Crypto Correction is Healthy
By Adam Sharp on April 23, 2021
Bitcoin and the broader crypto markets are pulling back. Bitcoin slipped below $50,000 today and is currently trading around $49,700. This is nothing to be concerned about. We’ve come an incredibly long way over the last 14 months. And pullbacks are healthy and to be expected. No asset goes straight up (for very long anyway). People will come up with all sorts of reasons for the sell-off, but I think we’re just seeing normal…
Government Interference With Bitcoin Is Growing
By Adam Sharp on April 16, 2021
In Washington’s latest round of sanctions against Russia, the U.S. government targeted specific bitcoin addresses. Here’s an excerpt from Bitcoin Magazine’s reporting. “…the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), recently…
Bitcoin Is Primed for Continued Growth
By Adam Sharp on April 9, 2021
The crypto bull market is showing remarkable strength. After months of incredible growth, bitcoin is trading in a remarkably tight range — anywhere from $56,000 to $58,000. It looks to me like big players are building positions. If these new institutional investors hold for the long…
Market Rallies on PayPal Crypto News
By Adam Sharp on April 2, 2021
Towards the end of last week bitcoin was trading around $54,000. And I honestly wasn’t sure which way we were going to break, up or down. I really would have been fine either way. As I said last week, the market needs a…
Bitcoin’s Fundamentals Remain Strong Amid Correction
By Adam Sharp on March 26, 2021
Today bitcoin is bouncing back, trading near $54,000. Over the last week it fell from a high of near $60,000 to a low of about $51,000. This is nothing to worry about for long-term holders in my view. Actually, it would be good for things to…
Don’t Get Caught Up in the NFT Craze
By Adam Sharp on March 19, 2021
What an amazing year it’s been for crypto investors. A year ago we were down in the dumps, and today we’re flying high. One of the most remarkable recent phenomena has been the rise in popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFTs are digital collectibles that are…
Goldman Sachs is on the Bullish Bitcoin Train
By Adam Sharp on March 12, 2021
This week we got a new podcast featuring Mathew McDermott, head of Digital Assets for Goldman Sachs’ Global Markets Division. He discussed booming crypto demand from clients and what’s driving the move. Bitcoin.com provided a nice summary of the conversation. Here…

By Adam Sharp on March 5, 2021
JP Morgan released an interesting survey this week. It polled 3,400 institutional investors — representing 1,500 firms — about their views on crypto. Here are some highlights: 11% of respondents work at firms that own or trade crypto. 22% said their companies are likely…
Bitcoin Is on the Path to Surpass Gold
By Adam Sharp on February 26, 2021
For now, it appears that our decision to take some profits last week may have been wise. Crypto is correcting pretty hard right now — which is perfectly normal and should be expected. I would be very worried if we weren’t seeing sizable corrections. …
Alert: Taking Profits and Selling
By Adam Sharp on February 19, 2021
Deciding when to take profits in crypto is extremely difficult. Based on past bull markets, we likely still have at least a year to go before things cool off (and probably more based on the unprecedented deficits and money printing today). But I think it would…
How to Take Profits in a Bullish Crypto Market
By Adam Sharp on February 12, 2021
It’s been a beautiful year for crypto. We had a nice dip in March 2020 which turned out to be an amazing buying opportunity. Now we’re seeing unprecedented growth and adoption. Here are just a few of the major companies to jump on the bitcoin bandwagon…
Bitcoin Shows Strength After Correction
By Adam Sharp on February 5, 2021
It appears that the crypto correction is over for now, but I’m glad it happened. We did need to slow down a bit after bitcoin shot practically straight up from $20k to $40k, and altcoins soared. Those kinds of moves are unsustainable in the short term. So it’s…
Dogecoin Blasts Off as WallStreetBets Piles In
By Adam Sharp on January 29, 2021
I’m sure you’re all aware by now of what’s been happening with GameStop shares recently. Shares have shot up from under $4 six months back to a high of around $468 this week. GameStop was driven higher by a very clever campaign orchestrated on online forums…
Why This Bitcoin Correction is Normal
By Adam Sharp on January 22, 2021
As I write this on Thursday, January 21st at around 3:00PM EST, bitcoin is currently down 8.3% over the last 24 hours to $32.4k. It’s down 17.2% over the last seven days. Altcoins are mixed, but mostly down as well. But none of that is cause for major…
Nano, Decred Looking Up
By Adam Sharp on January 15, 2021
Long-time members know that I’ve always been wary of more centralized cryptocurrencies such as Ripple. As you probably know by now, the SEC is going after Ripple in a big way. Here’s a brief summary from legal news site JDSupra,.
Crypto Monitor: Crypto Market Forecast
By Early Investing on January 8, 2021
Crypto is rolling. Bitcoin cracked the $40,000 mark yesterday. Ethereum is up more than 800% in the last 365 days and nearing its all-time high. And Haven Protocol is up 144% since we first recommended it. So what’s driving the market? Where does the crypto market go next?…
