Look out Bitcoin the dollar is surging in value!

[Sir Alpha_goy]

This may or may not be good for Bitcoin.

With the attempts to become the new financial arm of the world there may be a problem on the doorstep.

The United States Dollar is surging in value.

With offshore yuan collapsing near 6.90 - record lows - the USD Index has surged this morning, breaking above Dec 2015's 100.51 level to trade at its highest since April 2003...

USD Index is up 8 days straight - the biggest surge since May 2015

More worrisome is what does a weak Yuan look like for Bitcoin?

If the Yuan is worth less the buying power for the Chinese to get into BItcoin might be effected.

Hello sir, thank you for the info.

Thank you again.

To be honest if it is thought that bitcoin will grow as big as dollar or may replace it in coming time it will never happen. 2 basic reason dollar existence and bitcoin existence ages difference between both and dollar accepted worldwide and bitcoin is banned in few countries and not accepted worldwide.

Have you seen the bitcoin charts? The price has risen to $748 on bittrex!

Seems to me that btc and USD are rising at the same time.

Yes interesting times. A lot of confusion in all the markets. A lot of head fakes everywhere. Is the USD about to top? Will it continue to rise forcing China to devalue the yuan again and again?

What goes up need to come down and i think Chinese yuan devaluation will actually make bitcoin price stronger along with USD.

Chinese seems buying bitcoin every day/week in last few months to be in safer side when their yuan is getting heavy devaluation.

It makes sense, if I was in China I would surely try to buy bitcoins for protection against devaluations. The money flow in the us market lately could be for the same reasons.

Yeah it's time to take the risk to play safe here, it's the only way our money will not devalue, let's invest it with bitcoin and we will see the price of bitcoin of large volume will do it and will benefit all of use here.

I personally try to buy bitcoin as much as i can , i also buy gold, it such a protection for our wealth, i don't trust my own currency or even storing them in the banks cause i know those are bulshit, moreover my bank that i used right now has been loaned to China Development Bank. So i really scared for storing my money out there, whatever happens in china will affect economic situation in my country.
