The Crypto stock that’s better than GBTC

You have to love Crypto. Besides the real world Tom Clancy shit that is the backstory on Satoshi Nakomoto (to this day people hotly debate if Satoshi Nakomoto is Craig Wright, or was Hal Finney or Dave Kleiman. By the way, 2 of these 3 gentlemen are dead) you have characters like John McAfee of McAfee Antivirus and killing your neighbor in Belize notoriety making YouTube videos of himself snorting coke with hookers and guns whilst CEO of a publicly traded company with big Bitcoin investments. (scan to 1:12 mark where the good stuff starts)

John happens to have a company called MGTI which as far as I can tell is his pet project company. It has a project in the works for a privacy phone:

Introducing the world’s first smartphone featuring hard kill switches, empowering its users to take back control of their privacy. All phones feature a built-in privacy control center giving users full control of access and functions of their phone.

That’s interesting but will likely fail. Most people don’t care about privacy.

But THIS is where things get interesting. From the Company Info webpage:

Also as part of its corporate efforts in secure technologies, MGT is growing its capacity in mining Bitcoin. Currently at 5.0 PH/s, the Company’s facility in WA state produces about 80 Bitcoins per month, ranking it as one of the largest U.S. based Bitcoin miners. Further, MGT is in active discussions with financial partners to grow Bitcoin output materially.

McAfee gets it. He’s steering his company towards Bitcoin mining. Let’s say Bitcoin doubles or triples in price. Boom, his profit on the mining investment will follow. GBTC is a publicly traded tether to Bitcoin but it’s disconnected from reality. MGTI is the sleeper stock that has potential to explode as it is discovered by the masses and the profits begin to roll in.

MGTI was up 28% today.

Rally caps on: Bitcoin correction is OVER

Yesterday I entertained Bitcoin Bears with forecasts of doom for Bitcoin and a correction to $1,400.

Today I am here to tell you that the correction is over! I hope you got your cheap Bitcoins at $2,200. Barring any further detours, Bitcoin has reset it’s course to $10,000.

For perspective, the move from $3,000 to ~$2,200 is a correction inside a MUCH bigger move. Look at what Bitcoin has done before:

A 30% correction doesn’t concern crypto veterans. Here is a link to the chart above you can click on for live update. Notice the price goes off the chart? Bitcoin has doubled in price since that chart was created. Bitcoin is repeating larger and larger Wyckoff cycles one after another and they are happening closer and closer to each other. By 2019 I predict we’ll have $1,000 INTRADAY moves in Bitcoin price.

In all seriousness, if Bitcoin does not retrace to $2,000 (the 38% fib on chart below) from the top at $3k that is extremely bullish.

Once in a generation an investment comes along like Cryptocurrencies. This week’s drama will be a blip on the chart later this year when we’re over $5k and possibly flirting with $10,000 Bitcoin.

And … Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile. Most of the current coins won’t survive. But to the winners will go the spoils, and the spoils of this currency war will be large indeed. Therefore Crypto should be part of everyone’s portfolio.

As with any investment, consider dollar cost averaging into a position over time. If you’re lucky you’ll get some sub $2k coins.

Bitcoin downside target: $1400

Putting a target on anything is a fool’s game. Well, I’m your Huckleberry.

A daily chart of Bitcoin with a fib retracement of 61.8% is ~$1400. I’d say we’re 50/50 to see $1700 price by August 1st and we’ll overshoot it to touch $1400.

However, much like baseball, there’s no crying in Bitcoin.

You either believe Bitcoin is a game changer or you don’t. Buy hold or sell. Those are your choices.

Am I concerned? Sure. And yet I know Bitcoin has been here before many times. The global macro economic situation remains bullish for Bitcoin. Japan has made Bitcoin a currency. India is warming up to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a GLOBAL phenomenon. There will be bumps in the road to world domination.

Bitcoin remains Bitcoin’s major enemy as we move towards August 1st and the New York Agreement. The New York Agreement is the literal fork in the road and, besides the parabolic price rise, a possible cause for a rocky Summer in cryptoland.

The Bitcoin bulls are like early bulls in any sector. Ridiculed and sometimes publicly humiliated. But in the end Bitcoin will prevail. Even if you aren’t a believer can you afford to sit out a game changing financial instrument with zero exposure in your portfolio?

Make your plans to dollar cost average in under $2,000. See you in 2018 at $10,000 or I’LL SEE YOU IN HELL.

These are your future masters of finance. Prepare accordingly.

Dennis Rodman saves the World (sponsored by PotCoin)

Dennis Rodman is headed to North Korea to set himself up for a Nobel Peace Prize by smokin’ sweet Ganja with Kim Jong Un. Sponsoring the whole event is PotCoin, a digital cryptocurrency created solely for buying and selling cannabis.

PotCoin (POT) is a decentralised, open-source cryptocurrency forked from Litecoin in January 2014. It was created with the goal of becoming the standard form of payment for the legalised marijuana industry. Technically, PotCoin is almost identical to Litecoin, with just a few differences: a shorter block generation time, quicker halving schedule, and a higher maximum number of coins. As a result of its name and nature, the cryptocurrency attracted a fair amount of attention in mainstream media and, unlike most cryptocurrencies, PotCoin was deemed sufficiently notable to keep a Wikipedia page.

PotCoin price is up 90% (and rising) since the news hit yesterday. Here is the PotCoin chart overnight since the story hit mainstream media.

Also from the Gizmodo article:

But even more bizarrely, Rodman has hinted that he’s setting up a backchannel for Donald Trump to speak with Kim Jong-un. And people are taking the possibility very seriously, considering that Dennis Rodman is the only mutual friend between the two world leaders. Seriously.

Seems surreal right? Well it’s also our best shot at bringing Kim Jong Un to the negotiating table and PotCoin just put themselves on the world stage. This is a masterstroke of PR genius by PotCoin with the added benefit of possibly opening the door to US and North Korea negotiations.

420 brah.
