Bitcoin Scaling Agreement Consensus
“Cointelegraph has reported that a number of leading players of the Blockchain industry have reached a consensus in regards to the Bitcoin scaling solution. This break in the scaling debate stalemate is a new, highly significant boost for the Bitcoin ecosystem.”
“According to sources, a number of Bitcoin businesses owners, including Barry Silbert (Digital Currency Group), Roger Ver (Bitcoin.com) and major mining players Jihan Wu (Bitmain) and Valery Vavilov (BitFury), have come to a general agreement at the currently ongoing Consensus conference in New York.”

The jury is still out on this however…
People may want to look into Litecoin (LTC) as an alternative to BTC while the scaling issues remain.
Market Correction! Everyone Panic!
Today the markets experienced a strong correction, with red nearly across the board.
In my interview I did with Rogue Money today I share my thoughts about the market.
I explain that, because of the recent crypto summits and hype,a lot of "uneducated" money has entered into the space. As we experience a correction, those new to cryptocurrency and unaware of its notorious volatility, will panic sell. This will snowball, deepening the correction and pushing prices lower.
Do not panic! Crypto will most certainly experience even larger price swings in the future. Be smart, patient and disciplined when acquiring assets.

This correction was very expected though. But BitCoin is not done yet, it will start to climb again after the correction. Ride the wave...

100% correct. Expected...if you understand the crypto market, the point I was trying to make was, for people who are new to the market and who are not familiar with the volatility in the market, they may panic and panic sell. I think some of the price drop reflects that.
You are right, BTC is not done! To be honest neither are some of the other alts IMO...just taking a breather for a bit :) I still maintain that we will see a separation of a few coins with great communities, projects and utility that will take off and some of the alts that got pumped and have no future. We will have to see. Thanks for reading! Keep Steeming!
