Capitalizations Index – B ∞/21M

End Excerpt -->

Pantera Capital Management, a crypto hedge fund with more than $800 million in assets, shares the positive view of some Wall Street analysts and crypto advocates in that the bitcoin price has reached its “probable” low at $6,500.


Breaking the 200-Day Moving Average

Public Bitcoin price predictions and recommendations have never been a preference for Pantera Capital Management. The fund’s investments came to light in 2014, but it has only made three buy and one sell recommendations for the last seven years. If there’s one thing that this signals, it’s that Pantera is particularly careful and far from being reckless in their public statements.

Bitcoin 200-day moving average

Yet, the new call of the fund comes after the largest cryptocurrency crossed its 200-day moving average. To shed some clarity on this, the fund explains:

Traders often use that time period as it seems to be the optimal response time of human psychology,” it says, adding “Long enough to stop fretting about missing the trade. Not too long that the information is lost.

Needless to say, all bitcoin investors are wondering what the bottom is during this rampantly bearish market for the first quarter of 2018. According to Pantera, bitcoin’s price has already bottomed out, reaching its “probable” low at $6,500.

Thumbs-up for bitcoin price bottoming out.

Spreading the Love, Carefully

Understanding the weight of their statements, Pantera CEO Dan Morehead and Co-Chief of Investment Officer Joey Krug share their positivity in a rather careful manner, saying:

For those who are new to Pantera who might think a fund manager like Pantera would always be saying ‘Today’s a great day to get long.’ I rarely have such strong conviction on timing. A wall of institutional money will drive the markets much higher.

And while Pantera seems firm on the fact that institutional cash pouring into the crypto market shall drive the markets “much higher,” another Wall Street strategist, Fundstrat chief Tom Lee, outlines a few other reasons for which bitcoin’s price is to hit $25,000 by year-end.

And while their prognosis is slightly off by a few thousand bucks, Pantera also seems to hold that bitcoin’s price is to “exceed $20,000 within a year.”

At the time of press, Bitcoin trades at $8,083.30, marking a 0.30% increase for the last 24 hours but a massive over 12% spike in the last 3 days.

SibCoin Expands Its Reach to China’s Cryptocurrency Market after Tasting National Success

SibСoin, a Dash fork cryptocurrency originating from Siberia has gained substantial traction within its homeland and plans to expand its reach to the neighboring country, China. To Russian nationals, the cryptocurrency is known as ‘Siberian Сhervonets’ (SIB). The platform’s official website has added support for the Chinese language to help stimulate interest among Chinese investors and crypto-enthusiasts.


Created in May 2015, SibCoin was intended to cater to the needs of the Russian-speaking crypto-community and was formed under the title of the ‘People’s Patriotic Project’.

SibCoin gathered massive national adoption amongst traders and enthusiasts, as it offered a seemingly trustworthy alternative to bitcoin.

Siberian Chervonets (SIB) is a decentralized payment system, free of useless intermediaries. The SibCoin blockchain technology uses a public mathematic algorithm on a trustless network, which stores the information for each transaction. The algorithm makes it possible for information to be safely shared among participants.

The SibCoin cryptocurrency is currently available for live trade on both ‘YoBit’ and ‘Livecoin’ platforms, and most recently it has been added to one of the most reputable trading platforms, Bittrex.

The SibCoin project leader, Ivan Rublev has said that the development team is focusing on two specific areas as they evolve the cryptocurrency’s ecosystem. MasterNode-based services and traditional services (which includes exchanges and payment collection services) will be the two main areas of focus for the SibCoin team.  

The SibCoin community is going to see a lot of feature additions to the platform during the year 2017. SibCoin’s community meetings have grown in scope and size with community interest now extending beyond Russia and Siberia. With the momentum gathered by the development team in Siberia, SibCoin is now looking forward to becoming the pioneering voice for blockchain adoption in all other neighboring countries.
