum amount of loss which I can bear? At the moment we have a group of very interesting crypto like Cardano, Binancecoin, Tron, but the real crypto that we must have will arrive in 2019.

Which are your favourite cryptocurrency exchanges?

Decentralized exchanges like Waves or BarterDex. Unfortunately, we don’t have so many examples of this kind of exchanges, because more are work in progress or have very low liquidity or are facing security difficulties.

Is cryptocurrency still a smart investment?

Yes. I can see the market quadrupling in value to $450 billion market cap by the end of April. Additionally, more real estate will dive into the crypto space and use it as a solution in liquifying fractional ownership and tokenization. There might also be great deals in the real estate space in the middle of the year, with the potential of reaching up to a billion dollar range.

Does blockchain technology protect copyright reliably?

Well, obviously yes, but at the moment we can rather talk about some principles of blockchain which can be useful in copyright protection than about “technology”. I mean there are no any tested and working projects in this field, only ideas, MVPs and other beginners’staff. Looks to me that all projects needs serious UI/UX improving before we can use it as a “technology”.

Is cryptocurrency still a smart investment?

Well, depends. As a small portion of alternative investments – probably yes. Not a digital gold, but still promising. Personally, I would prefer to use it for a long term investment strategy rather then as a speculative tool.

Which cryptocurrency is a must-have in the investment portfolio?

I would take top-10 from Coinmarketcap, average for last 6 month, and balance currency weigh periodically. I think bitcoin should be as minimum 30% of portfolio, but it’s optional of course.

Coinbase, Kraken, Bitfinex, Binance… Can’t say I’m happy with any.

Is there a cryptocurrency that has more promising positions than Bitcoin and Ethereum?

For what? I like Stellar, for example, but don’t think it’s good for investment. Or Civic, which is a great project, but not so good for speculations. If you’re talking about real potential for use in “real life” – well, Ripple or Stellar could be. But for community Bitcoin and Ethereum, I think, will remain most usable for couple of years as minimum.
