As of today, Bitcoin has now plummeted 50% from its high, and many former Bitcoin cultists are finally starting to awaken to the reality that Bitcoin isn't going to take over the world's money supply. A major Bitcoin transaction hub, BitConnect, was just shuttered after being accused of sketchy, Ponzi-like schemes. At the same time, Bitcoin's supposed usefulness as a payment system has utterly collapsed, and there's even a report that a Bitcoin conference has stopped accepting Bitcoin as payment for the conference due to sky-high transaction costs and super slow "clearing" of such transactions, often exceeding two days.
Bitcoin's "market capitalization" is, of course, a mathematical hoax, as Bitcoin cultists are multiplying the last purchase price times the total number of Bitcoins in existence, even though the vast majority of them were purchased or mined for just a few pennies. There's no "capitalization" of Bitcoin anyway, since Bitcoin isn't a corporation and it owns no assets. It's not even an entity. Yet people continue to be duped into thinking they are "investing" in Bitcoin as if they're buying shares of a corporation or something.
In fact, the entire Bitcoin Ponzi scheme has relied heavily on conflating cryptocurrency lingo with traditional stock market investment terms, tricking many people into thinking they're buying into something that gives them ownership, dividends and the usual regulatory protections that criminalize Wall Street investment schemes. Imagine their shock when they find out that 1) Bitcoin owns nothing, 2) There are no regulatory protections against Bitcoin price fixing, insider trading and fraud, and 3) When you "buy" Bitcoin, you don't own anything other than an entry on a shared public spreadsheet. Also, for the record: 4) Bitcoin is incredibly slow and expensive to use, costing over $20 per transaction and sometimes taking days to clear that transaction.
Just as I predicted in a Natural News article, 2018 is the year when the governments of the world are cracking down on Bitcoin. It's already under way, with South Korea, Russia, China and other countries exploring various avenues for either regulating or outlawing Bitcoin altogether. As I wrote previously:
2018 will be the year that central banks begin to fight back against the growing phenomenon of cryptocurrency. Manipulating the crypto markets is child’s play for the central banks, which will no doubt engineer a panic selloff or cyber attack on the blockchain as a means to destroy the credibility of crypto in the minds of the public.

Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is the founding editor of NaturalNews.com, a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called "Food Forensics"), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics.
Mike Adams also serves as the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
