I think you're missing the point Zero. Also, Wall Street closed for 4 months in 1914 as well for about a week less than 20 years ago, 9/11. So no 100% uptime as you suggest. How would 9/11 have effected the Bitcoin network? It would have rolled along like it always does (apart from that...

Not only that, the Bitcoin network has a 99.98% uptime over the last 11 years. There's not a more secure, bigger and longer lasting uptime network on the planet. It really is quite amazing.

Always a great litmus test with Crypto is if they bang on about Tether being a fraud and the only thing propping up Bitcoin. So if they say the above, you know they a) haven't done any proper research, and b) aren't worth listening to. Like Meyer Lansky said and proved (to the dopey mob...

With 900 new Bitcoins mined per day = roughly $16million (at $18k) imagine if more and more individuals, corporations and funds start to get off zero. Makes you think... (Of course that doesn't mean that's all the Bitcoin available as people who presently own Bitcoin can and do sell).

Sure, it's a tiny fraction but it's almost certainly just a start. Get off zero (%) allocation is the mantra. Doesn't matter if it's just a few basis points because getting off zero proves you've started to do the necessary work to understand Bitcoin. And when everyone does that work (takes...

When the history is written, Trump will go down as the one man in power who constantly warned the US about the very real threat that China poses. No country has ever been a threat to the US like China currently is. Sure, the commies had nuclear weapons but that's about it. China has everthing...

A great litmus test re understanding the Cryto currency ecosystem is if they mention the manipulation and/or potential fraud at tether. If they do, you know they haven't done their homework. 2021 is going to be the year of stablecoins and this time next year we're going to be amazed at what...

1. Because Bitcoin mining generally uses stranded energy. It's also highly likely that Bitcoin mining in the future is going to be a major driver of clean energy tech. Jack from Twitter is already hinting at this. 2. Why would a government ban it if it doesn't work as money/savings? Hence...

1. Bitcoin is backed by raw energy and that's a good thing. 2. Any government that bans Bitcoin would in effect be saying 'it works', think about it. That would be great for Bitcoin and what it's trying to do. Plus, very dangerous for any government to ban it if most of the others don't. Can...

Maybe, but to add some spice add in 'it woz the nasty Russians' :)

Yes, Nobert. You play them at their own game. So if your company is solid, if you can back your facts up with solid evidence you squeeze them back on the upside. But if you don't do the above, it's telling...

Remember when America was the beacon of capitalism? The model that much of the world looked up to and took inspiration from. Hell, even the damn Russian commies marveled at it from the 1960s onwards. And look where that got them over a 200 year period, amazing if you think about it. Now...

FXCM and a few other similar brokers have the 3 main grains, one of them (Oanda?) has Bean Oil or maybe Meal but that's ablout it. If you're in the UK, IG Index has all 5 of them via spread bets but the spread is wide so only good for longer term trades. IG might offer them on CFDs, check with...

I think the cult is actually more on the anti-Bitcoin crowd, I see far more constant screaming and lunacy from their end than the other. Plus, the (not short) bears tend to talk from a basis of little understanding because the common denominator amongst them all is they have no idea to judge...

Sure, but most solid trading strategies don't re-invent the wheel. Most are based on the same sort of principles which means chances are your trading strategy, assuming it's solid that is, has elements of what all the other good traders are utilising. This is why many traders who put on good...

Sure, I'm not trying to be clever with you. But a market that goes through all time highs into clear space is a market that has the real potential to run and run. Not saying this will happen with Bitcoin, but from a probability POV, once a new high (or low) is cleared, a high priced market can...

How do you that right now isn't early?

Yep, it always gets very messy and complicated when we put our rich Western ideals on poor nations. Remember, massive amounts of human rights abuses in our countries 100-200+ years ago. Boys working down mines (Olivier Twist up chimneys), little girls working semi-slave labour in the mills...

Studies have shown the other way as well, selling 1/2 reduces overall profiability and maybe even overall risk. With trading there's never one simple answer...

Do you love to trade? Is it something that you really enjoy (apart from the potential profit)? If so, some traders ban themselves from trading for a day or three when they lose discipline and make some grave mistakes.
