Missing comments about: 1. difficulty increasing in order that exponential # of machines required and thus need to keep upgrading hardware as more miners come on board, and 2. What can you buy with btc vs eth.

Still interested to have an article explaining ICOs, since they seem to be so popular atm,

You might not be aware of it, but one of the benefits of the Internet is the ability to use what are called hyperlinks. Do your readers the service of adding a link rather than simply making an assertion. This is also the convention in forums.
 
If there are points missing from the article, if you can provide better explanations, or if you have links to good resources, please share them.

We are learning about cryptocurrencies as we go along, and any help we can get from people with experience is really appreciated.

Also, if you see any mistakes or have any suggestions about our cryptocurrency content, drop us a message anytime.

PS: You are also welcome to send tips on which altcoin will hit it big in the coming months :)

Will publish the post on PW later, but essentially Smart contracts help you exchange money, property, shares, or anything of value in a transparent, conflict-free way, while avoiding the services of a middleman.

The best way to describe smart contracts is to compare the technology to a vending machine. Ordinarily, you would go to a lawyer or a notary, pay them, and wait while you get the document. With smart contracts, you simply drop a bitcoin into the vending machine (i.e. ledger), and your escrow, driver’s license, or whatever drops into your account.*More so, smart contracts not only define the rules and penalties around an agreement in the same way that a traditional contract does, but also automatically enforce those obligations.
 
It's like an IF statement so when/if certain conditions are met then the contract executes.
