Uhhhhh no. All stocks do not have a limited supply of shares (outstanding or otherwise) and theoretically stocks can go up forever. Or at least up till the "ink" runs out on the real phony currencies of the FED/ECB/BOE/BOJ/BOC.
"No Way To Short Bitcoin Bubble” Taleb Warns Futures Traders. I guess he's right. I expect Bitcoin could go down due to future index launching but didn't and seems will go up. http://www.gorket.com/2017/12/11/taleb-warns-futures-traders-no-way-to-short-bitcoin-bubble/
Sooo basically, bubble goes up, everyone goes out of their way to buy bitcoin, bubble pops, now everyone has insane losses and so on When BTC falls it will drag down most criptocurrencies with it Something tells me that when that happends, it's gonna take down more that just those simple currencies
You would not believe how much electricity mining equipment can consume, also that equipment tends to be expensive (Although, more than expense it's considered an investment) In fact one of the reasons not everyone mines (Other than the actual machine itself) is that the electricity bill can be higher than the amount of revenue actually generated (Depending on where you live)
Most probably. What reasons do you see for contagion at this stage? This is an asset that has a market cap of a large(r) single company (what is it, 260 yards at the moment?) and there are no leveraged players (at least not yet).
Everyone is jumping on the trend, some people even are getting into big debt in order to buy bitcoins, maybe hoping for another huge increase in cost (Which I don't really see that happening, nor do most economist anyhow) When the losses start, a bunch of people will go bankrupt and as of now, I don't think most economies can withstand that kind of losses (If you ask me, USA as unstable as now, would be one of the first and one of the worst affecteds) (Also, I can't really confirm this but i see most of the craze happening in there, probably that won't help)
Why in the heck did the CBOE initiate Bitcoin FUTURES and not Bitcoin OPTIONS ? Uh....aren't they the world's largest OPTION exchange ? And why are they front-running the CME Group's Bitcoin futures offering ? I understand that Bitcoin options are offered on other exchanges like LedgerX...but I would not trust that crumby exchange. I think the CME Group will get the majority of the activity once their Bitcoin futures contract is established.
Everyone (not really) is talking about Bitcoin. Even if they were, everyone is NOT jumping on the trend.
