It was less than a week ago that we posted, “Bitcoin Smashes Through $10k... Wait... $11k! What The Fk Is Going On?”
Now, in the last 24 hours, it has smashed through $12k, then $13k and now $14k to a new all-time high over $14,200.
So, it is time to update this table:
$0000 - $1000: 1789 days
$1000- $2000: 1271 days
$2000- $3000: 23 days
$3000- $4000: 62 days
$4000- $5000: 61 days
$5000- $6000: 8 days
$6000- $7000: 13 days
$7000- $8000: 14 days
$8000- $9000: 9 days
$9000-$10000: 2 days
$10000-$11000: <1 day
$11000-$12000: 6 days
$12,000-$13,000: 19 hours
$13,000-$14,000: 2 hours
Since hitting $6,000, it has only taken a total of 46 days to more than double and surpass $14,000.
And cryptocurrencies as a whole now sit on the cusp of a $400 billion valuation. Or, nearly half a trillion dollars!
The central banking cartel continues to send out their puppets into the mainstream media they control, but that nobody watches anymore, to try to tame this tiger.
Today it was Alan Greenspan!
The former Federal Reserve Chairman mentioned in a CNBC interview on Wednesday that bitcoin reminded him of the currency issued during America's Colonial past that ultimately proved worthless called “Continental money” which was a fiat currency that was declared legal tender by the Continental Congress. It was not backed by gold or silver.
In 1775, the Continental currency, like all fiat currencies, allowed George Washington to finance the war, but seven years later in 1782, it became worthless as it was continually issued and ultimately collapsed in value as all fiat does.
Of course, bitcoin is finite and is not declared to be legal tender by government which is precisely why it cannot be considered fiat - it is not inflationary nor is it forced on people with violence. Likewise, it is backed by proof-of-work and cryptography, which differs from the continental currency in that the early colonial fiat was backed by nothing more than governmental decree.
One of the most accurate and intelligent quotes ever spoken by Thomas Jefferson who experienced the continental currency’s collapse first-hand was:
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
Although this quote is disputed as possibly not being legitimate and was aimed at Americans, it’s accurate for any country that has a central bank - which is nearly every country in the world.
For the first time in a long time, the people of the world are beginning to take back the power to issue their own currency. In this case, they are bringing it into existence through solving complex mathematical algorithms.
And here at TDV, we identified the potential for bitcoin since 2011 when it was trading at just $3.
Meanwhile, Peter Schill, whose family is very connected to the Rothschilds agreed with Alan Greenspan today, continuing Peter’s unblemished record of being wrong on bitcoin since it was in the double digits.
We’ve been right on cryptos since the beginning and made, so far, 460,000% gains on bitcoin since recommending it at $3 in 2011.

The Continental currency was created by central banks, forced upon people by government violence and financed war and eventually went to zero as all fiat currencies do.
Bitcoin has no central bank, isn’t forced upon people via violence and due to its non-inflationary nature, cannot be used to finance war. Because of all these benefits, not only will it not go to zero… but many are wondering if it will eventually be worth more than $1 million dollars in today’s dollars.
At the rate it is going, rising $3,000 per day, it wouldn’t take very long to get there!
End the Fed. Buy crypto. =)

Maybe its time to announce to take profits. You know Jeff if it rises to fast its not to good. But all sellwalls get burned by the bull. I think if we hit 20k it will be in the news again. And more will buy. But i will not sell sorry. I am a hodler. But this speed is even for me to much. Getting profits in one day what i had to work for the whole year. I am ready for the blood bath!

I still struggle to understand how futures will function is such a deregulated market. For example, if the price drops by 20% trading won’t be suspended. It may be suspended on the futures exchange but everywhere else the price could fall by a further 50% or recover and gain 50%. It would just mean those holding futures could only hedge elsewhere!

Your use of the "Continental Currency" is incomplete to say the least. Their is a great lesson to be learned about the actual historical context regarding it that is very timely in the current day's dialogue regarding money. Here's a great piece on what likely really happened.
https://www.peakprosperity.com/forum/hidden-history-according-benjamin-franklin-real-reason-revolutionary-war-has-been-hid-you/4358
The same tactics used back then by the Bank of England and the "Crown" are well known, and we can see that in the context of the debate on money and currency today surrounding crypto currency, there will be "counterfeiters" in this space. Fortunately due to the immutability of the Bitcoin block and extreme constraints built into the code itself, the powers that be will only be able to attack and propose "alt" coins to confuse the masses, create "forks" and diversions etc.. Good luck to everyone that's riding this horse.

Banks do not want bitcoin to grow but it keeps growing among bad sharks.

When will it drop and how hard will it drop, and then how long will it take to reach and surpass these highs again. It will reach them again after crashing, so I'm not worried, I'm just curious. And how many people will panic too? Oh, dear.
There was a song in hip hop...now drop, now drop, now drop! Or something like that. I'd change that to "Don't drop!" lol

Hey Jeff,
Super interesting take as always!
Can you speculate a little bit on any coming pullbacks on the price of Bitcoin?
Are there any dips on the horizon for people that haven't simply pilled into bitcoin with all this volatility to get in on some of the action?
I'm asking because I currently need to send some money from China to some folks back home, and I'd love to buy it and hold it for a while before exchanging it back for fiat...
The problem is, everytime in the past I bought and held bitcoin, I ended up losing huge amounts of money...
Well that was all before 2017 :P
Is that risk of buying and holding bitcoin and losing significants amount of money simply gone?
Would I be the biggest sucker ever to buy at current price when it's just about to come down a couple thousand dollars?
I can't find ANY rational information and the whole thing just seems like a huge speculation and gambling fiasco, two things I'm really not hot on since I have that aforementioned terrible luck with exposure to crypto.
(I've made a lot using crypto, never made anything holding it)
Thanks a lot for any info or advice you might have my brother
Best

Not sure I like it when the dolls vigilante says "this is getting ridiculous." The price rise doesn't surprise me at all with the coverage BTC is gettin' on "Lamestream." I mean look at all the talk of all the people pulling out all the equity in their homes to buy in? We ain't seen nothin' yet. I love this morning as Kramer was talkin' about how there's not enough sellers vs buyers and that ultimately this is what would hurt BTC considering there are only gonna be 21 million total? I smiled and just thought fractions/ to the moon..............
