A Cautionary Tale for Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies
*by Matt M., SGT Report:*

Historically speaking, I’m pretty sure the blockchain will go down in history as one of mankinds greatest inventions. Hundreds of years from now high school students will look at old videos of Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen and have to write an essay on ‘What were these people thinking’. Hopefully they will then watch Sean/SGTreport on a youtube video and go ‘whoa, these guys were on the ball’.

Exam papers in the next century could well be on discussing the merits of the wheel, internal combustion, flight, the microchip and the blockchain and which was better for mankind’s evolution.

As I understand it, it offers a decentralised means of maintaining a ledger that is beyond manipulation. Apply that kind of thinking to a monetary system and bingo!!! No more Rothschild and Bilderberg level control over mankind.

Better yet, what kind of productive person who produces more than he consumes goes around daily thinking ‘I need to save some cash so I can start a war’. You could quite literally see an end to serious conflict between nations as prosperous people, well, prosper.

The potential for this kind of technology is mind blowing even for people who understand monetary history. For those who are clueless about gold and silver and their role throughout history this technology could well rock your world. Free from the puppet masters mankind could return to peace and prosperity through a genuine freedom, never to be undone.

That is tomorrow. At the moment Bitcoin, the undisputed king of the cryptocurrencies has just smashed through the $2000 mark with ethereum just having gone through $170. It hasn’t done it gently either. On a daily basis the cryptocurrencies are rocketing skywards like the proverbial tree that grows to the sky.

Can it go highter? Yep I’d say so. Can it go a lot highter? Quite probably. The amount of money trying to flee government lockdowns as this global ponzi bubble inflates makes any short term guess largely irrelevant. Any moment a hedge fund billionaire or Chinese property maganate could work out that he is in danger of a serious ‘lock’ on his cash in any bank holiday announcement and decide Bitcoin is the answer and it will move highrer still. Who the hell knows in all honesty, but the cryptocurrencies are coming of age.

Mike Maloney warns of a massive deflation ahead of a threat of hyperinflation and makes note that this is going to be a rollercoaster crash. That’s a warning that seems likely. One minute there’s hysteria, the next panic and I think it’s fair to say we will see wild gyrations in all assets. Including the cryptocurrencies.

Some sort of correction seems in order at some point. The tricky part is working out at what levels that takes place. Will it go up another $1000 dollars from here before a pull back. Who knows? I don’t. And neither do you.

In any deflationary crash all manner of things get sold and I think Bitcoin won’t escape this.

All that aside, I have a nagging feeling about the cryptocurrencies that I find impossible to shake. Gold and Silver have been money for over 6000 years for a reason. With a pedigree second to none they will surely see the enlightened through this crisis as well.

![Screen Shot 2017-05-24 at 12.05.11 PM.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPkwuwZXqCkSEKAmnHmjE1DLr65UrPFyzbdPArdHZqVww/Screen%20Shot%202017-05-24%20at%2012.05.11%20PM.png)

Only a baffoon (can you name one?) would think that the Venezuelan bolivar or the USD will be a better place to store wealth than Bitcoin or Ethereum. I’d hold both over ANY fiat currency as we sleepwalk towards this disaster.

However, are they a better place than Gold and Silver?

The word of caution I’d strike here is that individually a cyrtocurrency may be limited to a fixed quantity, but as a group space, there seems to be no limit to how many can be created. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million Bitcoin but what about the next one? And the next one? And the one after that?

The economic pronciple of substitution states that as the price rises in one asset, people switch preferences and pick something else. This could well be what is explaining the rise of Ethereum. Bitcoin getting a little beyond the reach at $2000 dollars, hey, you can buy 12 or so Ethereum. And that’s going to the same price isn’t it?

And therein lies the problem.

As each one rises it incentivises the next to be created. And that process is without limit. As each days passes and price rises occur, the next techological egghead is working on providing the world with another one.

What is worthy of note here is that this is not possible with Gold and Silver. As silver develops into an insane mania nobody is going to come out of the woodwork and declare they’re working on a new precious metal. Alchemists have been trying that since time immorial. Modern science pretty much declares that idea dead.

That’s not to say the current favourites won’t skyrocket from here over time. The amount of people that know about Bitcoin is tiny. Most of those who do don’t own any and this explains the small market cap compared to say, the American stock market.

If say, the free market decides to use Bitcoin as the means to transfer national debt wealth then Bitcoin is going well north of here. Well, well, north. Take your guess as to the telephone number pricing of Bitcoin if hedge funds start using it as a global liquidity pool for that purpose.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of what the free market is attempting to do here. To create an easily available escape to the storage of weatlth outside government control is of the uppermost significance. Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies are the most fabulous way to circumvent government capital controls and I’m all for that. As everyone should be.

For me though, NOTHING beats Gold and Silver in the lead up to this monetary debacle.

Anyway, with all that said I’m off to brush up on my coding skills. Look out for SGTcoin soon!

.

As PHYSICAL precious metals owners, you know where our hearts are. But with the rapid rise of cryptocurenncy as an alternative to the US Dollar and other fiat currencies, the question needs to be asked: Is there room in our portfolios for a little Bitcoin, Ethereum or Lite Coin?  The United Nations is even embracing them.  Are they here to stay? Should you care?

What about Facebook and Instagram? Do you think they will talk about that in the future with discussions such as the wheel, combustion engine and the blockchain?

All kidding aside, great post!

I'm a bit worried about this parabolic rise in crypto. I have made very nice profit from this but at the same time, I don't want to be caught holding the bag. Oftentimes, things that are too good to be true, are just that. I do however firmly believe that crypto really only has more room to significantly grow when further moneytary easing, money printing, and inflation/hyper inflation starts.

HODL!

I'm nervous about the crypto market as well but am buying a small position in Bitcoin & Ethereum just to diversify , I consider it insurance. I have a good position for my overall portfolio in Silver and some gold already so I am just looking to make sure i have covered all of my bases...Thanks for all of the information you provide. I watch daily to keep up with the volume of market information and  world events going on now.

Totally agree. If you are ALL IN on Cryptocurriences right now you need to cash out 25% and go into Silver, Gold, Platinum. When Silver is released from bondage, it will make even Crypto returns blush.

Great perspective, Sean.  
I feel strongly that Silver will triumph in the long run, but cryptos have their place in the decentralized, personal power, model.  I'm splitting between silver, Bitcoin and ether.  I'll no doubt reallocate as situations change. 
Thanks for your Good Work.

Serious question for people investing in bitcoin. How do you invest in something that has an unknown creator?

I have educated myself. Nakamoto is the supposed creator, but there no clear creator. That is why I asked the question. Posting a meme is always a knowledge filled response though.

Pretty much you gotta get to work learning some stuff.. Open source software, decentralized ownership.. so if there's no address.. and no-one to go after.. no-one can shut it down.

One more reason why cryptocurrencies are rising this fast is the fact that many PM longtime investors are fed up, they're tired after this long period of price suppression. When they nowadays watch the cryptocurrency market they can imagine at what price levels Gold and Silver would be traded if they wouldn't be  kept down for only one reason to make the weak US Federal Reserve Note just look strong. The hegemony of the Greenback as world reserve currency will fail sooner than later. So some of the PM enthusiasts  as Mike Maloney and Andy Hoffman are meanwhile recommending Bitcoin and some other Alts.

Anyone who has even the slightest notion of their own sovereignty understands the potential of any decentralized system ,wether that is money energy or food. The days of a central controlling power are coming to an end cryptos silver and gold are just one very important part of euthenising the old ,dark days of empires kings and barons. What we require now is localised energy production, is this the answer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsuB-6-n-MM . Decentralized food production https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KmKoj4RSZw.

Best thing to do, is trade these cryptos, get in on a new one watch it soar and take profit, convert it to a more stable version or physical pm. Dont bet the farm, dont go all in or you will get dot commed. Remember the dot com bubble made a lot of people very wealthy. As long as you remember your not married to the cryptos they are simply one night stands  you wont get emotionally attached and will be able to move stealthily and buy things you know to be of value. If you bought btc at 3.00 you should have sold a s*** ton of it by now. Speculating that it will hit 1m will get your face ripped off. sell now and buy something down on the ground floor and ride the elevator up. rinse wash and repeat.

hey @sgtreport, I just listened to your interview with Gonz on facelikethesun...so you didn't have a single positive thing to say about it? Kind of sad since you've been receiving some good upvotes so for.

Now, your comment about SP 90% is outdated by 5 months. Also, the flagging/voting power of whales will be radically reduced with the next hardfork. 

Kind of cheap to dis steemit.com in front of 140,000 subs.
