Bitcoin crosses $10,000. Something some people never expected to see. Some people offered to eat their left testicle if it reached this price, but they’re nowhere to be seen. Within 1 day of crossing $10,000, BTC also crossed $11,000 and reached as high as $12,000 in Japan & Korea. We can almost guarantee new regulations will emerge in coming months as BTC takes a hold of the world. This however had harsh consequences, particularly for exchanges but other systems were caught up in the trouble also.



Blockfolio has been increasingly slow due to huge traffic, leaving fears about its scalability. As many switch to Delta to track their profits, they may be forgetting that it will most likely experience the exact same problems if everyone migrates over, by which time Blockfolio will be ahead and should have recovered. Coinbase also went down, causing big problems for people who wanted to withdraw their BTC into fiat. Bitfinex crashes triggered some vicious stop losses & margin trading causing a flash crash in a number of currencies including OMG & NEO. It’s reported that OMG price fell as low as sub $2. Those who had stop losses were likely hurt most, as well as those who margin trade these altcoins.Though, I expect those with low ball buy orders did extremely well last night. For someone to win, someone has to lose. Bitstamp and GDAX also experienced problems, and went down for some time.





On 15/10/2017 we recommend ADA as our top pick. Since then it is up over 160% and shows more signs for growth. With new exchange listings, the hype continues to build. We still believe that this is one of the best long term holds on the market given its team history (Bitcoin Foundation, Ethereum Classic) and impressive technology.



Tutorials Part 1: How to protect yourself from price volatility - hedging & risk management It is quite clear that BTC becomes more and more unpredictable with even some of the greatest traditional chartists struggling to keep up or accurately identify exactly what is going on. There is no right or wrong way to invest, but we feel to lower your risk It’s important to diversify your assets. Here are a few scenarios and how they might play out: All in BTC - BTC went x10 this year. You may have earned more money just buying BTC at the beginning of the year and staying away from alts, particularly if you are not so good at trading. While the events of the past year would indicate this is low risk, there have been some horrifying BTC crashes in the past, that you should prepare yourself for even if they seem extremely unlikely. BTC has crashed over 50% at least 5 times. While this is possible to happen again, we don’t expect it will take half as long to recover given mainstream adoption increases and a cult like mindset to “Buy The Dip” has been engrained in the crypto community. Scenario: Self explanatory. If BTC drops 50% value you’ve lost 50% of your holdings. Equally.. If BTC goes 10x this year, you’ve made a comfy nest egg doing literally nothing. Solution: Hold All in Altcoins - Some alts have gone through the roof. If you all in the right coin you could change your life forever. You could also lose a lot of money as well. Let’s say BTC runs up 30% in one week like it did this week. Do you think your altcoins can keep up? “But they’re green!” Maybe they are, but you might be looking at USD value. Scenario: Even if your alts are showing green, If you look at BTC value, you may see your portfolio is actually at a loss. This is because satoshi value of your alts will need to increase considerably to keep up with an extremely bullish BTC. It’s also possible that people FOMO the BTC bull and sell their alts at a loss, to chase the BTC price increase, turning the alt market bloody. Solution: Remember to check satoshi value of your portfolio as well as your chosen currency. It’s important to do this to keep track of how much BTC you have, after all, it has identified itself as the “store of value”. Remember to spread your investments also. If you all in the wrong altcoin, you could get badly burned. Hedging - We recommend diversifying your investments so that you’re safer from volatility, and to ensure your satoshi value increases over time. While everyone invests differently, a good split might look like this: 20-50% Bitcoin 10-50% Ethereum 20-60% in Altcoins (a mixture of large market cap, medium market cap and small market cap coins. Remember to do thorough research before investing) This will help your portfolio stay buoyant during fluctuations.

You may even want to “hedge” your BTC into BTC forks, so that if they have a big run up you are in position to take profits. Though we don’t endorse Bitcoin Cash, traditional hedge funds will always invest in multiple competitors in the case that one goes up and the other goes down. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to invest. You can invest more aggressively with higher risk by taking more altcoins, particularly those with lower market caps, but we’d always recommend holding your portfolio partially in BTC and ETH. If you have suggestions of how you manage risk, and want to share them with the community, do so in Telegram, or recommend them to use directly and we may use them in a future feature!

Other Hot Picks https://Luxcoin.tech - LUX coin We’d heard a little bit about Lux the past week or so and decided to take a closer look. LUX is definitely impressive and what they set out to achieve, although is a bit less cypherpunk, should bring in big money. Luxcoin is a hybrid POW/POS currency that uses a highly efficient GPU mining algorithim making it the most GPU friendly blockchain available. For a project with its own blockchain and at such a small market cap (700,000 USD) we can almost guarantee this will be successful in the short to medium term. LUX want to create a “unilaterally beneficial” cryptocurrency that can be used by vetted institutions and government as well as retail crypto investors. We’ll explain more about this shortly.

“VeChain first established in in Q2 of 2015. Since then it has rolled out multiple smart contract templates and its VeChain smart chip, which will be used to track all products on the VeChain blockchain. The VeChain smart chip is essentially an NFC chip, RFID tracker or QR code that tracks whatever it is attached to and protects them from tampering, counterfeiting and ensures that their entire life cycle is stored securely on the blockchain. It essentially makes it easy to track, collect, and store data that otherwise had to be inputted manually with great difficulty.” - Issue 3 Rowlingstone Report Our estimation for the next 3-4 months. VeChain launch their own blockchain, perform token swap from VEN to VET.

VeChain launch economic model, information on Masternodes

VeChain announce partnerships with major luxury fashion brands & other import/export organisations who will use the technology to track their products. Keep your eyes on VeChain. It’s going to be big. We’ll catch up with our Rating for VEN when they release their economic model, and blockchain details. For now, we recommend you invest cautiously until these details are released. WaltonChain (WTC) You’ve probably heard of WaltonChain by now, and if you haven’t you’ll want to hear it’s story. In our first ever issue, we looked at WTC and why we expected it to be so successful. The following week it was up over 200% so we did a recap as to why, and looked at it in more detail. You can find the report here From sub 50 cents to $5 in a matter of weeks - WaltonChain had one of the greatest crypto runs we’ve ever seen. It actually hit an all time high of about $10 at one point and found its recent bottom at $5. It’s been a bumpy ride but those who held on or bought the lows and sold the highs were extremely successful here. To anyone who took our advice from our first ever newsletter; congratulations, and thanks for sticking around! Rating Technology: 9
