🗞 What Is Bitcoin Private?

The number of existing and upcoming Bitcoin hard forks continues to grow at an alarming rate. In fact, it seems the next fork is always just around the corner. Bitcoin Private, for example, is one of those upcoming forks, but these tokens will not be issued to BTC holders. That in itself is a rather remarkable decision. Whether or not anyone will care about this fork remains to be determined, though.

BTC Trading Update by @cryptopassion

Two days ago, I was showing you this prediction :

Here is the current chart :

As you can see, we followed closely my prediction and we are now testing the resistance line of the trading canal.

Let's see if we are able to break it and go back inside the trading canal. The current trend could help us to go back inside but don't forget always the possibility that this resistance line sends us below again via a new drop...

It's really a big risk that these investors buy bitcoins with borrowed money. But as what Greyson Chance said: The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. But the higher the climb the harder the fall.

Its gonna be hell for anyone that borrow to invest. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is highly volatile. Thus not advisable to use borrowed funds.

If it's true that 18% of BTC investors buy with borrowed money, if it crashes some people are going to be in for a WORLD of hurt...

I wonder what the total BTC held is by that 18% (again if it's even accurate)...
