Pop goes the weasel

and monthly dividends paid in Tungstencoin

 Nice bit of consolidation around $14,800 currently.

There must be a pump on Reddit Gold. 

Bitserve:   I hope your heirs know to dig (and where). 

Consistent higher lows on the daily. This is the dip.  Badger is going to punch everyone’s lights out in February.  

If you must dabble in alts, go chase pumps with lunch money.  

Not going to happen.  You will always have a way of redeeming legacy addresses. Core takes backwards compatibility very seriously.  

The alt market is here to stay - there is no putting the genie back into the bottle. But Bitcoin continues to have the strongest dev teams of all coins.  That makes its incumbent position almost impossible to overcome with features such as Lightning, Rootstock, Schorr, Dandelion etc.  And when the first Bitcoin ETF is announced, that will be the fuel-air bomb that sucks the oxygen from the alts bunker.   

Ether on a pump will retake #2 spot from cRipple soon

Oh where oh where have all the cRipple shills gone?

Segwit by default rather than Segwit only should be sufficient

Trying to trade these markets is like trying to trade a wet noodle.  The only volume is 2 bots fighting over $10.

Bitfinex down



Edit:  will be back up 15 - 30 minutes .....

Nice to see the arse fall out of Bitstamp on the news. 

Thanks for the heads up.  New rule:  need to have an outgoing transaction by midnight UTC.  

There are a number of B2X claim tools which are currently circulating which are scams.  Be careful out there. 

Name a bank using Ripple that is more than just a pilot.  

You can’t because there aren’t any.  They have had five years.  And the only thing they have achieved is scores of failed pilots. No one in the banking world gives two hoots about Ripple.

Cardano is a threat to Ethereum.  It is a smart contract platform.  Ethereum uses Solidity as its programming language.  Solidity is immature as a language and potentially quite dangerous due to poorly understood behavior.  Cardano uses Haskell which is a mature programming language.  I don’t know enough about Haskell to comment further.  

Bottom hasn’t fallen out of XRP yet.  It still rising on the 6 hour chart but the heat has gone out of it for the moment.  

Bcash in danger of falling into fifth place.  Cardano rising hard. 

Ripple quite soft on the 6 hour chart.

The threat level hasn’t changed. It’s just good honest whale fun.  

I have decided that I will have two price forecasts.  My first price forecast is for 2021.  My second price forecast is for 5 minutes into the future, and only under certain conditions.  I claim no knowledge for the intervening period.
