I've followed the rise of cryptocurrency for several years - I've always been intrigued by its tremendous opportunity to break open the central banking hegmonay. And it's been highly effective at doing so already. It wasn't going to take long therefore that the controllers and mainstream bankers would jump into the fray and try to own it - at least control it. One of the new trends I've seen developing in the sector in recent years has been the "pump and dump" phenomenon by the currency traders of the big banks - they pump funds in, drive the prices high, then dump for a quick profit. It does irk! Crypto has far more to offer than a quick profit - a good way to view it is as digital bartering - which was more the energy with which it began.

For all those interested in this new sector, it is therefore highly volatile and that's what we're witnessing right now. Crypto took a nose dive these last few days due to criminal irregularities in the BItMEX trading exchange.

However, it is bouncing right back again. Beware at these times though, because the stock market bubble is expected to burst in the immediate future, which will temporarily nose dive crypto too. It's definitely something to be aware of. If you're into Bitcoin and Ethereum, they will likely be effected in the short term by a stock market dive, so explore stablecoins like Tether. It could be a good hedge against volatility in the few months ahead, especially due to the presidential election in the US. Most definitely do your own research (I am not a financial advisor!). Also watch the signs and synchronicities - I'm finding the light is able to speak through these new technoligies pretty well. My attention has been drawn to Ws everywhere recently - a double dip and a double rise!

if you'd like a more left brained view in the current situation, here's someone I find has some great insight...
