There was a selloff right after btc touched $5K for a couple of weeks or so all the way to ~$2.6K when China announced a ban or something...

Regulations are fine. In fact, they help to legitimize bitcoin and will prevent a USG ban. This will help to increase the value of bitcoin many folds and could compete with Gold as a store of value/investment vehicle. Gold's valuation is $9 Trillion and bitcoin is at $150 Billion. In my...

I very much prefer for bitcoin not to be banned. It is very easy to eat at restaurants, pay for hotel rooms or plane tickets, purchase coffee, groceries, computer and electronics items, clothes, shoes, and a slew of other stuff using bitcoin through the use of a payment processor (i.e. Bitpay...

A ban on bitcoin by the USG would be devastating. I experienced the US ban on online poker. At the present time, a US ban on bitcoin is very unlikely in my opinion. The recent developments suggest a path to more regulations legalizing the use of bitcoin and to be able to track the users and...

The volatility on Monero $ value is crazy. It gets exacerbated by the volatility of bitcoin/$ as they most often go in the same direction (up or down). In January of last year, Monero was around $11'sh and at the height of bitcoin price, it hit $450'sh. Just yesterday, it was around $370 (as it...

I think we all agree on Monero. For the uninitiated: https://getmonero.org/ Monero community-fund their development using its cryptocurrency and has 2 full-time PhD Mathematicians, Surae and Sarang Noether (refer to the section FFS, Forum Funding System and the MRL, Monero Research Lab, for...

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/could-bitcoin-become-the-next-swiss-bank-account I don't understand the part of setting up an international corporation for handling the bitcoins, but... I have mentioned that bitcoin is like a Swiss bank account, as it doesn't require any personal...

In my opinion, bitcoin will hit $50,000 per coin before the end of 2018. [Oops, need to put context on the attachment by a famous author. I will be holding no less than the equivalent of 20 bitcoins in my cryptocurrencies portfolio from now until 2019]

Apparently, Mt Gox trustee has been selling hundreds of millions $ worth of bitcoin which was why bitcoin price seemed to go down hard every time it was on an uptrend...

That's a very good point and I honestly didn't know about that until your post. My main concern with the Coinbase Index fund is that it doesn't represent the other sectors in the cryptocurrencies universe in the same way an S&P 500 index fund currently does. To be fair, Coinbase will be listing...

I was going to say the same thing, but glad someone else mentioned it. There is value in buying in a big batch as the order book on exchanges will be significantly affected by a large buy order or sell order. The volume is much bigger now than during their past sales, so this may not be the case...

Most government agencies are non-profit. Ask someone you know who works for the US government and you'll get the same answer. No one gets a bonus just because the DMV makes more money from issuing record number of driver's licenses or vehicle registrations...

Bitcoin is at $200B (much less, really, as there are so many lost private keys). Gold is $9 Trillion (from the Fundstrat slide). I don't think you watched that video presentation by Thomas Lee, did you?

Bitcoin cannot go up with the same amount of percentage returns it has done in the past, but it can go up 5x from here which I don't think Apple or Amazon can do at this stage of their cycle. Moreover, if we experience another financial system crisis due to the massive printing that has been...

Bitcoin has evolved over the years and from my point of view, it has been great. I bought the bulk in 2013 (and was also a bitcoin miner for many months). Bitcoin price went all the way up to $1200 only to experience a bear market that seemed to have no end in sight (it bottomed in 2015, but did...

We all have our opinions on the future of bitcoin and obviously I'm biased as my investment portfolio is 100% cryptocurrencies. I posted the Upfront presentation by Thomas Lee that featured detailed research on bitcoin that I feel I should post here as this thread seems to be getting more...

CNBC took notice of the "hedge against market turmoil using bitcoin" narrative: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/03/02/is-bitcoin-a-hedge-against-the-trade-war-one-fm-trader-thinks-so.html

I've always been on the camp of store of value for bitcoin and if bitcoin continues to perform in this regard, the future is looking very good. https://www.forbes.com/sites/panosmourdoukoutas/2018/03/02/two-bullish-signs-for-bitcoin/#23603aef6383
