Thanks for checking it out, roslinpl.

Thanks for the kind words, laksmib. As for the litecoin chart, I chose to relocate to Sofia, Bulgaria because that is where BTC-e is located (BTC-e does the biggest volume of transactions of LTC), but if we're only taking transits and progressions between planets into account, birth location isn't necessary.

The unexpected rise in the price of Bitcoin over the past year has made many of us regret not having backed up the truck when we had the chance to do so. The many stories of early adopters becoming millionaires practically overnight have left us with haunting images of what might have been had we paid just a bit more attention to this upstart currency while it was still flying under the radar.

Fortunately for us all, the unprecedented success of Bitcoin has led to the creation of hundreds of alternative cryptocurrencies; some touting improvements on security, others boasting of faster confirmation times, and a few others getting by on sheer novelty alone. But all of these altcoins have one thing in common; they all want to replicate Bitcoin's astounding success. And the market has responded positively to many of these cryptocoins, leading to the establishment of several exchanges where all sorts of trading pairs are transacted 24/7.

Many of these alternative cryptocurrencies have already realized mind-boggling gains of hundreds, if not thousands, of times their worth upon inception, and many more of these coins are coming into market on a continuous basis, waiting for their turn to experience tremendous boosts in their market capitalizations. Needless to say, money is being made hand over fist by many savvy traders in these exchanges.

This opportunity to profit massively from a burgeoning industry is not without its challenges, though. With over 200 altcoins already in existence and many more being created on a daily basis, tracking market-moving news across all these currencies becomes a herculean task. Many who are overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of choices available in cryptocoins turn to chat boxes for guidance and, more than likely, end up becoming bagholders. A few get by focusing and doing their due diligence on a handful of promising currencies, but they run the risk of missing out on potential profits to be had from coins not on their favorites list. If only there were a way to tell in advance when positive market movements for 200+ cryptocurrencies are most likely to happen, imagine the windfall one could make from that information.

The good news is that I may have found a way to do just that.

Late last year, I was commissioned by a client to figure out if it was possible using astrology to time the price upswings of a number of cryptocurrencies he was interested in. He used my findings to his advantage and raked in a bundle. I have organized this research into fifteen case studies of cryptocurrencies and the (as it turns out, very appropriate) planetary symbolism present at the time they experienced significant increases in price. Based on these findings, I calculated the periods of time similar planetary symbolism would manifest for 205 cryptocurrencies for the year 2014. You will find all these information in Profitable Cryptocurrency Trading Using Astrological Techniques, a 300+ page ebook that I sincerely hope will aid cryptocurrency traders in maximizing their profits.

J.P. Morgan may have been evil incarnate himself, but that shouldn't get in the way of appropriating the tools he used for more benign purposes.

Just posted an astrological analysis of the days leading up to Litecoin hitting its ATH:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148077.msg4746413#msg4746413

On November 25, 2013, the Litecoin price began a climb that peaked at an ATH of 0.05199 BTC three days later.



Looking at the quotidian charts for that day turned up a doozy of appropriate planetary symbolism. Focusing first on the solar quotidian:



The inner wheel is the Litecoin solar return chart, progressed to November 25, 2013, 5 am PDT (12 pm UT). The middle wheel is the Litecoin natal chart. The outer wheel is the transit chart for November 25, 2013, 12 pm UT. All charts have been drawn for Union City, CA.

As can be seen from the chart, progressed solar return Moon (inner wheel) has come into partile opposition with natal LTC Jupiter (middle wheel). Moon/Jupiter contacts often herald moments of triumph and success.

Turning our attention to the converse natal quotidian:



The inner wheel is the Litecoin natal chart, converse progressed to November 25, 2013, 12 pm UT. The middle wheel is the Litecoin natal chart. The outer wheel is the converse transit chart for November 25, 2013, 12 pm UT.

We again see a Moon/Jupiter contact, specifically converse transiting Jupiter (outer wheel) partile conjunct natal LTC Moon (middle wheel).

When planetary pairings repeat themselves over two or more charts, it often signifies an out-of-the-ordinary event, the nature of which is indicated by the symbolism attached to the planetary combination involved. IMHO, a double-whammy of Moon/Jupiter is very appropriate for the days leading up to Litecoin reaching its ATH.

Thanks for the kind words, uranian. Life's been keeping me busy as of late. I'm working on my next post at the moment, will probably post in a couple of days. 

Going back a bit further to April 10, 2013, we saw Bitcoin hit a new high of $266 before falling to $105 and then bouncing back to $130. This was in the aftermath of the Cyprus debacle.



Looking at the quotidian charts for that day turned up no appropriate planetary symbolism. That is, until I checked out the converse natal quotidian:



The inner wheel is the Bitcoin natal chart, converse progressed to April 10, 2013, 12 pm UT. The middle wheel is the Bitcoin natal chart. The outer wheel is the converse transit chart for April 10, 2013, 12 pm UT. Again, all charts have been relocated to Mt. Gox headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.

As can be seen from the chart, converse transiting Uranus came into partile conjunction with converse progressed natal BTC Descendant. If there is one word that can best describe the Uranian essence, it is "upheaval". The angles (Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and Imum Coeli) are understood to be extensions of the identity of the subject. Having transiting Uranus cross a quotidian angle at the same time BTC experienced one of its most volatile periods is, to me, a remarkable concurrence.

Also telling is converse transiting Jupiter (in partile conjunction with converse transiting Mercury and converse transiting Mars) partile square to natal BTC Pluto, but already moving away from exact. Reinhold Ebertin had this to say about Jupiter/Pluto contacts:


Mercury in the mix suggested the configuration had something to do with commerce, finance or currency. Mars in combination with Jupiter is the "money-to-burn impulse", which hints at massive profit-taking being a reason for the sharp decline in price after reaching a peak. Mars/Pluto points to:


Also, converse transiting Pluto was moving into an exact square with natal BTC Uranus. As per Ebertin, Uranus/Pluto denotes:


As it played out, the price of BTC surged as people turned to the fledging cryptocurrency in hopes of preserving their wealth amid the very real threat of bail-ins. Although the price fell drastically from its peak at the time, it nevertheless burned into the public consciousness that here was a viable alternative to the status quo that was, slowly but surely, bleeding people dry of their savings.

A brief word about converse charts. Converse transits can be justified in principle on the idea advanced by quantum physics that time flows equally in more than one direction. A number of respected astrologers, including Alexander Marr and Roy Firebrace, have done extensive work with converse charts and have shown this approach to be just as effective as the regular methods. But why resort to converse transits when the traditional ones work just as well? In my experience, there are cases where appropriate planetary symbolism for events only turn up when converse techniques are used. So, to play it safe, when running charts for clients, I make it a practice to look both ways so as not to miss anything.

It wasn't the intent of my post to show future movements in BTC price. As I stated in my post, I only intended to show that a series of events involving BTC in the recent past showed appropriate planetary symbolism for the events in question. In order to have a sense of what's in store for us in the future, isn't it worthwhile to look back and see how planetary symbolism matches up with recorded history? Our understanding of how planets singly or in combination with one another relate to the nature of forces that shape events is only increased by studying the past and will only serve to make our efforts at prognostication a bit more successful.

I plan to post something interesting I discovered while looking at the upcoming Grand Cross of April 2014 and how I think it may impact BTC. But I'll need to draw up the charts for this first, so it may take a few days before I get to do this.

Good day to everyone on this thread. A tip of the hat to Otoh, who managed to get an excellent discussion going that combines two of my favorite things in this world: Bitcoin and astrology.

I do astrology readings on the side. Been doing this for more than a decade now. It is an activity that appeals to both hemispheres of my brain and gives me extra benjamins to put into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

What I want to do is contribute to this thread a few experiences I have had with clients who frequently ask me about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Whenever possible, I will provide charts to make it easy to see what I'm talking about.



Bitcoin hit a peak price of $1242.00 on Mt. Gox on November 29, 2013. Shortly after the event, a client asked me to check if charts for that day had appropriate planetary symbolism for the event. I drew up a quotidian (progressed) chart for 12 pm UT of that day:



The inner wheel is the BTC solar return, dated January 3, 2013, 6:53:39 pm UT, progressed to November 29, 2013, 12 pm UT. The middle wheel is the BTC natal chart, dated January 3, 2009, 6:15:05 pm UT. The outer wheel is the transit chart for November 29, 2013, 12 pm UT. All charts have been relocated to Tokyo, Japan, where Mt. Gox is headquartered.

As can be seen from the chart, transiting Uranus came into partile (within one degree) opposition to progressed solar return BTC Moon, which hinted at a refreshing change. This transit took on special meaning because it was foreshadowed by solar return BTC Uranus partile conjunct natal BTC Moon. A double whammy of Moon/Uranus meant a doubly pleasant surprise was in the works. Simultaneous to this, transiting Sun came into partile opposition to solar return BTC Jupiter, which pointed to a celebratory mood.



Five days later, on December 5, 2013, on news that People's Bank of China had banned financial companies from Bitcoin transactions, the BTC price started a free-fall which culminated two days later to close at just below $700.



Looking at the quotidian chart for 12 pm UT of December 5, 2013, progressed solar return BTC Saturn had just crossed the progressed BTC Ascendant. When Saturn makes contact with an angle, it often presages a bad day for the subject.



On December 16, 2013, after days of fluctuating between $800 and $1000, the BTC price took another hit on speculation that the People's Bank of China had issued a new ban on third-party payment processors from doing business with Bitcoin exchanges.



The quotidian chart for 12 pm UT of December 16, 2013 shows transiting Saturn had just crossed the progressed BTC Ascendant. Another bad news day.

I have many more readings to share with the forum. I will post these on this thread over the next few days as time allows.

Perhaps. But with an out-of-control Fed bound to answer for its excesses sooner rather than later, I'll give it till the end of the year for this to happen.

Hate stems from feeling threatened by something different. Just being dissimilar in race, gender, religion or sexual preference is enough to fan the flames of hatred in many people. Why should the world of cryptocurrencies be any different? 

I applaud your efforts and look forward to reading about your experiences in living off of BTC for an entire month. Cheers! 

You can spring for your own rig or pay others to do the mining for you by purchasing mining shares. Both have their respective pros and cons. Others more knowledgeable than me have written tons of stuff about this on the forum, just do a search and you'll get all the info you'll need to proceed.

Glad to have you on board. Devs are always welcome here on the forum. Your work in making Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies more accessible to the masses is what will ensure our success in the long run. Cheers! 

There are many ways to accumulate Bitcoin. One can mine them, receive them free courtesy of giveaways, offer good and services in exchange for them, gamble what little you have in hopes of winning more (not recommended, though), and get into alternate cryptocurrencies by mining and/or trading them and eventually exchange them for BTC. This forum has all the info you need to get started on building up your BTC holdings. Happy reading!  

PayPal and BTC go together like oil and water. Simple as that. I pray for the day, though, that PayPal adopts BTC. When that happens, watch as both of their fortunes soar. 

Don't worry, it'll be four hours before you know it. In the meantime, peruse the wealth of info here on the forum. Cheers!
