Someone ask me on Quora: How do I start investing in crypto currency smartly? Is it too late to start? My Reply: The best was probably in 2011. But you are not too far behind. I can say entering while the weak hands are exiting is a perfect time. The market is red, everyone is panicking. I'll suggest you start with Bitcoin. The reason is not farfetched. It is the first and the most secured cryptocurrency there is. Concerning investing smartly, well continue to ask questions from people who have been there, done it make mistakes and learnt vital lessons along the way.

Crypto Skeptic Paul Krugman Says Bitcoin (BTC) Has More Utility Than Gold

-
Image
Vocal cryptocurrency skeptic Paul Krugman is offering a more complete picture of his views on Bitcoin and blockchain. At ChainXChange, a recent blockchain conference in Las Vegas, Krugman joined Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee and Ripple’s chief marketing strategist Cory Johnson on a panel focused on the future of money. From the start, Krugman admitted he hasn’t looked at the entire cryptocurrency industry at large, and has instead focused on trying to learn how Bitcoin works. “Bitcoin is the only one I halfway understand,” Krugman said, reports Nulltx. Krugman then admitted that despite his concern that Bitcoin mining uses a lot of energy, the leading cryptocurrency already has more utility than gold. Gold is dead… Bitcoin has more utility than gold. There is some chance for Bitcoin to be valuable in the future.” When comparing Bitcoin’s utility compared to fiat, Krugman says his major issue is the cost of transactions used to transfer BTC. He believes if those fees were...

Despite its 70% Price Drop, Bitcoin Surpassed Gold in Settlement Volume

-

Nic Carter, is a highly respected cryptocurrency researcher. He recently stated that Bitcoin has eventually surpassed the OTC gold market most especially in terms of settlement volumes, undermining the 70 percent fall in its price. In accordance to the clearing statistics of the London bullion market (LBMA), about five major clearing members of the LPMCL which includes HSBC, ICBC Standard Bank, Scotiabank, JP Morgan, and UBS, the global gold over-the-counter (OTC) market is now on track to settle about $446 billion in 2018, after it had settled just less than $30 billion on a monthly basis ever since January. Carter explained: “I’m conservatively estimating the London OTC market for gold, overseen by the LBMA, at 70% of global volumes. They publish clearing statistics. With these I can estimate the total net volume of regulated gold settlement at $446b for 2018 (based on 6 months of data). Conservatively, (adjusted estimates), Bitcoin has settled about $848b this year, an...

Part 4. It's July 1998, and we have reached the business end of the World Cup in France. France square it against current defending champion Brazil. Everyone knew what dangers posed by the Samba boys. It's not a fluke this nation has 4 winners medal to their name. And besides they had the deadliest attacker in the game, Ronaldo De Lima. In a charged arena, finally the whistle went for kick off. The French were on the attack from start to finish and they won their first trophy. Two goals from Zinedan Zidane and a third from Emmanuel Petit secured victory. Now why am I telling you this story? What's all this have to do with succeeding in business and life. Yes, hard working France won, big deal! They won their second trophy last year, what's the point? Yes, France won that trophy but its not that victory which is so important. It's the news that later emerged about how they won. In 2018 former UEFA president, Michel Platini, revealed how they ...

When the game is rigged: The Secret Formula

Part 3: Studies shows that it's neither the best products that sell the most nor the best boxer which wins every bout. Yes, hard work, persistence, perseverance, a fiery passion and an impeccable altitude are all factors of success but then there is something more. A secret formula which can turn everything, even a sows ear into a silk purse. Every champion knows that despite the fact that they got themselves to the edge of glory relying on being dogged and long suffering, real success wasn't achieved until they discovered the little piece of rare magic that transformed their efforts into victory. An African adage says...that thing which the Elder are using to eat their pudding is under the leaf wrappings... And they also say...If a child knows how to clean his hands, then he would eat with the Elders.... True victory can only come if you have discovered that the games of wealth are rigged and you would need an 'Elder' who deem you clean enough to '...

Bitcoin, Crypto and Banks: Economist Says It’s the End of Government Monopoly on Money

-

Jeffrey Tucker, economist and editorial director for the American Institute for Economic Research, is calling out banking elites and governments for their long-standing monopoly on money, which has led to “world wars, depression and inflation, enormous government indebtedness, and the rise of leviathan states that learned to print their way to power and riches.” In a recent report, Tucker advises central banks and governments to stop meddling in the world of crypto — where they’re not wanted, not qualified and not going to succeed. But banks are hardly lying down and rolling over. They’re lining up solutions to kick Bitcoin and crypto to the curb, challenging the fintech startups that are vying to take away their monopoly and world dominance. Tucker addresses their central scheme to stop the competition: issue their own digital currencies. But a government-backed, central bank-branded coin would have nation-state borders and would live on a permissioned blockchain. It would ...
