We have seen a drop of the most popular coins of 30% (plus minus) over the last days. 

I strongly believe it's because of market manipulation. There is a sellout from the super wealthy (whales) that now causes fear from the amateur traders causing them to sell (often with loss). The drop in price is therefore enhanced by the fear. The next that will happen is that the super wealthy (whales) will buy back but the amateurs will wait and miss the low. They will wait until we are back up again. Then it's too late and the circle goes on and on until we get either a true crash or a true bull run.

With the new election  (first round) of Alberto Fernandez  as the best bet as new president for Argentina, the stock market fell 48% on Monday and the Peso fell 15% against the USD and yet another 6% yesterday.

The fear from IHS Markit is now that Argentina goes bankrupt with a likelihood of 72% within the next 5 years!

This could really trigger a change to crypto for the common man in Argentina and all around the world. Especially also Italy, Greece and UK.

If I was living in Argentina I would change my Pesos to Ethereum, Litecoin and Ripple.

Nothing to do with crypto but as investment this seems like a very nice idea!

Bob keep your Ether. I also strongly believe that altcoin will take over the dominance from BTC. BTC are too slow. 

The faith in altcoin from the overall public could be better.....

This article about deflation and Litecoin as a store of value is spot on. We must both hold and spend.

"Probably one of the most revolutionary aspects of Litecoin is its deflationary model.  This means that the number of Litecoin that is produced decreases over time and even will stop eventually once supply reaches 84,000,000.  This stands in stark contrast to the inflationary model most of the world has.
Inflation Based Model
In this model, the money printed is intentionally increased year by year.  The underlying principle is that the value of your fiat decreases therefore you are more incentivized to spend it now rather than later.  This facilitates a spending economy with free-flowing cash.  Inflationary Economics also tend to be geared toward high leverage practices such as debts, loans, and credit.  

Deflation Based Model


In this model, less money is printed year by year.  The idea is that your fiat (or Litecoin) will be worth more later than it is now.  However, one criticism this model has received is that it creates a hoarding culture so that no one will actually want to spend money that appreciates.  Therefore, there a spending economy wouldn't exist.  In fact, I actually get this question a lot on r/litecoin.  Why would I spend LTC now if it'll be worth more tomorrow? 

I recently stumbled across this wonderful video by Jörg Guido Hülsmann, a professor from the Austrian School of Economics, which I believe summed up very nicely that fundamentals of deflation to answer this question.  If you have an hour, I strongly suggest you listen to it.  However, I've also included some notable highlights I thought were important below.

Some Notable Highlights
Inflation based economists have long claimed that a deflation is impractical; or rather impossible.  However, Germany had one of the highest growth rates in the 1980's within the context of maintaining a deflation based economy.  This is a fact and acts as evidence that deflation is more than just a viable alternative.

But how exactly does deflation work if everyone's hoarding?  

1. Deflation discourages spending.  However, it is impossible to completely remove the need to spend.
   
2. Two reasons why someone would spend are as follows: a) The Basic Necessities b) Time Preference
   • The Basic Necessities- It's true that your groceries will cost less next year. However, you still need to eat in order to get through to next year.  Therefore, people will spend money on the things they absolutely need or value. This extends to housing, security, etc.
     
   • Time Preference- This is the idea that people will spend money on things now rather than later. Even though it'd be cheaper to go to the beach next year, I'm not going to wait to go with my friends or family. People want to enjoy the beach now.
     

1. First, have a plan of cashing out. Remember that deflation doesn’t mean you hodl forever, rather it suggests that you take stock of the things you truly value and spend money on those things. Be disciplined about identifying value whether it relates to big purchase items or hitting a specific price point where you cash out x% of your portfolio (which by the way is a great way to hedge against LTC’s volatility).
   
2. Identify different ways to spend LTC on smaller purchases to continually demonstrate LTC’s utility. These are things you’d normally spend in fiat but can use Litecoin for. But remember to buy back what you spend. That way the opportunity cost of an appreciating asset is mitigated. For example, you’re going to spend money to buy lunch anyways. Why not use Litecoin instead and simply buy it back later to help increase adoption? Especially when this will only make your Litecoin more valuable in the future?
   

I think this is a potential good investment. It's not crypto but crime fighting robots like from the movies. 

What do you guys think?

It's quite some time that I know about EOS but I forgot to go deeper in it.
This week I did some exploration on EOS and found out it is a realy good product.
I purchased some and started staking.
By coinincidence I just got a mail from coinbase to earn some extra EOS token.
I got some other messages in the past from coinbase to earn tokens and it gained me some.
So if you want to know more about EOS and earn a few tokens:

I think the guy is wrong. BTC will not go down below $6000 now, but what do you think?
