[Key Takeaways]

Key Takeaways

• We estimate the amount of cryptoasset market value needed to support economic activities to expand from ~$500B next year to $3.6T in 2028
• 90%+ of cryptoasset value will be derived from penetration of offshore deposits in the next decade
• Currency and Privacy networks will be the largest beneficiaries, as most fundamental value will stem from store of value use cases
• Upside (5-yr) In BTC ($96k), XMR ($18k), and DCR ($535), cryptoassets which apply unique value propositions within deep and viral markets
• Downside in BCH ($268), and cryptoassets which attempt to inherit brand recognition and provide minimal technological advantage to incumbents
• Little value in XRP ($0.01), and cryptoassets which are misleadingly marketed, not needed within their own network, and have centralized ownership/validation
• Most "Other Utility" application-specific networks hold very little value, in their current construct

I have no ideas what price will be. I dont really care much about that but while comparing last bitcoin cycle with this cycle (at least what we saw so far) I do believe bottom will happen in upcoming September.

This is start of last Bitcoin cycle in 2014                                                                                                                                         and this is what we have so far in this cycle:



You can notice that this cycle is a bit faster. Approximately by 40%.  Placing this factor to the other data of previous bitcoin cycle I got to month of current cycle bottom and that will happen in September.  Recovery should start in April 2019. 

So basically we will have almost a year of cheap Bitcoins. Cheapest you will ever get. Do not blew this lifetime chance. It is there for whole year.


And I got this two charts here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/8up21s/my_prediction_take_it_or_leave_it_trading_view/

Article is not in english, but here in Slovenia when they renovate old classical crossroads into roundabouts they usually place something in the middle. Some really unusual stuff like a boat or an old sleigh to pull logs from  the forest or a mammoth ( since was found there), ...

So now there will be in center of one a blockchain statue. This roundabout is in Kranj city where Bitstamp founders are from.   Oh and courthouse is just beside

https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/01/19/weiss-ratings-starts-grading-cryptocurrencies.html

As you see here tomorrow n 24th January is announced this ratting from https://www.weissratings.com/  that is highly reputable company that rates investments, stocks and companies.


What can we expect? Something like https://www.coingecko.com/en  ? Coingecko was my Nr1 crypto rating index so far.  Or we will get something totally new?   Who will get rate A beside Bitcoin? Who will get rate B?

2017 was 4th best year for Bitcoin after 2010, 2013 and 2011.   You see all beside year 2014 were positive.

2010 $0.003  +10000%
2011 $0.3        +1566%
2012 $5            +160%
2013 $13         +5823%
2014 $770           -59%
2015 $316          +36%
2016 $430        +128%
2017 $980      +1286%
2018 $13585

Deadpool explains Monero

[300m+]

Since year is coming to an end I will most likely do same as did last year.  Found the most profitable Crypto coin.  
As you see 2016 winner was Monero: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1732516.msg17335446#msg17335446

This year i expanded number of coins a bit. List is already final. I took top200 that existed on 1st January 2017 and are listed on one of top exchanges ( Poloniex, Bittrex, Kraken, ...)  and had at least $10 millions volume last month. I also put them in two groups. <$300m volume and $10m-$300m volume. So Whales, Wall street and Rothschilds can ignore last group.

I hardly wait to see who will win.  I see NEO on top on many listings. But usually rare lists are this big.

In 2014 coins that was speculated to add to Mintpal was pumped and after adding dumped.  
In 2015 when Poloniex become an elite exchange coins that was speculated to be added to Poloniex were pumped and dumped after they got added. Infamous Polo trollbox added big part to it.
In 2016 coins that were speculated to be partnered with Azure were pumped and dumped.   Latter was known that all you need to do to partner with Azure was send them an email.

So now we are in 2017 and we have two pump events.

Palm Beach Confidential pump group vs McAfee pump guy.

So who can pump coin more?

Will in a week time when we will hit $20.000 anyone care we just hit $15.000?

Will the 2017 year be the second best year for Bitcoin and better then the 2011?



Price of the Bitcoin and the yearly gains:

2011 $0.3 +1566%
2012 $5    +160%
2013 $13  +5823%
2014 $770    -59%
2015 $316   +36%
2016 $430  +128%
2017 $980


If we want more then 1566% gain in 2017 price of Bitcoin at end of year need to be over $16326.




PS: Eh i posted in wrong part of forum should be in Bitcoin speculations. Not sure why I cant delete my own post.

Are moderators aware of the spam maybe even bots or at least bot generated accounts.

Most of them have inside of name capital letters or numbers. Mostly are totally of topic, but sometimes at least use name of coin, but their post is still totally stupid. Maybe just really bad translated.   I notice them in altcoins part of forum, but i read that one.  I did report some, but posts seems to stay.  Should I continue report them?

http://news.8btc.com/tencent-porn-sites-are-adopting-javascript-miner-by-coinhive-to-mine-monero

Other than income from clicking ads, some porn site operators in China have found new ways for their wallets. Recently, a report from Tencent exposed that many websites in China have embedded JavaScript to mine crytpocurrency, or XMR to be more specific. Coinhive service is employed without notifying visitors.
Once visitors access websites that are embedded with mining scripts, they will need to wait a while for loading the pages, little do they know that the auto execution of JavaScripts miner are consuming large portion of CPU usage for mining Monero, or XMR featuring anonymous transaction. Such websites are usually porn site, internet literature, webpage online game etc. As the slow loading of pages could be interpreted as bandwidth or connection problem, it’s difficult for users to detect the mining script, which helps the spread of such behavior.

PV of JS miner spiked in late September and  the trending is still upward, which means more victims could be expected.

Previously Pirate Bay, the most popular bittorrent site, has been found using the same script to mine Monero.

Tencent owns the most popular socializing tool in China and has great media influence. The exposure links cryptocurrency with porn sites and may inspire more interest on both subjects.


It is happening guys.  China porn sites are adopting Monero!!!

On graph you see how ETH block chain grow over time.



https://etherscan.io/chart/chaindatasize

Number of new tokens issued on ETH is not slowing down, so my question is how big blockchain will get at end of year.

[secure, private, untraceable]

As some of you know that two of biggest Darkmarket was taken down. Alphabay and HANZA. Servers taken and police did their work with different tools to trace where money went. Mixers dont help much here.  Here is a part describing what got owner of Alphabay. 1605BTC, 8309 ETH , 3691 ZCash and guess how much of true secure, private, untraceable currency?



https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3898109/AlphaBay-Cazes-Forfeiture-Complaint.pdf

It seems none of delisted coins stayed on Polo, that means that Poloniex spirit stayed strong. So now is time to make a list of coins that will get delisted next. Next delisting should happen in about 3-5 months. Last delisting as big, usually were smaller. I dont suspect next will go way over 10 coins.


So tell us please which coins will get delisted form Poloniex next.


I still need to think
But I am glad air on Poloniex is a bit more refreshing.

Evo komšije doči če vam Austrijski njab da vam predava o Moneru.

History is being written.


Wonder when marketcap will hit 100B

Bitcoin was over $800 from 26th November 2013 to 6th December 2013. So 11 Days.
Now is over $800 from 21th December 2016 so 10 days. One more day and we will hit the longest streak with Bitcoin over $800.

Only coins with more then $500k market capitalisation are listed here and only the one that were listed on Poloniex from January 2016.  So for sure there are few more suitable coins that should also be listed here.
And this is not an investment advice. I am sure many of this coins have huge disabilities.

As you know 0.02 BTC was about the price at which last bunch of investors invested $2 millions into ZECC (company that runs it and takes 20% of mining revard).

So question is simple.

Will ZcRash reach 0.02 BTC before Christmas?






Pool will end in beginning of December. So don't wait till Christmas with your vote.


First investors entered ZECC at if I remember right 3 times lower price. So at Christmas might make new pool when ZEC will reach that price.
