Verge has the highest gain, omg people will never learn.
Good info. Thanks for all the information
I make it a habit to look upon your blog to see some latest news about crypto. It is viewer friendly and can easily read through each. The statistics is easily understood even by a newbie in crypto. Thanks providing a value always @penguinpablo
As always it is great to have these news updates from you @Penguinpablo
Let them coming :)
When was the last time we’ve seen so much green? It’s going to be exciting to see what happens over the next few years when these types of moves can come in such a short period of time! Thanks for the update!
The future is incredible.
When Lambo?
true that, now we just sit back and relax.
Crypto prices mooning is a sight to see. Hope this upward trajectory continues.
I am amazed that big corporation like Samsung is now pushing to develop ASIC tech and products. There seems to be a huge demand for it. How much further until we see ASIC tech be obsolete and proof of stake/delegation is the way to go is still in question.
Yup there is something oddly satisfying about watching a green candle grow bigger and bigger on a chart really quickly... lol
I am happy with the investment that I made in bitcoin I think it will do well.
I am very glad everything is blooming again! Hope it will keep going up! Steem to the moon :)
yeah loves greenry in graph
Finally bitcoin came on the track..a great sign.
EOS is steadily climbing the rankings. When it launches in June it could well rocket!!
This has been a pretty good couple of days (so far) in the land of Bitcoin and all things crypto. Even my Binance account is covered in green! Will this last long? I think that we have been able to climb out of that 3 month long dip finally, but there might be a little more work to do before we see some nice big numbers. I think that by the middle of the summer into the fall we are going to be experiencing something enormous!
Love the baby pic :)
-Respect
Thanks for the update but I really need to stop looking at Crypto Prices.
On the one hand if I do not continue to follow the space I will miss the next big thing but on the other hand I hope that my whole Crypto portfolio rises in value over the next several years. It is a dilemma.
Need more etf options so that I can just put x$ in per month and forget about it using the coffee can investing approach. Haha.
Coinbase allows you to set weekly buys / sells, you'd just want to move the coins off to your own private wallet once a month or so
I try to think like a venture capitalist. I've tried trading, I've only lost money. But buying and hodling long term, that's what really makes you rich! Assuming your not invested in a total shit coin of course.
Thanks for sharing, upvoted and resteemed
Bitcoin is correlated with gold. When gold rises, digital gold rises as well.
folks are a number of bloody charts. We hold gotten shot especially strict in the month to court chart. I wouldn't be bothered to picture it last to contract achieve for an added month or two. I'm looking for nearly gains towards the side of the summer. We're in a consolidation chapter righteous at the moment and the after that wave up might join at uniform privileged prices. I set up on business weekly through the bottom of the year. Looking brazen to the surplus of 2018! gratitude for the update!
Beautiful news
Those are some bloody charts. We have gotten hit really hard in the month to date chart. I wouldn't mind to see it continue to get hit for another month or two. I'm looking for some gains towards the end of the summer. We're in a consolidation phase right now and the next wave up could consolidate at even higher prices. I plan on buying weekly through the end of the year. Looking forward to the rest of 2018! Thanks for the update!

Bitcoin needs to close above $9,200 to confirm an uptrend. The resurgence out of a falling wedge does NOT mean its a confirmed reversal. A break-out of a falling wedge can occur several times while making lower lows (while you keep adjusting the trendlines).
Basically it is not a reliable reversal pattern. Not to be a FUD spreader, but as soon as everyone starts saying the bull run is here and FOMO's, the whales will dump on you. I hope I am wrong BTW, but there is no CLEAR direction as yet!
Up is good 🚀🚀🚀🚀
this baby looking so nice..nice post..good job carry on
Beware of OTC sales of bitcoin to big money. Their purchases are not on exchanges so we cannot see the increase in volume...
Is it possible to know who is strong buying?
I mean, if buying action is concentrated in one or a few buyers?
It looks quite well for crypto today!
Upvoted and follow you. Please follow me back.
We can't confirm trend reversal until it crosses moving average red line.
If it successfully crosses red line then there is trend reversal.
Hmmm... I wonder how much my few Satoshis (from faucets) will be worth if Bitcoin gets to $250K.
Thanks for this post.
boom boom
Gracias por la información buena grafica las crypto en recuperacio
Finally the companies will go to use the cryptocurrencies.
The currency is fluctuating.

It’s good this way, the Bitcoin will soon hit the sky, thanks
@penguinpablo for always keeping us abreast on new developments we appreciate your tremendous work so far. Best of regards
Thanks for this, I look forward to your stats each day.
Bit slower day than yesterday but still a good day, bullish all the way.
I just worked out the average % increase across all 121 cryptos on Binance. The mean was +2.73% for the last 24h
If we keep getting days like this I might be able to give up my job and live off my day trading a lot sooner than I thought.
To put it into perspective... Starting off with $2,000 to play with, if you managed to make 2% - 3% profit every day and you added all profits back into your daily trades, you would make well over a million in just 6 months. Thats crazy! HaHa God, I love crypto
I hope this is the end of downturn. I've been waiting with Not-selling so far to keep the amount.
Wow! All green! I love it! =D
Your charts are of very high quality. Do you design them yourself? Or do you use a certain software?
Question from a designer.
Thanks @penguinpablo it feels like we are nearing the end of this correction cycle. Here's hoping for new highs soon!
Thanks for the updates @penguinpablo.
The green market is bringing back hope to everyone who believes in Cryptos. I know some Steemians who are already losing hope. Enduring bear markets in the crypto market isn't really a business for everyone.
I believe after some corrections, the only place for the top cryptos to go is up!
Bitcoin at 250k in 2022 is very possible.
I hope Tim Draper is right, but I think making predictions of where Bitcoin will be as far away as 2022 is foolish. Make a prediction for where Bitcoin will be a year from now, that's more realistic. Maybe even try to predict 3 to 6 months out.
great post!
Those charts help analyze the cryptomarket and also bring some interesting thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
Very good post and thank you for sharing
