Institutional investors want a piece.

Is anyone else planning to short Bitcoin Cash after the hardfork?

BCH is up 33% over the last 7 days and 4.84% over the last 24 hours. I'm going long up until November 15.

I plan on hodling Bitcoin Cash and dumping Bitcoin ABC.

This is huge. This will certainly increase trade volume of the underlying asset/commodity.

BCH is up another 7.46% today

Bitcoin Cash Nov 8th Technical Analysis by @PhilakoneCrypto

Institutional investors are increasingly getting involved in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies – while the number of retail investors in the space is staying stagnant – according to a new report by Morgan Stanley.

As such, the market’s current thesis appears to be that bitcoin is a “new institutional investment class,” and has been for almost a year, the authors wrote. The amount of crypto assets under management has been increasing since January 2016, with $7.11 billion currently being stored by hedge funds, venture capital firms and private equity firms.

The herd is coming. However it could take 3 to 5 years.

There is a clear bias from Coindesk survey audience.

Hope you had your short positions in place! BCH is currently down 8.26% in the last 24 hours.

Wow! There are still over 24 hours until the fork. https://cash.coin.dance/

I expected markets to react like this immediately after the snapshot.

Bitcoin Cash is on sale! I might pick some up before tomorrow.

First November, then December and now January 24, 2019.
