Damn does indeed sound very similar to eachother, although the dgb one looks and sounds better
Without a doubt the DGB vid looks better! And I'm not biased either.
Seriously, the difference is like night and day. Did you notice that in the Mashable vid they refer to BTC as a commodity? That's not the first time BTC proponents have referred to BTC as a commodity. It happens quite often - in fact I might even risk saying that it is a generally accepted comparison. I guess that's natural since they want to equate BTC with gold.
Gold is not exactly the same as money though. It's not as "liquid" as it were. Gold usually has to be "converted" into a currency before it can be spent. Gold and USD are not the same.
DGB compares itself with real money, with currencies that do not need to be "converted" or "exchanged" in order to be used in real life to purchase "things" (like gold, for example).
This is a huge difference between BTC and DBG (among others) that's always worth keeping in mind. Of course, it is a logical result of the inherent bases of both - the 10 minute average BTC block discovery time and resulting 1 hour confirmation time won't ever let BTC function in real life as a viable currency, whereas DGB's 3 minute confirmation time (and it should not be forgotten that this is also built on top of an
even more secure network) does indeed make DGB a real currency (that is also an even better investment as well) like Jared has always envisioned.
That having been said, has anyone watched the BTC blockchain lately?
https://blockchain.info/ Those are million dollar total transaction amounts in each new block!!! WOW! And if a crypto that has such important limitations that it is assigned a gold comparison status by default can see this kind of sustained activity, what does that say about the future prospects for a cryptocurrency that's more secure and 20 times faster?
Whose signature line says "The future is bright with DigiByte"? I think you're right!
BTW: very nice ramp on expanding volume in BTC these last few days breaking above the $245.00 area and now backtesting to see if it turns into support - $300.00 could be on the table in short order if it can hold $245.00.
