Bitcoin Might Bottom to $5,000 Before Springing All the Way to $50,000

-
Back in July, when Bitcoin was trading around $7,500 and the price was climbing, Arthur Hayes, co-founder and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, predicted Bitcoin could continue to drop. He marked $5,000 as a possible bottom, before a big market rally could propel Bitcoin to an astonishing new all-time high of $50,000 by the end of the year.
While Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market as a whole is searching for widespread adoption and critical developments tackling security flaws and solving scalability issues, Hayes made his assessment based on market behavior. In a July interview with CNBC, he explained why he believes the summer months and a financial world of globe-trotting vacationers is at play. His expectation: the markets will heat up in Q3 and Q4.
Hayes is a former equity derivatives trader and market-maker for Deutsche Bank and Citibank’s Exchange Traded Funds (ETF). He co-founded Hong Kong-based BitMEX in 2014. The exchange is now valued at $3.6 billion on a daily trading volume of roughly $2 billion. It has become “the most liquid crypto-coin trading platform” in the world by offering up to 100x leverage trading and Bitcoin derivatives trading – without any participation from US residents, who can’t trade on BitMEX.
BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo, Britain’s first crypto billionaire, has also said that Bitcoin’s volatility is what allows it to soar.

From 2013 to 2015, Bitcoin dropped from $1,200 to $200 but from 2015 to 2017, it also increased from $200 to its all-time high of $20,000.
For traders who have been investing in Bitcoin for several years, the recent price decline from $8,260 on July 24 to as low as $6,097 today, according to WorldCoinIndex, isn’t a signal of the end of Bitcoin. It’s a sign of increased volatility and an indicator that Bitcoin may rebound and go much higher than its previous all-time high.

But for investors without a billion-dollar cushion to weather the downturn, the market is bleak and its wildly unpredictable nature is threatening.
Delo, who agrees with Hayes’s prediction, says the high of $50,000 is predicated on an SEC-approved Bitcoin ETF.

Three Reasons why Bitcoin is Programmed to Pump

I saw an article online and it was well articulated about Bitcoin being programmed to pump. I made a video about it. Highlighting the view of the writer. Despite non-stop criticism, obituaries, and competition from altcoins, Bitcoin has undeniable advantages — ensuring that its value will keep rising for decades to come. It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Satoshi Nakamoto, 1/17/2009 Here are the reasons 1. The Hard Supply Cap 2. No One is in Control 3. The Lindy Effect

When the Game is Rigged, you don't have to Play by the Rules

When the game is rigged, you don't have to play by the rules. Since the start of time, powerful empires have risen through history. And the one major prerequisites for glory and power had always been a standard financial system. Be it Ancient Egyptian or Babylonia or even recently Rome, wealth have been the driving force that spurred these empires forward. They could command great armies, buy Calvary and acquire the state of the art technology that gave them an edge in produc tion, industrialization and warfare. Not taking anything away from the industriousness of these empires, a spark that ensured they stayed in power is they knew something other nations didn't. They knew that the game of wealth was rigged and you need not play by the general rules to win. Of course they preached about the real 'rules' of the game but then they played by the rigged rules that ensured their victory. That pattern has been carried into modern empires of America and China. ...

Gibraltar United to Pay Its Players in Cryptocurrency Gibraltar United F.C., a team founded in 1943 and currently playing in the Gibraltar Football League’s Premier Division, has decided to introduce cryptocurrency salary payments for its players. The club reportedly secured a sponsorship partnership with the help of the owner, Pablo Dana, an investor in the Quantocoin ICO. The owner explained that a “preoccupation with transparency” prompted the introduction of cryptocurrency to Gibraltar United, predicting that the technology’s open-access nature could curtail the “corruption scandals that have plagued football.” It has also reportedly given his club an easy way to help foreign players who have difficulty setting up bank accounts in the British Overseas Territory. https://news.bitcoin.com/football-team-in-gibraltar-to-pay-its-players-in-cryptocurrency/
