Investing in Cyber Security is Investing in Crypto-Currency

All the hype on Bloomberg this morning is about investing in Cyber Security. "What to invest in this year?" They say. With all the latest news stories and the stock market running high "in a world of growing volatility"and what a statement that is. "We have a more global market, but its increasingly fragmented". I've been hearing that for over 5 years! Could we also say " consistent volatility" ? Is that still volatility at all? Or should they just say "Shit is getting random we know less and less about what is going on an when its going to happen.". Or how about we look at it in a positive way. Could we say the world is getting more sensitive?
The finance news desk say "So whats your pick for investment this year then?"  "Cyber security" reply's the Janette Yellen type, the internet of things lady. Well here's the thing. Bitcoin and cyber currency are basically the physical incarnation of cyber security. The pointy end of the stick. The forefront of cyber security hardware; bitcoin mining machines. The ultimate and most important utility of cyber security; the transfer of value. And a key enabler of internet thingies.

So therefore a dollar spent in the cyber security industry is making a big contribution to the digital currency economy. This happens in so many ways and from so many angles i don't even want to list them. Just ask, name a random thing bitcoin and cyber security investment are best buddies. BFFL's!
If you like, you can look at the global economy like a child growing up and becoming more independent, but also more out of control, like a teenager. Smart parents stay friends with their teenagers friends.
