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.

Their FAQ says it will start for real in end of 2016
(by which time the people behind this BitCoin clone will have mined enough of the easy to mine coins for themselves)

What, me cynical?

Well they say Zcash runs on trial mode and all will be reset at some point

Q3 shall see this reset and the real launch

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.
