Bitcoin peaked about a month ago, on December 17, at a high of nearly $20,000. As I write, the cryptocurrency is under $11,000… a loss of about 45%. That’s more than $150 billion in lost market cap.

It’s neck-and-neck, but I think the “I-told-you-so” crowd has the edge over the “excuse-makers.” Here’s the thing: Unless you just lost your shirt on bitcoin, this doesn’t matter at all. And chances are, the “experts” you may see in the press aren’t telling you why. In fact, bitcoin’s crash is wonderful… because it…

On the other hand, the longer term cryptocurrency-outlook is somewhat of a blur. There are squabbles of lack of progress among its core developers which make it less alluring as a long term investment and as a system of payment. Bitcoin Still the most popular, Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency that started all of it. It is currently the biggest market cap at around $41…

Here is a question that comes up often: How do I choose which crypto currency to invest in – aren’t they all the same? There is no doubt that Bitcoin has captured the lion’s share of the crypto currency (CC) market, and that is largely due to its FAME. This phenomenon is much like what is happening in national politics around the world, where a candidate captures the majority of votes based on FAME, rather than any proven abilities or qualifications to govern a nation. Bitcoin is the pioneer in this market space and continues to garner almost all of…
