Many people have different opinions regarding the Bakkt Bitcoin futures. New information has confirmed these contracts don’t exactly work as advertised. Unlike what many assume, these vehicles are not fully backed by physical Bitcoin. The Real Story Behind the Bakkt Bitcoin Futures That is a rather unusual development for a […]
Many different factors can influence the future value of Bitcoin. Given the current circumstances, it seems rather unlikely that any major uptrend will materialize. The Bakkt Bitcoin futures are seemingly becoming more popular, but it seems plausible to assume that popularity will only trigger more bearish pressure in the foreseeable future. […]
Despite being met with a lot of enthusiasm and hype, it appears the overall interest in Bakkt and its products is simply not there right now. Very weak trading volume over the first 24 hours shows investors and speculators simply aren’t waiting for this type of trading vehicle. As a […]

Bitcoin has hit $4,000 again. This is the first time that the currency has claimed the important level in March. The last time it traded above $4,000 was February 24, a day in which it went up to $4,200. The currency’s price has been going up consistently since yesterday. It […]
At press time, the father of crypto has fallen slightly under the $3,600 mark, and bitcoin is now trading for about $3,598. It’s a small drop to say the least, though at this stage, it’s likely every enthusiast is watching the price like a hawk to see if (or when) […]
