New Bitcoin Core 0.16.0 Will Feature New Code

Core is officially being updated and this could be the most exciting update that we have seen in almost ever. Everyone's complaints with Bitcoin is normally about transfer times and transfer costs and early in 2017 we did see transaction costs spiralling into silly money, well this could possibly be about to change forever

Bitcoin Core 0.16.0 will officially support Segwit which focuses on scaling the network to be faster and cheaper. Although Segwit has been around for a little while now its not until recently we have seen further adoption which has seen the amount of waiting transactions in the mempool drop drastically. Also along with Coinbase confirming they are in the final processes of adding Segwit support themselves this (until lightening network) could be one of the biggest changes we see to Bitcoin Core yet.

Release I believe is expected around the 1st May

Bitcoin Reaches New All Time High

Over the last 24 hours there has been a mad flurry of activity within the Bitcoin market, first we see Bitcoin go on a huge run and break the $5000 barrier. Then I wake up in the morning to find out that Bitcoin peaked at $5854!!

I was amazed and shocked, $5000 was enough for me I really did not think we were going to carry on and run nearly to six thousand. I see six thousand dollars being really achievable now before the end of the year, although I will wait before I make anymore decisions and see what Bitcoin Gold will do to the price. I am expecting it to dip, not massively but I think we will see a dip mainly because people are stocking up on Bitcoin so they can claim their own Bitcoin gold. Then once they have sold their Bitcoin Gold (which I believe most people will dump straight away) they will re invest their money into altcoins and they will see a huge push in price

The altcoin market is slumped at the moment what with Bittrex having some strange goings on as we saw everything on Bittrex drop in price, and also like I said above people selling off their altcoins to have as much Bitcoin for the Bitcoin Gold Drop.

Could we really see peoples predictions of $10k next year become true? I really think it will depend on how the 25th October pans out

Claim Your Free ByteBall Now

So quite often I watch the announcement on Bitcointalk and see the amount of coins that get posted, and in all honesty I do not tend to bother with many of them. Byteball on the other hand seems to be a bit of a no brainer for me, especially when getting coins is so so easy if you have  a BTC balance.

  All that is required is to download their Byteball wallet and then send a signed message from your BTC wallet to receive Byteball in the next round. Now this is only for a limited time they will not be doing it for long, I believe the next round is April 11th so you will need to be quick! Also I recommend just sending a signed message from your BTC wallet rather than sending actual BTC

You can get the wallet from their official site
