    RIP Bitcoin

    This last days have seen a plunge after Mike Hearn exited over flaws...

    The Chinese mined over 50% of it

    https://www.techinasia.com/talk/rip-bitcoin-time-move

    It is still at just under 400Usd for the moment

    Here a link to a graph, over a year form 250 to 450 and around 400 now...

    Flat

    Well the crash day did not occur yesterday as predicted by many after the outing of major investor Mike Hearn...

    The Bitcoin remained around 395 Usd, yesterday 27 January 2016.


    Bitcoin in circulation through the years

    15,029,500 Bitcoin as of December, 2015

    Bitcoin are produced through a process called "mining". There is an upper limit of 21 million bitcoin that will ever be mined. The number of coins that are mined in each block is called the "reward". This reward decreases as time passes. Reward was 25 a year ago or so...

    The last 7% of bitcoin will be mined over a timespan of 100 years. Those years are not included in this chart.

    The price before July 2010 is unknown because there were no markets. Baldrick you might suggest the mining of zcash is at that stage as per Bitocin 2010 ? Damn so many those cryptocurrencies in existence already this days...

    Darkcoin that became Dashcoin and Litecoin look like to be on top after Bitcoin...

    If those two organizations are involved then the case is likely about more than simple currency exchange.

    Not an uncommon story. Seems to be a trend of exchanges opening, gaining trust, punters keeping money in the exchange to trade, and then the exchange being 'hacked' with a substantial amount of coin and an employee or two going missing.

    zcash looks like just another bitcoin variation. There are a hundred different coins based on bitcoin that promise to be faster, better, more private, stronger than before. All with their own whitepaper to prove their viability.

    The positive is that it's yet to start mining so early adopters could fill their boots, wait till the Chinese P&D it, and make a profit if they time the sell right.
    Some people think it don't, but it be.

    An informative read for those that might be interested.



    The Finanser Interviews: Jeffrey Robinson, Author of ?Bitcon, the naked truth about bitcoin? ? Chris Skinner's blog


    TLDR: The blockchain technology could be groundbreaking but bitcoin the currency is not the saviour.

    Many people have said that Pokemon Go monsters will be the next world currency.

    Better get out there and start collecting!

    Just try to stay off the military bases.

    And mine fields.
