Bitcoin and all the altkoins are the first pancake lump. But it needs to be remade correctly. You can skip this message. But almost all coins will collapse. The arrival of new coins is not far off. Coins will start appearing at the beginning of the year.

Bitcoin bull: Bitcoin could easily top $50K in 2018   Bitcoin bull: Bitcoin could easily top $50K in 2018

One of bitcoin's biggest bulls sees a $50,000 future for bitcoin in 2018.

Spencer Bogart, a partner at Blockchain Capital, thinks the controversial cryptocurrency will continue to perform, as long as both retail and institutional investors get involved and stay there.

On the institutional side, there is only room to move up, according to Bogart. And surveys show growing interest in bitcoin ownership from retail investors, especially young ones.

"Institutional ownership is still effectively zero percent. There's a lot of room for upward movement here," Bogart said on CNBC's "Fast Money." "The drawbridges for institutional pools of capital have just been lowered."

Bogart admits bitcoin is still new, calling it a "bit of an exotic product for institutional investors," but he is confident the popularity will eventually trickle down to these investors, even if they sit out a couple of rounds to focus on derivatives.

"If institutional players want to play in this market, they'll dip their toe in the water or wait on the sidelines to see if the products themselves function," Bogart said. "This is a first round of product set that's going to evolve and mature and eventually become a deep market."

But much of Bogart's confidence comes from bitcoin's popularity among young adults. He referenced a Harris Poll for Blockchain Capital that found 19 percent of Americans and 32 percent of millennial Americans said they would invest in bitcoin in 5 years.

"When I think about what are likely good indicators of future technology trends, I pick younger demographics over older demographics every time," he said.

In the blockchain versus bitcoin debate, Bogart said it will still be important to focus on bitcoin in the coming year. But the verdict is out on the long-term value, so he'll keep investing in both, he said.

"There's certainly a thesis that suggests that a lot of the value accrues to the underlying protocols like bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin," he said. "But I think that there is a lot of value accruing to the businesses built on top of these networks. The Ripples of the world, the Coinbases of the world, are worth a significant amount of capital right now."

I am bit confuse people are talking about blockchain while talking about cryptocurrency  Undecided
Please Clear My Doubts  Huh

I decided to get to the bottom of how much tax you have to pay for selling crypto currencies if you live in the UK...

You don't have to pay tax when you buy
You don't have to pay tax on it if it increases in value and you just hold it in crypto
You don't have to pay tax when you trade one cryptocurrency for another
You have to pay tax on the "profit" made when you sell it back to GBP
The tax bracket this comes under is capital gains tax (CGT), it's not the same rates as property though
In one financial year the first £11,300 profit in capital gains on cryptocurrency is tax free
The next £8,500 comes in the 10% tax bracket, anything over that is taxed at 20%
So you could in theory sell £19,800 with of Bitcoin every year and only pay £850 in CGT

What I really want to know and can't find the answer to online is...

What are the tax implications if you buy a car direct with Bitcoin? You are not technically making profit on the sale of an asset, you are swapping an asset with the value of x for a different asset with the value of x

In BTC story it makes every time record,today it pass 10000$. who know how much it will rise and who can tell after maximum value what will happen to BTC ? pls give your valuable opinion to us........

Well, I have started making some few cash from this and really will like those around me to partake. But people around have been put down because of ponzi and when bitcoin is being talked about all they see is Ponzi! How does one really get to re-orientate?

at the beginning it took me some time to explain people about this market.
i wonder:
when you try to explain people about cryptocurrency do they understand?

I am thinking about trying out crypto lending platforms.
Which one would you suggest and why?
I hope those who have tried the different platforms help me to decide. Thank you!
