The Genesis Blog - Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies and Why You're Missing Out

This is my genesis blogpost. Blockchain is gonna change the world and I'm here to explain you why, I'm a programmer, owner of a marketing/communication company, a financial market & cryptocurrency trader and educator. Welcome to my blog.

Bitcoin is an implementation of whats called a Blockchain, this is a decentralized database that can server as many things one of them being a value transfer like a payment :).

The keyword here is decentralization, unlike traditional FIAT currency like $USD or $EUR, Bitcoin ($BTC) has a limited supply of 21million and is not controlled by a central authority. It's network is secured by a global decentral network of people who contribute power to secure and encrypt the data so it remains valid. This makes sure the database can never be tampered with.

What people fail to realize though is these cryptocurrency networks (or Blockchain implementations aka Bitcoin & altcoins) have intrinsic value to exist and a known finite supply. When the 2008 crisis hit a lot of people lost trust in the banking system, the is the fundamental reason Blockchain technology exist of which Bitcoin is simply its inception. The genesis blocks contains a link to a news article about an approved bank bailout. Since it's original creator is still anonymous and can be anyone from a crazy Australian Dr. to NSA like governement agencies we just have to assume it was built with good intent and that it clearly fills a need for a decentralized way of transferring value.

Bitcoin/Blockchain/cryptocurrencies are the e-mail of money, e-mail server communicate with eachother through a written protocol and Blockchain allows for secure transfer of value without any middle man. In following blogs I will go further into markets and the true value of these tokens and coins.

Bitcoin testing lows, BitFinex premium panic buyers. SEC cracking down on ICO securities and DEX's

After a strong buying momentum move after Finex banking panic. It seems the market felt the best decision was to russle it. Majority of emotional participants are always attractive to manipulate. Meanwhile the SEC has truly cranked up actions against the unlawful ICO securities. Projects are slowly learning things go more smoothly when products are real and active instead of vaporware salesmen.

Bitcoin to $10,000 while Hedge Funds Flow In

Bitcoin reached prices close to $10,000 in anticipation of more regulated derivative product launches like the CME, the influx of institutional capital is at an all time high and OTC dealers should be running dry. Now where will this rally end? $10,000 has been a heavy promoted number by the larger players, usually this means their distribution is around those prices and possibly calling the target makes them credible in the future. At some point it becomes irrational to have any expectations of significant increases, smarter money will pull buy orders and the selling cascade that follows will initiate a full crash, till we see some clear reversal signals though the trend is still up. I think the public promotion of the $10,000 number though will have down pressure on the price, this will create all the more momentum.

Bitcoin mass adoption to the $trillions, Banks opening trading desks,

As I long expected, the Bitcoin market is exploding with instutional demands. OTC desks have reported to have demand from wealth funds and banks have started opening crypto-currency trading desks meaning they will start to provide liquidity to the market. This tells me that there's a very good chance that there have been huge OTC deals made with institutional players and that soon exchanges will show this in price. Currently the Bitcoin market cap sits around 1-200 billion and it is my belief that this is too low for the type of capital flow coming from the traditional financial world. I believe once we have priced in this adoption phase and we are trading in the trillions, Bitcoin will be a protective asset like Gold and it will takeover it's function as such. If you know anything about the Gold market you know there's a high correlation with foreign exchange pairs and that it has a very important role in how capital flows and is protected in times of uncertainty.
