So if you look above last two jumps were decent maybe rates are going to continue to be stable for a while maybe not.

okay You need a 30 post minimum
you need to be on site since Jan 31 2016
this is {b]free[/b] so if you make a pick you abide by my rules.
only 1 entry once you make it you can not change it.
I now have .5 btc to give away.
This starts at .1 btc but if everyone misses it I will roll it over.
Lastly I plan to add enough btc to this to go 1 week past the ½ ing
At that point I may change the format quite a bit.
Picks do not start until the 600th block but feel free to spec.
