Is the mob rush for bitcoin finally over all will the roller coaster ride continue in the next yeah after swinging wildly over the holidays we are counted cryptocurrency ever become a sound investment choice. And cashing in on sound how the selfstyled home of father christmas in finland is drawing tourists from all over asia. Also on the show chinas new silk road and nine hundred billion dollars of Infrastructure Investment revive the oldest trade route in the world. A welcome to do your business im good how the office because wild swings continue over the Holiday Season prices have ranged between eleven thousand seven hundred and fourteen thousand seven hundred u. S. Dollars just within the last twenty four hours because officially ended a bear market on thursday technically a bear market is defined as a twenty percent plunge some observers suggest that many investors work cashing in on Massive Gains across the board as they close their books ahead of the holidays despite the reasons selloff overall bitcoin has still rallied since the beginning of the year by around eleven hundred percent. Were going to have a close look at bitcoin for that im joined by laws house and from a business that last full disclosure you recently bought bitcoin yourself when did you get in and how did it go or get out i was unfortunately a little late to the game im still up a ball at fifty percent so im pretty happy with the way it is going yes but i was of course up a lot more about last week because we have to just seen that correction over christmas so they are these are really a wild swings but its going pretty well and very low level that im in here are you Comfortable Holding on to it or are you nervously waiting to just get rid of it as soon as it kind of looks on this and im very comfortable with it but it has to do with very little money of course that i have put in i am doing this a little bit as an experiment too because i want to gain a little bit of experience with bitcoin to learn a little bit of how it works how theyre liable and is and ive got to tell you from a purely financial perspective looking at the. Bitcoin im very comfortable because as i said i dont have too much money in there but i noticed a couple of things over the last couple weeks already and those have me more worried than the volatility in the value and that is technical stuff technical glitches the system is often down for hours you cannot place buy or sell orders or sometimes the executed only a day later or hours later and those are things that i have never seen happen on lets say a Stock Exchange or with a bank or so so theres a lot of factors here besides the higher volatility that make this a High Risk Investment for me im learning from it but i would not be Comfortable Holding a lot of money and bitcoin i mean this year twenty seven was mad regarding bitcoin. Expect this to go on in the next year it will probably go on if you look at it from the perspective of this being mad this being a wild ride because we have high volatility and this is definite going to continue theres no stability in that what we will not see im pretty sure is another rally like weve seen in twenty seventeen up eleven hundred i think last time i checked was Thirteen Hundred percent this year that is insane and we will not see this the most optimistic list that ive heard so far has said that bitcoin could reach forty thousand dollars by the end of twenty eighteen so maybe we are indeed looking at the big con to triple or quadruple maybe in value but it will not go on like this ten fold twelve fold or so very briefly your long term perspective for bitcoin i dont see it as a currency long term i really think it might be more of a commodity an Investment Vehicle for high risk people but i really dont think its going anywhere whats very interesting is the blocked technology and that will definitely influence technology a lot more lost out of your business this bitcoin investor thank you very much your analysis. Going to let you in folklore santa claus doesnt live at the north pole but in the north of finland in lapland a small village that stiles is self as the home of father christmas to attract tourists sounds tacky and it actually is but most visitors from asia just loving it. Its a Winter Wonderland at santa claus village just outside the city of rovaniemi more than three hundred thousand tourists come here each year with high seas and in december here in northern finland they can enjoy a reindeer ride and join in the festive holiday spirit people from warmer climates are particularly fond of the snow. People here are very friendly and was here is quite different. Be and its really. Like holiday everywhere a few years ago many of the visitors came from neighboring russia they helped drive up revenue in santa claus village but times have changed. But the last season alone we did witness hundred percent growth of Chinese Markets and also the overnights from from singapore and they will they are big numbers from the others asian markets as well but those are the. Snowslide snowman and us no bar theres plenty to please the tourists. Like you should. Be said to. Really love the road here because in the poison very very hot country nearby commendations are convenient for the many guests this typical finnish style hotel cost six Million Euros to build and was financed by chinese investors they can turn a good profit in lapland with the help of asian tourists and some are likely to return next year after warmly recommending the finnish winter to their friends. China is of course one of the most important economies in the. Today building on a centuries old tradition as a great trading nation a thousand years ago caravans of camels brought porcelain spices and silk from china to the rest of the world using a network of trade routes called the silk road now china is reviving that tradition with a gigantic Infrastructure Project called the new silk road beijing is earmarks nine hundred billion dollars for it the project includes all sorts of transport hubs including roads bridges Railway Lines ports and airports both in china and abroad this week well have a closer look at the different stations and routes of the silk road project and we begin in the former Imperial City of sheer in the east of the country the starting point of the historic and the modern silk road from here it leads westward for three and a half thousand kilometers until it reaches hawkers at the border with kazakhstan and theres nothing historic about hawkers its a new town founded only four years ago thanks to tax breaks business is brisk Twelve Thousand companies have already settled there to cash in on the flow of goods from east to west and that also means thousands of new jobs were created to help keep the goods flowing along the new silk road. On the outskirts of ceann three men are preparing for a modern day silk road caravan soon surely examines the assignment and says theyll take the highway for the entire route. Theyre going to deliver to dump trucks that have just rolled off the assembly line. C n is a city with millions of residents and was the capital of china during several dynasties more than two thousand years ago c. N. N. Was the starting point of the renowned silk road. Camel caravans transported silk and other goods to europe until the middle ages. Gold and jewelry were brought to china. If everything runs smoothly the men will reach whore gas in six or seven days its a border city in northwestern china thats where the kyrgyz is a client will pick up the trucks. There of course its a long trip but i like traveling this route ive been doing it for the past four or five years i really like it. The truckers have a three and a half thousand kilometer journey ahead of them. China has expanded the route substantially in recent years beijing has earmarked some nine hundred billion dollars for its new silk road including roads railways lines pipelines ports and airports. The route goes through breathtaking landscapes the colorful mountains were barely known until a few years ago now theyre a tourist attraction many people here hope to benefit from the new silk road. The oasis city of don juan is already reaping the rewards part of the desert is a National Park and camels now transport tourists instead of goods. Some sean lee doesnt pay much attention to the beauty of the landscape he often thinks about his ten year old son on a model he frequently calls him since the two seldom see each other. On organization and become a truck driver its too dangerous the army could be good for him because you can develop a strong character there. The last province on the route is shin john where the muslim turkic speaking wiggers complain of discrimination china is often accused of suppressing the ethnic group in its efforts to fight terrorism investment along the new silk road may help ease the situation and defuse the conflict. The three drivers are close to that destination spending the last night at a highway rest area it costs two dollars cheap enough for their limited budget they can finally get some rest and have a smoke so when hes not sure they get used to this life. The next day theyll reach their final destination on the border with kazakhstan and then return to ceann by train.
