-Bitcoin Sentiment-
1. Fear(0)/Greed(100) Index: 70/100 (Even)

Analyst Comments (AC): Trump’s win will usher Bitcoin into even more worldwide acceptance, with any effort at building a Bitcoin Reserve foremost among stimulants to Bitcoin adoption. The economic use of Bitcoin as a store of value has been proven and accepted by individuals and institutions, continuing to increase. As a medium of exchange and unit of account, Bitcoin still has a long way to go, but in this hyper-connected world this could happen quickly following the expected efforts of such a Bitcoin-friendly administration.
