Bitcoin extended its selloff Wednesday, with prices of the cryptocurrency falling below $10,000 on some exchanges. Bitcoin lost nearly half its value from its record high last month. James Altucher, Managing Director at Formula Capital, was with us to discuss whether we will see another rally in the market.
Altucher stresses that a year ago bitcoin was at $1,000. The reality is, people who are long-term believers have been winning and it's not too late for others, he says. The real opportunity is adoption by institutions, which he says is going to drive up prices significantly. Altucher says they are slow to get in on the trade because they aren’t sure how to regulate it.
The financial guru says 95% to 98% of cryptocurrencies are scams and will be wiped out. The real purpose of cryptocurrency is to solve problems created by a paper currency. He says start with bitcoin and ethereum, then do research to find the coins that solve a real problem.
You'll just have to wait for interest rates (and prices) to go down. Plus, this deal's a steel, the big carmaker wedding is off, and bribery is back, baby!
It’s a chicken-and-egg problem: Restaurants are struggling with record-high U.S. egg prices, but their omelets, scrambles and huevos rancheros may be part of the problem.

Fast-food chains like Starbucks and Wendy's added more egg-filled breakfast items. In normal times, egg producers could meet the demand. But a bird flu outbreak that has forced them to slaughter their flocks is making supplies scarcer and pushing up prices. Some restaurants like Waffle House have added a surcharge to offset their costs.

The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
