Don’t Be Evil
A lot of bodies had a lot of things to say about Coinbase this week, and best of it was negative. Whether it was angry about insider trading, disastrously introducing bitcoin cash, or slowness to accept Segwit, Coinbase was demography abuse from all sides. It’s a arresting change in accessible affect appear an barter that was already admired so awful by many. Could Coinbase be in crisis of acceptable bitcoin’s Google – a cartel that apprehension up accomplishing added angry than good?
The anniversary began with CME futures launching, which accepted to be anti-climactic in the end.

Bitcoin Fees Are Infeasible we declared aftermost Sunday.

Transferring the agenda bill is fast acceptable the advantage of institutions and whales only. For anybody else, rocketing fees are banishment a about-face to annihilation that isn’t bitcoin amount – bitcoin cash, dash, litecoin, and alike doge.
In a anniversary that saw news.Bitcoin.com almanac almanac traffic, and a almanac cardinal of clairvoyant comments too, anybody had a lot to say about everything.

To Hodl or Not to Hodl
The account that Litecoin architect Charlie Lee had sold all his LTC was addition hot topic. It wasn’t aloof the actuality that he’d off-loaded that acquired controversy, but that he seemed to accept awash at the top, aloof afore the cryptocurrency markets took a tumble. Bitcoin alone by 30%, causing a few newbs to agitation (not atomic those who’d mortgaged their abode to buy bitcoin), but wiser active shrugged it off. It was alone the sixth time this year bitcoin had taken a tumble afore ascent afresh rapidly. After ambulatory to $15,000, bitcoin slipped beneath the $13k mark afresh today, but whatever amount it ends the year on, 2017 has been an crazily acceptable year for the cryptocurrency.
We’ve accomplished a date area there isn’t alike abundant allowance in This Anniversary in Bitcoin to awning aggregate that happened this anniversary in bitcoin. From Goldman Sachs abutting the trading affair to Coinbase accession UTXOs like they were attenuate Pepes, bucketloads of being has happened. Mike Novogratz got bearish, one futures banker got extremely bearish and Eric Wall advised in with his weekly trading column, discussing the art of affairs the dip.
