• IOTA Drops on Controversy – Could this be Temporary?

  14-12-2017 23:57 via newsbtc.com
  IOTA confirmed below a triangle chart pattern on Thursday after a Microsoft partnership misrepresentation scandal. What’s next for the new kid around the block?
  What Went Down Before
  Also called the new Bitcoin, IOTA’s market cap suddenly jumped to number 4 on the cryptocurrency list last week. Its price surged over 600% going from $1 to $5.5.
  One of the main reasons the company got so much attention was that they made us believe they are fully partnering up with Microsoft.

• Think You Can Hide Capital Gains in Alt-Coins? Think Again…

  14-12-2017 23:12 via newsbtc.com
  Those Bitcoin investors in the US who think they’re outsmarting the IRS by trading funds to other digital currencies rather than back to dollars could be in for a nasty surprise. Under GOP tax bill that is due to be voted upon next week, law makers will draw a distinction limiting “like-kind” exchanges to real estate.
  It’s been argued by some that using Bitcoin or any other digital currency to purchase a different crypto should be treated the same as a 1031 exchange. This

  14-12-2017 22:00 via newsbtc.com
  For the spoiled ATM culture accustomed to immediate gratification, exchanging cryptocurrencies is a time-consuming headache. Before the launch of cryptocurrency ATMs, digital money users had few other options since traditional banks and exchanges do not distribute the digital currency.
  Yet with less than 2,000 crypto ATMs sprinkled across the globe, many cryptocurrency traders are still running around the crypto exchange world fully exposed, or naked in the trading parlance. A naked trader is un

  The top brass at one of the UK’s leading financial regulators has given a stark warning to those investing in Bitcoin. Andrew Bailey of the Financial Conduct Authority said that people who had bought Bitcoin better be prepared to “lose all their money”. Presumably, he meant just the portion that they’d invested in cryptocurrency, however.
  For Bailey, without central banking, or government backing, there was nothing at all to suggest that Bitcoin was a secure investment. H

• Ethereum Analysis December 15, 2017

  14-12-2017 15:48 via newsbtc.com
  ETH/USDEthereum fell later in the day on Thursday, reaching down towards the $670 level. I think that the market looks likely to try and find support near the $650 level, and if it cannot find it there, we will see support at the $600 level. Be patient, and add to a position very slowly.
   
  ETH/BTCThe 0.04 level has offered support in the ETH/BTC pair, but I think we may have a little bit more softness ahead of us. I think you can start to look at the BTC/USD pair for guidance, but quite fra

  14-12-2017 15:41 via newsbtc.com
  DASH/USDDASH continues to be very volatile, as we have recently broken above the vital $800 level. As we pull back, I believe we are trying to form a bit of an uptrend in channel, eventually building up enough momentum to break above the vital $1000 level. Look for $800 to offer support.
   
  LTC/USDLitecoin has pulled back rather significantly, and quite frankly it has been overdone. However, on the hourly chart it looks as if we are starting to cross over in the oversold area, so we may see

  BTC/USDBitcoin is relatively flat yet again during the trading session on Thursday, as we are using $16,000 as support. I think that eventually we will get a little bit of a pullback, but that should be a “buy on the dip” type of opportunity. Adding slowly is probably the best advice I can give, as we are clearly starting to lose momentum after the futures market opened.
