It was less than a week ago that we posted, “Bitcoin Smashes Through $10k... Wait... $11k! What The Fk Is Going On?”
Now, in the last 24 hours, it has smashed through $12k, then $13k and now $14k to a new all-time high over $14,200.
So, it is time to update this table:
$0000 - $1000: 1789 days
$1000- $2000: 1271 days
$2000- $3000: 23 days
$3000- $4000: 62 days
$4000- $5000: 61 days
$5000- $6000: 8 days
$6000- $7000: 13 days
$7000- $8000: 14 days
$8000- $9000: 9 days
$9000-$10000: 2 days
$10000-$11000: <1 day
$11000-$12000: 6 days
$12,000-$13,000: 19 hours
$13,000-$14,000: 2 hours
Since hitting $6,000, it has only taken a total of 46 days to more than double and surpass $14,000.
And cryptocurrencies as a whole now sit on the cusp of a $400 billion valuation. Or, nearly half a trillion dollars!
The central banking cartel continues to send out their puppets into the mainstream media they control, but that nobody watches anymore, to try to tame this tiger.
Today it was Alan Greenspan!
The former Federal Reserve Chairman mentioned in a CNBC interview on Wednesday that bitcoin reminded him of the currency issued during America's Colonial past that ultimately proved worthless called “Continental money” which was a fiat currency that was declared legal tender by the Continental Congress. It was not backed by gold or silver.
In 1775, the Continental currency, like all fiat currencies, allowed George Washington to finance the war, but seven years later in 1782, it became worthless as it was continually issued and ultimately collapsed in value as all fiat does.
Of course, bitcoin is finite and is not declared to be legal tender by government which is precisely why it cannot be considered fiat - it is not inflationary nor is it forced on people with violence. Likewise, it is backed by proof-of-work and cryptography, which differs from the continental currency in that the early colonial fiat was backed by nothing more than governmental decree.
One of the most accurate and intelligent quotes ever spoken by Thomas Jefferson who experienced the continental currency’s collapse first-hand was:
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
Although this quote is disputed as possibly not being legitimate and was aimed at Americans, it’s accurate for any country that has a central bank - which is nearly every country in the world.
For the first time in a long time, the people of the world are beginning to take back the power to issue their own currency. In this case, they are bringing it into existence through solving complex mathematical algorithms.
And here at TDV, we identified the potential for bitcoin since 2011 when it was trading at just $3.
Meanwhile, Peter Schill, whose family is very connected to the Rothschilds agreed with Alan Greenspan today, continuing Peter’s unblemished record of being wrong on bitcoin since it was in the double digits.
We’ve been right on cryptos since the beginning and made, so far, 460,000% gains on bitcoin since recommending it at $3 in 2011.

The Continental currency was created by central banks, forced upon people by government violence and financed war and eventually went to zero as all fiat currencies do.
Bitcoin has no central bank, isn’t forced upon people via violence and due to its non-inflationary nature, cannot be used to finance war. Because of all these benefits, not only will it not go to zero… but many are wondering if it will eventually be worth more than $1 million dollars in today’s dollars.
At the rate it is going, rising $3,000 per day, it wouldn’t take very long to get there!
End the Fed. Buy crypto. =)
Completely agree.
It's called a bubble.
Wait for it to pop, then buy back in when it's cheap and hope for it to grow again...
Maybe its time to announce to take profits. You know Jeff if it rises to fast its not to good. But all sellwalls get burned by the bull. I think if we hit 20k it will be in the news again. And more will buy. But i will not sell sorry. I am a hodler. But this speed is even for me to much. Getting profits in one day what i had to work for the whole year. I am ready for the blood bath! Hodl.
I'm HODL-ing as well. "No one" knows what will happen.
higher the grow, greater the fall.
Some other coin will take over eventually, but NONE of them are ready for prime time, so far as I can tell. BTC might prevail if they can get Lightning going, fully adopted, and it actually works as promised.

He must be older than he looks!!
Seriously though, btc has gone up dramatically over the past few months. The question is, will the introduction of futures continue the rise or result in a large drop as institutions short it?
Im gonna guess both. spikes and drops.
Derivatives are useful for debt based wall st. instruments. Bitcoin supply is capped. Seems it will be difficult to implement the manipulation and scamming ops the financial parasites run as they attack Bitcoin.
That is what your hallucination would say, inside your head.
Very vague post absent logic. Please elaborate your position so we can understand please.
I still struggle to understand how futures will function is such a deregulated market. For example, if the price drops by 20% trading won’t be suspended. It may be suspended on the futures exchange but everywhere else the price could fall by a further 50% or recover and gain 50%. It would just mean those holding futures could only hedge elsewhere!
I just hope the adage "what goes up must come down" isn't too severe for bitcoin.
As an Economist and State Inspector under Ministry of Finance I'm doing researches almost 6 months about bitcoin and this is what I come up with:
The more you wait and don't join, the more you lose.
Knock yourself out. You'll be a millionaire by Christmas :D
What else can you share about your research, please?
I will publish an article about my researches very soon.
Sounds interesting. Where can it be found?

This quote applies especially to my continent Africa.
It is so unfortunate people in Africa believe so much in mainstream media that they(we) always miss out.
It is good we(Africa) have a community on Steemit that keeps spreading this great news to others....Go go Steemit...
It happens everywhere not just Africa, compare the content on steemit to a newspaper.
I had to speak relative to my community hehehe.........
Your use of the "Continental Currency" is incomplete to say the least. Their is a great lesson to be learned about the actual historical context regarding it that is very timely in the current day's dialogue regarding money. Here's a great piece on what likely really happened.
https://www.peakprosperity.com/forum/hidden-history-according-benjamin-franklin-real-reason-revolutionary-war-has-been-hid-you/4358
The same tactics used back then by the Bank of England and the "Crown" are well known, and we can see that in the context of the debate on money and currency today surrounding crypto currency, there will be "counterfeiters" in this space. Fortunately due to the immutability of the Bitcoin block and extreme constraints built into the code itself, the powers that be will only be able to attack and propose "alt" coins to confuse the masses, create "forks" and diversions etc.. Good luck to everyone that's riding this horse.
Thank you for all your hard work & effort Jeff!
Lets see it go ALL the WAY UP!✌
#Anarchapulco2018 will be amazing!
Fuck the banking cartel.
Ride the cryptos and bring down the evil empire.
You're the man, Jeff!
But But BUt its just a scam......lol.... sure it is.....
All those profits, and there are a lot of them, will get transferred into real money, gold and silver. Just be patient. Maybe not all. I can hear the thunder of the herd coming.
Not very long till we hit the 100,000 mark! This is interesting.
It's the futures trade. They are about to start so people are accumulating Bitcoin!
According to the last 10 hours, if you don't own it, you're smart!
I have turned to ETH when Bitcoin was on the edge of glory two days ago I guess and made some profit with that :) I am curious what is next
Thanks for sharing. In your post you mentioned 460,000% gains on bitcoin since 2011. It should be interesting to see how rapidly the growth will be in the near future.
Banks do not want bitcoin to grow but it keeps growing among bad sharks.
In my case it is the same, I try to grow between very bad sharks, but just as bitcoin does, I will try to do it too.
I wish you success and that you continue to go super well
Bitcoin has the special sauce today. It's on a dip right now. All Aboard!
The [digital currency] market cap is $370B, which is higher than the market cap of JPMorgan."
.@bgarlinghouse on stage at @mitcnc's "Blockchain, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and ICO" panel.
Hey Jeff,
Super interesting take as always!
Can you speculate a little bit on any coming pullbacks on the price of Bitcoin?
Are there any dips on the horizon for people that haven't simply pilled into bitcoin with all this volatility to get in on some of the action?
I'm asking because I currently need to send some money from China to some folks back home, and I'd love to buy it and hold it for a while before exchanging it back for fiat...
The problem is, everytime in the past I bought and held bitcoin, I ended up losing huge amounts of money...
Well that was all before 2017 :P
Is that risk of buying and holding bitcoin and losing significants amount of money simply gone?
Would I be the biggest sucker ever to buy at current price when it's just about to come down a couple thousand dollars?
I can't find ANY rational information and the whole thing just seems like a huge speculation and gambling fiasco, two things I'm really not hot on since I have that aforementioned terrible luck with exposure to crypto.
(I've made a lot using crypto, never made anything holding it)
Thanks a lot for any info or advice you might have my brother
Best

This is a direct actionable measurement of people's awareness of the scam that is the fiat currency that is violently forced upon us.
Just saw the 15k barrier being broken
When will it drop and how hard will it drop, and then how long will it take to reach and surpass these highs again. It will reach them again after crashing, so I'm not worried, I'm just curious. And how many people will panic too? Oh, dear.
There was a song in hip hop...now drop, now drop, now drop! Or something like that. I'd change that to "Don't drop!" lol
One question, are Central Banks buying Bitcoin? They're buying everything else!
Re: "This Is Getting Ridiculous!" - sure, because it is a BUBBLE! It is that simple.

Not sure I like it when the dolls vigilante says "this is getting ridiculous." The price rise doesn't surprise me at all with the coverage BTC is gettin' on "Lamestream." I mean look at all the talk of all the people pulling out all the equity in their homes to buy in? We ain't seen nothin' yet. I love this morning as Kramer was talkin' about how there's not enough sellers vs buyers and that ultimately this is what would hurt BTC considering there are only gonna be 21 million total? I smiled and just thought fractions/ to the moon..............
I got to know you from steemit, for over a year now... At start to be honest I didn't really like you man. I thought you are just a greedy leach, over the time you changed my mind. I am glad you keep posting around here and through your posts you made me to get and now you better, changing my opinion towards you. Do you. you are doing great.
And right now it’s about to soar through $17,000. What a great time to be alive.

You just cant stop the hype!
