This whole crypto-currency craze is remarkable. I am seeing articles on how to develop your own currency.

I just checked out Ripple. They decided that they would start with 100 billion coins and kept 20 billions coins for themselves "as a fee".

At the beginning of 2017 the value price was about USD 0.006. On 4 Dec 2017 it took off from a price of 0.23 and has now reached about 2.47.

Wow. Crazy.

People taking REAL money and buying this and that hoping to get rich. It sure is entertaining to watch it.
