Bitcoin & Cryptos

Back in 2011, Bitcoin was worth less than 1 dollar and was dismissed as a niche interest of a few techno-geeks that would never catch on.

Fast forward a few years and now Bitcoin is worth thousands of dollars and is entering the mainstream. Major companies like Subway, Microsoft, Expedia and Whole Foods accept it as a form of payment. Japan has even declared Bitcoin as legal tender!

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies offer major benefits over traditional forms of currency. Bitcoin is not controlled by any bank, government or corporation and is therefore not open to manipulation. It allows a direct transaction between two people or organisations without a third party like a bank, Western Union or Paypal. That means there are no fees to pay and transactions are much faster, particularly for international transactions. It also allows for greater privacy.

Some people see Bitcoin as the “new gold” – a potential stable store of value against which other currencies could be valued. We have not reached that stage yet – but that is not to say it couldn’t happen at some point in the future.

ICOs – or Initial Coin Offerings – are issuances of new coin entering the market. They are like IPOs for companies entering the stock market. There are new ICOs all the time and some have done very well, whilst others have been not much more than hype and speculation. We will take you through the latest upcoming ICOs, providing full details on what is on offer.

Some cryptocurrencies have done amazingly well in recent years, increasing 1000s of % and more and making fortunes for lucky investors. This has inevitably led to the growth of various trading systems and strategies around cryptocurrencies.
