Bitcoin price discussion and analysis

It's been slow to respond to Bitcoin price this time compared to Bitcoin's first run that happened a few years back, but I decided to put a bit of money on the Aussie Bitcoin/Blockchain stock Digitalx Ltd (DCC). Perhaps there is some catching up to do in DCC's share price...

my EA is in BTC again and doing alright. ETH closed yesterday with a small loss from false breakout, and its in again today. I'm hoping ETH can push a little higher but its already at the 700 mark which is a fair bit higher than what it was earlier in the year! I missed some of the move due to my EA having a few issues but now that its all sorted I'm starting to catch a few of the breakouts (I'm running a simple donchian BO EA that I coded on ETHUSD and BTCUSD).
 
I'm thinking one setback to BTC rising far is that there are many other rival cryptos . it might be hard for BTC to get a big capitalization because of this . what do you guys think?

My own view is that bitcoin has a privilege position, first one, name popularity
Btc eth and that's about it
hard enough to get traditional investors and fund into btc, there is no hope for smaller wannabe
And technology advantage will play no role.my view and probably wrong but i only trust BTC as having some investigating credibility

I would say it has nothing to do with it to be honest.

99% of crypto will be gone eventually with only a few ones remaining, most of them are junk...

there is plenty of money that can go into BTC, like hundreds of billions if not trillions...

right now BTC is the king, it will take something amazing to knock it off its throne at this point.
 
interesting contrasting views

BTC does seem like the next step - get rid of paper. and better and more reliable money system .
 
Authorities can shut it down quickly if the wanted to. Regulation is the real danger.

BTC is the coin of choice. However trading the smaller coins turns more profit.

and how could that play out (shutdown)? this would mean people losing loads of money (especially the big investors).

For one government can ban local exchanges trading in bitcoin, China has done something like that before

Chinese regulatory authorities had imposed a ban on initial coin offerings (ICO), a cryptocurrency-based fundraising process, and termed it illegal in China in September 2017. That ban triggered an instant 6% decline in bitcoin prices. Following the ban, the Shanghai-based BTCC bitcoin exchange was forced to close its Chinese trading operations. (For more, see China Intensifies Crackdown On Bitcoin Mining.)

Biden seems crypto friendly but that can mean they are going to fiddle with it. Korea, China and a few others did lay down regulation and helped pop the last run.

SEC against xrp will be interesting. I think the SEC do have a case as the ripple founders (allegedly) did some dodgy stuff. If SEC comes out with a win they may be emboldened from there.

All just speculation for now. But its good to keep an eye on.
 
Bitcoin just hit exactly US$30,000 before falling back a bit.
An almost vertical price rise, inexperienced traders jumping on the bandwagon (various assets not just Bitcoin) and now funds are getting interested.

Brings back memories of early 2000 with the .com boom and bust, this seems all too familiar with what took place then and that sure didn't end well.

I'm invested in stocks but keeping an active watch on what's going on. Bitcoin I'm staying out of though. :2twocents

There is a high risk here and especially so if a person holds on and on without closing here and there on the way up. The aim always must be to get as close as possible to cashing in the original amount invested, and as is often said, 'run the rest'. Try to avoid going back in again as heavy as at the first stage - as even with shares that's the way to lose out. Sometimes worth crashing the computer grabbing a coat and going for a very long walk with no device as a temptation.
