The world was taken by surprise this past week when BTC surged above $8000 for the first time in weeks. On 4/12/18, BTC shot up an incredible $1000 in only 30 minutes, one of the fastest price increases ever recorded in such a timeframe. Currently, the price hovers just under 8k, and the crypto space is on fire with speculation that the long bear market is finally over. But are we really out of the woods? Let’s examine what may have caused this recent spike, and determine whether it’s time to pop the champagne and celebrate, or if this all just a mirage before yet another drop. First, what happened on 4/12? There are a couple different theories about what triggered this. In no particular order, they include: Institutional money getting in on the game: world renowned firms like Soros Fund Management have announced this past week that it will begin trading cryptocurrencies, in spite of Soros himself dismissing cryptocurrencies are recently as January. Venrock (the venture capital fund o

Chain Death Cryptocurrencies have struggled to gain their footing in 2018 following a barrage of regulatory concerns, hacks, and high-profile scams. While many headlines suggest that this is the beginning of the end for cryptos, the tremendous amount of institutional wealth flowing into the space suggests otherwise. It may get much worse though, before it gets better.   Still, it is important for any investor to recognize the hurdles ahead. Many cryptocurrencies, including King Bitcoin, still face blockchain destroying vulnerabilities. While the recent additions of the Lightning Network and SegWit removed some of the most daunting concerns of a potential ‘Chain Death,’ the threat still exists, and it’s more than just Bitcoin at risk. Bitcoin vs. Bitcoin Cash Last year’s Chain Death Spiral fears stemmed from the battle between Bitcoin and the Bitcoin Cash hard fork / airdrop. Following the August fork, miners migrated between the two coins, testing the profitability of each. As miners

I recently read an article titled “Why America Can’t Regulate Bitcoin”. It literally blew my mind. I will provide a brief summary of the contents but the reader should read the entire article to understand just how accurate the author is - https://twitter.com/Beautyon_ and how much diligence and research into case law was performed. Basically, the reason you can’t regulate Bitcoin is because it is hexadecimal code which is just text. This code and the blockchain can be printed on paper, if desired. The text is protected by Freedom of Speech in the US Constitution. In order to regulate Bitcoin you have to remove the First Amendment. This article references case law which was proven in courts in the United States that Bitcoin is not money and judges had to throw out money laundering cases using Bitcoin because it’s not money. At some point soon we may see exchanges denominate Bitcoin as zero dollars since it is not money.   Interested in learning more? Explore our  Connecticut SEO Agen

In my best estimate, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is going down in the short term. Some traders online are saying that the BTC price will hit $8000 once again. I’m waiting for more deals to appear before making new moves. Some facts that are true regarding crypto right now are that social media companies are censoring posts related to crypto. As I mentioned in a previous post, some of the 2017 crypto growth is attributed to social media related to crypto. If censorship by major media continues, it will be harder to educate new users about crypto using these channels and onboard them. Another major marketing point which attracts new users is increases in the price of cryptocurrencies as highlighted by the news. If the price does not move up quickly, then this marketing bullet simply does not work. Also, since Coinbase was forced to stop allowing credit card transactions, new gateways and onramps to crypto have slowed down. If you would like to know my opinion on new value drivers for cryp

What I'm looking for is the next big driver of value to the crypto markets. In 2017, we had credit cards and social media. What I'm trying to figure out is what will the 2018 killer value app be for crypto? What can we do to increase adoption to the crypto markets? My goal is to find direct ways to contribute. For example, I have a crypto blog which you can read for free. Some drivers of value to Crypto in 2018 include: Working decentralized marketplaces for physical and digital goods to disintermediate from middlemen.  Inter-blockchain communication. Killer deployment tools.  (DEX) Decentralized Exchanges. I've used token.store and it works wonderfully for ETH tokens. The UI is quite intuitive. The exchange doesn't hold your private key.  More gateways (on ramps). More smart contracts on Ethereum and other networks.  Interested in learning more?
