Stock market making you queasy? Bitcoin is looking good!

From a low of $6,600 on March 30, 2018, Bitcoin is poised to hit around $10,000 if it maintains it’s current momentum.

 Bitcoin and other virtual coins were higher on Tuesday, as financial institutions consider cryptocurrency trading.

For those who are Hodling, this is good news!  Bitcoin was almost $20,000 per BTC last year.  If you think that number is doable (again), then Bitcoin has the capability to double, or more.

While China is rejecting cryptocurrency, Malta, in the EU is Embracing it.

Here is how you can get Bitcoin for FREE!

In the Bitcoin universe, there are magical websites which award you Bitcoins for playing games and will get you free fractional Bitcoin as you roll and win Bitcoin.

All about Bitcoins

Step One:

You need to set up a Bitcoin wallet.  I use Coinbase, which is well known; you can also use any Bitcoin wallet you have already set up.  Here is the link to Coinbase.  You will need to give the faucet your Bitcoin address so they can send the earned Bitcoin to you.

Step Two:

Pick a bitcoin faucet, which can give you Bitcoins for signing up.
“A bitcoin faucet is a reward system, in the form of a website or software app, that dispenses rewards in the form of a satoshi, which is worth a hundredth of a millionth BtC, for visitors to claim in exchange for completing a captcha or task as described by the website.” – From Wikipedia
These sites have links to some Bitcoin Faucets:
Before you go hog wild, research the site before signing up, and make sure you are comfortable with the trade-off for a Bitcoin faucet – Advertising or information like your phone number, etc. etc.
You may not get rich, but Bitcoin Faucets are fun, so get out there and grab a few Satoshi’s for yourself!
Thanks for reading and TO THE MOON!

Worried about Bitcoin? George Soros is getting into it….

George Soros, a noted currency trader who called Bitcoin a “bubble” in January – is going to be trading cryptocurrencies!  This is according to an article in Bloomberg, which has been getting a lot of play in the internet!  Read it here:

“Soros has already been indirectly betting on crypto. The firm amassed a stake in Overstock.com in the fourth quarter, making it the third-biggest shareholder of the discount e-commerce company. In August 2017 it became the first major retailer to accept digital currencies. The company had also planned to start an exchange for cryptocurrencies as well as offer digital coins that could trade on the platform. – Bloomberg Article“

Soros is a major Player in the Forex/currency markets, and his venture into Bitcoin shows that an old dog can learn new tricks!  Mr. Soros is a shrewd investor and I suspect he sees a way to make some serious money off Cryptocurrency and businesses utilizing Cryptocurrency.  

 The Founder of Overstock, Patrick M Byrne,  has been outspoken about Bitcoin, Here is one of his talks:   

Patrick M. Byrne on “Why Cryptocurrencies matter”

At this time I don’t own any Overstock.com stock, but I am going to keep an eye on it and consider investing if it dips.

Mr. Soro’s entry into bitcoin is a welcome sign to this Bitcoin fancier, and I expect his investments will be a worthy foray into the cryptocurrency market.  With Bitcoin entering it’s second decade of growth and volatility, this is an exciting time to play in the cryptocurrency sandbox, or just watch from the sidelines!  Best of Luck to you, George Soros and Patrick M. Byrne!
