BitPanel Holiday Party: Grounded for Maintenance or To The Moon? BTC Price!
Details
This BitPanel will be all about the price of bitcoin--the ups the downs and what they mean for the future of this technology. Our panelists will explore the history of the price, their former predictions and where they went right or wrong, and future predictions. Fascination with Bitcoin always increases with the price but some would argue we need stability. We'll be exploring the diverse opinions around the price on what's sure to be a lively BitPanel.
The BitPanel will feature Tone Vays of BraveNewCoin (http://bravenewcoin.com/), Steve Michaels of Digital Currency Institute (http://digitalcurrencyinstitute.org/), and Harry Yeh of Binary Financial (http://binaryfin.com/)!
