The Trace3 Blog. Author: Mark A Campbell, Research Principal, Trace3 In August 16, 1896 a Yukon trapper named “Skookum Jim” discovered gold on the banks of Bonanza Creek. Word finally reached Seattle and San Francisco a year later triggering the Klondike Gold Rush – the frozen north was invaded by 40,000 “Cheechakos” (newcomers). Thousands of claims were filed, boom towns sprang up and Dawson City saloons were selling French champagne for $60 a bottle ($1,600 in today’s money). But in only 14 months it was all over. In the summer of 1898 the Cheechakos horde swarmed to Nome, then Fairbanks, Nevada, Kenya… Only a few found lasting wealth in the Klondike: Fast forward to 2014.
Although Bitcoin is still in the claim staking stage of the Klondike timeline, we can already make a few predictions as to whom the winners will be: Here’s a guess…..

Research Firm Cuts Managed Services Spending Forecast | MSPmentor Managed Services News & Blog. Finally, a healthy dose of reality from a market research firm. While many pundits evangelize managed services as recession proof, Insight Research has adjusted its annual managed services forecast downward. In other words, Insight says the managed services market is growing -- but not as quickly as previously expected. Just like you, MSPmentor wants to see this market thrive. But I also welcome responsible research. Take a look. First, the good news: Despite the slowdown in all US economic sectors, spending on managed services is expected to grow at a compounded rate of nearly eight percent over the next five years, according to a press release from Insight Research. "Make no mistakes about it, while telecom is faring better than many other segments of the economy, the recession is certainly having a negative impact on growth, which required that we adjust our annual managed services forecasts downward," wrote Robert Rosenberg, Insight's president.
