In the evening on Sunday, Bitcoin tested a new historical maximum, having fixed above $ 8,000. At the Bitfinex exchange, the exchange rate was a record $ 8,130, Bitstamp and GDAX did not get much to the $ 8,100 mark. In addition, although the difference with the previous maximum was insignificant, it sets up certain positive thoughts. It seems that the news that LedgerX, the operator of the currency exchange, launched the first long-term Bitcoin futures option, forced the crypto currency to go again after the consolidation, which lasted several days.

The list of detractors of cryptocurrency is very large - from company executives to representatives of central banks. Perhaps, the greatest irritation is observed among officials and parliamentarians. However, if most states are limited to attempts to apply regulatory measures to Bitcoins, there are also those who go much further and issue laws prohibiting the use of cryptocurrency.

On November 15, the Chinese stock exchange OKCoin showed the value of the Bitcoin price above $ 15,000: on social networks, comments began to appear on the strange dynamics at OKCoin, the chart of which showed a 24.3 hour increase in Bitcoin at 123.21%, resulting in a new historic maximum of $ 15,151.

Bitcoin futures on major stock and commodity exchanges are the hottest topic of the month. The other day CME Group said that the launch of contract trading Bitcoins is a matter of several weeks. This will allow large investors to speculate on the price of Bitcoin, not having the most crypto currency in the portfolio. Earlier CBOE - another Chicago exchange, a competitor to CME, reported on the preparation of the launch of the stock market Bitcoin. And now the British Man Group can become the next company that will launch Bitcoin futures.

Michael Novogratz, former head of the hedge fund of the Fortress Investment Group, who recently became a cryptocurrency investor, noted that he believes that institutional investors are only a few weeks from the mass adoption of Bitcoin and the Ethereum. 

With what only predictions of Bitcoin prices we have not encountered lately! 

Even before bitcoin was invented, the British economist John Maynard Keynes developed a technique of calculation the annual interest rate of the crypto currency. According to experts, now it is about 57%. Born June 5, 1883 in English Cambridge, Keynes witnessed a tumultuous period in British history. After passing through the Boer War, both world wars and the world economic depression, he passed away on April 21, 1946. During his life he became famous as one of the world's leading economists. His most famous work is The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, which was published in 1936 and became a model for future economic thought.

In five years, the use of state currencies will come to naught, since they will be replaced by cryptocurrencies. 

The popularity of the crypto-currency markets is growing rapidly, and this is not surprising, since the price of bitcoin has risen by 60% in just one last month. However, along with the passing of the mark of 7000 dollars for BTC, the congestion of the blocks again increased, as well as the commission of the miners. This was the reason for users' displeasure with unconfirmed transactions and the need to pay 5-10 dollars per transaction. The actual cancellation of the SegWit2X's hardfork not only does not solve the crisis of scaling, but rather aggravates it, since other solutions still do not work, and even activated more than two months ago SegWit has not been put into operation to the full.
