Bitcoin Post-Capitalism, Fidelity Custody, Trillions or Die Trending

More exciting cryptocurrency news came out recently, Fidelity one of the worlds largest asset managers announced its going to be offering BTC and Ethereum products. Fidelity manages $2.4 trillion in assets so this news was huge.

Also they disclosed that they have been mining since 2015, this confirms a lot of my suspicions about the larger institutions accumulating. Clearly this market is being prepped up for another super cycle with headlines like this as catalysts.

It makes perfect sense for Bitcoin to trend towards trillion dollar market cap or higher, it will take maybe until 2020 to fulfill the prophecy but its signs are there.

I believe we are in for the next crypto super cycle and we will see some interesting decentralized applications come out of this.

Bitcoin Derivatives, CME Futures & Crypto as a Financial Instrument

CME just announced they are going to launch futures contracts for Bitcoin due to strong demand. CME is the largest exchange and this is a big step towards maturity of the Bitcoin market, most likely a lot of liquidity will flow into the futures and some large hedge players are going to make use of Bitcoin as a trading instrument.
