Vicious Trio Keeps Bitcoin in Chokehold / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
The craziness of it. Bitcoin has been storming up and down, from $20,000 to $6,000 and back to $11,000 again. This volatility makes most traders’ stomachs churn, their faces go pale and their palms start to sweat. As if this action weren’t enough, an unknown trader has put their money where their mouth is – all $400 million of it. One can’t help but wonder what in the market justifies such an extreme move. On the Fortune website, we read:
An anonymous trader has sunk $400 million—enough to buy New York state’s most expensive home twice with change left over—into the cryptocurrency, raising his or her stake from 55,000 coins to more than 96,000 between Feb. 9 and Feb. 12. And that buy-in is already paying substantial returns.

Will Bitcoin be Larger Than NEO in 2018? / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
NEO is currently the 7th largest cryptocurrency, and it is growing fast. Just one year ago, NEO was only worth roughly 12 cents per coin. However, the currentprice of NEO is roughly $117. Despite the fact that bitcoin is currently about 22 times larger than NEO by market cap, if NEO keeps growing at its current pace, it could hypothetically catch up to bitcoin. This is especially true if bitcoin experiences a slump, or if NEO increases its growth rate.

The Correlation Between Cryptocurrenices & GDP / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Rodney_Johnson
It was the best of times, it was the best of times. OK, that’s not exactly the Dickens quote from A Tale of Two Cities, but even with the recent volatility and inflation jitters, the sentiment seems to fit the mood of the marketstoday. And what’s not to like?Tax reform will put more coin in most people’s pockets in the weeks ahead, not to mention fill corporate coffers to the point of overflowing. Based on estimates of future spending and earnings, investors are driving stocks higher from what were already record levels.

For thousands of Australian individuals and businesses across the country, foreign currency exchange is just a fact of life - and also the cause of many a headache.

Could Stellar Lumens be a Challenger to Bitcoin for International Payments? / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
Bitcoin has clearly cemented its position at the top of the cryptocurrency pecking order.
The last few years have seen its status grow immensely, to the point where many people (wrongly) see cryptocurrency and Bitcoin as inseparable.
In the last year or so, Bitcoin’s price has skyrocketed and many new investors have benefitted hugely. If you’d bought a single Bitcoin at the start of 2017, you’d now be about $7000 better off.

Bitcoin as Poison / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
The views on Bitcoin among various investors are quite polarized. The whole spectrum includes both people directly owning the cryptocurrency and those who seem to hate it. We have read analyses suggesting that a surprising percentage of hedge fund managers own digital coins. At the same time, Warren Buffett's investment chief, Charlie Munger, called Bitcoin “noxious poison.” Do such words mean that Bitcoin is doomed? In an article on the Guardian website, we read:
Bitcoin is heading towards $10,000 again, despite comments from the US billionaire Charles Munger who described the digital currency as “noxious poison”.
(…)
Speaking at the annual meeting of the US publishing firm Daily Journal, which he chairs, in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Munger said: “I never considered for one second having anything to do with it. I detested it the moment it was raised. It’s just disgusting. Bitcoin is noxious poison.”

U.S. Dollar Bull and Bear Markets / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The idea of endlessly repeated cycles is a very old one. This is how the ancients perceived time: not as linear sequence of events, but as replaying patterns of dark and golden ages. Although the Judeo-Christian culture changed the way we view time, we like to see the market as an area of constant struggle between bulls and bears, and the resulting upward and downward trends.
Since the end of the Bretton Woods system back in the early 1970s, the U.S. dollar has also moved in trends and cycles. Due to data availability, the chart below shows the trade weighted index of the greenback against the currencies of America’s major trading partners from 1973 until January 2018, with bull and bear markets marked with green and red arrows.

Bitcoin and Crypto Currencies Steady Within Range / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: New_Forex_Trends
In the early parts of 2018, we have already seen a strong injection of volatility in the financial arena as a whole. The VIX volatility index has risen to levels that we have not seen in a very long time, and this is starting to push many new investors out of the stock market space. The clearest alternative at this stage still appears to be the crypto currencies, as they have already been shown to benefit a great deal more from these types of situations.
Most of the analysis tends to pin itself on the trends that are seen in BTC, which has fallen off sharply over the last few weeks. After hitting highs near 20,000 Bitcoin has reversed and erased a large amount of stakeholder value in the process. But this has not eroded market interest, as the crypto space is still one of the biggest volume trading gainers of the last year.

US Stock Markets & Cryptos Crashing… Is This The Big One? / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Jeff_Berwick
After the 666 point drop on the 33rd day of the year on Friday, which I said likely was a signal that things were going into play, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lost as much as 1,597 points by mid-afternoon on Monday.
The Dow ended up closing down 1,175 points, or 4.6% which was the largest single-day decline for the blue-chip index on a points basis in history.

“Strong Dollar,” “Weak Dollar,” What About a Gold-Backed Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Antonius_Aquinas
The recent hullabaloo among President Trump’s top monetary officials about the Administration’s “dollar policy” is just the start of what will likely be the first of many contradictory pronoucements and reversals which will take place in the coming months/years as the world’s reserve currency continues to be compromised. So far, the Greenback has had its worst start since 1987, the year of a major stock market reset.
The brief firestorm was set off by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin who said in response to the dollar’s recent slide, “Obviously, a weaker dollar is good for us, it’s good because it has to do with trade and opportunities.”* Mnuchin backtracked a bit as international financial leaders criticized the apparent shift in policy while Administration officials sought to clarify the Secretary’s remarks. President Trump weighted in on the matter saying, “Ultimately, I want to see a strong dollar” and added that Mnuchin’s comments were “taken out of context.”

Bitcoin Crypto Currencies Crash 2018, Are We Near the Bottom? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Bitcoin's $20,000 bubble mania peak of Mid December that valued the crypto currency at $320 billion has long since been left in the dust as Bitcoin has crashed well below $10,000, wiping out $170 billion of the value of participants holdings. All whilst the crypto coin gamblers obsessed by all things block chain have largely remained in a state of denial, focused on bitcoin soaring to over $50,000 despite its real inverse trend trajectory as tends to happen at the end of market manias.
And so it has been the case since I published my opening Bitcoin forecast of the year over a month ago when the crypto was trading at USD 14,000, warning that the Bitcoin price was likely to continue crashing towards $5,000, a forecast that was met with denial from many in the bitcoin community.

Dow Falls 666 Points As Cryptocurrencies Crash And Krugman Emerges From His Van / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Jeff_Berwick
On Friday, the Dow Jones fell 665.75 points. Or, if you round it, 666 points. Also known to many as the “mark of the beast”. It was also the sixth worst point drop in US stock market history.
This also happened on the 33rd day of the year. 33 is the most important number in Freemasonry.
This is noteworthy because it is the first serious drop in the US stock markets on a weekly basis in two years.
But are the numbers 666 and 33 just a coincidence?
