Financial Crisis 2018

Image
You wake up today and check the news to find out that the stock market has crashed 40% overnight. We haven’t had a financial crisis since 2008. But guess what? Nothing has changed since then. Banks take on the same or more risk than they did back then. There are more derivatives outstanding than ever. The global economy is even more complex. I just checked recently and the 90 day S&P average returns are approximately -12%. Is this the start of something ugly? Many experts think the gains in the stock market have already been taken. This information makes me go full contrarian and buy crypto as a non-toxic asset. It literally acts as a hedge against the fall in traditional asset classes. My personal favorite right now is Bitcoin Cash (BCH) which has outperformed all major crypto coins and tokens recently. What is it going to take for people to jump into crypto? I talk to a lot of Americans and many are unwilling to make the switch to crypto because they haven’t experienced enough pa

Summer 2018 Crypto Markets: Why This Year Could Be Different

Image
The cryptocurrency market has come roaring back, and if this trend continues, it looks like BTC could be back on its way to 10k in a matter of weeks— a rising tide that will lift other crypto boats. Many who kept the faith during these bearish past few months have pointed out that the cryptocurrency market follows an annual cycle that goes something like this: Things start off strong in January, followed by a significant correction. Bearish trend remains until late spring, giving way to a smaller bullish uptick, followed by a flattening off in the summer months. Starting in September, prices begin to rise again, culminating in a bull market every year in November and December. There are numerous theories as to why this pattern has repeated in recent years, ranging from family discussions of cryptocurrencies at the Thanksgiving table spurring huge November buy-ins across the US, to the Chinese New Year in late winter/early spring, which is associated with sell-offs across Asia by millio

That’s One Sexy BCH*— Exciting Developments Coming up for Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash Upgrade There will be major changes for Bitcoin Cash next month— changes which could solidify its reputation as the fastest, most reliable cryptocurrency for everyday use. While some people (mostly BCH detractors) are labeling this a “hard fork”, the reality is that this is really an upgrade to the BCH network. There is not going to be a new coin created; instead the BCH we know will be replaced by a bigger and better one. Think technological superiority. On May 15th, there will be two big changes: 1) Block size will be increased from 8 MB to 32 MB. As we all know, the issue of scalability has been a consistent problem for cryptocurrencies ever since they first appeared, and in many ways, it is still the primary obstacle that hinders their wider adoption. Quadrupling the block size of BCH will go a long way toward tackling this challenge through an update called Bitcoin Adjustable Blocksize Cap, or “Bitcoin ABC”. Blocks will still confirm with an average of 10 minut

Why You Should Surrender to Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

The Bitcoin (BTC) vs Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has been raging since last summer. While BTC continues to get more media attention, things could change very soon (as I’m sitting here typing this, BCH is up 13%). Today I’m going to give you 3 good reasons why you WILL regret ignoring BCH— and, no transaction speed isn’t one of them. Look, it’s already been established that Bitcoin Cash is superior to BTC for use as an everyday currency. The transaction speeds are incomparable, and with the upgrade to 32MB blocks coming in May, it’s only going to get better. There simply is no debate anymore; despite all the hype surrounding the Lightening Network, BTC still has not caught up to BCH in terms of practicality as a digital currency. The transaction speed war is over, and Bitcoin Cash won. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, there are 3 more reasons why you should not be sleeping on BCH: Memo.cash Now this is an interesting one… Memo  is basically a blockchain-based social media platform.

Puerto Rico, Taxes, and a Bitcoin Utopia

Image
It’s tax time, and many Americans are waking up to the harsh reality of the gains on their crypto trades. The process is complicated, confusing, and costly. Everything from bitcoin purchases to airdrops are subject to capital gains tax, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is lighting a fire under holders to collect what is owed. In November , federal regulators ordered Coinbase to release records of users that had more than $20,000 in transactions between 2013-2015, impacting more than 14,000 traders. It is no wonder crypto traders are looking for alternatives. One group of crypto entrepreneurs, led by Brock Pierce of the Bitcoin Foundation, headed to Puerto Rico to escape some of the tax drama of the mainland. Their plan? To build a crypto-utopia. And the process has already begun. Currently, the group, which they’ve named Sol, has already started the process of searching for properties on the island. “The Monastery,” a 20,000 square foot hotel the group has rented out, acts as S

Telegram and the Future of ICOs

Image
As regulators worldwide begin to crack down on ICOs, start-ups are becoming more weary of the risks associated with public offerings. In many cases, companies are skirting these regulations with air drops, or the distribution of free tokens, at least for the time being. One of the most notable ICOs that may be skipping its public offering is Telegram . Despite the cancelation rumors, the messaging app already enjoys the position of first ever billion-dollar ICO. EOS also had a big raise. So far, Telegram has already raised over $1.7 billion in private sales, as confirmed by recent SEC filings. "The goal of fundraising is to gain access to capital to allow a team to build a product and company. It appears Telegram has already achieved their goal so there would be no reason to conduct a public sale," explained Anthony Pompliano of Morgan Creek Capital Blockchain. Telegram has remained silent regarding the possible delay or outright cancelation of their public offering, but no
