Happy Thanksgiving! Sincerely – Vitalik Buterin. Ethereum making all time highs today as Bitcoin sits in a holding pattern. In this shorter video we'll talk about what to keep an eye out for, some new mining competition and survivorship bias within crypto.

NOTE: I say “QRL” in this video, I meant to saw “QSP” for Quantstamp.

Last night we got some news that Tether was “hacked” to the tune of $30M+ which led to a quick and violent dip in BTC price. Luckily, the FUD went away quickly and now we're back on top, trying to push to new all time highs.

We'll also talk about the Bitcoin Gold release on bittrex + what you can learn from it, how to pick winners in 2018 and a helpful resource around masternodes.

Segwit2x has finally made it's move and seems to have passed without causing too much havoc. We may have dodged a bullet, however, as the 2 blocks right before the fork were not being mined properly which would have been catastrophic if more was on the line.

We'll discuss what happens next along with the current state of BTC in a parabolic growth curve. When do we know where the top is?

Markets are the final frontier of civilization – they illustrate the collective mind of the masses better than almost anything else. So far, we've talked a lot about Fundamental Analysis (FA), Macro Analysis (MA) and Technical Analysis (TA).

But what about behavioral analysis? Crypto is, of course, overwhelming a market of emotions and speculation. In today's video we'll talk about some of the foundational elements that drive people to do what they do, resulting in price swings that “make no sense” to rational economists.

We'll also discuss Square Cash's new BTC initiative and the tZero ICO.
