    I love how btc is shaking up the industry and banks are now scrambling to either get with the program or defaming it as just a fad.

    Agreed. There's a lot of FUD being spread around.

    Think pyramid - there is no real product that drives the price. It is purely based on speculation that more and more people (downline) will join the craze.

    Think money laundering - who would like to put a large sum into the system that cannot be traced or regulated?

    My 2 centavos bitcoin.

    The transactions are actually quite traceable as everything is recorded on the blockchain. What challenges law enforcement is the anonymity factor of those involved in the transaction.

    So forensics are now looking into better ways to catch criminals using cryptocurrencies. Even the admin of Silk Road was eventually caught through his IP address.

    That's nice. Looks like it will be some time before the hype dies down and cryptos stabilize.

    Crypto will make forex so much easier. I will no longer need to go to a bank, wait in line to convert my peso to whatever currency I need when going on a trip.

    The best advice in crypto is don’t put in money you can’t afford to lose.

    think of bitcoin as any other asset

    like stocks, real estate etc

    you're buying it coz you think the price will go up

    everybody's in it for capital gains

    like i said, for now, it's a speculative asset

    it's not a currency

    it's not a currency until your grandmother is buying groceries with it

    You can just call your branch manager in the morning and order the currency and amount then get it in the afternoon.

    True. But crypto can cut out the bank as a middle man.

    though btc price is around all time high right now, the price has stalled

    those thousand-dollar rallies we saw last week didn't carry over to this week

    quite a coincidence coz futures trading started sunday

    seems like futures trading has tamed bitcoin

    for now

    The charts show that when the price stalls after a dip, it typically rallies upwards. The correction doesn't follow the same pattern tho, as it typically follows an Elliot Wave, where a clear apex is seen.

    Not an expert here but just noting observations.

    considering how fast bitcoin can rally $1000 (days --> hours --> minutes) it's been 3 days and we haven't seen $20,000

    that's an eternity

    price of bitcoin futures is 1000+ dollars more than the actual price of bitcoin (spot)

    a gap that big doesn't usually happen in the futures market

    coz it's a screaming arbitrage opportunity

    traders would pile in

    buy the underlying asset and sell futures to profit from the gap

    as more traders do the same, the gap closes

    but it's not happening in bitcoin

    seems traders are reluctant

    why?

    something's holding them back
