Bitcoin Drops Over $2,000 As Bitcoin Cash And Altcoins Skyrocket

in #bitcoin7 years ago

At one point last night the crypto market was nearly entirely green across the board. Here was a short video I uploaded to my Facebook page where I talk about it.

Then, today, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was added for trading on Coinbase’s GDAX exchange. And, Bitcoin Cash, which was already up 50% in the last week skyrocketed more than 50% today to above $3,800.

In fact, it overloaded Coinbase’s GDAX exchange and caused GDAX to crash after only 4 minutes of trading with the last quoted price on GDAX for BCH at $9,000!

Trading is set to resume at 9 am on Wednesday on GDAX… maybe.

In response, bitcoin dropped more than $2,000 in the last 24 hours.

As I have said many times in the last few weeks, there are real concerns about bitcoin ever being usable as a digital currency due to slowness to adapt by Bitcoin Core coders and the bitcoin ecosystem.

They said that Segwit 2x would fix the problems with slow transfer times and expensive transaction costs… and it hasn’t. Now, the market waits to see if or when lightning network will proliferate and if that will fix the problems.

I spoke with Bitcoin Core coder, Jimmy Song, about these issues in an Anarchast episode released today.

In the meantime, digital cash alternatives to bitcoin have been skyrocketing.

BITCOIN CASH

I was adamant to TDV subscribers after the August 1st hard fork to not sell their Bitcoin Cash. I foresaw what is currently happening and said that subscribers should maintain a 1:1 ratio of bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash because of exactly what is going on right now.

I was mocked for my views on Bitcoin Cash. But, that’s nothing new.

I was mocked for quitting my job at a bank and saying the internet would change everything in 1993 and starting an internet company that went on to be worth $240 million. I was mocked for my belief in that Ponzi scheme/scam called bitcoin when I recommended it at $3 in 2011. I was mocked for recommending the Steem “Ponzi scheme” a year and half ago at $0.91… it is currently over $3 and many people who listened to me have made tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars posting on the site.

Some people have asked me how is it that I can take such extreme positions and handle all the hate that comes my way. It’s actually quite easy. When you realize almost everyone in the world is a moronic brainwashed slave, their taunting and mockery doesn’t really mean much.

Plus, I always get the satisfaction of being right and making a lot of money while they miss the boat every time.

In any case, I was very adamant that Bitcoin Cash could become bigger than bitcoin. And, not 1 in 100 people agreed with me.

Today we are seeing that become closer to reality with Bitcoin Cash now trading, on its own, at a higher level than bitcoin was trading at during the fork on August 1st.

Bitcoin traded at $2,800 on August 1st, the day it forked. Today, Bitcoin Cash, alone, traded over $3,800.

For those who have followed my advice, and owned BCH 1:1 with bitcoin, the drop in bitcoin today did not hurt them at all as BCH rose commensurately for a total value of over $20,000.

DASH

Another potential digital cash frontrunner is Dash. I recommended this to TDV subscribers at $3.52 in January, 2016.

It currently trades over $1,250 for a gain to date of over 35,000%.

Not bad.

I reiterated it as a buy in our November 23rd issue, and it has doubled since then.

LITECOIN

Litecoin is also in the running for the race to be the top digital cash crypto.

Interestingly, I’ve known about Litecoin since its inception in 2011, but never recommended nor liked it much as I didn’t see the value proposition in it.

However, in our November 23rd issue, with Litecoin trading at $70, I finally recommended it, saying that it will likely garner a lot of interest in the race to replace bitcoin as a usable digital currency.

As soon as I recommended it, Litecoin went from $70 to over $300 in just a few days.

MONERO

Monero is a sentimental favorite of mine due to its incredibly heavy focus on privacy. If you use Monero virtually no one could ever find out you even owned it much less where you spent it or used it.

In this day and age with criminal mafias rife across the planet and terrorist organizations like the CIA, FBI, IRS, and NSA tracking everything poor American slaves do… cryptocurrencies like Monero are crucial to any last hope for freedom in this world.

I recommended Monero at $10 in August, 2016 and it currently trades over $400 and has skyrocketed with the rest of the digital currency alternatives since I’ve publicized the problems with Bitcoin Core in the last few weeks.

MY NEXT RECOMMENDATION

My last major recommendation to TDV subscribers was EOS at $1.30 this summer. A few days after my recommendation the Chinese mafia tried to ban ICOs in China and EOS fell back to $0.50 where I reiterated to TDV subscribers that it was the buy of the century.

EOS has since risen to over $12 today for a 2,300% gain from $0.50!

And now, at 12 pm Eastern time on December 24th I will release my next cryptocurrency recommendation to TDV Premium subscribers (note: TDV Basic subscribers can upgrade here to make sure they receive my recommendation as soon as it is released).

I won’t give away too much here right now… but it also could be a frontrunner to take over from bitcoin as digital cash and the market has not taken full notice of it yet.

I expect, at the very least, once I recommend it, it will likely rise hundreds of percent as the market becomes aware of it.

You can get access to it and receive this alert at 12 pm Eastern time on December 24th by clicking HERE now and subscribing to TDV Premium.

Thank you for posting

I caught that Dan Larimer interview you did and jumped on EOS that day. I think it was $1.55 when I started getting it and yes’ir! I continued at 55 cents. Just in case you’re reading this... “Thanks!” 5 out of 8 buys are over 1,000% and it’s only been a few months.

Finally some support for ALTCOIN as Bitcoin is on hold.

Btc is continously droping, should i hold or sell?

Good time to buy even more BTC...

now i am planning to shuffle some profits of Altcoins to BTC for a while till i get some good profits

continuously dropping against what? Fiat yes, the alt coins no! even bitcoin cash. I'm going to explain something to you really quick here. Even Jeff above doesn't understand. I had 32 bitcoin august 1, sold all my bitcoin cash into bitcoin at around .18. So 32 times .18= 5.76 free bitcoin. Now I had 37.76 bitcoin, then bitcoin gold came out, sold all 37.76 bitcoin gold at .04 bitcoin gold a pop. so 37.76 times .04= 1.5104. so 37.76+1.5104=39.2704 bitcoin I now have. And now bitcoin diamond is about to come out and that is trading at 40-50 dollars, but there giving away 10x the amount of bitcoin you have, bitcoin diamonds is another fork of bitcoin, there are actual half a dozen more hard forks to bitcoin happening right now also. Bitcoin (core) has been the greatest dividend yield I have ever received, currently beating holding the bitcoin cash I would've held if I would've listened to Jeff. Then again, that's just how I have been playing it. These forks of bitcoin I see are dividends to the actual bitcoin.

nice strategy man, thanks for the perspective

Sweet mate, Bittrex regulation change and Kraken lag totally messed up my trading...but I should and could have held same way...

Wow... great tips. I should be taking a closer look at EOS.

Take a look at #Cardano at #6MC. Similar vision, neck and neck with EOS. And I bet it's the one Jeff announces.

I will take a closer look mate, thanks for the tip :d I definitely missed out on BTC one year ago (or several years ago when it was just couple of dollars...don't wanna miss on new cool stuff from 2018 onwards :D

Excellent post . thanks for sharing.

I had a feeling 2 weeks ago that BCH should follow BTC at least to some extent and now it's on a raise :) I think now people will turn their eyes on Bitcoin Gold so stay put guys!

Excellent Analysis! Appreciated with Following upvote & Resteemed @dollarvigilante

I love this guy. I used to think Anarchists and freedom fighters were kind of unhinged; however, I listened to or read most of this cats' video content and blog posts and most of what that I have reviewed has made sense. You have to give Jeff credit, he is a visionary. Definitely a fan and we at the Pamper Me Network are looking forward to building apps running on the Steem platform. blue-logo500.png

when one of your important figure just cash out and claim "high risk", you should understand that what's gonna happens next

there is real issue 4 tremendous shift in2 called altcoins.
Altcoins sounds obvious 4 me right now because there are just more complexity inside like it is on eos and cardano

Sweet stuff, Jeff.
Thanks for your work, dude.

Hi nice post, please follow me and vote my posts . i am new here. Thanks

Thanks, Mr. Vig! 100% upvote and Resteemed! Psyched about bitcoin cash!

you are the crypto prophet

good analyzing information.Thanks for sharing.i like your post and following.

What about Cardano? A lot of people have been talking about it, and think it will be the next big thing.

great info. I’m new to crypto. Should I invest $2000 in crypto or $2000 in gold/silver.....or $2000?????

@jeffberwick please understand that there is a cryptocurrency to "dethrown" Bitcoin, and that is STEEM..

Nice analizing, thanks for share

All you can do is advised people. I told everyone I was buying litecoin when it sunk to 49 dollars. That was only a couple of months ago, they should have listened....

Woww...exellent post

Bitcoin Fees and transaction times are annoying...Bitcoin will easily be replaced with better alternatives in the short run...Let me also go for BCH lol...

as always, thanks for the content. Being a new user here on Steemit and new to Crypto as a whole, your videos / Blogs have been exceptionally helpful!

I love it when you can just sit and watch money multiply while you do nothing..,,,,

I heard BCH was trading at $9000 on Coinbase and trades had to be stopped. Now this post confirms it. Wow!

Roger Ver is doing a lot of stuff. @cryptodaily is going to be mad. Next episode will ne massive.

Tq for sharing info...

Oh noo...please steem don't go down. Don't follow bitcoin

Again opportunity for trading. Who missed this opportunity.. because it will again go in bullish trend very soon

I know you don't have the time ATM, but i am curious what you think would make for the ideal coin, in your view. Really any kind of UUCC. ultimate use case coin. Like if there really was "One Coin" to Free them all. What does it need to be?

Hello Jeff!
Please read this article, you are quoted there by the way
https://steemit.com/politics/@voloshyn/cryptocurrency-philosophy-and-politics-right-wing-and-left-wing-influences

I'm interested in your opinion!

And 1 more thing, sorry for posting here, but I don't know how to bring it to your attention.
There will be lecture about political philosophy in cryptocurrency world.
If by chance you visit Ukraine some day in future, I can organize your lecture as well!

What about Ripple? 4 second transaction speeds is mind blowing. It might be the future of banking

Eos will suppousedly have 1.5 second transaction speeds and will also have no fees.

very good post,outstanding

to me Bitcoin is Dead , what we see now is Bitcoin core and Bitcoin cash , and BCH is the real bitcoin , Trusted P2P , fast, cheap and more

wow cool i like that friend. friend please help me vote ......

very good job!! i dont know you but i buy eos too!!

"When you realize almost everyone in the world is a moronic brainwashed slave, their taunting and mockery doesn’t really mean much."

My hat goes off to you Mr Berwick, you sound just like my father.

WOW! I was appalled at Mr. Song's lack of concern about Bitcoins recent loss of being an efficient medium of exchange!!! He seems to be content with it only being a store of value. Not in keeping with Satochi's vision.
Thankyou Jeff for this interview and asking him the proper questions that he just skirted around without answering.
This interview was enough to make me want to trade my BTC for BCH, LTC, & DASH!

I believe in Ethereum guys!

It's time for a change.

Thanks a lot all your sharing Jeff. It is nice to see to proof your point when everyone is going right, except for you going left and afterwards make those who went right think "I should have gone left as well..."
I just upgraded to premium, because I am satisfied with all the information I get from TDV since joining you and am happy to get more of this.
Cheers from Belgium!
