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'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

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 do finance professionals want to know about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies?
I have NO idea BUT... Here's a couple of things I would do if I were in your position and trying to find out. 1. Look at the questions on Quora related to this topic. 2. Look at the questions and topics being discussed in LinkedIn groups. 3. Survey the people you intend to give your talk to before creating the talk. 4. Search for the topic using Twitter search and Facebook search. 5. Go to Amazon, search the words "Crytocurrency" etc. and see what books have recently been released about the topic. 6. Find a really popular website for finance professionals and ask to run a survey to their audience through their mailing list, website etc. re Bitcoin. Use this survey info to inform your talk. If I were to pick just one, I'd go with the last one. Good luck with your talk.SC

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
