Welcome To The New BitStew - 2017 Style

There is no possible way to summarize the last two months of the CryptoCurrency arena - other than to say - who knows where this is all going. First, after the fork, Bitcoin rose to 5,000 USD...only to fall to under 3000 a few days (weeks later) - only to rise again......China has stepped in...banning ICO's (initial coin offerings to raise cash for companies based on the blockchain tech....and then banning exchanges. Some say it is to keep the Bitcoin profits of the miners within the border of China...one never knows. Meanwhile, Bitcoin itself seems headed for yet another hard fork in a matter of weeks - and the "camps" for the existing versions already...leave a bit to be desired as far as motives....and what about Bitcoin Cash?...said to be the real bitcoin by some real power-players...what happens if the Bitcoin mystic de-materializes?

Regardless of how impossible it is to review two months of changes to the blockchain tech and it's adaption and rebuff my the mainstream...below you will find many Bitcoin links that attempt to bring you up to date in a sense at least...you will also find many links of a NON Bitcoin nature...you may want to bookmark Bit-Stew...it has a lot for you.

The Powers That Be Will Never Suggest Busting The System

-----------------------

While China has closed its exchanges... Japan just ENDORSED 11 of them for it's citizens to be at the forefront of Crypto.

------------------------

Meanwhile Dubai will become the first nation to issue its OWN crypto coin...for payment of government services. Hmm. The link also points out that some property is now being sold in Dubai priced in Bitcoin for payment.

-----------------

Hey...forget countries getting involved in Crypto..how about the real power players ... like McDonald's who is now teasing that they may be taking the coin that Jamie Diamond hates...

==============

From the above...you'd think that all is rosy in the Bitcoin garden right?....hardly...here's a very LONG (but worth it) detailed Reddit read that will totally shake your confidence that the value of Bitcoin will rise forever...as it is now close to be being controlled by some not so cool forces...you decide. 

-----------------------

Speaking of forces not under control...as you know...the MSM (mainstream media) has had a hard hard time "explaining" the motives of the Las Vegas shooter last week...let's devolve into some of the conspiracy stuff out there.... such as this link about what a couple of Australians claim to have seen...

-----------------------------

Here's another take on the 2nd Gunman idea from NBC and here's the "down the rabbit hole" link for you of the best of 16 Questions about the shooting that the MSM leaves best untouched generally. Tons of links to other theories on that last link to check out.
Speaking Of Being Spoon Fed Our Truths

---------------------------

Speaking of theories...you ever hear the one about ELVIS and aliens? Didn't think so.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I think that will do for today...please bookmark and return for more...and again...the archive...will keep you busy the rest of the hour...give it a shot.

37,000 Trading Cryptos Crash Poloniex - Shake Market Confidence

As the Tulip Mania begins to take hold - will any exchange be able to handle the trading? Already the seams seem to be busting at Polo...the number one trading company in America for full Crypto trading. Already several times within the past week the site went down for hours - not allowing - seemingly - anyone to trade (one has to wonder is it executing huge simultaneous sell orders? - is this how long it takes to settle the trades and margins?) - causing many to lose small fortunes in their opinion.....There has been a ton of news in the now overly hot crypto world. Hold on tight?
===============================================

Bitcoin And Blockchain Reads

Following in the footsteps of Japan - Australia, starting July 1st, will treat Bitcoin Like Money. Don't be the last to own bitcoin, the train is leaving the station. Oh...Japan is about to start offering a fixed rate of interest..considerably higher than the standard rate...for depositing Bitcoin and (I assume) allowing them to hold it for up to a Year - the article notes how close Japan is to retail adoption of Bitcoin.

-------------------------

Crypto coin DASH has hired more top developers bringing it's team to 20 - meanwhile..through a new partnership - DASH can be traded into and out of 20 Fiat Currencies - sounds like a coin with a plan and real business.

---------------------------------

One of the many fast growing coin marketcaps this past month has been for the STEEM platform - This Post At Steemit, a winner - tells of the many many ways you can already use that Cryptocurrency.

---------------------------------

Seems another China/USA partnership in the Crypto world could mean big changes...to mining even - BitPay and BItMain are partnering up. Interesting mix.

----------------------------------------

Yes...there are Facebook Crypto Pages find one find many.

=======================

One of the best ways to make BTC is by investing in ICO's of blockchain start-ups - which are coming out of the woodwork like there is no tomorrow - it's important to have a Cyber Fund Radar - invest wisely.

-----------------------------------------

As you know..the smart money likes to invest in currencies that are stronger ... well did you know that Bitcoin leads every fiat coinage on Earth for the past 3 years?.... The MSM will never tell you to disrupt the system..that will be up to you.

===========================

One of the classic coins getting a lot of attention of late is LiteCoin - and much of the rise is due to SegWit - find out in this piece..why it does matter.

=========================

Oh...it's not too late to MINE or to buy BITCOIN...as here's another prediction for a 3,000 target price in 2017. Remember...sign up at Coinbase using my affiliate link - https://www.coinbase.com/join/m4ever

and when the amount of bitcoin you buy exceeds 100.00 usd...you will receive 10.00 worth of FREE Bitcoin.....they do NOT give this bonus unless someone uses an affiliate link. (yes I get compensated too when you do that).

===================================

Finally, remember...Barfstew - AKA - The Crypto Revolution - has an amazing archive with lots of "playboy" non nude pictures for enjoyment. Everything safe for work...but only barely. Literally.

That said, simply go back with the page back button and you will find one great bitcoin read after another....enjoy and invest in bitcoin.

Ripple, LTC, And Others Rip Crypto A New One

This is the post on Steemit - that FINALLY convinced ME to become a bitcoin miner through Genesis Mining - It's a LONG Read - If you have an interest

Certainly the story this past month has been the unprecedented increase in volume for the Ripple coin (interestingly, the founders said very early in the year they intended to feature Ripple more)... at one time trading was so intense to cause delays and outright failures of exchanges...on Poloniex - 24 hour volumes were over 160,000 btc's at one point. Ripple has been ripe with banking business connections for some period of time. An actual business in Crypto...who woulda thought. And THEN the same thing nearly happened with LiteCoin.
===============================================

Bitcoin And Blockchain Reads

Seems the CEO Of BitPay has endorsed the SegWit activation.

-----

LiteCoin is already moving strongly the last two weeks because of potential SegWit activation.... here's a prediction for 14.00 USD - you can still make some quick cash it seems.

-----

Mass acceptance of Bitcoin is happening everyday all around the world - for example - now - Two Major Retailers In Japan are now taking it. Transactions are limited to about 900 dollars. More Japan Bitcoin news.

------

Right now...this blog has your attention...that's valuable and one Crypto coin is poised to do something about it....read about Synereo - new business models are busting loose.
-------
A man named Craig Wright...may or may not be the man (or team) to create the Bitcoin technology less than 10 years ago - now it's possible he's attracted a 300 Million Dollar Investment in up to 80 blockchain related patents. This is BIG.
--------
And, yet another voice that says by 2030 - ONE Bitcoin (currently about 1220.00) will be worth half a million - and you say you STILL don't own any? At least buy a nickle worth (about 60 bucks) someday...that Coinbase link is above remember?
==============
It takes a lot to proclaim any Crypto Currency THE coin of 2017 - but this is exactly what this article says about SYScoin.
----------------
Some...don't have such a rosy outlook on Crypto...that said, most of these coins on this list were EARLY coins that absorbed all the incoming crypto money which literally had NO where to go...now 800 coins later...a lot of early charts and before the btc explosion... looked like this Altcoin Obituaries.
