I won't say it looks like organic completely. Bitcoin market is still looking very volatile hence mostly driven by speculation. But we can say that the circle of investors have increased lot since 2017. We now have bigger market for Bitcoin. Hence longer and more consistent bull run seems possible from here. It also shows that price won't collapse easily like it did in 2018. But as the price increases, the number of newbies will again surge and we may see bubble forming somewhere around $25-30K in future.

So why do you think everyone should have access to Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is no longer poor people's money. Owning Bitcoin has become luxury in 2019. Even 100th fraction of Bitcoin cost $110 nowadays. With increased prices, fees is also sky-rocketing. You have to spend $2-3 atleast to send Bitcoins. No sane person would like to spend $2-3 everytime buying any goods or services. Under all these circumstances, utility of Bitcoin has now been limited to investment only. Now tell me how many poors invest money? They hardly able to fulfill their necessities, why would they invest in something like Bitcoin!
So I really don't see any dire need of introducing everyone to BTC.

Poor me, I switched all my Bitcoins into BNB when price was $9400. I  anticipated sharp decline thereafter but looks like whales have some other plans. Rather then fall in value, there was an increase of 15-20% in BTC value in last 2 days. Now I am in loss of 8% on my total crypto holdings.
We have seen in past that altcoins start pumping once Bitcoin pump becomes stable. After a dormant last day, BTC once again started growing. If this rally crosses $12,000 then I expect further fall in the value of altcoins. However, if it won't cross $12K then whales may switch to alts and we can see them growing instead.

I would like to make an unpopular opinion.
After Columbia match, I started believing that Argentina with such a bad tactical play won't even make to semifinals. However, after the match with Paraguay my opinion has changed completely. Now I believe Argentina can win Copa this year.
So what changed after Paraguay match? There are two things, positive things come up for Argentina:

1. Messi: He wasn't upset at all after the match like he becomes after most of the losses. I think goal (much needed) gave him confidence. Even in his speech after match, he said, "It would be crazy if Argentina disqualifies in group stages." He is not in the mood to lose at all. A confident Messi can turn any game in any circumstances on any day.

2. Team: So Argentina tried almost every combination on pitch in last two games, except trying Dybala. Out of all combinations, there is one which is really amazing. It includes Lauro Martinez and Sergio Aguero upfront. Messi in AMF position. Acuna, Parades and Lo Celso in midfield. Tagliafico, Otamendi, Pezzella and Casco at the back with Armani. Argentina tried something similar in second half against Paraguay and it made them completely different side until Scaloni substituted Lauro with Di Maria.

So others may not agree with me but I still believe Argentina can win 4 matches from here in row and lift the Copa trophy this time.

PS: Argentina winning match against Qatar alone will guarantee their spot in Quarters even if they finish third. They won't have to depend upon the result of match between Columbia vs Paraguay.

After the ban of Exchanges, P2P exchanges are doing good in India. Among all P2P, WazirX is clearly the best choice. It is very easy to buy/sell on WazirX.
Just deposit your Bitcoin in WazirX wallet, then sell it against USDT pair and finally sell USDT for INR on P2P. The volume is pretty fair. If your amount is below 20K INR, it will take 10-15 minutes maximum to clear all your order. If your amount is more than that then it might take little more than hour to completely fill your order.

There is a stock movement known as parabolic trend line. In such trend line, value of stock first increases at gradual pace but then value start increasing rapidly. In the end, a phase come where the value of stock increases so fast that it even doubles within a day until it reaches the top of parabola and start decreasing thereafter. Bitcoin has experienced 4 parabolic movements since its inception. It shows that FOMO is very common in bitcoin market. Whenever there is increase in prices, more and more buyers start entering market to buy until a neutral level reaches.
In other words you can say that the main reason of the increase is general market mechanism where more buyers are coming with the hope of further increase.

I don't think we will see any major correction. It may get settle at something around $10.2-10.5K before rising again. This growth isn't looking like bubble at all. There are still lots of buyers supporting the market. So I won't be surprised if we see support level around 14-15K by next week or two.
This bull run looks very different from the one of 2017. 2017 run was complimented by equivalent growth in almost of coins. Some shitcoins even rose 5-6 times. But this time Bitcoin is sole leader, it gives more credibility to run and we could hope it won't burst like last time.

It's not that easy.
Bull and Bear market movements you talking about are long-term trends. Long-term trends consist of several intermediate trends and thousands of minor trends.
At the time of investment, if we try to read charts we could predict minor and intermediate trends only. It is not possible to deduce long-term trends in advance generally.

I support Heisenberg_Hunder Merit Source Application for Indian board.
If anyone deserves to be Indian merit source, it has to be Heisenberg.

I don't believe so but when I see crypto investors in general, they constitute mostly of young inexperienced teen traders. Due to large number of such investors, FOMO and FUDs are much more common in crypto market than any other investment market.
On the top of that crypto markets are unregulated. Due to no regulation, malpractices are very common especially on decentralized exchanges.
So yeah even if we hate to accept but such articles do manipulate the actions of traders.

It happens sometime that a player doesn't get right position to play in one team but shines in other team while playing at preferred position. Paco Alcacer is classic case for the same. At Barcelona, due to the presence of Suarez it was impossible for Alcacer to play as CF. Other positions didn't suit him. Whereas Dembele IMO is very comfortable at Barcelona. He was stunning in first half of the season but regular injuries made him look bad on pitch.
Now coming to De Ligt. He has no problem of positioning. With Pique having max 1-2 seasons left in his bag, Barcelona needs a new regular starter at CB position. If De Ligt joins this season, he may not get start in every match but will surely become preferred CB from 2020-21 season.


Mike Beijen is the son of the agent of Frenkie. Barcelona signed him to play for B team, not so big news.
Aren't you aware of that Barcelona already made deal for Frenkie De Jong back in January?

Looks like Malinga added some salt and spices to the match.

I think the decision of ICC to make the format of World Cup like League backfired. ICC thought league format will make tournament more interesting and competitive but at international level no matter which sports is it, knockout format with group stages is always preferred due to huge difference in quality of international squads.
However, Bangladesh is trying its best to outperform big teams and it is quite exciting to watch that. They have beaten the teams like South Africa and West Indies and gave tough competition to Australia and NZ. Whereas Afghanistan disappointed very much.

PSG is awful choice if you are promising player. It may be perfect destination for proven players like Dani Alves or Angel Di Maria. But if you are Neymar or Mbappe or De Ligt, better play in England, Spain, Germany or Italy than playing among good for nothing teams in France. Ligue 1 is clearly one-team league. The second best team of the league is Lyon and just match the quality of squad, PSG is mile better. Hence, there isn't much exposure in France.
De Ligt has both required skills and time to be named among best defenders of all time. Going to PSG for just some extra money could affect his future in long term. It would be better if he plays for ManU or Barcelona. Considering the old age of Chiellini and Bonucci, even Juventus sounds good option.

It depends upon how you see Bitcoin. For most of the people Bitcoin is just another investment. We have seen in past that whenever such news come like Bitcoin ETF is about to launch, etc etc., prices of Bitcoin rise. So such associations do act as a catalyst for BTC prices. It isn't required that Libra will only impact the BTC prices when traded against it. As we know Crypto market is so sensitive to news that even few articles stating Libra's benefits for Bitcoin are enough to dynamise the BTC prices.

Europe? Premier League is the most famous football league all over the world. In Asia alone, there are over 100B viewers of football. With such a huge football audience worldwide, I think Sportsbet made a masterstroke by becoming official sponsor of Watford. This will standalone give Sportsbet edge over any other crypto betting site. The genuineness and trustworthiness have increased many folds.

This is what happened when Bitcoin crossed $10,000 for the very first time. It gradually rose from $10,000 to $12,000 over the course of 6 days and then boom! Over next two days i.e. 7-8th Dec, it rose from $12,000 to $17,000. So I won't be surprised if what you are saying actually happens.
One of the three basic assumptions of Technical Analysis states, 'History tends to repeat itself'. I would rather say it is the most important assumption of TA and on the basis of this assumption, a quick jump from $10K to $15K looks very much possible.

I don't think holding cryptocurrencies will become illegal ever. Buying and selling in the local market may become illegal but no government can control the movement of cryptocurrencies between wallets. Hence, banning the holding and transferring would literally contribute nothing.
So even a scenario comes where government pass any such bill (chances of which is very meager), no need to worry as one can still receive crypto in wallets and sell them on OTC Exchanges in International Markets.

Decentralized economy is nothing like communism, not even a single percent. Communism is a flawed concept. It promotes inefficiency as well as ineffectiveness. The sense of propriety lacks in communist society hence such economy can never grow, USSR is perfect example for this.
But decentralization is something much better than other forms of market. No one in today's date wanna controlled by other forces. As a bitcoin advocate, I can say that whether it's currency or any other commodity, if it is free from state's control, it is more accessible to public at large. However, decentralized economy do promotes inequality. It widens the gap between rich and poor. But as a common saying states: "Survival for the fittest". You need to grow on your own rather than waiting for support from government in the decentralized economy.
