Going to be more upside to it as well. One report figures 70 percent of buying volume is now going through PayPal. Just wait till the media frenzy once it breaks all time high. Probably be a slight pullback, sideways for a bit and up more once a vaccine is announced and even higher once there is inevitably more stimulus from the government. Pay attention to the paypal effect on BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH. LTC has already shown a lot of upside. Closer they get to confidential transactions the more likely for improvement in price.

Don't understand it and would worry you don't know who is running things if I'm correct. How is it regulated and who is keeping the system honest.

The market regulates it as there is no centralized authority and nobody really knows who actually started bitcoin. Bitcoins are "mined" and transactions go through multiple verification nodes(blockchain) so security is unbreakable unless your password sucks. Most of the other coins are derivatives of bitcoin. Each crypto has its own framework for mining and trading.

I was getting recommendations several months ago to buy gold and silver because of the bitcoin situation. They said to do the mining took so much computer power and electricity that the whole thing would eventually be based in China where electric is cheaper. Can't imagined things going bad if China was watching the chicken house, lol.

Edit--- Also said it would be out of the individuals or even banks reach to get into but would only be for countries and nations. All above my head!

Gold and silver have been flat to trending down.

Like it or not. Digital currency is the wave of the future. Portable wealth that knows no border is how the super rich are going to be able to travel with hundreds of millions stored on microchips. We're becoming an intertwined global community and people will need to have money that can be sent across borders without government control. No government can control the bitcoin blockchain. They would have already done it if they could, same with hackers. Eventually it will be broken, that history has told us with many forms of encryption. But, when it is, the community will change to new encryption and it will again be secure.

Still don't make sense and scary you don't know who is in control and Just makes me wonder so you buy the bitcoin with what cash right? not gold or silver or a cow or fur. So if a bitcoin is so great why does someone want your American dollar, Mexican peso or Canadian looney for an encrypted number??

Gold and Silver have always been a valuable commodity since the beginning of time and will remain so. Gold can't be destroyed, even if dissolved. It can be re-solidified. Both these metals are used in so many forms of technology that they're virtually
indispensable. If you take an ounce of gold valued at $1880.60 and match it against U.S. Dollar bills of the same value, and set them both on fire, which one is left of the two? Think about it.

You don't necessarily buy bitcoin, you trade something of value for it. If you have a cow you want to sell you could price it in bitcoin.

Why does someone have to "control" money.

Who " controls" the American dollar?

Wealth IS POWER

The U.S. Govt prints money according to supply, demand, and necessity . . . The World "evaluates" it's true value.

I agree that metals definitely have value, and I dont think anyone is wrong to own them. They're a safe hedge against inflation. They just dont have as much portability as digital currency. But much less volatility though.

So if I sell one of my cows for a bitcoin or part of one how does the buyer get the cow and me the bit coin. Im guessing everyone in the deal has to recognize and except the bitcoin??

Yes, obviously everyone in the deal has to accept it. If you sell a cow for bitcoin, then you can use the bitcoin to buy from someone who accepts bitcoin. Just like if you sold a cow for gold or pesos, you would then have to find someone to accept gold or pesos in order to spend it. It's another form of money.

If you think the government "controls " the dollar, and that's a good thing, you must be unfamiliar with the Federal Reserve.
