How Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies Will Change the Health Care Landscape

blockchainThe first great frontier for blockchain technology was the financial technology industry. There, it has had varying successes ranging from major advantages like the bitcoin loophole system to great issues like the volatility of cryptocurrency prices.

No Outside Influence

When it comes down to it, most currencies are overcontrolled by outside factors. The United States Dollar is commonly manipulated by third-party and the government. This can make it very dangerous to be an investor in the USD. This is far different with cryptos. These currencies are actually decentralized. This means that the currencies are completely free of governmental control. The transactions are open source too. This means that there are no third-parties to regulate the currencies. The only thing that will influence the coin is the peer-to-peer sharing network itself. Continue reading

2018 Predictions & Beyond – Almost All Positive [Video]

highGreg Hunter – Internet data mining expert Clif High says he’s “heartened by the positive nature of the information” he’s received in his latest report. Clif High uses something he calls “Predictive Linguistics,” which sorts through billions of bits of information to predict future trends and events.

One of many big predictions Clif High made several months ago involved sexual misconduct would be revealed, especially in the mainstream media.  So, are the sexual misconduct revelations over?  Clif High says, “No, the part we saw in 2017 was kind of like the titles.  We’ve got the main feature coming up in 2018 and in 2019.

Regulating Cryptocurrencies–and Why It Matters

CryptocurrenciesCharles Hugh Smith – There’s a great deal of confusion right now about the regulation of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. Many observers seem to confuse “regulation” and “banning bitcoin,” as if regulation amounts to outlawing bitcoin.

Further confusing things is the regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges, where cryptocurrencies are bought and sold.

In China, for example, cryptocurrencies are not outlawed, but exchanges were shut down until regulators could get a handle on how to deal with the potential for excesses such as fraud, misrepresentation, etc.

A Wild West free-for-all is conducive to scammers, and so some thoughtful regulation that protects users is to be welcomed.

Governments tax income and capital gains. This is how they fund their activities. Clearly, gains reaped from cryptocurrencies are no different from gains reaped from other speculations and investments, so they should be recorded and taxed in the same manner. Continue reading

Bitcoin, Sour Grapes and the Institutional Herd

Charles hughbitcoin Smith – If I had a bitcoin for every time some pundit declared bitcoin is a bubble, I’d be a billionaire. There are three problems with opining that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are bubblicious:

1. Everything is in a bubble now: stocks, bonds, housing, heck, even bat guano is bubblicious. Exactly what insight is being added by yet another guru repeating the BTC is a bubble meme?

2. What’s the value proposition in declaring BTC is in a bubble? Spotting bubbles is like shooting fish in a barrel; the value proposition is in identifying the price/time tipping point at which bubbles pop. Continue reading
