Continued disconnect between sanctioned fiat/Bitcoin interfaces and informed trades converting these two different kinds of currency suggest fiat/Bitcoin interfaces may begin reporting Magenta as a price by the end of 2017. Other outlets are projecting the US dollar may fall to 1/2000th to 1/2100th some time in 2017 based on inflation, interest rates, and the strength of the dollar which they predict to all rise with the inauguration and summoning of The Great Again. Such projections gravely underestimate the existing strain on the tenuous connections between the various fiat/Bitcoin interfaces and reality.¹ Sorry for your loss.
