THE RISE & FALL OF BITCOIN - A Commodity & Store Of Value Of The Future?

THE RISE & FALL OF BITCOIN - A Commodity & Store Of Value Of The Future? Bitcoin went into freefall on Friday, its price collapsing from the dizzying heights of nearly $20,000 (£14,965) earlier this week to about $13,000 after its year-end rally appeared to run out of steam. According to the CoinDesk exchange, the cryptocurrency was trading at $13,155, a fall of over 30% in five days. Its price has fallen by more than $2,000 in 12 hours. It came after a troubled week for bitcoin, in which a cryptocurrency exchange went bust in South Korea following a cyberattack, knocking its price. Coinbase, another exchange based in the US, also said it was opening an investigation into sharp price increases. Neil Wilson, a senior market analyst at ETX Capital, said: “Has the bubble finally popped? It’s hard to see the bell tolling just yet. Large price swings have become so normal that it’s hard to decide – we can easily see this market bounce back in very short order. “Whilst there have been some hacks, public infighting in the mining community, lots of rumoured forks and regulatory pressure building on some fronts, this is likely to be a simple bout of risk-off selling as investors rebalance towards year-end. “It looks like it’s time to cash in the gains and spend the winnings on a bumper Christmas.” The creator of one of the largest alternative cryptocurrencies has exited his entire stake in the digital currency, citing a Charlie Lee announced in a Reddit post on Wednesday that he had "sold and donated" all of his litecoin holdings over recent days. He said the move was motivated by criticism from people that he was trying to influence the price of litecoin with his tweets. Lee wrote: "Whenever I tweet about Litecoin price or even just good or bad news, I get accused of doing it for personal benefit. Some people even think I short LTC! So in a sense, it is of interest for me to hold LTC and tweet about it because I have so much influence." "Litecoin has been very good for me financially, so I am well off enough that I no longer need to tie my financial success to Litecoin’s success," Lee said in his Reddit post. As per CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index, the cryptocurrency was last seen trading at $17,000, down from the record high of $19,783 set on Dec. 17. Overall, bitcoin has depreciated by 4 percent in the last 24 hours, according to data source CoinMarketCap, but it's perhaps the movement behind that figure that's most notable. Bitcoin's 24-hour trading volume has jumped above $19 billion – its highest since Dec. 8. The high volume sell-off indicates strong hands are at play and price weakness could extend over the coming weekend. Apparently driving the price drop is the rotation of money out of bitcoin (BTC) and into alternatives such as bitcoin cash (BCH) – as shown by the massive gains in the BCH/BTC pair in the run-up to Coinbase's decision to list the cryptocurrency on its exchange platform.

Coinbase began letting its users buy, sell, send and receive Bitcoin Cash on Tuesday in a surprise decision but has temporarily trade. Brian Armstrong responded that he had repeatedly his staff not to disclose its launch plans to family or friends or to trade in the digital asset themselves. BTC seems to have topped out near regulation $20,000 for the short-term. Banking giant Morgan Stanley has estimated that hedge funds invested a massive $2 billion in cryptocurrencies this year. According to Business Insider, the figure was released in a note entitled "Bitcoin Decoded" sent by Morgan Stanley to its clients this week. The investment bank further detailed that more than 100 crypto-related hedge funds have sprung up over the past six years, however 84 of the funds launched in 2017.That’s only likely to increase in 2018. Reports today suggest Goldman is preparing to trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies next year

“If you are an ordinary person, then you can prepare yourself for war by moving to the countryside and building a farm, but you must take guns with you, as the hordes of starving will be roaming. Also, even though the elite will have their safe havens and specialist shelters, they must be just as careful during the war as the ordinary civilians, because their shelters can still be compromised.”

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.” Major L L B Angus

The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.
The Rothschild Bros

"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.

This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.

By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."
