Is inflation DIRECTLY correlated with price performance in crypto? Well.... There are only two cryptocurrencies in the Top-10 down against USD in 2019, both of which have high inflation. One is XRP, so let's take a look at why Ripple Inc's sale $250M quarterly sale of XRP could be hurting it's holders.

This time I meet Clay Collins, the CEO of Nomics, a data company delivering professional-grade market data APIs. This may sound boring, but you will be surprised how truly intriguing and entertaining this talk gets. We cover what Nomics does and how it sets the solid data foundations for the crypto industry to grow. Clay and I also talk extensively about trading volumes, fake trading volumes, and how Nomics fosters the adoption of best practices by crypto exchanges with its recently launched “Exchanges Transparency Ratings.” Clay also compares Nomics to CoinMarketCap, CryptoCompare, OnchainFX, and others. Last but not least, we discuss Clay’s extremely successful podcast, his 4AM morning routine, and his expectations of how Bitcoin will overtake the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. This was one of the most educational and at the same time entertaining interviews I have done. I hope you find this conversation useful and enjoyable just like it was for me.

Unconfirmed: Insights and Analysis From the Top Minds in Crypto
Meltem Demirors of Athena Capital and recently of Digital Currency Group explains how the crypto world is creating artificial scarcity and how investors can uncover the true scarcity (or lack thereof). She describes why many projects have not yet able to create natural demand and how the downturn has affected many of their balance sheets. She also talks about how she's looking for investments and businesses that aren't necessarily sexy but will make money in both bull and bear markets -- and reveals what types of businesses fit that description.

Ledger Cast — Crypto, Bitcoin, Trading, and the Blockchain Ecosystem
Welcome to Ledger Cast, hosted by me, Brian Krogsgard (@ledgerstatus on twitter), and Josh Olszewicz (@carpenoctom). Ledger Cast is a cryptocurrency trading and blockchain ecosystem podcast. You can subscribe to new episodes of Ledger Cast on iTunes, on Google Play, on YouTube and via RSS. We cover technical topics on trading, fundamental analysis and various coins, news of the week, and more. In this episode, we discuss news of the week, and our primary topic is a discussion around buy and sell targets, and how we use various indicators to pick our targets. The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying. News items of the week Crypto hit .5 trillion market cap Pricing since Thanksgiving A new ATH from bitcoin, followed by some alts running Litecoin network speed compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum clogging Charlie Lee on CNBC Crypto Kitties, the first Ethereum dApp!? SEC statement on ICOs and our thoughts on ICO mania’s drawdown. We also speculate on exchanges making adjustments or trying to mature in response to possible crackdowns on coins as securities. Marco Santori’s thread on the SEC announcement. Josh talked to Bitcoin Cashers in real life and has thoughts. We talked a bit about segwit and bitcoin scaling again. Also, discussed how we are aghast at Brian Armstrong and Coinbase’s shrugging of segwit as a priority. Josh thinks Coinbase will list Bitcoin Cash for trading, not just for distribution to customers who held during the fork. Coins discussed Some coins mentioned in this episode (Check out OnChainFX for information on all of these): Bitcoin: consolidating at ATH levels. Ethereum: huge move off USD ascending triangle. Litecoin: huge move beyond all boundaries that make sense to Josh. He did an article on it at Brave New Coin. Dragon Chain ICO and attachment to Disney. Vertcoin: Still on target for us for the weekly Ichimoku edge to edge trade (see my article with that chart). Tezos and the drama around their ICO. Bitcoin Cash and trying to be Bitcoin. A non-starter for Brian to trade or chart it. Doge and market cycles DEX (Decentralized exchange coins): Project 0x, Heat, Waves, Bitshares, Counterparty Anonymous transaction / privacy coins: Monero, Zcash, Pivx, Zcoin, Dash Target, Sir? (Primary topic on picking buy and sell targets) If you skip to minute 33, we start talking about technical analysis and how we choose buy or sell targets. Pattern analysis Generally, Josh trades using pattern analysis (his video on this). An example we used for pattern analysis is Ethereum’s multi-month ascending triangle on the high timeframe, and a flag on the lower timeframe. The measured move of this triangle was around $800, which was already achieved. Bollinger Bands Triggers are used in addition to pattern analysis. In the case of the Ethereum consolidation, Bolinger bands (video) could provide insight to measure volatility. As the bands tighten, the likelihood of a volatile move increases. In conjunction with the pattern, it allows you to predict possible price action. Ichimoku Cloud The Ichimoku cloud gives us a visual snapshot of the trend, with a lot of information. Again using our Ethereum example, the Ichimoku cloud versus the dollar was signaling bullishness prior to the ascending triangle breakout. An entry on this example could’ve been made at several levels: An agressive entry on the bottom diagonal of the triangle Buy the breakout of the Bollinger bands, or the triangle Buy the retest of the triangle top Comparing USD versus BTC pricing We can spend more time on this, but this example shows a Ethereum price comparison versus the dollar. However, the bitcoin relative price is also important. Josh and I both wish to have more bitcoin, so if Ethereum isn’t outpacing Bitcoin, then it’s better to hold Bitcoin. So the ideal here is to let Ethereum consolidate as much as possible while not in, and buy as the biggest portion of the move is about to happen, so that it can outpace Bitcoin’s bullishness. Getting this exactly right could be very difficult. However, both of us think it is worth looking at both the USD and BTC pairs for coins. When the charts align, it presents the most opportunity. Market cycles Market cycles are one of the most important considerations when buying alt coins. Josh gave the example of Doge and how it has these huge pumps relative to Bitcoin. Here’s an example of Doge versus Bitcoin. Note how the Doge/BTC chart is drastically different than the one versus the dollar. Despite Doge versus the dollar being near an all time high, it has failed to keep pace with Bitcoin. Yet, the bitcoin pair is now in the buy zone again, and therefore may present another market cycle opportunity, and a move in the Doge dollar price. Double bottoms / Adam & Eves everywhere Right now in alt coins, there are a lot of double bottoms, which are often presented as an Adam and Eve pattern where it’s a V and a U side by side, where the U is often a higher low than the V. When buying an Adam and Eve, you often see a retest of the pattern break, like you see above. Targets can be the distance of the orange line (middle of two peaks) to the lowest low. Thomas Bulkowski also notes more identification and success metrics for this pattern. Many more patterns We spoke of some patterns but there are many, many more. Josh’s playlist on indicators is very good. There are many ways to trade. We talked about how we tend to do things here, but there are many strategies. Another many crypto traders love is a method of bottom calling, where they try to “catch knives” if you will, and work to catch alt coins at their depths, rather than on trend confirmation. Selling partials One thing we both do is trade in ranges. It’s going to be hard to call an exact top, so when we are selling, we both try to establish a range of possible prices where we sell. For instance, if we want to see .04 btc to sell, maybe we set sells between .035 and .06 depending on how those prices work within various indicators: moving averages, fibonacci extensions, cloud levels, or whatever else. More in the podcast I’ve tried to recap some of what we discussed, but we went into more depth in the show, be sure to listen! Various other links Binance for alts trading Gdax (Same company as Coinbase, better for frequent traders) for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin Altcoin.io for an alts DEX using atomic swaps Bitcoin Tax website for calculating taxes. I have an article coming on this as well in more detail. Josh’s “Top 5” lists for 2018 where he talks about alts to watch, traders, tools, and more. Listener questions We answered the following questions! Question 1. How does the cloud know? Question 2. Why does the BTC rise happen after the USD price move ? Much love. — King Midas (@yahoo_nicolas) December 12, 2017 2018 looks to be the year of the Dex, are you currently trading on any, which ones have u most excited? (@dbrizzy80) December 12, 2017 Q: What do you think about the future of anonymity coins? Do you think anonymity will simply become a feature in BTC / LTC or do you think anonymity coins will survive/go big on their own? — Matt Leskanic (@matt_leskanic) December 12, 2017 I would love to hear your feedback on VTC. Keep up the good work and have fun! — William Reymond (@WilliamReymond) December 12, 2017 Fundamentally and for hodling, which do you like best and why? Monero, zec, or dash? — Flowers (@FloweringPath) December 12, 2017 Ask us a question Every episode, we’ll try to answer one or two audience questions. If you ever have one, just tweet at us or fill out the contact form. Coin of the week Josh: Doge. He’s looking at it for market cycle reason (see charts above). Brian: Waves. I’ve enjoyed the btc chart, as it just broke out of a long term descending triangle, and it’s in an ATH price discovery mode versus the dollar. They’ve also been putting out a lot of news. Find Josh and Brian elsewhere Josh’s articles on Brave New Coin (must read material) Josh’s YouTube channel (His Ichimoku series and Indicator series are especially great) Josh on Twitter @carpenoctom Brian on Twitter @ledgerstatus Interested in sponsoring? We’d love to talk to interested parties about sponsorship opportunities. We are open to suggestions, but are not seeking deals that include promos for ICOs, etc. But if you do something interesting in the space and want to chat, contact us.

FLAGSHIP 76 - 6/14/19 Brent is back on the show just in time to get hacked. Binance is coming to the US, but weren't they already there? Facebook announces more plans for the Libra and announces the help of some serious tech giants. Giants that gave them $10M of course. There's a lot more news to cover on this edition of the flagship. Rapid Fire r/CryptoCurrency - Uber, MasterCard, Visa and other big companies have reportedly signed on to Facebook's blockchain efforts https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-enlists-uber-mastercard-visa-back-cryptocurrency-2019-6?utm_source=reddit.com Uber, MasterCard, Stripe, Visa, and Booking.com have been persuaded to support it's new crypto. Binance Says It's Launching a US Exchange With FinCEN-Registered Partner - CoinDesk Binance is launching a US exchange with a FinCEN registered partner called BAM Trading Service Reuters & Bloomberg to add a Crypto Index to the terminal Reuters and Bloomberg will soon provide cryptocurrency data and will be able to access the top 100 performing cryptocurrencies. adoption of crypto indices into conventional trading terminals is definitely positive BULLISH OR BULLSHIT - Google will integrate Chainlink in their approach to smart contract adoption. We always like to hear Google and Blockchain together, so what gives here Quick version - they're using Chainlink as a Decentralized Oracle on an Ethereum Smart Contract. They haven't implemented anything, just used it. Quick explanation of an oracle. Use cases google thinks this provides - Prediction Markets Hedging Against Blockchain Platform Risk Enabling commit/reveals across Ethereum using submarine sends (huh?) Basically this is a pseudo privacy option. One of the things that happens on DEXs is that you can take advantage of the fact that transactions have to go on a blockchain in a certain order. If you know an order was filled you can put in a bigger order later and it would get moved to the top, or even bump that order off. Especially problematic during ICO releases. I really like this quote "The decentralized finance movement is rapidly gaining adoption due to its successful reinvention of the existing financial system in blockchain environments which, on a technical basis, are more trustworthy and transparent than current systems." Retail Giant Target Is Quietly Working on a Blockchain for Supply Chains -Target has been quiet regarding blockchain. In 2016 they hired Aarthi Srinivasan as director of product management for machine learning and blockchain. So clearly they are being secretive about what they are doing. Target has pledged to support IBM's Hyperledger Grid which is a supply chain framework. They are currently seeking a blockchain engineer and a systems developer on their career page. incorporating identity verification tech "investing in supply chain improvements" BULLISH OR BULLSHIT - A Bank in Liechtenstein Grew its Traffic by 900% by Selling Currencies Lets first talk about Liechtenstein - It's a German Speaking country that's between Austria and Switzerland Takes up a total area of 61.78 Square Miles and has 37,000 people. That's about 1/20th the size of Rhode Island. They have a lot of castles. One of the highest GDPs per person in the world. They're a member of the UN They use the Swiss Franc So the company's name is "Bank Frick" march of last year they started offering crypto for professional traders and financial consultant customers BTC, BCH, ETH, XRP, LTC, ETC, NEM, QTUM, and XLM They can only make one transaction per day They hold all reserves in cold storage. They're even creating a subsidiary that will allow trading called DLT Markets So here's the 900% part - They basically had more website visits. They went from 120 impressions on their website to 1250/month at their peak. Coinmarketcap Launches Data Accountability and Transparency alliance - DATA Remember Bitcoin2 from last week? Basically they were on 2 super shitty exchanges and had some fake volume and popped up into the top 100 of CMC. This probably isn't a direct response, but should be a step in mitigating that problem on CMC in the future. So far the following have joined - Binance, Bittrex, Liquid, IDEX, OKEX, Huobi, HitBTC, Upbit, Kucoin, Bitfinex, OceanEX, bithumb, Bancor, Gate.io, Bibox, Hacken, Exmo, Coinfloor, Bitrue, Switcheo, Midas protocol, Crypto Briefing, Flipside Crypto. They want to use a standard API across all platforms - CoinMarket Cap's of course. Twice yearly round table on suggested updates to transparency policy. Funding for proof of concept prototypes. That's all we know, but I think this is a result of competition. OnChainFX has been doing something similar with a really much better source of people to be a part of it.
