When we spoke on Dec. 19, I warned you to be careful about getting into Bitcoin as we head into 2018.

No, I'm not pessimistic about cryptocurrencies in general or Bitcoin in particular. In fact, just the opposite is true - I firmly believe these e-currencies are the wave of the future and still face huge upside.

My concern is for individual investors like you. At the time, Bitcoin had literally just hit the futures markets for the first time ever. And Wall Street traders, hedge funds, and other high rollers were sharpening their knives - setting Bitcoin up for massive volatility.

My call couldn't have been timelier.

Practically as I hit "send" on that report, Bitcoin fell $1,070 in a day. Not only that, but it weakened over the next few days, falling from a high of roughly $20,000 to $12,500. That's a 37.5% peak-to-trough loss.

Today, Bitcoin has swung back up to around $15,300.

For you Bitcoin veterans out there, that kind of swing is pretty normal. You folks can handle it. But for new investors, that type of volatility is hard to swallow.

So what I want to tell you today may sound a bit counterintuitive, but here we go...

Please don't cash out of Bitcoin completely.

If you do that, you'll miss out on the hard forks.

If you set yourself up correctly, these Bitcoin spin-offs could mean gains of several hundred percent.

Here's how to do that...

Why Bitcoin Was the Investment of 2017

In the past year, the price of Bitcoin has hit peak gains of some 1,900%.

Some of that can be chalked up to the crypto craze we've been seeing, no doubt. I don't know about you, but nearly every conversation I had at Christmas parties this year revolved around Bitcoin.

But what all those folks are buying - what they're hanging their hopes on - is good, old high technology. As we all know, the road to wealth is paved by tech.

See, the technology underlying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies - known as blockchain - adds new dimensions to data that layers in both time logging and other ledger characteristics that create layers of security by design.

That's what has Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and just about everyone else so excited about getting into a field that almost no one had heard of when I first started telling folks about it way back in early 2013.

Blockchain is a highly secure, cryptographic system that functions as a global distributed ledger. This system not only undergirds Bitcoin and other currencies, it also bypasses banks and governments, operates transparently, and is virtually hack-proof.

That means, almost immediately, many of us will be settling contracts with blockchain. By doing so, we'll avoid bank fees, possible litigation, and all lot of other issues that economists like to refer as "friction." Plus, you can go online and watch these transactions occurring in near real time.

Plus - and here's where it gets good - blockchain technology is the source of those hard forks... if you own some Bitcoin.

Here's what I mean...

About the Author

Browse Michael's articles |

Michael A. Robinson is a 36-year Silicon Valley veteran and one of the top tech and biotech financial analysts working today. That's because, as a consultant, senior adviser, and board member for Silicon Valley venture capital firms, Michael enjoys privileged access to pioneering CEOs, scientists, and high-profile players. And he brings this entire world of Silicon Valley "insiders" right to you...

  • He was one of five people involved in early meetings for the $160 billion "cloud" computing phenomenon.
  • He was there as Lee Iacocca and Roger Smith, the CEOs of Chrysler and GM, led the robotics revolution that saved the U.S. automotive industry.
  • As cyber-security was becoming a focus of national security, Michael was with Dave DeWalt, the CEO of McAfee, right before Intel acquired his company for $7.8 billion.

This all means the entire world is constantly seeking Michael's insight.

In addition to being a regular guest and panelist on CNBC and Fox Business, he is also a Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer and reporter. His first book Overdrawn: The Bailout of American Savings warned people about the coming financial collapse - years before the word "bailout" became a household word.

Silicon Valley defense publications vie for his analysis. He's worked for Defense Media Network and Signal Magazine, as well as The New York Times, American Enterprise, and The Wall Street Journal.

And even with decades of experience, Michael believes there has never been a moment in time quite like this.

Right now, medical breakthroughs that once took years to develop are moving at a record speed. And that means we are going to see highly lucrative biotech investment opportunities come in fast and furious.

To help you navigate the historic opportunity in biotech, Michael launched the Bio-Tech Profit Alliance.

His other publications include: Strategic Tech Investor, The Nova-X Report, Bio-Technology Profit Alliance and Nexus-9 Network.

Right now I have coinbase as my wallet. For me to benefit from these forks, I have to be in a wallet that will support all of these new coins or I won't get them. What wallet or wallets to you think my bitcoin should be in?
