You see that Shakeout? #bitcoin

This is the type of action you want to see st or near bottoms and turns. Spikes down in price and then rip-your-face-off rallies back through the drop. Take a look…

I love seeing this. We are going to see many shakeouts along the way up here and this type of action is EXACTLY what you want to see at big turns. People buying every damn dip because they don’t know when or if it will dip again. We are still in the monster accumulation zone for the next bubble. Keep accumulating baby! Long.

Etsy Keeps On Rolling

I first wrote about Etsy eight months ago,

Don’t Call It A Comeback, Etsy Been Doing It For Years

I truly thought Etsy was going to be Amazon’s next meal and because Ebay was also in the marketplace, seriously considered shorting Etsy at the time.

But this still doesn’t explain why didn’t Amazon eat Etsy for lunch? Then after digging into the matter more, I found the following:

Sellers like Etsy because they release the funds immediately to the seller after the sale closes. Amazon Handmade holds the funds until the order ships.

Etsy has no seller fees and only changes by product listing after

Bitcoin Technical Analysis: VOLUME TAPERS OFF AS THE MARKET STALLS

Bitcoin continues to consolidate right around the $3,800 support. Volume is slowly dropping off.

Looking at the 4 hour chart, the Bollinger bands are severely bottlenecking. This suggests price is preparing to move.

In today’s video analysis I discuss where price may be heading next, key areas to watch and so much more. I hope you find it helpful.

Dtube review // Steem blockchain

So… @oracle-d decided to create another task for us Homo Steemiens to write about. You can read more about it here so i dont go on needlessly. LINK: https://steemit.com/social/@dapplovers/review-a-social-dapp-and-earn-rewards-ft-state-of-the-dapps

Theres going to be enough needless text below.

I was deliberating with myself for a while as to which Dapp i should choose for review. Yesterday i reviewed Trybe (EOS) and i found the current state of it, in reviewer terms (or 6th grader terms), to be “blagh”.
Few days before that i reviewed the new Whaleshares look.
This time i was going to be smart about my pick. Maximize what i could earn from the review by picking a dapp with a ton of Nedelegation that will reward me for being a jolly good sweet talker..
That is why i picked:

Dlive!

oh wait. whoops

No, no.
Its Dtube, im picking Dtube.

The youtube of STEEM with a capital “D”.
“D”, because you know they’re packing, good ideas.

Anyways… The review, um.

There are a few reasons why i picked Dtube. For one, its one of the most resource intensive projects on the STEEM blockchain that has an extremely ambitious goal of becoming competitive in the global market of video sharing platforms.
This is something that i actually think Dtube could achieve.
We have seen time and time again that any video sharing platform that would even try to challenge Youtube would fail tremendously. They would fail for the simple reason of not being to take off because of the magic circle of: Creator-consumer-advertiser.
All 3 need to exist on the platform, for a platform to take off, be sustainable, but unfortunately no other platform could achieve the trifecta no matter how much they would reduce their cut of their revenue.

Dtube is different, not to go into a lot of detail, because it uses the power of the STEEM blockchain. There is no complete dependence on advertiser money and the wealth distribution is such, that while in “legacy markets” the earning potential existed only for the platform+Creator, with STEEM consumer is added to the mix. Monetizing their attention and engagement.
But you already know this so lets get into something else. The user experience.

Oh boy.

Content placement.

Ok. If im being completely honest, i have never in my one year using STEEM clicked on Dtubes “Hot/Trending” page. Not one time. And im someone that (from another account) uploaded dozens of videos to Dtube and was using dtube almost daily for 6 months.
Still, never once did i look at the trending page.
Ill try to explain why that is as simply as i can.

When the content placement depends on vote cast by “1 person + DTube”, then what users of your site are seeing isnt “the wisdom of the crowd” on the trending page but rather the_autovoter_ preferences of a whale and the continuity rewarding tendency of the DTUBE curation team.
In a way, there is more centralization in what im being told to watch on Dtube then there is on Youtube.

https://media.giphy.com/media/DBa308wq8XTMs/giphy.gif

And this is not something that is hard to change. Dtube has control over how it wants to show its content.

Design.

There is really not much to say here. The design is basic.
As i said in the intro, i made a Trybe review yesterday and i pointed out a few things that bothered me. The site itself had some terrible design ideas, was extremely convoluted and it ran poorly.
Dtube does not run poorly and is not convoluted, on the contrary, but it does look extremely basic and does a poor job explaining what anything is about..
Take this for example.
Dtalk-Push my Dtalk key on Steem.

A person clicking on the Dtalk tab will see this and think:

What is Steem? What is Dtalk? What conversation?

Its very unintuitive and even though you could say that Dtube is early in development, the fact remains that you can always add a few sentences of explanation. That excuse does not hold.
That is something i dont only see with Dtube but rather where ever i look in the crypto space.

Not considering what a new user sees/understands when they are introduced to new information.

I could point out a few other things but its just the same criticism that stems from us forgetting what a new user experiences once they arrive to STEEM.

Mowing lawn!

Folks would probably assume i would talk about the videos that are “gone with the wind” in a few weeks, but theres really nothing to say. @johalfiles (a whale that upvotes Dtube content) a few weeks ago pointed out in the Dtube discord that exact thing and the reply was basically: “It is as it is.”

The problem is that folks dont understand that video hosting is about the most expensive thing there is online.
While there are ways for you to keep your videos online indefinitely by running your own IPFS node (my knowledge is limited there) most creators wont know how to do such a thing so providing that service on platform would be a great way for Dtube to gather some funds if they explained whats going on with your videos (when uploading) and provided an easy way for you to keep your videos indefinitely (for a fee) without having to educate yourself on IPFS hosting and every other single thing that has to do with Dtube.
The name of the game is not Football, ole ole, we are the champs. The name of the game is: “How to explain complex topics in the simplest of ways”.



There is really not much else to say here. Uploading works pretty well and is about as fast as uploading to Youtube. The video quality is inferior to youtube but you dont really notice it most of the times. When was the last time you used 4k on youtube?
Im assuming theres a dtube node somewhere close to Croatia since i have no problems viewing any videos.

At this point the success of Dtube is pretty much dependent on the success of STEEM. The time of the Dapps has not arrived yet and the majority of investment is still going into “infrastructure”.

Example: Projects like LISK are 38th in market cap (10 above STEEM) and i dont think there is a single person using any of their dapps. _I looked into it._
Once the market matures im certain that many projects that arent driven by hype but rather user numbers will start getting a lot of attention from investors, Dtube among them. The focus will eventually shift towards “what has real world application and what do users want” instead of

“i got this cool idea!”

Substratum had a cool idea.

And thats about it for this review. Thought i should mix it up a bit.


I think we need to be realistic at all times. We hype up everything and partake in tribal behavior without ever taking an objective look at the limitations and the potential of a project. Realizing the limitations and potential is extremely important in cases like this. @ned dropped a million STEEM delegation on Dtube.

Was that foolish?

No. Because i dont think Ned saw Dtube “changing the world”. He saw that small advantage i talked about in the beginning existing that could make Dtube a “contender”.

Dtube cant re-invent the wheel but it sure can rock the boat.

Conclusion

I give Dtube a rating of π/fleml.
Read what i actually think. lol.
And there you have it folks. Let me know what you think. Was i too harsh, was i not harsh enough. Ill take it on the chin.

Flies away.

Keep on Steeming!

Forex Price Action Baby, No Technicals or Fundamentals…Trade #8 – Sold GBP/USD (2/26/19)

10,000 Ft View – 4 Hr Chart

Zooming In

The zone isn’t fresh, meaning price was once at the level before (yellow circle) where sellers sold price before, thus there might be unfilled sell orders left or no more unfilled sell orders. But despite the level not being fresh, the level is high on the curve, so price is not longer at discount prices and is in the upper quadrant of the curve or range.

NOTE: trade was stopped out on the morning of 2/27…as the British Pound has been on a tear the past two days.

Full Bear Mode in the $QQQ $NDX Right Now

Let’s F’in Go Baby! After being bullish at the lows on Christmas Eve I have been pretty Bearish since 7040ish and continue to remain so. With GDP set to be slowing Y/Y in the US equity markets are out of sync and this was a nasty short squeeze to the upside. With a break of the rising trend I am looking at continuous lower highs to continue here and the retracement begin back into the 200 day MA.

Avis Budget Group, Inc. Said So

Avis Budget Group provides car and truck rentals, car sharing, and ancillary services to businesses and consumers worldwide. Avis reported earnings last week.  Avis’ reported revenues of $2.1 billion during the fourth quarter, in line with analysts’ estimates.  Earnings per share jumped 18% during the fourth quarter.  But the kicker was Avis’ Americas per-unit fleet costs declined 7% during the fourth quarter.  On the news the stock price traded almost 20% higher last Thurs.

Avis’ competitor Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. provides its vehicle rental services under the Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty brands.  They reported earnings earlier this week.  How do you

Crypto Contest February 27: Komodo

Komodo (Bittrex: KMDBTC) has broken out of the triangle pattern in the weekly chart.

Elliott Wave Analysis

In Elliott Wave terms, Komodo began a wave one advance in March 2017. The red wave one (blue sub-waves i-ii-iii-iv-v) finished in June 2017, and the red wave two (blue sub-waves a-b-c) correction ended in November 2018. If this wave count is correct, Komodo should be heading next towards the June 2017 peak in the red wave three.

? Cryptocurrency Jobs Peak in These Indian Cities

Demand for skilled professionals in the crypto space has been steadily rising, according to new data that ranks cities in India based on the number of jobs in the cryptocurrency field. Some cities such as Mumbai dropped several places from last year’s ranking while a couple of others are new to the list.


? Sony and Fujitsu Develop Blockchain Platform to Fight Fake Educational Qualifications

Japanese multinational conglomerate Sony and IT equipment services firm Fujitsu have created an encrypted database for educational proficiency documents, The Asahi Shimbun reports on Feb. 26.

The database, which reportedly employs blockchain technology, is used to prevent forgeries of language proficiency documents, which some foreigners purportedly use to receive resident status to study in Japan.

? Pitchforks And Plows: Toward A Generative Ethereum Ecosystem

This month, the <abbr title="

Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform, enabled with EDCCs, where a software developer can build games, financial applications, gambling applications, utility and logistics software, social networks and more.

“>Ethereum community experienced vicious infighting on social media as people reacted to Afri Schoedon’s controversial tweet about Serenity and Polkadot. The alleged verbal violence directed at Schoedon resulted in his exit from Ethereum and a subsequent letter, signed by dozens of Ethereum contributors, calling the community to develop healthier discussion practices and to “protect each other from threats and violence.”


This wasn’t the first Twitter thread in the Ethereum community to turn ugly, but Afrigate renews pressing questions about discourse. How can members of the community disagree or offer criticism in ways that are generative? In light of this recent display of toxic communication, I sat down with Taylor Monahan of MyCrypto to talk about healthy communication in the <abbr title="

While every exchange of value or data is recorded and visible to users, the identities of those exchanging, and what the money is being exchanged for, is kept private. However, the amount of money is public.

? Bolivars to Bitcoin: Activists Take Down Venezuela’s Maduro in Crypto Art Exhibit

Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro will be taken down today.

At least his visage, painted on 1,000 bolivars by cryptocurrency-focused artist cryptograffiti, will be. The destruction of the artist’s newest piece – an 11-foot by 10-foot portrait of the Venezuelan leader – will happen in Cucuta, Colombia, about 500 yards from the Simon Bolivar Bridge, a landmark hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans have walked across to escape the poverty of their home country.

Since Maduro took office in 2003, Venezuela has suffered drastic inflation, starvation and socio-economic decline. And in recent months, the situation has worsened. This past weekend, violence broke out on the border with Brazil as the Venezuelan military moved to block food and medical supplies from entering Venezuela.

? Samsung Teases Early Blockchain Partners For Galaxy S10 Phone

South Korean tech giant Samsung looks to have revealed some of the first blockchain partners for its upcoming flagship cellphone, the Galaxy S10.
At its Samsung Mobile Business Summit session at MWC Barcelona 2019 on Monday, the company presented the new phone’s Blockchain Keystore to affiliates and customers, displaying a picture that included the logo for Cosmee, a beauty community service dapp (decentralized application) from the Cosmochain crypto project, as well as that of the Enjin crypto gaming platform.


As reported by CoinDesk Korea on Tuesday, while Samsung did not disclose precise details of the partner services, they are likely to be featured on the phone at launch or soon after.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

STEEMUSD.jpg

As you can see on the chart, we continued the bounce from the support line at 0.31$ but it looks like the market is blocking and is forming a double top. Let’s see if that pattern will be validated but I remember you that a double top is a bearish pattern which means that most of the time, we have a drop as result of this pattern. Let’s see!
