Bitcoin mania: Join the rush or beware the bubble?

When the Wall Street Journal runs a headline that reads Bitcoin: Even Grandma Wants In On The Action, you’re simply compelled to find out more about the stand-out cryptocurrency that is grabbing all the attention. 

For months now, Bitcoin’s rapid price swings have been prompting volatility-starved investors to join the biggest speculative boom since the dotcom fever in the 1990s. 

In the space of 24 hours this week, Bitcoin rallied to an all-time high of $11,434 before sinking as much as 21% to $9,009, having started 2017 at $968.23, according research site CoinDesk. 

The temptation to join the rush is tempered by the fear that its value is being driven purely on speculation and that the bubble is about to burst. Then John McAfee – founder of the eponymously named software – doubled down on his previous prediction and claimed this week: “I’ll eat my own d**k on national TV if Bitcoin doesn’t surpass $1 million by 2020.” 

More and more investors have chosen to set aside Bitcoin’s questionable past, for instance its use by criminal elements, and focused on the potential that it could replace gold as an investment to hold when faith ebbs in fiat currencies. 

“We now have millions of active users,” said Peter Smith, chief executive of Bitcoin services firm Blockchain.info. “We didn’t have a million last year.” 

CME Group Inc., the world’s biggest exchange group, and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are helping to pull Bitcoin from the financial periphery by exploring products based on the virtual currency. Next month CME is expected to launch a futures contract based on Bitcoin. 

They’ve witnessed the increasing number of investors and traders being drawn by Bitcoin’s volatility in a market where stocks and bonds have produced modest gains. Even technology stocks, which have rallied sharply this year, can’t compete with Bitcoin which has jumped 10-fold. 

However, Bitcoin’s growth has also attracted critics like J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. CEO James Dimon and Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett, who have argued that governments likely will ultimately crack down, crushing Bitcoin’s price.

In my opinion when selecting a broker, you must follow that the broker has fixed and low spreads which is good for the trading strategy. According to my trading experience first of all I will be looking for a broker which ensures the lowest spreads for all time in my career.
For all these reasons I select Forex4you who ensures the lowest trading spreads from 0 pips, as because the broker can affect anytime our trading certainly. I get my broker very supportive from other broker to lead an easy and comfortable trade life forever. To get the full successful experience I select this broker who have the liquidity aggregator to keep my trading competitive at all time.

I prefer lowest trading spreads as my trading strategy because I am a scalper. That’s why before broker selection I consider the lowest trading spreads for selecting them. For this reason I was looking for a regulated trading broker.  I know regulated trading broker is safe for trading.

That’s why I joined TopFX24. Because they are the most popular regulated trading broker in the market and giving me 0.9 pips spreads facility. Also they are very good in multilingual customer support. This is for 24 hours. Their active customer support helps me to lead a comfortable trading life. Their account is swap free and MT4 based. Here I am getting more than 2100 trading instruments. And also have 50 trading pairs support.

Recently the crypto currency market get so hyped I also joined them with my broker AAFX. They added BTC/USD pair in their system and soon they will also add some other popular one too. But the current bitcoin situation gets little worse. The price of this coin was 13k just two weeks ago. Now it dropped into 7.7k. So be alert before joining into this business. Soon the price may go down a little bit more.
