FXTM’s Jameel Admad Predicts a Bitcoin Price of $8,000 by Year’s end
Expectations related to the Bitcoin price are higher than ever before. The year 2017 has surpassed all previous expectations in quick succession. Some sources already claim the next Bitcoin price target by December 31st is ,000. Not an unlikely scenario, depending on how the SegWit2x hard fork decides to mess things up. Unprecedented price growth will always lead to corrections and reversals.
The Bitcoin price has always been a good reason to get excited. After years of hardship, things are finally falling into place. This year alone, we have seen the Bitcoin value increase fivefold. For all intents and purposes, this momentum doesn’t appear to be over just yet. It is remarkable how the world’s leading cryptocurrency is making such major moves. Multiple corrections and regulatory actions in multiple countries have zero lasting effect these days.
Bitcoin Price Trend Remains Mega-Bullish
According to The Sun Daily, we can expect more of the same in the next two months. The outlet claims the Bitcoin price will hit ,0000 before the year is over. A likely scenario, although there is still a lot of work to be done. More importantly, there is a question as to whether or not this momentum can be maintained. A one-day Bitcoin price swing above ,000 isn’t solid momentum by any means. Then again, no one knows how this market will evolve.
FXTM’s Jameel Ahmad comments as follows:
“There’s serious volatility in bitcoin. There are moments where bitcoin can drop by 5%-6% and obviously for investors, that is a huge concern. The significant risk around bitcoin and everyone who’s considering in investing cryptocurrency, you have to be aware of this risk. I’ve never seen an instrument or asset moves so much. It is rallying about 500% year-to-date.”
It is certainly true the Bitcoin price is doing remarkable things. No other financial asset comes even close to its potential right now. No one should be surprised by this, though. Bitcoin isn’t like any other form of money the world has ever seen before. It lacks all privacy and anonymity traits one may like. For that, there are a few altcoins worth considering. Unfortunately, those markets are increasingly bearish right now. A reckoning of some sorts will come eventually. The only question is which currencies will survive and which will perish.

Scaling Bitcoin Releases This Year’s Program and a New Developer Bootcamp
Today, Scaling Bitcoin, the international engineering conference focused on Bitcoin and blockchain research, released its program for the 2017 edition. The conference, to be held in Stanford, California, in the first weekend of November, will also introduce a new side event this year: Bitcoin Edge, a bootcamp for starting Bitcoin developers.
“The program is extremely interesting because it delivers cutting edge research on different blockchain scalability approaches, fungibility, consensus, data propagation, alternative techniques for handling blockchains and many other topics,” said Anton Yemelyanov, chair of the Scaling Bitcoin Planning Committee.
Scaling Bitcoin Stanford
After events in Montreal, Hong Kong and Milan, the fourth edition of the Scaling Bitcoin conference is taking place at Stanford University on November 4 and 5 of this year.
Where the first two editions of Scaling Bitcoin were mainly focused on scaling and scalability, the third edition broadened the scope of the conference to include a more diverse set of topics. This trend will continue in Stanford, where talks will range from highly technical topics concerning privacy and fungibility, to fee markets and fee estimation, censorship resistance and more.
“Bitcoin is the origin of all distributed ledger technology,” said Yemelyanov. “Scaling Bitcoin has been fortunate to act as a vehicle for bringing the audience technologies such as Segregated Witness and MimbleWimble, all of which have been adopted or incorporated into various blockchain projects. We hope that other material presented by our participants will be of similar value and help the industry advance the research and development of blockchains.”
Yemelyanov added that another key goal for Scaling Bitcoin conferences is to bring engineers and other technical minds together in a physical space where they can discuss their work in person.
“It is through collaboration where a lot of ideas are born and have potential of becoming reality,” he said.
Bitcoin Edge Dev++
In addition to the conference itself, Scaling Bitcoin is also introducing a two-day technical bootcamp for experienced developers getting into Bitcoin: Bitcoin Edge.
This nonprofit initiative is an effort to help scale the development capacity of the industry, Yemelyanov explained:
“One of the approaches of helping the industry scale is to scale the much needed development capacity of the industry. There is a clear talent deficit and we are trying to help all industry participants by running a nonprofit workshop that will allow developers to gain complete understanding of primitives that comprise Bitcoin and blockchains in general and be able to start working in this field.”
Bitcoin Edge will be led by well-known Bitcoin developers and academics Anditto Heristyo, Ethan Heilman, John Newbery, Karl-Johan Alm, Nicolas Dorier, Thaddeus Dryja and Jimmy Song. They’ll introduce participants to a range of technical Bitcoin-related topics, including Elliptic Curve cryptography, transaction structures, difficulty calculation and adjustments, and much more.
This workshop will take place on the November 2 and 3. For more information on the Bitcoin Edge initiative, visit bitcoinedge.org.
