I really want this to crash down to £2000 tomorrow just to see the comments on here.

But then I want it to go straight back up because I want you all to coin it in

Great article this, thanks. I saw it on the BBC but was too tight to buy a sub myself!

The only way to genuinely trade BTC on a leveraged basis is through CFDs. These are like the crack cocaine in the investment world. You can make an absolute fortune or lose it all. I believe when I looked at it leverage is 30x your deposit.

What worries me is some people will be gearing up on BTC around the $10k mark. If they plummet, their liabilities would be eye-watering.

Based on what IG index says, the market is overheated but because there isn't enough of a history with these instruments no one can really say with any confidence if we are at the top. The mind boggles.

Yes. I go through the same thoughts cycle. I feel that the sky is the limit with what I know about bitcoin, but am then countered by what history proves to us.

I have a close friends circle who have been in crypto since 2013-2014 who are smart and spend all their time in cryptoworld and yet their feelings are often mixed and conflicting. Whilst most of them truly believe bitcoin will reach 500k, at the same time they diversify their profits into FIAT as a backup and due to fear.

Leveraging for bitcoin in anticipation of humungous return indicates heightened greed in the crypto-currency market.

Data available with Google Trends shows people around the world are searching ‘buy bitcoin with credit card’ with Nigeria and St Helena being among top searchers for these words.

It is followed by United States, Canada and South Africa. India holds 15th position on that list.

Search for these five words is at an all-time high on Google Trends ..

Billionaire hedge fund legend Mike Novogratz believes bitcoin price will ‘easily reach’ the $40,000 mark by 2018.

“Bitcoin could be at $40,000 at the end of 2018,” he said on CNBC’s Fast Money programme. He advises small investors not to put more than 1 to 3 per cent of their net worth in crypto-currencies, while high net worth investors can invest 5 to 10 per cent in this space.
