You know I was hoping to enjoy this weekend off from charts, but I could not help myself. Many traders, even just for curiosity, had their eyes glued on the bitcoin chart given the Israel-Iran tensions over the weekend. Before the markets closed for the weekend, they did sink as the Iranians said they were…

Bitcoin on the path to new all time record highs

Bitcoin has topped $57,000 for the first time since 2021. And from a technical perspective, the world’s largest cryptocurrency is on the path to printing new all time record highs. In terms of fundamentals? The Bitcoin ETF. This was the catalyst many bitcoin bulls were waiting for. An ETF makes bitcoin ‘legit’ in the eyes…

Bitcoin to $50,000 by year end?

Back on October 24th 2023, I laid out my technical analysis for Bitcoin and told the bulls that a major breakout had triggered. The breakout zone was the $31,000 zone and I expected upwards momentum while the price of Bitcoin remained above this price level. In that article, my next resistance zone came in at…

Bitcoin tests critical intraday support. Is the Grayscale catalyst fading?

The bitcoin move on Tuesday August 29th 2023 had the crypto bulls excited. The catalyst? The US Court of Appeals for the D.C Circuit siding with Grayscale in a lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which had denied the Company’s application to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to an ETF.

Will Wellfield Technologies (WFLD.V) and DeFi levy the challenge to traditional finance?

One of the biggest unforeseeable events of the past twenty years has been the disintermediation effect of new tech. Netflix killed blockbuster, Amazon has slain Sears and other big box chains of the past, and services like Uber and Lyft are disrupting the traditional taxi services.

The Cryptocurrency Guide for the Perplexed: The Case Against Privacy Pt 2

Late last week I wrote a little something on privacy and why we need it. That was intended to be a much larger piece—the second half of which would show the other side, lay out the counterarguments from both the perspective of cryptocurrency, but also veer into wider privacy related territory. Especially in view of…

Today’s Idea: Wellfield Technologies (WFLD.V) offers tomorrow’s markets today

Tomorrow’s markets are going to be easier to navigate, or so we’re told by anyone close to decentralized finance (DeFi). The essential promise of DeFi is that it could lead to an altogether more efficient, more democratic form of finance.

If I had a billion dollars: Crypto and Monkey Business Edition

If I had a billion dollars the first thing I’d do is buy a monkey. Not a howler monkey or a languor monkey, or one of those that gets creative with how they say hello, but a regular capuchin monkey—one that hasn’t reached puberty yet so he doesn’t get aggressive. His name would be Jocko,…

The Cryptocurrency Guide for the Perplexed: Tether (USDT)

Today we’re talking about Tether (or USDT, they’re used interchangeably). They’re presently the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market cap and the first among stablecoins by dint of being the oldest, but not necessarily the best. We will probably never see another stablecoin rise to take its place, and if we do it’ll be dirtier than…

The cryptocurrency guide for the perplexed: Shiba Inu (SHIB)

For the conservative looking to get into crypto, Bitcoin and Ethereum are still where it’s at. They’re the coins that offer the lowest risk profile—they have enough attention, backing and third-party investment to ensure that of all the coins out there they’ll still be around in ten years. But if you’re looking to get rich,…
