MenuIs there a place where I can find detailed reports on bitcoin?
Looking for analysis
Answers
I use www.coindesk.com + search YouTube for "bitcoin 2013". There's everything from the talks at Bitcoint 2013 conference to podcast interviews with lead engineer.
Also, there's 3 amazing Clarity experts who can shed some light.
Hi, I run CoinForest.com a bitcoin based ecommerce store, I also write regularly on trends related to Bitcoin, and have been published on Forbes.com.
Here are the places to keep an eye on for things as they emerge:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/
This page will get you all the news you need. Any big news like a major bank report will almost always make it to the top there.
http://coindesk.com
Is often just behind Reddit, with a bit more analysis on it.
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/
Bitcoin magazine tends to have longer articles, with some more in depth analysis around all aspects of the Bitcoin world, including politics, mining, business, and is especially a great resource for explaining technical aspects of the Bitcoin protocol.
http://thegenesisblock.com/category/economics/
The Genesis Block tends to focus on technical analysis of trends in mining and economics, and they do a damn good job of it.
Those are the places to monitor. I have a sense that you're perhaps looking for some reports by financial institutions. Here are a few articles about major institutions comments and analysis on Bitcoin:

I don't give investment advice, but if you'd like an overview of things, I'd be happy to talk.
Most of these folks have proffered the good ones, but there's one more I must highlight:

What are the different ways to make money with Bitcoin?
I've been into bitcoin since 2011, and here's my brief take on where the opportunity lies. - Mining: Bitcoin mining is too difficult unless you invest a significant amount of money into it, think over $10,000 ... and it only becomes profitable if the price of bitcoin does another 10X (which it may. - Mining: Altcoins may be the quicker path to profits (http://coinmarketcap.com/) ... mine some altcoins and then converting them to bitcoin through one of the exchanges like cryptsy.com - Buying: I am waiting for another price crash before I buy back into bitcon, I'm hoping it will drop to $500. I see it rising back up over $2000 if it does drop, however now that the Chinese are into bitcoin, its a real possibility that the price will just keep rising. - Arbitrage: The price difference between exchanges is massive. You can now buy bitcoin at btc-e for $1000 and sell it instantly at mtgox.com for $1200. If you had $100,000 to arbitrage with, that is a cool $20,000 profit. The probem is that these exchanges may go down at any time and you risk losing your money/bitcoins. -Startup: You could build something with real value, although the competition now is fierce to build a product with real value that has not already been built. VC's are getting hot for bitcoin startups, check out press on Ripple Labs, BTC China, BitInstant, Coinbase, etc. There are some other opportunities, like buying a bitcoin ATM machine from a franchise (Robocoin, Lamassus) or something a little more in the grey area like starting a bitcoin casino. There's lots of opportunity in cryptocurrency if you look hard enough, I feel though that the window of opportunity for massive profits and value creation is narrowing due to the eyeballs looking at the bitcoin world right now. So whatever you want to do, take massive action and do it fast before you lose momentum and first movers advantage.BM

What's the difference between a cryptocurrency coin and token? Is one any better than the other?
Although it appears to be semantics, it does make quite a big difference for a cryptocurrency as to whether it’s a coin or a token. A “coin” has an entirely different blockchain from all the other coins that are out there while a “token” is built upon an existing blockchain project. A “coin” is usually built using open-source blockchain code so what’s underpinning many of the coins that are out there is a very similar architecture. Many projects will add some unique features to build upon what’s open-source, but the foundation is mostly identical. A “token,” these days, is most often built upon Ethereum, becoming an ERC-20 token. The web architecture of the Ethereum blockchain is robust and familiar, so developers often opt to use this to streamline their coin. One disadvantage is if the Ethereum network gets overloaded, the cost of interacting with a smart contract or sending your crypto from wallet to wallet is going to be relatively expensive. It largely depends on how ambitious you want to be with your project and how it best fits your crypto's use case. It's important to remember too that what you started out as you don't have to stay forever. Your project can always fork over to become a new coin or a token on whatever blockchain your team believes makes the most sense.AA

What's a "meta coin" in the Bitcoin world?
Meta coins are just another name for altcoins that are issued on the ledger of another coin or cryptocurrency platform. IE Ripple, Mastercoin, Ethereum, NXT are example of standalone blockchains/legers where you can issue new coins that transact on top of that network. metacoins can also be referred to as Digital Assets, Smart Contracts, DACs, DAOs, etc. There's a lot of buzz words around altcoins, the terms are fragmented since the industry is just starting.BM

Is investing in Bitcoin and similar wallets Islamically Halal (allowed) or prohibited? Same question on stocks too. Thank you!
Sara
I'm Joe Bradford, a scholar of Islamic finance and an advisor. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are permissible to purchase as long as they meet a few basic stipulations: the use case that they were created for is permissible, they act as a store of value, and they are a medium of exchange. While most cryptocurrencies will fulfill the last two stipulations there are some like meme coins etc that don't have actual use cases and no real utility other than being used for manipulation and pump and dumps. Those coins should be avoided outright. for more information on the topic you can check out my website where I have several articles and videos about the topic or schedule a call with me to discuss any intricacies about a coin you are looking to purchase.JB
