Bitcoin Soars To Nearly $9,000 And Over $10,500 Including Forks As Cryptos Continue Massive Surge

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Another day, another $20 billion rise in the value of the cryptocurrency space.

Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash played a big role in the rise of the space as a whole over the last few weeks and most cryptos were heavily in the green again today. But, today’s big rise in the overall market cap of the crypto space is mainly attributed to bitcoin rising another 8% today.

As we speak, bitcoin is nearing $9000.

And Bitcoin Cash is sitting just under $1600 USD, meaning that the combined value of the two currencies is well over $10,000 USD.

Not to mention Bitcoin Gold is worth around $350 USD too. For a total of about $10,750 for those who held bitcoin through the last few forks.

And, all this is happening with a lot of uncertainty and doubt about the future of bitcoin itself.

To discuss this, I joined Ernie Hancock of the Freedom’s Phoenix radio program this week.

We discussed bitcoin from the Austrian economics, anarcho-capitalist perspective and how it is quite possible that we could end up seeing the original bitcoin relatively sabotaged by the banking elite through the efforts of groups such as Blockstream.

By the same token, it is possible that we could see Bitcoin Cash or some other such alternative become what the original bitcoin was meant to be; a peer-to-peer payment system or ‘digital cash’.

To hear about some of the possible outcomes through this battle, listen to Ernie and I talk in depth in our most recent full-length interview here:

Ernie Hancock will be speaking at Anarchapulco this coming February from February 15th -18th. February 18th is called Cryptopulco as it is entirely focused on blockchain and cryptocurrencies and is one of the most important crypto events of the year. And, it is followed the next day by the TDV Investment Summit on February 19th where we will cover cryptos, like we do every year, in addition to other hard asset investments as well as the internationalization of your wealth and self strategies.

All told, it is an incredible week on the beach in Acapulco in February! You won’t want to miss it.

Hey dollarvigilante,
Thanks for the great content

thank you for work

Just when Alts start really making progress btc knocks them right back down. It has to end eventually?!

Looks like there'll be much more BIGG institutional money moving into Bitcoin over the next month from the news articles I've been reading.

"The entrance of large-scale banks and financial institutions such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity Investments, CME, CBOE, Shinhan, and Man Group have further triggered the demand for bitcoin from both the traditional finance sector and general consumers."

Well said. Although it is hard to understand how it is all of a sudden worth that much more but speculation money coming in.

Talk of $10k by the end of the year. Can bitcoin hold on or will we correct before then?

Truly exciting times ahead...

EOS ... come on EOS

Clif Highs web bot isn't 100% accurate but its pretty damn accurate. It had predicted the Price of bitcoin reaching the $8,000s and pulling back to about 5,500 which happened. The next target he predicts $10,888.

He said litecoin would go into the $100's. The price is creeping up slowly but surely.

What he said about ETH, if you dont mind can you share the report, thanks

$9192 right now

Next stop $10,000

do you think it will stop?
or just wave at $10 as it goes past?

There will always be a little dip, but I think it will hit $10k before January

ya think?
It appears that it will hit ten thousand today.

Oh Better, let it grow, I news money to get a new laptop

Question is....Is it too late late to buy bitcoin now? I guess it benefits those who accumulated over the years when it was much cheaper...

Yes it is still beneficial to buy bitcoin now! Although you won't make as much profits as early investors, you can still make lots of money as it keeps on going to new heights everyday. As it's popularity increases more and more people start using it so it's price increases!

bitcoin is the future.

I am 100% sure it will hit $10,000 before 31st December 2017, i have been telling all of my friends to invest but, all of them were skeptical, people who think it is late to invest just check the historical chart of bitcoin and you will understand there is no "it is too late to invest" for BTC.

that's just awesome! And a good post

This rise means great fortune for many who have invested and a lesson for many still sceptical. Thank you for a great post @dollarvigilante

Buy and HODL. LITEcoin is good too

I've been holding Alts for 4-5 months I wish I just left everything in bitcoin :(

wow bitcoin keeps on increasing. Moves upwards very quickly. Hopefully steam also shows its prowess. Thank you for sharing your excellent information.

If you can't attend, will it be available online via some type of streaming service or recorded and shared afterwards? Other than that, I really do have high hopes for the increased adoption of tokens. My only issue is the role all of the intermediaries like banks play in all this. Will we see centralized authorities attempt to "police" our tokens? It's fair to say that Bitcoin's going to the moon with this though.

So exciting! :D

Bitcoin is crazy. and i missed it.

Missed it?!

This is a new currency and it's not going away. Get some!

Rumor since yesterday was that big financial institutions & hedge funds were buying bitcoin on Sunday in preparation for the derivatives market launch by the CME next month. Which pushed the price up.

I think this correction thing is over.

Is btc going to increases from January next year or decrease.
Because investment need total concentration

Bitcoin is only worth what people believe it's worth , and for me , that ain't much after recent revelations of who is involved in bitcoin during the segwit2x debacle...

Cool :)

I just upvoted on all your post and I hope you do the same for me.

I heard a few people say once Bitcoin hits $9,000 it would pull back. Does anyone agree? Is so I’m going to wait to buy more

Wow.. Bitcoin is touching new heights...
Thinking How far it will go in the end of the year..

Thanx a lot for sharing the rare information.
