Are we witnessing an early Christmas gift for crypto hodlers? bitcoin Cash ABC leads the crypto rally after surging nearly 40%.

The crypto asset has engaged itself in an impressive upside action, surging 40% on an adjusted 24-hour timeframe. In five days, the bitcoin Cash ABC market cap has jumped from $1.32 billion to $2.83 billion, indicating that bullish sentiment is being maintained on every higher high formation.

Meanwhile, the volume of bitcoin Cash ABC is also noting a steep rise from its previous low. On December 15, the bitcoin Cash ABC/Dollar market recorded $72.2 million worth of trading volume across all the crypto exchanges. However, the pair has registered a 934% surge in its daily trading, now posting $745 million worth of volume on a 24-hour adjusted timeframe.

bitcoin Cash SV Up 18%

bitcoin SV, which was launched after forking the main bitcoin Cash bitcoin, has gained 18%. The surge appears a further more speculative than the rest of the crypto market, owing to some bad press bitcoin SV received lately. Cryptocurrency researcher known as Reizu wrote in a blog post that he performed successful double spending attacks on the bitcoin SV chain, adding that the project is very centralized.

The Bitcoin Cash SV price was under pressure from these latest findings because its price action was visibly the most-responsive to the ongoing crypto bear cycle. It fell more than its peers. However, the coin seems to have woken up without any solid communal backing, to establish a new weekly high at $103.64.

Ethereum and EOS Join the Rally

Traders have capitalized on the deeply oversold status of Ethereum and EOS, two of the leading decentralized bitcoin projects. While Ethereum price jumped close to 6% on a 24-hour adjusted timeframe, EOS is a little behind with a 4% jump.

The Ethereum/Dollar price is now trading at $100 on Binance while eyeing an extended upside action towards $128 as a potential breakout/rebound target. The pair’s support level, at the same time, looks set at $84.

The EOS/Dollar rate, meanwhile, is undergoing a decent intraday rebound from the yesterday’s selling action. While the pair is pretty much struggling to break above the resistance level at $2.89, it is also being supported by a decent floor near $2.48.

Much like bitcoin Cash ABC, bitcoin SV, and EOS, other altcoins have also rebounded fairly in their respective markets. Including XRP (+4.36%), Stellar (+4.27%), Monero (6.23%), and Stellar (4.27%).

Big Macs in Caracas, Prawns in Lagos are Cheaper for Bitcoiners

Travel much? Bitcoinist discovered that using bitcoin instead of local currency gives you more Big Macs for your bits, particularly in places like Venezuela and Nigeria.


Attn: Travelers & Digital Nomads

It’s common knowledge that buying bitcoin might make a great investment. It can also save you money when you use it to buy products at Amazon via Purse.io. Less well known is that using bitcoin can slash your travel costs as well particularly in places like Venezuela and Nigeria.

Both these countries have capital controls on their economies and black markets for hard currency, especially in USD and Euros.

For example, in Nigeria, if you withdraw money at the Bank ATM you get 320 Nigerian Naira per Dollar. But if you sell Dollars on the Black Market you get 500 Naira per Dollar. Getting the black market rate makes your traveling to those countries a lot cheaper.

Economist Big Mac Index for Bitcoiners

Here is how it affects the price of a Big Mac in Lagos, Nigeria:

In other words, dummies pay $2.99 for a Big Mac in Lagos. bitcoin users pay $1.90 per Big Mac.

Therefore, you have three choices:

  1. Pay for everything with Naira from the bank ATM, which is paid out at the official FX rate. Pay $2.99 for a Big Mac.
  2. Take a large stack of cash Dollars with you to Lagos. Good luck with that! And what are you going to do when (not if) that cash gets stolen from you, most likely on the taxi journey from the Airport to your Hotel in the city?
  3. Buy bitcoin before you travel and sell bitcoin in small sums during your travels. Here’s how you can do that on the LocalBitcoins OTC platform, which is active in Nigeria. Pay $1.90 for a Big Mac.

King Prawns in Lagos

The benefits of using bitcoin when traveling to countries with distressed economies is not restricted to eating unhealthy food at McDonalds, however. (But great for a hangover.)

For example, Ocean Basket is a lovely seafood restaurant with branches all over Africa.

Beautiful seafood. Look at the Menu at Ocean Basket, Lagos, Nigeria.

Order the whole menu, and Bitcoiners pay $112.46 USD; non-Bitcoiners pay $176.87 USD.

Many people might not wish to travel to Venezuela or Nigeria. (I would!) But bear in mind that the arguments laid out here apply to any economy with FX and capital controls. And as sure as night follows day, there will be more economies behaving that way in the future.

The canary in the coal mine is rapid depreciation of the local currency against the US Dollar. Black markets usually develop as the authorities impose artificial controls on the official FX rate to stem decline of public confidence in the national currency.

So here are the canaries (excl. UK) to look out for if you’re looking to get more Big Macs for your bits:
