On today's episode:
1. We’re going to take a look where the markets are at
2. We’re going to follow up on yesterday's video regarding the market on GDAX where Bitcoin is trading against Bitcoin Cash
3. And I’m going to response to the popular question of when the Bitcoin lightning network is going to launch
Story - Where Are The Markets At? 0:48
https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/
Well after hitting a bottom of 417b yesterday after 3:30 in the afternoon we have now recovered to 548b.
So let’s see what that looks like on the Bitcoin chart:
https://www.coinigy.com/main/markets/BITF/BTC/USD
Anyone who says technical analysis isn’t useful is wrong.
It’s not perfect because it’s not an exact science, but neither is it useless.
You can look back at my past videos and see that these fibonacci retracement lines were there long before this recent market crash.
And now we see how the intersection of $11,000 and the 61% fib line provided support to the price.
The fact that these two candles for today and yesterday have small bodies indicates indecision in the market, it means there’s caution on both sides.
Out of all the positions that I’ve taken over the last 48 hours my LiteCoin position has performed the best.
https://www.coinigy.com/main/markets/BITF/LTC/USD
LiteCoin dipped below $145 here and is now above $185.
That means it’s added around 30% since it hit bottom.
Bitcoin has added around 17% since it hit bottom.
I was telling my patrons about this yesterday as it was happening but Bitcoin is actually my worst performing position.
LiteCoin is number 1, Dash is number 2 and Ethereum is number 3.
All of those positions are in profit while Bitcoin remains in a loss position.
On the face of it, it looks like the crash is over, however that doesn’t mean much since our eye didn’t tell us the crash was coming the first time did they?
So the market could decide at any moment to take another dive.
Those are the risks that come with the territory, so when you invest, be prepared to lose all of it in an instant, because yesterday some people did.
Story - A Follow Up On Yesterday 4:32
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou2cUxG87YY
I want to do a quick follow up on the response to yesterday's video.
Based on what I read in the comments, there’s seems to be a major flaw in their logic.
Take a look at those 58 dislikes, that’s a lot relative to how many I normally get, and I know why, it’s because I talked about some Bitcoin Cash news.
The news was that GDAX were about to launch their new market allowing people to trade d

**On Today's Episode Of The Cryptoverse:**
Born in Satoshi Nakamoto’s mind, blockchain technology allows peer-to-peer networks to be created, without the use of a third-party centralized coordinators. Creating a decentralized digital ledger that records data over time, which cannot be deleted and is publicly available, can change the world we live in as we know it. Here are some of the biggest industries that blockchain technology will disrupt in the coming years.

Bitcoin fees are also dropping and sit at 154 satoshis per byte over the last 24 hours.

Oddly enough Segwit has dropped below 10% of transactions today having hovered between 10 and 12% over the last week.
**Story - Great News For Korean Crypto** 2:56
https://news.bitcoin.com/korean-crypto-exchanges-share-data-with-banks-new-account-system/
Rather than an effort to outright ban crypto trading, South Korean authorities seem more interested in making sure that trading isn’t done anonymously.
I have no doubt that crypto trading volumes from Korea have dipped recently and been a factor contributing to the falling prices.
Anyway, the South Korean government has come forward with the names of six major banks that are willing to provide services to cryptocurrency exchanges.
The catch is that the exchange will have to share data about their users.
This includes both personal details and transaction details.
So the name on the bank account will have to match the name on the cryptocurrency exchange account to prevent anonymous trading.
Because this name matching is required, that’s why the exchanges have to share data with the banks.
It says here this new system will be in place by the 30th of January but there’s a possibility some of them may have it up and running before then.
The benefit to the government is also that they can make sure all the crypto activity in Korea is taxed.
If they can’t get your crypto trading information from the exchange, they can get it by going through your bank.

While I have absolutely no hard proof of this whatsoever, it’s almost as if the price pumps and the news releases are all artificially coordinated. And no that’s not some sour grapes because I got rekt in a short trade, I still don’t have a good entry for that yet so that’s a separate topic entirely. Here are some of the unusually big news that all seems to have come out at once.
