Bitcoin core/legacy hit $6500 today, or actually right now, as we speak. I have been talking about $6800 before Christmas, but at this point anything can happen really. $5000 or $10000 - before Christmas. That's right.
But if we look at the combined value of Bitcoin core/legacy (BTC) and it's forks and soon to be forked coins, the price actually just hit over $8000USD
let's look at the prices as of right now according to coinmarketcap.com
Bitcoin Core (BTC) $6520
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) $495
Bitcoin Gold (BTG futures) $152
Segwit2x futures(B2X) $1165
Bitcoin Silver (BTCS) $0,02
Total price: $8330USD
Does $10,000USD really sound so impossible short term now you think?
I don't think so.
Great news lately has come out as CME has decided to issue trading on Bitcoin Futures. CME, an American financial market company operating the world's largest options and futures exchange. It owns and operates large derivatives and futures exchanges in Chicago and New York and London. It also OWNS the Dow Jones stock and financial indexes.
And we are still speculating if China will allow Bitcoin exchanges again.
In other and insignificant news that Bitcoin doesn't give a shit about is that the banana republic of Vietnam bans Bitcoin. Too bad they are not interested in seeing their own people prosper in wealth and competition. What their retarded leaders don't understand is that that's the only consequence. Idiots.
