Shari’ah-Compliant Crypto Gold: Could Islam Be Preparing for a New World Reserve Currency? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: HAA
Shannara Johnson writes: It all started pretty harmlessly: in December 2016, after about 12 months of deliberations, the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and the World Gold Council announced a new “Shari’ah Standard on Gold.”

Bitcoin and AltCoins Crypto Price Correction / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
I don’t know whether I have been uncannily prescient at predicting where the cryptocurrency market is going… or if I am causing all of the things I am predicting.
It’s a serious question. It seems that when I say I expect a cryptocurrency to go higher it immediately spikes massively higher right after.

By: Jeff_Berwick
Here’s something I’ve been learning. If something innocuous comes out of nowhere and all-of-a-sudden is covered by the mainstream Fake News media as though it is the apocalypse… it’s all planned and done for a reason.
On May 12th, the “WannaCry” ransomware attack was covered widely in the mainstream media, immediately proclaiming it to be the “the worst cyber attack of all time.”

A hacker attack has swept across the globe encrypting user files and crashing corporate services. In an article on CoinDesk, we read:

War on Bitcoin - German Central Bank Warns Not To Use Bitcoin / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
Central banking, which is a tenet of communism and a scheme to impoverish the many to benefit a few, is one of the evilest, most pernicious and rapacious entities on Earth.
So, when a member of the German central bank, Bundesbank, warned against buying bitcoin I almost choked on my wiener schnitzel.
Having a central bank warn against buying bitcoin is like a rapist warning you that sex with your spouse isn’t as exciting as when he rapes you.

USD/CAD - Invalidation of Breakout or Further Rally? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, the greenback moved lower against the Canadian dollar, which pushed USD/CAD below the December high and the previously-broken resistance zone. Is it enough to trigger further deterioration?
In our opinion, the following forex trading positions are justified - summary:
EUR/USD: short (a stop-loss order at 1.1052; the initial downside target at 1.0521)
GBP/USD: none
USD/JPY: long (a stop-loss order at 107.62; the initial upside target at 111.16)
USD/CAD: none
USD/CHF: none
AUD/USD: none

BOOM! Bitcoin Price Blasts To New All Time High! / Commodities / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
Having followed bitcoin since it was $3 in 2011 we have had many, many “all time high” celebrations.
Breaking $10 was a small celebration. Breaking $100 had us cheering and buying a round of drinks at the bar. And, when it broke $1,000, TDV subscribers were heard around the world buying sports cars and yachts.
But with bitcoin breaking above $1,325.00 to hit an all time high of $1,331.31 on CoinDesk’s Bitcoin Price Index (BPI), this is a memorable one.

Bitcoin Gets WinkleF*ked By the Criminal SEC Organization / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
Last week we heralded, “Bitcoin Is Now As Good As Gold, Actually, It’s Better”.

At the time it was around $1,250.
