Good morning traders!

Rumors that Ripple will be added to Coinbase at the end of January. And you know what happens, when they do?

Insider pump! Well, at least it was the supposed (unverified) case with Bitcoin Cash. But a pump nevertheless!

Bahador Zabihiyan got to visit one of the super-secret Bitcoin mining farms around the Montreal area - Bitfarms, where 4600 machines run 24/7. Quebec apparently is a popular place among miners, as elctricity is cheap and the natural cool climate is a big plus for cooling solutions. This is the first time ever the place opens their doors to a journalist as the industry likes discretion.

Read the article here on radio-canada. It's in french, but Google Translate, that's integrated into Google Chrome, does a magnificent job on it


What would happen if a country, such as Estonia, decided to launch its own crypto tokens with an Initial Coin Offering, asks Kaspar Korjus, Managing Director at e-Residency (E-Residency is a digital nation program run by Estonia)? Well, the question was asked already in August 2017 and the article went viral immediately. The idea has substantially matured since then and a recent article published on medium.com asks some further questions. But rest assured, "estcoin" is coming.

Definitely catch up on the developments here on medium.com


Oopsie! It appears the gap between SP500 12-month dividend yield and US 2-year Treasury Bonds is almost closed.

I'm leaving the significance of this to be explained by the economists, but to me it looks like chasing the fomo, momo, and high yields in SP500 is slowly starting to turn?

What bubble? Move over Bitcoin! Venezuela stock market index IBVC is up 4000% percent (in local currency Bolivar terms) this year, and making Citboins gains look like babysteps. Just a fun fact.

I'm quite sure there will be "rumors" of every "alt-coin will be on Coinbase by the end of January" coming out of the woodwork.

Classic pump-n-dump.

Haha, it's quite possible. Let's try n take advantage of the pump, shall we? :D

yes, sure. let's take some xrp.

I'm ready for it! Ripple bring it on!! :)))

Love the 'estcoin' crypto token idea. Estonia leading the way in forward thinking!

yeah mate, we have some bright minds here:)

Be sure to jump in right away if Ripple ends up getting added!

great post

This is great! Ripple valued at 1$ right now, which is crazy to see the growth of this crypto

0.88$ now

Bitcoin keeps on fluctuating. There are now various cryptocurrencies competing with Bitcoin but still Bitcoin is still the ultimate place to invest.
If a country as Estonia decided to launch its own crypto tokens, I think it will lead to a more organised trade where the government will not influence the economy . Only market forces will determine the forces of demand and supply.
Just my opinion, please don't stone me still learning cryptocurrencies trends and principles.@furious-one

All opinions are valuable. Thanks @jona12

You are welcome
