RE: Ethereum goes over $350 - Has it broken out of it's past slump? Why?
I believe that Russia will probably the first to introduce the blockchain and crypto into the world of the average person. We have already seen it in burger kings and other stores there as well as Russia have been leading a mass operation on mining bitcoin.
We have already seen Vitalik meet Putin showing their huge interest in blockchain technology and ETH will definitely have a bright future if Russia uses it for smart contracts as well as companies like Microsoft and Visa trying to pick up Ethereum Developers.
It seems like Russia will be financially prosperous in the coming years while the rest of the world tries to hold on to the failing fiat system. Russia will probably gain the status of being IT and technological leaders sooner or later.
That is why I've started to accumulate Waves as well. I don't know if we will see the same growth as ETH but I think there is still potential to grow @surfyogi
One thing I contemplate is there could be something of a new arms race here.
Can the US fail to respond to Russia embracing blockchain tech openly?
