With yesterday’s LTC pump, many traders have been talking about the possibility of another moonshot. In our experience, group think generally should be approached with caution, and traders should sort out the facts on their own before making any moves. With the possibility of making or losing a significant amount of money in the game […]
It appears as if trading is slowed or suspended on BFX, after a rogue bot seemingly took over ltc/btc trading for a period of 35 minutes. The intense volume and consistent range of the trades suggests that this was not human error (unless they were wasted). The impact could be seen on the ltc/usd market, […]
In our last post, we outlined some of the shenanigans that were occurring in the LTC marketplace (specifically on BFX). A week and a half later, both bulls and bears are in tears, after some of the most extreme volatility the LTC market has seen in years. We don’t expect this volatility to die down […]
We previously outlined the coming global bail-ins, and why you should have your money in Bitcoin/crypto-currencies to protect your wealth. Freudian slip anyone? Coming soon to a country near you.

Unfortunately for traders, the only pumping bitcoin has been doing recently has been in the amount of outstanding USD swaps and margin longs on BFX. Three months of stability, […]
If you haven’t noticed the new tab at the top of our page, we launched a new segment of shitco.in today. Fiat Obituaries We look forward to documenting one of the most trans-formative shifts the world has ever seen (based on the history we are told).
A little over a week ago, Coindesk came out with an excellent article titled: How Bitcoin’s Technology Could Make Supply Chains More Transparent The piece outlines the potential future uses of bitcoin/blockchain technology, in respect to increasing transparency of supply chains (the article specifically refers to food products). If you haven’t given the article a […]
