Not big baller, but general concensus from people I have worked with is coinbase is a good place to get started until you learn more.
That's what I did. For both BTC, ETH. Granted it is a small investment. I wanted to get comfortable.

Liquidmetal adds Metal Injection Moulding production line to its amorphous metal expertise
May 23, 2017
Good reminder article explains how the company for saw how orders would be processed in the US. It's a long one.
"The company will offer customers both US and China sourced amorphous metal and MIM production. To simplify the offshoring interests of US customers, Liquidmetal will manage all purchase order transactions and scheduling, including inventory management services with warehousing capacity, through its Lake Forest location."

Incorrect- without getting into the math there are some running around. im good with numbers, not so good with math. Not sure it matters if it 250 or 450 at this point. To the moon or perhaps mars?
Yeah, seriously things are pretty scifi. We are looking at buying a nano satellite for work. No kidding.
I'm waiting to purchase my first bmg home until the prices come down
New study from RMIT University PhD student unlocks the incredible potential of bulk metallic glass. 8-3-2017
Despite the name, metallic glass has nothing to do with shiny windows. It is a solid metal alloy that is super strong – with enormous potential for structural use – from building planes to nano (incredibly small) electronics.
Yet while these new composites are at the forefront of materials development thanks to superior mechanical and structural properties, they are also brittle and wildly unpredictable. Harnessing their strengths is proving elusive as their non-crystalline atomic structure is difficult to pin down.
These alloys can also suffer catastrophic failure under force. That’s a problem.
Which is why RMIT PhD student MM Ali Rafique has investigated ways to predict the behaviour of different metal matrix composite materials and therefore, of metallic glass.
“Their performance is dubious and requires extensive experimentation to draw conclusions. In our recent study we show you can overcome this pitfall with a simulation,” Rafique said.
Along with fellow researchers, Dong Qiu and Mark Easton from the School of Engineering, Rafique developed a simple tool to measure the microstructural features of metallic glass when cooled from a liquid state. The study was recently published in the Material Research Society’s journal, MRS Advances.
“It is a quantitative mathematical model that yields information about numerical parameters necessary to understand the behaviour of each individual element. It’s simple and easy to use,” Rafique said.
“It has potential benefits to the manufacturing industry, for foundries and also in steel making and chemicals development.”
Professor Calum Drummond, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Innovation, said the study was a big step forward for industry.
“We now have a model that explains individual elements’ behaviour in these multi-component alloys. We encourage this sort of work as it should have a broad impact on industry.”

Viscous Liquid Foam - Bulk Metallic Glass (Foam) - 06.28.17
Science Objectives for Everyone
This investigation tests and produces hardened foam from bulk metallic glass. The absence of gravity facilitates the creation of a more uniform metallic glass foam, a material with an extremely high strength to weight ratio. Developing lighter and stronger materials can lead to a more durable spacecraft that will require less propellant to travel long distances.
Science Results for Everyone
Have foam, will (space) travel. Microgravity makes it possible to produce metallic glass foam with an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. Spacecraft made of such light, strong material would be more durable against space debris, yet require less fuel. This experiment studied the formation of metallic foam from bulk metallic glass, a type of metal alloy that solidifies without crystallizing, and demonstrated foaming an expandable structure in microgravity and a vacuum. Researchers examined the physics of bubble and foam formation in microgravity and found that foam created on the ground and aboard the Space Station had similar textures.

Crucible -Layer-by-layer construction with bulk metallic glasses
US 20130309121 A1
ABSTRACT
Described herein are methods of constructing a part using BMG layer by layer. In one embodiment, a layer of BMG powder is deposited to selected positions and then fused to a layer below by suitable methods such as laser heating or electron beam heating. The deposition and fusing are then repeated as need to construct the part layer by layer. One or more layers of non-BMG can be used as needed. In one embodiment, layers of BMG can be cut from one or more sheets of BMG to desired shapes, stacked and fused to form the part

Yeah not falling on either side of the fence, just sharing the information. This whole area is very chaotic. It seems like there is no single company that owns it all and does it all. Makes sense as BMG is trying to mature? More eyes and work with bulk metallic glass the better.

That's a dream worth having. Wouldn't that be something.
Yes it is exciting to be sure. This article caught my eye because it wasn't your standard shake and bake article. I like the long feedback as a counter to the invariable short term investors.
Yes a nice reminder of an article, helps me keep perspective :)
Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:LQMT) a Quality Long Play?
Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:LQMT) has seen a nice bump over the last five days. LQMT has an 11% increase since then but the story is that the stock has really held its gains from the Spring. It truly seems like this stock impressed traders enough during March, April and May and has no plans of looking back.
LQMT has really started to establish itself and its affiliation with Apple, even after all these years, is working wonders for the stock. The company is now turning its amorphous alloys expertise toward the medical industry and traders seem to be paying attention to this interesting move.
Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:LQMT) casts itself as a materials technology company that designs, develops, and sells products and components from bulk amorphous alloys to customers in various industries. It offers components for non-consumer electronic devices, including aerospace components, defense parts, medical devices, sporting goods, leisure products, automotive components, and industrial machines.

So what do you think? Are we still pushing forward tomorrow? I can't think of any reason we wouldn't continue to melt up. I suppose if folks decided to sell it would reverse (duh!). But who would sell now? Thinking we will continue to rise until the earnings call?
Still showing 100% BUY
You shouldn't get ripped, that's smart.
Loading up with more, anyone else?
Toyota Battery Patent - Interesting patent calling out
Suitable ceramic active anode/cathode metal ion conductors include glassy or amorphous metal ion conductors......
Apple has decided to utilize the technology to explore the internal capabilities of a new fuel cell.
Using the Liquidmetal (or as the patent describes “amorphous alloy”), Apple is looking into designing an electrochemical battery, which generates electricity from hydrogen. This exclusive agreement that Apple has sign up for will give them technology which NASA say is “poised to redefine materials science as we know it in the 21st century.”
The new patent of Apple describes an electrochemical battery that generates electricity with the help of hydrogen. The material is an amorphous alloy or “metallic glass”. Apple signed a contract for using the Liquidmetal Tehnologies’ IP in consumer electronic products in 2010, but the plan was not completely fulfilled.
Apple Granted Their First Fuel Cell Patent
Apple's newly granted patent covers their invention relating to systems that use fuel cells to provide electrical power. More specifically, the disclosed embodiments relate to a fuel cell system which is designed to provide electrical power to a portable computing device.

Information on the iPhone 8 has been confirmed
The clever microprogramm in the HomePod code found a rumor about the iPhone 8. The novelty concerns the new method of protection and smartphone pictures. This edition of The Verge- writes.
According to mechanics, the front camera of the screen will be able to detect faces by infrared light. In addition, a new iPhone 8 graphic image was found in the code. It is absolutely proved to be the version of predefined models. It seems that the smartphone will have a full screen on one side.
Information about laser sensor was released in early July. According to available information, Apple is going to use laser sensor VCSEL. With the help of this smartphone will be able to determine the depth of the scene. This means that the distance between different objects in the frame determines the distance. In addition, the laser sensor, in the usual way, increases the quality and speed of autofocus.
On April 25, the iPhone 8's photos spread. The US Patent and Trademark Bureau published a document in early April that describes plans to use Apple's "liquid metal" (Liquid Metal).
Presentation of the new iPhone 8 is planned for the fall of 2017.
What would you recommend to a new investor who say wanted to invest $10k in LQMT? Would it be best to buy now or to wait until fist news/orders to minimize risk and buy on the way up?
Maybe, but I STILL like it

BARCHART OPINION for Mon, Jul 31st, 2017
https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/LQMT/opinion
I had a few friends trying to get in Friday and today. Hard to do if you are trying to get in lower than .30. Perhaps there enough of them with limit orders to make it attractive?
Honestly at this point to sell I'm thinking you are a MM or trader. A very disciplined trader at that. All indications are still a strong buy? Plus with news on the way? But hey they might be smarter than me for sure. Whats Cramer say? Buy on the way up right?
