Bitcoin IS the New Gold

In celebration of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) launch of two new bitcoin indexes (BRR & BRTI), FintekNews is comparing the price of bitcoin and gold on a daily basis.

Trading Notes for Tuesday, 2/23/17:

  • Back to normal; Bitcoin UP, Gold DOWN
  • Bitcoin less than $100 away from all time high Mt Cox single market ($1242) before collapse
  • Bitcoin ready to take them all out...........target $1400-$1450
  • Gold going along for the ride...........right at $1250 psychological/technical resistance
  • Remember, gold is a 'hedge' against bitcoin downside........surprised me today with big move
  • Six month return on position (LONG Bitcoin/SHORT Gold) now 108.4%, bitcoin alone 101%
  • Bitcoin buyers can look for price explosion
