Bitcoin new ATH at $5850, less than one day after it broke $5000
Remember the 'crazy' days when Bitcoin went up $100 per day? It was nothing compared to yesterday! Bitcoin climbed over $1,000 in 24 hours yesterday!
Should we be worried about fiat money as it is losing its value so fast?
Today in the news:
- Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), warned banks today: Cryptocurrencies Will Bring “Massive Disruptions”.
- Great news from Coinbase today: Coinbase announced it is rolling out instant purchases of bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin from U.S. bank accounts. Yet another reason why Bitcoin is surging.

Miner support for SegWit2x hard fork falls below 80%...
This is me waiting for the Bitcoin price going under $4000 to buy...
very interesting what is happening. It only took breaking that resistance at $5,000.
The big question is; Where's the next resistance level and the next 20% or 30% pull back. Or are we done with those? (I doubt that)

With this crazy sharp increases, I won't be shocked if it surpasses 7,000 three days from now. And I heard that amazon might start accepting bitcoins on October 2017. Is this gonna be it before bitcoin's price explodes to the tens of thousands?

Looking at a posdible 10k early next year.
Even if correction takes place back to 5000, it is also good time to buy and hold more.
Hello brother @penguinpablo I have a feature request for steemnow. I was interested to hear your thoughts on the idea.
This is probably shitty to ask, but it is not for me. I have a friend who started steemit account month ago and I really want him to succeed and he really writes interesting blogs. He also have never written before and he just started, so I would like you to read his post and if you like it leave an upvote and comment. I think that someone like you could motivate him to write more. I also would like it to keep it a secret.
