Many of us whom have been trading crypto for a while now with focus on increasing our bitcoin holdings, have started to pay serious attention to the civil war, and the FUD surrounding the future of what we all at some point believed in so dearly.
Bitcoin came with a message of hope. Technology that would allow people anywhere to undermine the banksters and provided a way out of central authority issued fiat.
In the case of Venezuela, Zimbabwe, or Turkey, that means a way out of the hyperinflation which countries like those, and many others impose, and force their citizens to endure by simply holding local fiat, and using it to transact in their daily lives.
This happens with all National central fiat money, in some nations more obviously than others.
Now that bitcoin has gained global attention and every news outlet in the world has run headlines about the price of bitcoin and its epic rise in 2017, more serious headlines are starting to surface.
Is it just a case of the seasonal FUD to bring the BTC price down?
1 last time before we see exponential growth again?
Are the recent events and obscure information about Bitcoin, and Bitcoin cash, causing concern? Or is it just part of having free healthy com petition?
It has become very difficult to understand or predict the value of bitcoin. It is even more difficult to assess the intentions of the developers whom have dedicated years and endured criticism and brought bitcoin to where it is today, partly because they have the same amount of bitcoin cash, and partly because they are not clarifying their positions publicly. Which granted! is their personal choice.
We are witnessing a major conflict amongst the most influential characters in the bitcoin circles. This is not only dangerous, but it raises serious questions.
Is this about money? Didn’t they all get a big bonus from all the forks? Is there more going on than meets the eye?
What can this be about? Is bitcoin compromised? Has it become a weapon for the information giants, and security agencies to rope in dirty money? Is it the NSA keeping tabs on everything in some huge conspiracy to control all crypto?
Is Satoshi Nakamoto, human? AI maybe?
Does anyone really care about privacy, and decentralization?
Has everyone who has bitcoin got too fat already and dropped the cause?
Is the support for xrp coming from the establishment or banks? or from the trading community?
Recently, taking a swing at the champ has become trendy, bitcoin cash took the spotlight for a short period and may still have some fight left. Xrp is getting a lot of hype and some have suggested that it will take a shot at the belt. But serious newcomers have been training hard and they seem to have some serious new moves and a lot of muscle.
RAIDA http://cloudcoin.global/hidra.html seems very confident about their allegedly superior technology. Will it be the next champion of cryptos? Or is it another altcoin with childish fantasies?
We may soon see a growing number of challengers to the Heavy weight champion of the world, the first cryptocurrency, the daddy of all alts, the bringer of the first blockchain, the undefeated, The one and only, Bitcoin.
Over 1300 active altcoins to chose from, everything blockchain and DAG related is now in cryptoland.
Some of these technologies are very interesting and have serious projects behind them. I have been working on a very special project, with some very talented people, most of whom, I’ve never met, my focus was keeping me away from the daily research I had become so used to for a little, But recently, with the help of Truly innovative and empowering technologies I’ve plugged back into the crypto matrix , and this time, things are not quite the same as before.
Cryptoland is a battlefield, and the Vanguard are coming…. Stay tuned...
Thanks a lot for your comments and taking the time to read this post. I look forward to your opinions.
