BTC has risen in five days from $6000 to $8760 and this thing people are calling a crash appears to be over now.
In truth it wasn't a crash at, because when you stand back and look at the bigger picture what you can see is that this marketplace continues to expand every year. And each Bitcoin 'crash' takes us to a higher value than the previous.
Do you know of any (tried & tested) cryptocurrencies which are worth less now than they were a year ago? I don't.
I have however heard of a dying banking system which charges you for the privilege of holding your money (doing whatever they want with it) whilst guaranteeing a decline in value each year.
The main currency we make here on Steemit has gone from $0.07 to $4 since I started using it and it has been 3 years since I last used a bank.
Become your own bank. Start using CRYPTO
I posted the above message on Facebook as a very rare update for my old followers. I have been asked by a few of them (who clearly believe everything they read) what it feels like to lose all my money! Haha. Hopefully this message will help them understand the bigger picture.
Those of us who can see the wood from the trees & are ready to embrace this change should currently be positioning ourselves for the 2018 crypto feeding frenzy.
The thing about being our own bank is that we need to be a little more organised than we were before...
'Banking' tips to come
I am learning very quickly now that I am part of a crypto trading group and I would like to share some of what I am learning with the rest of you.
As such, I am constructing my first post now to give you my tips on security, which seems to me to be one of the most important things in this game. I believe I have created a 100% foolproof system which can NEVER be cracked... except under torture ;)
