Bitcoin News

Hello again. It has been a while.


Cryptocurrencies dealt blow with Ban in China in September sparking a sell off. However, Bitcoin quickly rebounded from a low of ~2,800 shortly after.

Ethereum undergoes Byzantium hard fork, but struggles to advance against USD. Continues to trade ~$300.

Bitcoin owners received a nice forking dividend from Bitcoin Cash (BCC) (soon to have Bitcoin Gold and two others coming later this year). Don't worry about BTC Forks, just sit back and enjoy the dividend, but not with Coinbase.  It is true that Coinbase simplifies owning digital currencies, but Bitcoin forks, they hold the forking Currency. If you have any questions about BTC Forks, you may tweet me @bitfuturist

IBM teams up with Stellar.

AMD crushes Q2 ER (earnings report), continues to stay humble on its GPU sales (despite the cryptocurrency mining boom), and moderately lowers guidance. When asked about AMD's reasoning behind lowing guidance, AMD's response was that seasonality points to a lower Q3. 

Overstock gets into digital currencies with its own called tØ and plans its ICO for November 2017 (November 15 - December 15). $OSTK has launched. 52 week range: $13 - $43

Check back tomorrow, hopefully I will have a better one up haha.

Bitcoin Basics

Bitcoin Lets go over some of the basics about bitcoin. Cryptocurrency vs Altcoins . The only difference is that cryptocurrency covers all digital currency (Bitcoin and altcoins), while altcoins are alternatives to Bitcoin. Blockchain is a digital ledger where transactions for cryptocurrencies are publicly recorded. The blockchain is stored on nodes, that verify transactions. Bitcoin Mining  sounds intense, but only for the computer. When a computer is "mining" it is racing against other miners on the network to solve a mathematical equation and seal the current block. Cryptocurrencies are digital assets that can be bought, sold, traded, transferred (etc) digitally. The network for cryptocurrencies is virtually impossible to hack/manipulate since a dishonest group would have to take control of 51% of the network. The network is huge. Bitoin's network is in exohash sphere. Similar to precious metals, cryptocurrencies can be broken down into smalle...

Bubbles: Cryptocurrencies, Dotcom, Tulips, USD

There are a few things that we need to look at when comparing cryptocurrencies to bubbles. First, supply and demand. Second, the market. Third, value of money. The cryptocurrency bubble and the tulip bubble have some similarities, as well as some differences. When farmers see the price of crop A increasing dramatically, they have some choices. Ignore the price rise and continue to grow crop B, losing out on the potential gain in income, which some will do. This has no affect on crop A. If they are already growing crop A, then they will be able reinvest excess profits and grow more of their cash crop, crop A. This increases supply of crop A. If they are growing any other crop, and see a price rise in crop A, they will have an incentive to shift from their current crop at the end of the season, and grow a crop that will bring in more revenue (crop A). Increasing supply of crop A. However, increasing the supply of crop A won't happen over night, as crops take months to grow. As c...

$AMD and $NVDA

Market analysts seem to be seeing only what they want to see when it comes to cryptocurrency mining and GPU demand. When the GPU mining craze started to boom in May, causing a shortage in AMD and NVDA GPUs, analysts were quick to say that it is just a short term craze. When the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum started to fall, they said that there would be a mass selling of GPUs on the second hand market. Ethereum fell about 50% in a few months from a high of .14 BTC ($400) to a low of .069 BTC ($163). Since May, there has been and continues to be a shortage of AMD Radeon RX 470/480/570/580. Even RX 460s and 560s are some what hard to find. The AMD Radeon RX 580 is the best for mining Ethereum. The higher end GPUs (of AMD, since they are better for Ethereum) can work at 25-35 MH/s 1,000 MH/s equals 1 GH/s 1,000 GH/s equals 1 TH/s On June 16, 2017, Ethereum's network was 45.7 TH/s. Today, its network hashrate is 81.9 TH/s One analyst mentioned that trans...
