Ethereum's Ascent

Ethereum continues pressing forward towards its all time high of about $390.

Current price is  ~$380 on Coinmarketcap while on Poloniex it is trading just north of $384

Shortly after hitting its previous all time high, it had about a 50% pull back.

Ethereum has stayed relatively stable against BTC since it's 50% pull back, but against USD, it has since been on a steady ascent.

Most altcoins have remained relatively stable against BTC, while appreciating against USD.

Monero (XMR) had quite the run trading at ~.013 BTC (08.19.2017) and hitting .035 BTC on 08.27.2017 Since then it has had a slight pull back and is currently trading ~.029 BTC

Ripple experienced quite the pump and dump as its creators gave some serious hype for guest speakers. This pump done by Ripple saw it trade from $.15 to $.29

Most of the trading has been seen from South Korea, according to data from Coinmarketcap.com

BITCOIN: Creative Destruction

If you haven't exchanged a form of fiat currency for bitcoin/alt-coin, then you basically have managed to sit on the sidelines during the coolest innovation of our times. The altcoin movement will be bigger than the change from horse pulled carriages to automobiles, mail to e-mail, dial-up to broadband... you get the point. Altcoins are a fabulous innovation that can cut transaction time from days to seconds.  These future currencies don't come without problems, the biggest being how unstable they can be, but that will change as people have less and less reasons to sell. Until then, this is true. At times, altcoins can seem to be driven by pump-and-dump traders; not investors or users. The volatility of these markets could make the strongest human bipolar.

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...

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...
