By: MoneyMetals
By Stefan Gleason, : The dangerous provocations between North Korea and the United States haven’t yet escalated enough to rattle financial markets. The U.S. stock market notched another new record high last week, helping to blunt safe-haven demand for gold and silver.

Criminal Chinese Government Crashes The Cryptocurrency Market / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Jeff_Berwick
What do governments do? Enslave people. What do central banks do? Impoverish people. And what do government regulations do? Destroy capital, impoverish people and protect the monopolies of the 1%.
And today we are seeing how government regulations, which is just another word for “threats of violence” and “extortion” can impoverish people and destroy capital while protecting the financial banking monopoly.
And that is exactly what has happened in China this week where the People’s Bank of China, the Chinese central bank, has officially declared ICOs (initial coin offerings) to be an illegal method of raising money.

The Coming Crypto-Crisis? / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Brady_Willett
Since 2008 there has been a widespread increase in debt around the globe, central bankers have printed and experimented with direct asset purchases like never before, and there have been many dangerous bubble-like oddities in the marketplace worthy of attention (i.e. student debt, subprime auto, junk bonds, housing, etc.). Nevertheless, despite the record increase in paper wealth since 1Q09 there has been no unifying ‘mania’ for the grumpily inclined to ceaselessly growl about. That is, perhaps, until now:
“Bitcoin Cash’s price nearly doubled within its first 24 hours, surging from roughly $394 to $757…” Forbes

Cryptocurrencies: Modern Day Alchemy / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Michael_Pento
Cryptocurrencies make good currencies, but fail miserably when trying to achieve the status of money.

Cryptocurrencies Exploding: This Is Nuts / Currencies / BlockChain
By: The_Gold_Report
You can get to seven figures right now—it's possible, because I already have met 23 people who have done that, the youngest of whom is now 23, but was 17 when he bought Bitcoins initially.
You've got to be on high alert when you hear that even the harshest Bitcoin skeptics, like long-time Bitcoin slammer Josh Brown, of New York-based Ritholtz Wealth Management, are now blogging about buying some "in case I'm wrong," as he says.

Why Cryptocurrencies Will Never Be Safe Havens / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Submissions
by Mark Spitznagel : Every further new high in the price of Bitcoin brings ever more claims that it is destined to become the preeminent safe haven investment of the modern age — the new gold.
But there’s no getting around the fact that Bitcoin is essentially a speculative investment in a new technology, specifically the blockchain. Think of the blockchain, very basically, as layers of independent electronic security that encapsulate a cryptocurrency and keep it frozen in time and space — like layers of amber around a fly. This is what makes a cryptocurrency “crypto.”

By: Jeff_Berwick
It has been a year since I first heard the word “Steemit”.
Being involved in the world of cryptocurrencies I hear a lot of things on a daily basis. So much so that I really only have the time and energy to look into a small portion of the interesting things I hear about every day.

Here’s Why Russia Opens The Door To Cryptocurrencies / Currencies / BlockChain
By: John_Mauldin
Antonia Colibasanu : Russia has announced that it will legalize the use of cryptocurrencies. The government confirmed last week that a draft bill would create the legal framework for trading in bitcoin, dash, ether, and other digital currencies.
