There is a growing trend of using credit cards in place of cash. This is surprising given the fees and usability for credit cards for small payments. Many of us know that using credit cards online or in retail businesses is a poor experience and the experience is only getting worse. Do you swipe or use the chip? Do you …

Mayer Multiple for Bitcoin Cash

Ask 100 market analysts when to buy or sell a Cryptocurrency and you’ll get 100 different answers. Some methods of valuation are better than others. One simple method I like is called the Mayer Multiple (MM). Trace Mayer is the man behind the Mayer Multiple but it’s on The Investor Podcast site where they’ve taken this metric to a new …

Crypto is super weird right now. Bitcoin Cash is headed towards a critical moment. Summarizing from the highest levels there is a disagreement about future features to be implemented in November.

December 2017 was gluttony. I am a crypto bull and I was annoyed by the prancing lambo moon soyboys in spacecat t shirts and …

BTFD in Crypto?

I sold more EOS for BCH this past week and added to my fiat. I didn’t like the uncertainty in the charts. Crypto was dancing on the edge of a razor blade. BCH was on critical support at ~$1200. It held for days (unusual in Crypto). I was waiting for confirmation if this was accumulation or distribution. BTC is breaking …

Here’s Some Crypto TA

First, a palate cleanser: Of the 1600 coins on coinmarketcap 733 are only tokens. In other words, no blockchain. Basically, they are a whitepaper and a website. pic.twitter.com/nOZVPl1LD7 — Coinspeak (@coinspeak_io) May 10, 2018 Bear case on BTC: Be careful if BTC rally fails around 9600. It's all still range bound between 8600 and 10k. pic.twitter.com/UHZFaWeFWz — Coinspeak (@coinspeak_io) May …
