market overview: 9.oct.2017 Bitcoin & Ripple

Let’s Fork this thing
The crypto-markets have put up a very impressive weekend indeed. With Bitcoin breaking above $4600 and Ethereum fighting hard to hold at $300.
One of the main reasons for the rally is likely due to the upcoming hard fork in Bitcoin that’s happening on October 25th. Similar to the Bitcoin Cash hard fork, Bitcoin Gold will give everybody who is holding bitcoin something for nothing.
What that something will be remains to be seen. With the Bitcoin Cash hard fork, which created $10 Billion worth of value out of thin air, still fresh in investors minds many are currently shifting their digital assets to take advantage of the new craze.
Please note: This hard fork has nothing to do with the contentious SegWit2x hard fork planned for November.

Ripple Conference

The superstar of growth has been Ripple.
In one week from today Ripple will hold their first-ever annual conference called SWELL. Speaking at the event will be two of the world’s most famous innovators. Tim Berners-Lee is largely known as the inventor of the Internet and Ben Bernanke the father of Quantitative Easing.

XRP has gone from 20 cents per XRP token last Wednesday to 27 cents this morning (blue circle).
Wishing you an amazing week ahead!

Analysis 23.10.2017 : Notable Bitcoin Price Growth Events in October

  October has been an interesting month for Bitcoin, with growth of about 40% so far, breaking a market cap of over $101,881,681,652. 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...

Bitcoin 21.10.2017: Bitcoin Hits $100 Billion as Record Rally Continues

Bitcoin’s epic rally intensified Friday, as the token reached $6,000 for the first time in its history, bringing the total market value above $100 billion. Bitcoin’s Fresh Intraday High BTC/USD touched an intraday high of $6,064.14, bringing its total market cap to $100.8 billion. That’s roughly $85 billion higher than where the market started in January. At press time, bitcoin was trading around $5,993, up more than 5% on the day. From a technical perspective, the digital currency is considered overbought. However, the technicals are typically less reliable during extreme price movements like we’ve seen in recent weeks. The world’s leading cryptocurrency has added a staggering 520% this year. Bitcoin’s rally didn’t really extend to other cryptocurrencies Friday. Ethereum continued to trade just north of $300, while Ripple (XRP) consolidated a hair below 21 U.S. cents. The cryptocurrency market’s combined market cap is roughly $173.4 billion, which is roug...
