Bitcoin’s price goes up, comes down, goes up, comes down. You can read every forum, every chatbox, every post on BTC and you’ll still not know who or what causes price change in BTC. By all accounts the big whales are the real ones who can manipulate it, like the recent suggestion a dump from Mt Gox wallet caused the price dip, although that’s been debunked now. Who knows, there’s a lot of people out there with big BTC wallets and a lot of people wanting to increase their BTC. So how to increase your BTC holdings? You could get knee deep in learning margin trading, but this can be a bit scary and a bit crazy. If you’re not careful you’ll leverage too high and lose lock stock the whole fucking lot.

Claiming your Bitcoin Gold (BTG) from your Bitcoin (BTC)
There seems a little confusion on this around the net, so here’s an easy way to do it, after all it’s free money so you might as well, as it currently stands BTG is worth about $130/coin. Currently there’s only a wallet on an android device for BTG called Coinomi so this is the way I’m going to claim mine, but I don’t have an Android phone, so what do I do? I use an Android Emulator on my mac. Firstly you need to secure your coins, and separate it from the block that has your BTG. So we do this by making a new wallet, that has new private keys.
