Any crypto or digital currency owned by any one agency is not going to be a successful one in the long term. Thanks for the post thought in case people do not know about the backgrounds of the cryptos they may be into.

On top of hacking issues, I fear for any crypto that is choosing to join the Ethereum blockchain with their either upcoming or current ties to Russia in like NEM or Ripple https://www.rt.com/business/393741-ethereum-russia-blockchain-buterin/

I'm sure all the creators of these currencies got a great pay day and happily converted their earnings back into Bitcoin lol.
