Cryptocurrencies 27.10.2017 : Ethereum’s Comeback Stalls at $300 (Again)

Prices rose above $340 earlier this month as the bitcoin rally carried the cryptocurrency market to near-record highs.
Ether has been in a perpetual state of decline against rival bitcoin for the better part of four months. The ETH/BTC cross currently trades at around 0.05. Ether has declined more than 60% against bitcoin since mid-June.

Tokens 2.0

Earlier this week, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin declared that 90% of tokens will fail. But rather than give a gloomy outlook, Buterin said the next phase of cryptocurrency startups will be better than ever.
He calls this phase, which will arrive sooner than you think, “Tokens 2.0.” Naturally, that means we are currently in “Tokens 1.0.”
Initial coin offerings (ICOs), the controversial crowdfunding model that is scaring the pants off regulators, have grown at a mind-numbing rate. Most of these ICOs are using Buterin’s network to launch their tokens. More than $2.3 billion has flowed into token crowdsales this year alone, dwarfing early-stage venture capital financing.
It’s uncertain exactly what “Tokens 2.0” will bring. Better ideas and more advanced technology are a given. The real question is the regulatory landscape that will underpin ICOs and cryptocurrency more generally. Nation-states are still feeling their way through this market and arriving at entirely different conclusions.

But if you are looking at Bitcoin long-term, this is more than just numbers now. Yes, Bitcoin did experience some explosive growth this month (and has been this entire year), but we shouldn’t let that distract us from some of the main components that will fuel Bitcoin’s growth in the long-term. Not only did the price break $6,000 per Bitcoin for the first time ever, we started to see Bitcoin’s market cap rate  surpass that of big banks such as Goldman Sachs ($93 billion) and Morgan Stanley ($89 billion) . While comparing the market capitalization of a cryptocurrency with that of publicly traded companies doesn’t make much financial sense, it’s entertaining to watch financial institutions stress out about Bitcoin. For example, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase Jamie Dimon  can’t stop talking  about Bitcoin and venting h...
