billion business. That means $80 billion must flow into Apple to produce that gain. Compare that to a business with a $50 million market cap, though – one that’s less than 1% the size of Apple. Those kinds of stocks go up 10% higher all the time. They can double or triple in a day in some cases.

“smart contracts” – or computer code that executes financial transactions automatically. Some call it “programmable money.” Here’s an example... An airline passenger might buy an insurance policy before her flight. If she lands more than two hours late, she wants to be reimbursed. With smart contracts, that can happen automatically.

Bitcoin is like the “reserve currency” of the crypto world. A lot of crypto transactions are priced in bitcoin, so if bitcoin gets more expensive – and it will – everything else reflects that gain.

But one of the tiny cryptos I follow, called verge, went up 4,000% in the same time span – 40 times the gains. This is exactly what we’re going to see in the smaller cryptos in 2019.
