Pushing Bitcoin and the Blockchain in the Mainstream Media!

Remember this tidbit? Back in September 1st of this year, I wrote the following for InvestorPlace Media:

You may love it, or you may hate it. You might even think this next-generation investment is only for computer geeks, or those with serious gambling addictions. But irrespective of your feelings, Bitcoin and the rise of so-called cryptocurrencies will change the entire financial paradigm.

I argue that in many ways, digital currencies have already rocked the often stodgy and slow-to-change financial infrastructure. Back in 2013 when Bitcoin prices first eclipsed quadruple digits, the mainstream viewed the cryptocurrency in a speculative, negative light.

For instance, CNN Money made sure you knew that Bitcoin was the “currency of choice” for drugs and illicit transactions. The mainstream media also cited criticism that Bitcoin could be worth a fortune, or nothing at all.

It’s fair to point out the seedy side of cryptocurrencies because that element actually exists. At the same time, focusing strictly on the negatives prevents viewing the digital markets through a broader perspective. Any new technology is susceptible to unlawful or otherwise illegitimate use. But over time, greater exposure leads to integration of that technology. More importantly, integration leads to cultural and societal normalization.

The latter point is already occurring. Today, it’s not at all uncommon to see reports from CNBC, Bloomberg, or other mainstream business publications discussing Bitcoin prices. And personally, I’m happy to see more of my InvestorPlace colleagues give cryptocurrencies a fair shot. Even Dana Blankenhorn, who doesn’t necessarily fit the stereotypical image of a Bitcoin trader, has written a number of articles about the technologies underlining cryptocurrencies.

What distinguishes me from many other writers, though, is that I’m extremely bullish on the cryptos. In fact, I see a case for $10,000 Bitcoin. And I’m not afraid of going long, even at these “ridiculous” levels around $4,700 or so.

Well, my friends, Bitcoin $10,000 is here! I just wanted to let you all know that I've been working extremely hard from the mainstream, pushing the blockchain revolution wherever and whenever I can!
