Seems that finally “marketing” starts from today

Yes, seems that finally the people from Steemit Inc. have decided to do something, somehow diffident for the moment but definitely dedicated to promote Steemit beyond the borders of Steemit itself…

They have created a new account called @steem.marketing from which they want to promote the Social Web Steemit at Twitter.

Many people are right know commenting in the announcing post, the majority of them are supporting the new initiative, some others ironically complaining about while also in favor, because, of course, no one can be against it…

To tell you the truth, I am expecting even more efforts on the Marketing side from Steemit. Promoting Steemit and more lately Steem as well have been done for many long term steemians till now while Steemit contributions has been almost zero at Twitter.

Steemians as @nathanmars , @stephenkendal , @theycallmedan they are really working hardly already at twitter , spreading the Goodness of the steem blockchain anytime and in every place.

Now, they want to start from the “basics”…that’s fine but, come on! WE HAVE TO REACH THE WORLD HERE!!!!

Could you tell us what will be the name of the Twitter account to follow in order Re-Tweet your Marketing Tweets?

I hope this is only the beginning of a major Marketing Plan so, please @steem.marketing team, do nice ads, share your twitter account, call the community for spreading your message and it could be a good start!

Boom! #Bitcoin Rips Higher $BTC

Bitcoin is up more than 6% today and is up over 82% YTD in 2019. It is crossing levels that have not bee seen since the November Puke of last year when bitcoin lost the 6000 level on heavy volume traded. It has taken us more than 5 month to get back to this important level and now we are here with some authority.

Does it get through the first time? Doubtful, but crazier things have happened. I think it is important to know that the last 80+% drawdown puke was just another “bubble” that burst and now we move

When last did you look at Oyster Protocol?

It’s probably been a while, hasn’t it? 

That’s no doubt because the Oyster project effectively died when their evil project founder, Bruno Block, turned it into an exit scam by minting literally millions of illegal tokens and then quickly selling them.

For those unfamiliar with Oyster:

Oyster Protocol  was a project designed to get rid of adverts on webpages. In recent times we have seen may viruses hijack a little bit of CPU time of visitors to web pages. A visitor to a web page unwittingly becomes a crypto miner by having a small script turn their computer into a mining rig while

Crude Oil Analysis Report 5-3-19…Is More Downside Ahead???

Oil prices fell as much as 4% on Thursday, breaking through a key support level, as rising U.S. crude stockpiles helped offset concerns about a supply crunch.Crude futures declined despite a wave of geopolitical concerns, including political turmoil in Venezuela and the launch of new American measures aimed at driving Iran’s crude exports to zero.The drop was partly due to the overhang from Wednesday’s weekly report on U.S. crude stockpiles, which showed inventories surging by 9.9 million barrels. The data also showed U.S. oil production ticking up to a record 12.3 million barrels per day.U.S. crude stockpiles have risen in

Watched Avengers: Lamegame last night // SPOILERS

Image result for avengers end game meme

Alright. It wasnt that bad. 🙂 The title was for drama effect. haha

But it wasnt great.

I could have lived with any other path they might have taken except the time travel gimmick. Its just dumb. They way they dealt with everything was extremely cheap and leaves so many questions open.
The one comic book movie that did time travel well was “X-men: Days of future past”. Here it was just lazy writing.

Not only did the time travel make zero sense, they undersold the fact that they figured out time travel and explained it extremely poorly.

We can now time travel, aint that great.

When they do that they cheapen everything. Thanos (The original timeline one) was killed off ending his arc, but then is brought back as villain with “kill all mentality”. The Infinity war Thanos was magnitudes more interesting.

Then they mix Gamora from the 2014 with the Guardians of the Galaxy from the present meaning the “now” Gamora is dead and gone. Does this Gamora go back? Does she stay? Do we just forget about the original Gamora? Will they do “Search for Spock” type Guardians movie next?

How many timelines did they create if the past Thanos dies in the future and doesnt get to do all the things he did?
How did Thanos even stand a chance against the Avengers without the gauntlet when they were on par with him when he had all the stones. Thanos is just some big guy without the stones.

And what the hell is with the Captain Marvel chick? She disappears at the beginning then flies in to save the day. She can fly through ships apparently. Is she the most powerful superhero now?
I dont think Thor or Thanos can do what she did.

How the hell can Ironman hold the gauntlet if it took all the Guardians of the galaxy to hold one stone and StarLord is part god?!

It seems to me that they simply wanted to wrap things up. They didnt seem to care if it made sense or not.
There were arcs to close and contracts ending.

In the end i find this a decent enough ending but they did drop the ball since Infinity war. The Marvel movies were never “smart movies” but what they did here was make it pretty stupid if im honest.
Shame.

In the end i give this movie a

? US District Attorney Seeks to Retain Defendant in Crypto Shadow Banking Case

The United States Attorney for the District of Arizona (DA) is seeking to retain a defendant in custody in a case of alleged shadow banking for cryptocurrency companies. In a court filing released on May 1, the DA states that they are concerned the accused will flee.


The filing follows the official announcement published by the Southern District of New York Attorney in April, ordering to charge an Arizona citizen Reginald Fowler and Israeli woman Ravid Yosef for allegedly operating an unlicensed money transferring business and bank fraud.


The recent filing asks the court to detain the defendant pending trial as he purportedly presents a risk of continued economic danger. Since the defendant purportedly has access to millions of dollars in bank accounts around the world and overseas ties that would facilitate the flight — among other factors — the Attorney office declares that the defendant poses a flight risk. The document specifically states:


“A consideration of the facts show that Defendant is a significant flight risk given his connections overseas, his financial means to support himself outside the United States, his disregard for this criminal investigation, and his potential involvement in other criminal activity.”

? Code For Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake Blockchain to Be Finalized Next Month

Code for ethereum’s highly-anticipated proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain is on course to be finalized as early as sometime next month.


In a bi-weekly call between ethereum developers, Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake said that code specifications for the first phase of ethereum’s transition to a proof-of-stake network were “on track” to be finalized by June 30. Such specifications are effectively blueprints for developers looking to work on ethereum’s next-generation blockchain.


“I’ve been continuing to fine comb Phase Zero in preparation for the spec freeze which we’re targeting for the 30th of June,” Drake remarked on the call. “We’re still very much on track. Still, [code] simplifications are coming through which is great and the process of fine combing is also for finding final bugs.”


? Microsoft Makes JPMorgan’s Quorum the Preferred Blockchain for Azure Cloud

Microsoft will promote JPMorgan Chase’s Quorum blockchain to the global tech giant’s business customers, the companies announced Thursday.


The Redmond, Washington-based software firm will support Quorum, JPM’s private enterprise version of ethereum, through Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, the firms said. They will look to support adoption of the network through their new partnership, after signing a memorandum of understanding.


As a result, Quorum “will become the first distributed ledger platform available through [the] Azure Blockchain Service, enabling J.P. Morgan and Microsoft customers to build and scale blockchain networks in the cloud,” the companies said in a press release.

? Indian Tech Firm Tech Mahindra to Combat Spam Phone Calls With Blockchain

Indian technology company Tech Mahindra will be implementing an anti-spam call solution powered by blockchain, Indian business daily Business Today reports on May 2.


This solution will allow phone companies to comply with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)’s regulations to protect mobile phone subscribers from unsolicited Commercial Communication (UCC), which will come into effect in the last week of May.


Rajesh Dhuddu, Global Practice Leader of Blockchain at Tech Mahindra said that the TRAI regulations will affect 800 million subscribers.

? The story of Crypto Capital’s dark past and its deep ties with the crypto industry

Crypto Capital is slowly emerging as the central bank of the crypto industry. It facilitated banking services from one end of the industry—major crypto businesses and exchanges including Binance, Kraken and BitMEX—to the other, including the now-defunct QuadrigaCX and a number of smaller companies implicated in money-laundering schemes and fraud. And according to the the New York Attorney General, it still serves crypto exchange Bitfinex, where by the end of 2018, it was managing more than $1 billion of the exchange’s client and customers funds.


Two people, allegedly related to Crypto Capital, were charged with money laundering on Tuesday. The feds claim that the pair ran a banking scheme for crypto companies, which involved Global Trading Solutions LLC—a company that has been identified as one of the shell companies owned by Crypto Capital, and used by Bitfinex. The scheme allegedly involved running a “shadow bank that processed hundreds of millions of dollars of unregulated transa

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

STEEMUSD.jpg

Here is the current chart :

STEEMUSD.jpg

The BTC is helping us to go in the direction of our resistance line at 0.39$. Let’s hope we will be able to touch it soon and even break that line to allow STEEM to have back a correct value compared to other altcoins. We are not so far so everything is possible even the STEEM is used to make smaller UP than the BTC.So exactly like the BTC with its resistance line at 5400$, the STEEM has not been able to go touch its resistance line at 0.39$. This is not a good sign because if we don’t do it, we are doing lower highs which mean that the DROP is not yet finished. Let’s see if we will find the volume and the power to go touch that line and even break it or if the sellers are preparing to be back very soon.

FX Empire Is Spot On With Their AUD/USD Analysis – Part 2

Nine days ago, I talked about AUD/USD and how I thought FX Empire did a really good job analyzing AUD/USD.

FX Empire Is Spot On With Their AUD/USD Analysis

The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart. A trade through .7206 will signal a resumption of the uptrend. The main trend will change to down on a move through .7052.

The main trend will change to down on a move through .7052. An easy way to define an downtrend is price breaking to swing lows. Although I would say price would have to break the swing low at 0.7000.

Since that

Blockchain Gaming Perspectives Part 2 – Digital Card Games Will Lead the Way

The inaugural post of this series can be found here. In it, I speculated about the immense potential of the synergy of blockchain and gaming. Today, I’d like to focus on a current genre of the gaming world that is tailor-made for blockchain – online card games.

There are many big-name card games on the market already – Hearthstone, Magic the Gathering and Pokemon being three leading examples. All are immensely profitable and all involve an evolving/rarity card system. Each year/season cards cycle out of ‘regular’ play. Players are, therefore ‘required’ to purchase more cards to stay competitive. Old cards are
