Details on this [confidential Blueprint]( will only be available till February 1st From Motley Fool 3 Crypto Stocks That Were Part of an Insane Week in Digital Currencies The crypto craze has officially landed in the stock market. Everywhere you turn, yet another company is getting in on crypto, even if it means manufacturing a reason to do it. [3 Crypto Stocks That Were Part of an Insane Week in Digital Currencies] Image Source: Getty Images Already this week, three crypto related stocks saw elevated volume and volatile share prices. Traders eager to cash in on cryptocurrency-related announcements flocked to and from their shares. Here’s a summary of what happened at each company over the last week. Riot Blockchain Running out of auditors Going off the stock chart alone, Riot Blockchain has arguably done the best job of convincing the markets that its shift to the blockchain is real. But behind the scenes, SEC filings tell the tale of potential troubles for this high-flying crypto company. After the market closed last Friday, Riot Blockchain disclosed that was dropping yet another auditor, making its new auditor its third in just one year. That’s not typical. Companies in the Russell 3000 used the same auditor for a median period of 11 years, according to a 2015 study by AuditAnalytics. Helios and Matheson Analytics Crypto Cinema The company is best known for its majority stake in the theater subscription service MoviePass. For obvious reasons, the service is extraordinarily popular, recently announcing that it now has 1.5 million members. Despite the poor economics of the underlying business, shares of Helios and Matheson Analytics shares enjoyed a pop on Wednesday. This was a result of an announcement made by the company CEO Ted Farnsworth that the company had entertained the idea of doing an initial coin offering (ICO). An ICO in which it would issue its own digital coin to raise cash. Admittedly, cash has been hard to come by for Helios and Matheson. Kodak A dying brand revitalized with blockchain I saved the best for last with Kodak, a company that enjoyed a two-day, 245% increase in its stock market value. The surge happened after Kodak announced plans to create its own platform (KODAKOne) and its own digital currency (KODAKCoin). Kodak’s platform is best described as a copy-cat of Shutterstock. It’s silly, unnecessarily complex, and only makes the service more difficult for photographers and buyers to use, since it adds another step in the process Of course, this is 2018, so when a legitimate (though struggling) company said it was getting into crypto, speculators felt that more than tripling its share price was a reasonable response.

[Ripple Announces Partnership With MoneyGram To Speed Fiat Settlements] Image Source: Coin Telegraph In a blog post today, Ripple confirmed that MoneyGram would integrate Ripple’s XRP altcoin into its payment system. The integration, according to Ripple, “allows MoneyGram to solve the age-old liquidity issue most financial institutions face.” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse commented in company’s blog post announcing the partnership: “The payments problem doesn’t just affect banks; it also affects companies like MoneyGram, which help people get money to the ones they care about. By using a digital asset like XRP that settles in three seconds or less, our clients can move money as quickly as information.” Ripple has unveiled several partnership deals in recent weeks, and in the first week of 2018, the value of XRP skyrocketed to highs barely imaginable just months ago.

[Please Click Here to View it Now]( From Motley Fool My Biggest Investing Mistake — and How You Can Avoid It It was December 2016. My wife and I had finally decided to buy a house. In order to raise funds for the down payment, we were going to sell some stocks. [My Biggest Investing Mistake — and How You Can Avoid It] Image Source: Getty Images Much of the money came from liquidating 80% of our holdings in a single company. I chose that stock for one big reason: I didn’t think there was much room left for growth. It was trading with a PEG ratio of 8.2 and had a trailing price-to-free-cash-flow (P/FCF) ratio of 39, and it had just enjoyed a run-up of 20% over the previous two months. The stock I sold was IPG Photonics (NASDAQ:IPGP), an industry leader in fiber-optic lasers. And after this week’s run-up, the company’s stock has gone up nearly 172% since the date I sold. [My Biggest Investing Mistake — and How You Can Avoid It] IPGP data by YCharts I recently calculated the upside potential that I lost, and it’s in the tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, we got a house in return — a social and emotional investment that I wouldn’t trade for anything. And it would have been far smarter for me to spread my stock selling around so that I didn’t lose so much exposure to a single stock. But that’s not what this article is about. It’s about a common mistake my story highlights — one that I, and probably you, too, have committed several times. My biggest investing mistake Summed up in the simplest way possible, the fundamental investing rule I broke is this: SELLING BASED ON VALUATION ALONE — WHEN A MOAT AND OPTIONALITY ARE PRESENT — WILL COST MORE IN LOST GAINS THAN ANY POTENTIAL LOSSES. This is demonstrably true in the case of IPG Photonics. The most I could lose was 100% of my holdings — had the company gone bankrupt. But I missed out on nearly double that amount in gains.

The Blue House, the executive office and official residence of the South Korean President, has announced that there will be no cryptocurrency trading ban in the short-term. The end of South Korean crypto trading is not nigh as Yonhap reports the various government ministries need more time and more consultations. All of which can be roughly translated as – we have no idea of the impact of banning this stuff and just how much damage to the nation’s wealth could occur if we do… The result is a broad-based rally across the major cryptocurrencies… The South Korean government’s official announcement came after a massive backlash and criticism against the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry had independently announced its plans of banning cryptocurrency trading. They did this without the consent of the Ministry of Strategy and Justice and other government agencies involved in the South Korean cryptocurrency regulation task force. Tens of thousands of people filed an online petition, asking the presidential office to stop the clampdown against cryptocurrency trading. South Korea is home to one of the world’s biggest private bitcoin exchanges, with more than 2 million people estimated to own some of the best-known digital currency.

[Click here for all the shocking details.]( From Coin Telegraph The Highs and Lows of Cryptocurrency Investing One of the biggest drawcards for the cryptocurrency market as an investment opportunity has been its openness and lack of prejudice. [The Highs and Lows of Cryptocurrency Investing] Image Source: Coin Telegraph Anyone with access to the Internet can buy a crypto asset, and in most cases, see it grow exponentially. It is investing like never before seen, breaking with a number of traditional norms. Despite this obvious advancement in exclusivity, there are still huge issues around this new and burgeoning investment market. The dreaded regulation Regulation is such a polarizing word in the cryptocurrency space. Some see it as necessary for the survival and mass uptake of cryptocurrency, while others see it as the antithesis of what cryptocurrencies are trying to be. Exchange hacks With exchanges being the biggest medium of cryptocurrency movement, they become targets for hackers. Many have lost funds in apparent hacks of exchanges with little to no recourse because of the unregulated space. Turning tide Of course, the investment space is not truly the same “Wild West” it was five to seven years ago, and in fact, it is improving exponentially as people educate themselves more once entering the space. There is a balance between those who are entering the market purely because of the hype and a feeling of fomo. This leads to negatives for both those individuals and the market. These Fomo-buyers often end up in compromising positions which only leads to negative news. The importance of ease The inclusivity of the cryptocurrency market is all important, and with that, it needs to be safe and approachable for the success of this so-called digital currency revolution. Wall Street and its snooty investment profile, full of ties and briefcases, no longer fits into the global narrative. The cryptocurrency ecosystem, however, is amorphous and open. 11,000% More Profitable Than Bitcoin? Eccentric Millionaire's Strange PREDICTION While Bitcoin blasts through $17,000...
