Gold
and cryptocurrencies remain favorite trading markets
of our guest; investors are advised to ignore
the Bitcoin FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt).
Bitcoin
/ Altcoins represent the natural progression from
the outdated fiat model to a blockchain based
monetary system of the future.
Investors
who feel comfortable with cryptocurrencies are
directed to Bitcoin silver, aka, Ethereum (ETH),
which could continue to outperform Bitcoin.
ETH
investors should be treated to a new futures /
ETF contracts this year.
The
guest / host also concur on the energy sector;
WTIC reached the 2018 target of $70.
The
new target of $90-$100 could come to pass as soon
as 2018 on continued supply issues amid tensions
in the Mideast.
Thoughts
converge on silver; both expect gold's shiny cousin
to outperform on a relative basis while copper
remains on the watchlist.
Part
II. with Bix Weir of RoadtoRoot-A
continues the review of the ever evolving crypto-revolution,
including the ascent of Ethereum and its key competitors.
Competing
crypto-script EOS is an ERC-20 token, headed by
Dan Lahrimer known for DPoS, while Cardano is
run by a former key developer of Ethereum.
A
strategic advantage of Ethereum is the Turing
Complete nature of the Solidity language, which
allows scripts to run on the token.
While YouTube "experts" use Metcalfe's
Law to describe the network value of Bitcoin,
Metcalfe's Law is easily debunked using basic
statistical modeling.
Metcalfe's
law holds that peer-to-peer networks such as Bitcoin
derive value. via the number of transactions times
the number of users.
Nevertheless,
given that there are a finite number (n) of people,
all human based exponential systems are non-asymptotic;
growth eventually slows.
Due
to the highly complex nature of human behavior,
the host proposes a unique description of the
cryptocurrency "network effect."
The
progression begins with the exponential, turns
to logarithmic and ends in with the parabolic.
The
model begins with super-linear growth of the exponential
n^2 curve, progressing to the more tame ascent
of the n*log(n) curve.
The
system results in the S-curve that completes the
life-cycle as the log-parabolic system returns
to zero (figure 1.1).
Investors
are advised to ignore all Bitcoin growth forecasts
based on Metcalfe's Law and rely instead on more
pragmatic S-curve estimates.
The
duo dismiss detractors citing the large number
of US equities (10,000+) does little to lower
overall demand for shares.
The
thought is further corroborated via comments from
Silicon Valley, Bitcoin Billionaire, Tim Draper.
Mr.
Draper notes (paraphrased) that within 5 years,
coffee shops around the US will accept Bitcoin
as the currency of choice.
BTC
/ Altcoins offer an alternative to the domestic
currency regardless of location worldwide, for
currency / financial crises, such as the Great
Recession of 2008, as well as the devaluation's
of Venezuela and Argentina.
