HackMiami Cryptomarket Analysis Proven Correct: Litecoin More than Doubles the Price of Silver, Bitcoin Nearly Matches Price of Gold
As of the time of writing, the price for Bitcoin and Litecoin has followed the pattern predicted in the conclusion of the recent HackMiami whitepaper, ‘Analysis of the Cryptocurrency Marketplace.’
BTC/LTC mining difficulty rates have shifted significantly due to a proliferation of ASIC mining hardware, and GPU miners have shifted into alternative cryptocurrencies, primarily Litecoin. As a result, at the time of writing the price of Bitcoin has risen to over $1000 USD and Litecoin topped $40 USD as per MtGox.com and BTC-e.com exchange platforms. Current market rates report gold at $1241 USD per ounce and silver at $19.69 per ounce, as per Kitco.com prices.
As the difficulty rates and value increase for both Bitcoin and Litecoin, new alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) continue to appear on the market. One promising altcoin that has emerged is PrimeCoin (XPM), which seems to exist for the sole purpose of commodities arbitrage.
The unique aspect of this particular cryptocommodity is the protocol is designed to only make use of CPU resources for mining, moving away from computationally intensive hardware requirements such as ASIC to a more simplistic lightweight alternative. This emergence opens up the opportunities for mining and trading among a demographic that may not have mass quantities of computational power available, yet still wish to participate in new emerging economies.

This project will track aggregate market movements that are customized to the demands of the user, in order to provide the most up-to-date open source intelligence and trends related to various cryptocurrency marketplaces.
A comprehensive understanding of this new ecosystem while having instant access to aggregated cryptocurrency market intelligence has resulted in independent successes of several friends of HackMiami cryptocurrency analysts. Some of these independent sponsors have shown their appreciation to HackMiami, and more importantly, those who are fans of HackMiami work, in the form of round trip airfare giveaways to the Winter Hacker Festival and concert sponsorship. Event organizers have slashed admission ticket prices as of Black Friday 11/29/2013 and Cyber Monday, 12/2/2013, as a result of the generosity of the information security community and their cumulatively wise investment strategies.
“When I got those first bulk shipments of 7950 GPU’s,” stated one Anonymous sponsor,
“some of my supposed friends and prospective business partners doubted the rationality of the decision.”
Another event sponsor interjected with the remarks, “Now we ridin’ 22 inch spinners from those 2 inch GPU fans. #LOLMONEY.”
The event sponsor actually said 'hashtag' before 'LOLMONEY,' and then began to rap, in freestyle form, about a recent spate good luck, quick riches, and the potential dangers of pride and reckless spending habits.
"The current market situation could very well be a bubble," warned the freestyling event sponsor, “What goes up, must come down."
