20160304 Gold, Miners, Bitcoin Tumbles

Gold and miners have had a quick bounce with significant percentage gains.  Many have damaged balance sheets and most suffer low commodity prices.

The bitcoin network hit processing limits, and transaction processing was significantly delayed. Even paying higher transaction fees was not able to keep transactions from regularly taking hours to clear. The bitcoin price dropped significantly today.


The drop a couple weeks earlier coincided with a bitcoin developer leaving the project and highlighting significant problems, including inability to process payments which was encountered today.
