Good morning TV,
It’s been a while since I posted a public video analysis. Glad to be back and share with you my opinion and analysis regarding this space. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Amol and I’ve been a trader for 11 years. I started off my trading as a high school kid logging into my Dad’s account in 2008. Thinking I was hot sh*t, I made a couple of good trades but then financial crisis started kicking in and things got worse on that account. Long story short, I lost a bunch of my Dads money and felt horrible. I made it a point to learn how to trade, how to invest, read market sentiment, understand market data, structure, technicals, fundamentals etc. I became thirsty for knowledge in trading and investing. Fast forward, after years of equities trading, I started trading crypto in late 2016 and have been here since and I’m in it for the long-run. Anyway, I share my analysis with you every chance I get so here we go..

BTC/USD January 18 Analysis:
– The 128MA (daily) has been used heavily in the equity markets to gauge long-term trend shifts and possible areas of bounce/support. You can see on BTC that it was used quite effectively. Even on the side of resistance it was used perfectly. However, the fact that we are so far extended away from 128MA and can’t come close to retrace when bouncing up shows severe weakness in the BTC asset.
– And just like the 128MA the 382 fibs and the ABC corrective wave shown in the video give you an idea that we have not had such a weak bounce in bitcoin in all of 2018. Meaning when price fell from 6500 to 3100. We should have at least climbed into 4500-5000 range and then gotten rejected on the way down. Again- this shows the utter dominance from the bears driving the price down and disallowing it from coming up
– The Order Blocks shown are a great example to watch price be cripped. Staying under the 50% fib of the current OB is again a weak sign for BTC .

All in all, unless BTC climbs up toward $5000 over the next few days/week, it will undoubtedly have a higher probability of breaking down than up. Best case scenario is that $3100 was the bottom and we spend months in $3000 range for accumulation. But we won’t know this until we create higher lows and stay here for weeks/months.

Hope you enjoyed the analysis. Give me a thumbs up!

Adam Back: Blockstream ‘Has No Patents Related To SegWit’

Blockstream CEO Adam Back has refuted claims by Swedish Pirate Party founder Rick Falkvinge that the company “has patents in SegWit.”


 Pirate Party’s Falkvinge: Blockstream SegWit Support Driven By Patents

In a Twitter response Monday, Back stated Blockstream “does not have any patents, patent applications, provisional patent applications, or anything similar, related to segwit.”

Falkvinge, who is a staunch supporter of bigger blocks proposed by rival scaling solution campaigners bitcoin Unlimited, had earlier Monday released a dedicated post on his website arguing Blockstream’s SegWit support was for its own interests.

“Based on Blockstream’s behavior in the bitcoin community, I have become absolutely certain that Segwit contains patents that Blockstream and/or their owners have planned to use offensively,” he wrote.

Falkvinge Accuses Blockstream Of ‘Goalpost Moving’

The post accuses Blockstream of “classic goalpost moving” and employing behavior that “only makes sense” under a patent battle.

Falkvinge continues:

…Based on Blockstream’s behavior, I can say with dead certainty that I’ve seen this exact behavior many times in the past, and it’s always when somebody has a dual set of reasons – one for presentation and palate and another that drives the actual course of action.

Back’s Twitter retort appears to be lifted from previous comments on Reddit left by core developer Greg Maxwell.Maxwell

“As is the case for other major protocol features, the bitcoin developers worked carefully to not create patent complications. Segwit was a large-scale collaboration across the community, which included people who work for Blockstream among its many contributors,” he continued.

Moreover, because the public disclosure of segwit was more than a year ago, we could not apply for patents now.

Maxwell reiterated that Falkvinge had previously made similar allegations, which he had addressed separately.

“In short, Rick Falkvinge’s allegations are entirely without merit and are supported by nothing more than pure speculation which had already been debunked,” he concluded.

A Clash Of Ideals?

Falkvinge meanwhile has remained bullish on bitcoin publicly, telling RT in February he expected bitcoin could take over up to 10% of the foreign exchange market.

In his post, however, a clear distinction is drawn between the classic bitcoin ethos and that of Blockstream.

The owners of Blockstream are the classic financial institutions […] that have everything to lose from cryptocurrency gaining ground,” he wrote.

The conclusion is unescapable (sic) here: Blockstream’s constant goalpost shifting has had the underlying goal to have Blockstream’s owners effectively own bitcoin through patent encumbrance.
