Cryptocurrencies Attracting Inexperienced Traders And Investors
Eric De Groot | Sep 13, 2017 08:23AM ET
Lots of inexperienced traders pushing around Bitcoin (and similar) with no idea how to define the trends (short-term, intermediate-term, and primary trends). Although cryptos, including the well-known Bitcoin, are novelties, seen as a game of musical chairs by central authorities, this perception will change as price soars. Novelty will quickly turn to competition, a threat for control and dominance by increasing vulnerable governments.

Headline: JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon says bitcoin is a 'fraud' that will eventually blow up
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon took a shot at bitcoin, saying the cryptocurrency "is a fraud.""It's just not a real thing, eventually it will be closed," Dimon said Tuesday at the Delivering Alpha conference presented by CNBC and Institutional Investor.
Dimon joked that even his daughter bought some bitcoin, looking to cash in on a trend that has seen it soar more than 300 percent this year.
"I'm not saying 'go short bitcoin and sell $100,000 of bitcoin before it goes down," he said. "This is not advice of what to do. My daughter bought bitcoin, it went up and now she thinks she's a genius."
