Tag: Gold Standard

When you see something titled ‘Bitcoin 2018 Predictions’, you are probably most interested in just one thing: ‘Where will it go?’ So let’s start there, but then add some other observations on a variety of topics.

Bitcoin’s primary ‘real’ use case right now is personal asset protection. Yes, that includes money laundering and tax evasion. But it also incorporates the legitimate desire of honest people living in countries with less-than-exemplary rules of law to shield some of their assets.
