🗞 The Threat of Bitcoin Futures

Side effects

That's important. Why? Because institutional investors will like that. Size and liquidity make fund managers feel less stressed than usual.

The bitcoin market seems to be excited at all the institutional money that will come pouring into bitcoin as a result of futures trading. That's the part I don’t understand.

It’s true that the possibility of getting exposure to this mysterious asset that is producing outstanding returns on a regulated and liquid exchange will no doubt entice serious money to take a bitcoin punt. Many funds that are by charter prohibited from dealing in “alternative assets” on unregulated exchanges will now be able to participate.

🗞 Cat Fight? Ethereum Users Clash Over CryptoKitties

As profiled by CoinDesk, the cat-trading game had grown so popular earlier this week that it was clogging the ethereum network, slowing down transaction times. Now, however, congestion is reaching unprecedented levels, with a record-breaking 30,000 transactions stuck and waiting to be processed at press time.

He told CoinDesk:

"The miners raising the block gas limit is the only short-term solution against our new feline overlords for now."

🗞 200,000 Unconfirmed Transactions Pile Up in Another Crazy Day for Bitcoin

Exchanges overloaded. DDoS attacks. Huge price spikes, flash crashes, and order cancellations. Over 200k transactions queued, some for more than 24 hours, in the mempool – despite paying high fees. Just another crazy day in bitcoin, a land where every day seems to be wilder than the last, including higher highs, bigger swings, and record-breaking numbers across the board.

BTC Trading Update by @cryptopassion

As expected, the break of the UP trading canal gave us a very nice break out :

We should have soon a start of a correction. I think we could use the higher line of of the Trading Canal as a nice support line. A touch on it will allow us also to touch the MMA13 (green line) before the continuation of the UP trending.

So be prepared to see soon a nice drop but there is nothing dramatic if we don't break the support line in red.

Wont it be profitable to convert crypto into some currency with lower market capacity????????? bitcoins are making so mucg progress right now all for what coz it has only 21 million market cap max... if u invest into something into even lower market cap then today or tomorrow u can make way more money...plus bitcoin mining is becomng so expensive now that unfortunately people will lose interest i think investing into btc wont be the best option u hv right nw

I wouldn't say more profitable to invest in alt coins over bitcoin because there seems to be more volatility with them (even though investing in bitcoin is pretty much akin to betting). It's the same as saying it's more profitable to buy a 1million dollar lotto ticket over a 100 dollar scratchie, even though the %ROI could be higher on the lotto ticket it is less likely to HAPPEN. Guess the answer is having a diverse portfolio!

Thank you for the comment @mvrr007
There is a move currently from BTC to Altcoins. I cannot predict if it will last.
