Blockchains for Banks – Looking ahead

By now the crypto-savvy should all be aware that JP Morgan did not launch a cryptocurrency, it launched a private blockchain for its own use.

As I mentioned in the link: that was not at all surprising. What’s more, it won’t be the last such blockchain. Regardless of the dismay that Ripple fans will feel, big banks truly don’t care about crypto and would rather use their own blockchains (which they have total control of) than piggyback on somebody else’s solution.

What does this mean for crypto? Is it obsolete before it even gets off the ground?

Don’t worry. I have a

Crypto Down – After My Last Post Are You Really Surprised?

Yesterday I talked about how the rally cries throughout the crypto space had one underlying issue – bitcoin had not broken out.  It was at resistance and if it didn’t push through then hopes of a continued move were nill.
A Quick Turnaround
Less than 24 hours later we got our answer with a big fat red candle as bitcoin got smacked down by resistance in that 4100-4200 area as seen in the chart.
Just about all the other coins followed and are even trading below their prior highs that they broke above, i.e, LTC and EOS to name a couple.
Next Steps
We definitely

Party Like It’s 1964

The Dow Jones Industrial
Average DJIA rose 181 points on Friday, making it the ninth straight weekly
gain for the Dow and the first time since 1964 that the DOW rose in the first 8
weeks of a calendar year.

This recovery since the Christmas lows is primarily due to Fed Powell succumbing to the Markets demands and putting its interest-rate policy on hold. 

In addition, growing hopes that the US and China will come to a tariff agreement in the coming weeks. President Donald Trump described negotiations with Chin as having a “very good chance” of reaching a deal and as a

The market is red again, you say?

Haha. STEEM got poor gains these last few days compared to other tokens (I think we didnt even outperform BTC) and when the dump hits us we lose 11%. Good thing im starting to diversify my portfolio, moving some of my STEEM to other projects to reduce some of the risk. STEEM just seems to be slowly slipping. Outside the pump we had a few weeks ago when Bithumb opened transfers again, STEEM has mostly followed the rest of the market, but with poor gains and sharper drops.

March is a few days away and im hoping, finally, we will hear some SMT news. They promised the testnet on March 1. and as much as im skeptical that Steemit.inc will deliver, im hopeful just the same.

State of things.


I promised myself 3 things when i bought STEEM.

  1. I will not hold Bitcoin!
  2. I will not sell for fiat!
  3. I will not cry if i lose all my money!

Haha.

So far im standing strong although every market shift feels like someone is poking me with a hot poker since i know im missing out by not doing smart and obvious trades.

Oh well, cant wait for another slow build up and sharp drop. Kudos for @enforcer48 for calling it. haha.

Ill see you around. 😉

Steem Monsters// Tournaments update// Thoughts

Those who know me know my position on Steem Monsters. That game is making me rich AF so i love it to death. hehe.
Today/Yesterday Steem monsters came out with an update which i think is probably the most significant one since the battles were introduced.

Tournaments.

Prior to the release of tournaments, Steem monsters did have tournaments that were organized for most part on off-chain sites (cant remember the name) and discord, but that made the whole experience tedious and annoying. You would have to shout out names in the discord chat, people wouldnt show up, then you would annoy @aggroed or @yabapmatt with questions and then theyd put timers on discord messages and then folks would mistakenly type in the wrong results, etc etc etc..

Can i please call this a win? Can i Aggroed, can i please? I waited for 20 mins already.

It was just supremely annoying and would take way too long. I played a couple tournaments but the waiting and not knowing when the next game will be was just boring and took away from the experience.
But now we have a pretty UI.

The look of the Tournaments tab i think is perfect.

  1. Shows all the necessary information.
  2. Looks slick.
  3. its extremely intuitive and you pick up how it works almost instantly.

The strongest part of this update is that you can simply jump in a tournament when ever you feel like when youre browsing your collection or doing your dailies. You just check the tournament list, see a tournament happening in 10-15 minutes, grab a glass of Whiskey (imperative) and just jump in.
I cant even describe how big of an improvement that is over having to jump between 10 screens, discord chat rooms, DMs, etc.

I was intending to try out a tournament today but i literally missed the check-in at 15:00 by less then 1 minute so all you get are a few screenshots this time.

Now that Steem Monsters has competition in the gaming department on the Steem blockchain i have a feeling that we will see a bit more innovation and quicker improvements which is always a good thing for the user base.

Side note: A birdie told me that some whales and investors arent really happy with some of the choices Aggroed and Matt made with Steem Monsters and a lot of them started looking towards DrugWars which could add some more urgency to the work Steem Monsters devs are doing.

Cant wait to see what happens next.

These last few days we are only getting good news. Hopefully Steem and BTS gain some more momentum in the market and my joy-meter will show FuLL. Then ill be able to treat myself with that bottle of Jack ive been eyeing on my neighborhood store shelf these last few days…

Ill see you around.

Elliott Wave Analysis

In Elliott Wave terms, I-House Token began a wave one advance on December 20, 2018. The red wave one (blue sub-waves i-ii-iii-iv-v) finished on January 14 this year, and the red wave two (blue sub-waves a-b-c) correction ended on February 20. If this wave count is correct, I-House Token should be heading next towards the January 14 peak in the red wave three.

Universal Display Corporation Is Lighting Up Again

Universal Display Corporation engages in the research, development, and commercialization of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies and materials for use in flat panel displays and solid-state lighting applications.

Universal Display Corp is probably best known for being the OLED screen in the iPhone X and all three of Apple’s 2019 iPhone models.

Despite slumping iPhone sales, Universal Display Corp. recently announced earnings this past week of $0.40 / share on sales of $70.1 million in the December quarter. Analysts expected Universal Display earnings of $0.34 cents / share on sales of $70 million.  On the news the stock price rose

Bitcoin about to make a higher high?? Crypto moving up!

Let’s talk some Bitcoin! Talk about some bullish momentum finally. We have now taken back 3 months worth of price action, in ONE Week. This is very good news and the next thing we want to see is this weekly candle close strong tomorrow over the most recent high. After the 2018 bear we finally have some movement here. This rip, as you can already see is going up fast and bitcoin is not even the leader in the Alt world right now. EOS is killing it going from sub $2 to $4+.

I am watching this 4260 area. A print
