5 Stocks to Watch as Bitcoin Soars Past $20,000
Bitcoin has defied the odds again and pushed to new all-time highs.
This once fringe concept is now in the mainstream. Senator-elect Cynthia Lummis, a Republican from Wyoming, is a bitcoin bull. She warned that government overspending could lead to a black swan event — and bitcoin could help the world stabilize afterward.
Even gold is suffering as a result of bitcoin’s popularity. Bankers at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) said the trend is likely to continue.
The 2017 bull run ended near $20,000. Many said the scheme was up and Bitcoin was headed to zero.
But the conditions are ripe for an alternate store of value. The Fed continues to print money at a record pace. Stocks appear overbought. It’s even been said that we’re in a bubble. People are seeking safer havens to store their wealth.
Bitcoin is a digital currency outside of any government control. The supply is limited to 21 million bitcoins. About 18.5 million are currently in circulation.
The price spike to $20,800 occurred exactly three years to the day of its 2017 peak. It’s also happened just hours before the Fed is expected to announce it will continue pumping $120 billion per month into the financial systems.
Several small-cap stocks are rising dramatically in price as the world’s best-known cryptocurrency rallies. These include:

Bit Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: BTBT)
This company is in the bitcoin mining business.
Nxt-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD)
Nxt-ID enables contactless bitcoin payments at millions of retailers.
Code Chain New Continent Limited (NASDAQ: CCNC)
This is a Chinese based company; there are unconfirmed rumors this company is moving into the crypto space.
Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA)
Marathon Patent Group operates a cryptocurrency mining business for a range of assets including bitcoin.
Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT)
They’re also a bitcoin miner with expanded operations to support blockchain services and payment systems.
To believers in bitcoin, the price spike comes as no surprise. CNN declared bitcoin to be the “investment of the decade.” Investors who bought when it was first available in 2010 and held until the end of 2019 returned 90,000%.

Hey Everyone,
As many of you already know I grew up in a middle class family and didn't have many luxuries. But through trading I was able to change my circumstances --not just for me -- but for my parents as well. I now want to help you and thousands of other people from all around the world achieve similar results!
Which is why I've launched my Trading Challenge. I’m extremely determined to create a millionaire trader out of one my students and hopefully it will be you.
So when you get a chance make sure you check it out.
PS: Don’t forget to check out my 30 Day Bootcamp, it will teach you everything you need to know about trading.

NXTD is related to Bitcoin? You really are a moron.
Am I? Read this press release by NXTD: Nxt-ID, Inc. Announces Filing of Form 10 Registration Statement for Planned Spin-Off of its Payments Business.
Pay particular attention to this part…
“PartX’s core capabilities also include the development of payment and authentication devices that leverage NFC (near field communication), cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology. It is currently developing secure, connected devices that are focused on digital payments and loyalty programs, which will be distributed through partnerships and offered direct to consumers. The assets of the new company will include a portfolio of payment, authentication and blockchain technology patents that have been filed by or issued to Nxt-ID and Fit Pay.”
Yes, they spun-off their payment biz. But NXTD is still involved in fintech as per its website:
“NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD) has extensive experience in access control, biometric and behavior-metric identity verification, security and privacy, encryption and data protection, payments, miniaturization and sensor technologies.”
AND it’s still remembered by traders as a crypto sympathy play. I’m offended by your sheer laziness. STOP BEING SO LAZY! Your laziness/attitude prevents you from capitalizing. Give me 50 burpees and DO BETTER!
