5 Ways Bitcoin can Improve its Odds of Becoming the Future of Money / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
In 2013, Forbes' Kashmir Hill tried to live on Bitcoin for a full week and it was a rough experience. She couldn't pay her rent, she was practically living on BTC-bought Sushi, and she had to walk or bike to most places. Now, living on Bitcoin for a week will be a significantly improved experience because many merchants both online and offline now display the "Bitcoin Accepted Here' sign. In fact, CNBC has a video documentary showing an entertaining attempt to live on Bitcoin on 2017

By: John_Mauldin
BY JAKE WEBER : Cryptocurrencies have surely been the best-performing asset class of 2017.
The crown jewel of the crypto world Bitcoin has run up over 604% year to date. But that pales in comparison to Ethereum’s 3,562% gain this year.
Naturally, these sorts of monstrous returns in such a short period of time spark heated debate. In fact, many financial pundits and crypto advocates have scrambled to argue whether Bitcoin is a bubble or not.

Bitcoin War Begins – Bitcoin Cash Rises 50% While Bitcoin Drops $1,000 In 24 Hours / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
Don’t be fooled… there is a war going on for bitcoin.
I posited to TDV subscribers months ago that factions of Bitcoin Core and Blockstream are a globalist attempt at taking over or destroying bitcoin. Or at the very least, an attempt to profit from it being slow and expensive.
How else can you make sense of a group that thinks it is totally fine for bitcoin to have transaction fees in the hundreds of dollars. In fact, they prefer it to be expensive!

Bitcoin Nearly Hits $8,000 and Cryptos Skyrocket After Segwit2X Fork Is Called Off / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
There was a lot of speculation about what would happen to bitcoin after the planned Segwit2x fork on November 16th.
Well, we got to find out a week early as news came out today that the Segwit2x fork has been called off.
The suspension was announced today in an email written by Mike Belshe, CEO and co-founder of bitcoin wallet software provider BitGo. One of the leaders of the Segwit2x project, he argued that the scaling proposal is too controversial to move forward, saying,

So You’re a Bitcoin Millionaire! Now Where Do You Invest? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: GoldSilver
If you’ve made a profit from bitcoin and other cryptos, congratulations! You’re obviously a smart investor who spotted a trend early on and was able to profit. Hats off to you.
But now it’s time to take some profits… right? If you were smart enough to buy in early, you’re smart enough to know that it’s not a profit until you take it. And that asset prices don’t rise forever, no matter how revolutionary the technology.
Yes, some cryptos will gain widespread acceptance and use, but most won’t. Yes, the technology is here to stay, but that doesn’t mean prices will rise indefinitely. Yes, it’s a whole new industry that will continue to grow and evolve, but that doesn’t mean you’ll make a killing forever.

Bitcoin Blockchain Hypocrisy Most Foul... / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: The_Gold_Report
Precious metals expert Michael Ballanger examines why gold and silver have been stagnant while bitcoin and blockchains have taken off. As you all know by now, I have absolutely zero knowledge of anything related to the "blockchain" technology, which translates into "I don't own Bitcoin and would not touch HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (HIVE:TSX.V; PRELF:OTC) with a barge pole." That also means that I am constantly being reminded, primarily by those considerably younger than me, that geriatric anchoring is costing me (and my readers) a great deal of money by avoiding the space which, as you can see from the chart below, has been absolutely true.

Bitcoin Might Test All-time High / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
Is Bitcoin in bubble territory? Certainly, the price pattern this year looks like an exponential one, at least locally, but there are also opposing views. In an article on CNBC, we read:
[William] Bernstein is a neurologist who began writing about investing in the 1990s, soon becoming a best-selling author and drawing the admiration of legends such as Vanguard's Jack Bogle for his clear and rational analysis. He is best known for books such as "The Intelligent Asset Allocator" and "The Four Pillars of Investing" that show independent investors how to manage their money for the long term. He is currently retired as a doctor, but co-principal at Efficient Frontier Advisors, a money management firm for the very wealthy.

Apple Legend Steve Wozniak Says Bitcoin Is Better Than The Phony US Dollar / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
We’ve had a seemingly never-ending parade of crony capitalists, bankers, and politicians calling bitcoin everything from a “fraud” to “Enron” to “junk.”
Yesterday, though, a big name came out on the side of bitcoin. Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple.
Notice that while people like JP Morgan’s Jamie Demon and Mastercard CEO, Ajay Banga, have never actually created any real wealth in their lives, Wozniak played a very crucial role in the development of personal computers which has led to the internet… which led to bitcoin… which has created massive amounts of wealth and freedom for the world.

By: ElliottWave-Forecast
Bitcoin continue it’s outstanding performance as it managed to breach the $6000 barrier this weekend, it currently up 200% from 07/16 low and with a total of 500% for this year.

Bitcoin Tests $5,100 / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
There’s been some talk of gold becoming an alternative to gold. Goldman Sachs doesn’t seem to agree. In an article on CNBC, we read:
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are not the "new gold," Goldman Sachs said in a note, advising investors that precious metals "remain a relevant asset class" in portfolios.
In a note to clients earlier this week, Goldman detailed the benefits of holding gold in a portfolio.

Bitcoin Runs In Two Price Channels With Different Time Frame / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Franco_Shao
The BTCUSD trades within a rising price channel with support at its bottom around 5110 on the 4-hour chart, indicating that the price remains in the uptrend from 2970. As long as the price is in the channel, the fall from 5870 could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend and further rise is still possible after the consolidation. The bitcoin price is expected to test 5870 resistance in the coming days. A breakout of this level could trigger further upside movement towards 6500, followed by 7000.

Bitcoin: A Tower of Monetary Babel / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Antonius_Aquinas
The promoters of crypto currencies have gushingly touted them as the mechanism by which the present central banking cabal and the system of nation states which derive much of their power from will be brought down and replaced by digital money. Despite their meteoric rise as speculative “assets,” there are fundamental economic reasons why they will never act as a general medium of exchange despite the wild enthusiasm for them by the crypto-currency cultists.
