Bitcoin Price Moves above $8,000 to All-time High / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
The recent action in Bitcoin probably makes it relatively easy for the media to write stories about the currency. For some time now, we have consistently seen titles on Bitcoin’s sequence of all-time high and sometimes the move up is linked to the denial of a proposed change in the network, called SegWit2x. In an article on CNBC, we read:
Bitcoin hit a fresh all-time high Monday above the $8,000 mark after a wild week for the cryptocurrency.
On Monday around 12:25 p.m. London time, it hit a record high of $8,121.56, according to data from industry website CoinDesk. Bitcoin first broke the $8,000 handle on Sunday.

By: Jeff_Berwick
For some reason, most people are only thankful for a few days every year. Why they aren’t thankful and grateful for everything they have every day is anyone’s guess.
But, today is the day that most people celebrate a government mandated holiday based on mostly lies about how Europeans committed genocide on the North American continent.

Bitcoin Rebounded Strongly From 5427 / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Franco_Shao
BTCUSD rebounded strongly from the bottom support trend line of the price channel on the daily chart after a sharp drop from 7887, suggesting that the bitcoin price remains in the uptrend from 1812. As long as the channel support holds, the fall from 7887 could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend and further rise could be expected after the consolidation.

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

The Bitcoin Bubble Explained in 4 Charts / Currencies / Bitcoin
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.
