? Santander Loses Appeal Against Brazilian Crypto Exchange, Fine Upheld

Major Spanish bank Santander has been denied an appeal regarding a decision by the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo in a case against crypto exchange Mercado Bitcoin, Cointelegraph Brazil reports on June 17.


Santander was sued by the Brazilian exchange Mercado Bitcoin in 2018, after the bank purportedly closed the exchange’s account at its sole discretion. The bank, which has branches in Latin America, cited concerns over the origin of the account’s fund due to the nature of the crypto exchange’s activities.


Over 1 million reals (around $350,000) were locked, but the court subsequently ordered Santander to free the funds. Additionally, the bank must pay a monthly fine equal to 1% interest for the funds that were locked; this reportedly comes out to over 200,000 reals ($51,000).

? Ripple Could Invest Up to $50 Million in MoneyGram in XRP Boosting Deal

Blockchain payments startup Ripple has struck a deal to buy a stake in money transfer giant MoneyGram, the companies announced Monday.


Under the deal, according to the Wall Street Journal and Fortune, Ripple will spend $30 million to buy shares at a price of $4.10 apiece. And in the next two years, MoneyGram has the option to sell an additional $20 million worth of shares to Ripple at the same price. As noted by the Journal, MoneyGram shares were trading at about $1.45 apiece at the close of day, meaning Ripple’s purchase price is close to three times the current market value.


Notably, the deal will also see MoneyGram utilizing the digital token XRP as part of its day-to-day operations by way of Ripple’s xRapid transaction product. MoneyGram said that it was piloting the token back in January 2018, as CoinDesk reported at the time.

? 3 Reasons Bitcoin Is Rallying Above $9K

Bitcoin rose above $9,000 over the weekend, taking cumulative year-to-date gains to more than 150 percent.

Facebook to launch ‘GlobalCoin’
The social media giant is set to unveil its very own stablecoin, reportedly called GlobalCoin on Tuesday, June 17, with a launch to follow in 2020.

Binance.com bars US customers

Binance.com, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by trading volume, updated its terms of use on June 14 to exclude all users in the U.S.

The announcement led to a sharp sell-off in Binance’s very own native asset, Binance Coin (BNB). The price of BNB fell 12.8 percent to 25,209 satoshis (a satoshi being 0.00000001 of a BTC) on Friday, and hit a one-month low of 34,906 satoshis on Sunday.

Litecoin approaches ‘halving’ event

The upcoming litecoin (LTC) halving, set to trigger on August 5, 2019, will cut the reward gained from mining the cryptocurrency by half, meaning LTC will become a more scarce asset overall.

”Halvings’ as they are known, typically result in an overall boost in value for the crypto markets, as the assets themselves become harder to obtain and therefore increase in value.

? Private Blockchain’s Biggest Startups Integrate in Unprecedented Tie-Up

A historic change in strategy is taking place at R3 and Digital Asset (DA), who are now collaborating to maximize their respective blockchain ecosystems.


Announced Tuesday, DA will be bringing its smart contract language DAML (Digital Asset Modelling Language) to R3’s Corda platform, as well as Hyperledger Fabric, following on from its Hyperledger Sawtooth tie-up last month.


DA co-founder Yuval Rooz had a tough act to follow, taking over as CEO from Wall Street legend Blythe Masters, who suddenly departed the company in December of last year.


He told CoinDesk:
“Since I’ve taken over, we have had integration announcements with Sawtooth and VMWare, and what you are seeing now is a continuation of that strategy. Ledger providers see an opportunity to bring more business to their ledger because DAML allows developers to build applications much faster.”

? Parity builds Zebra to make it easy for developers to build on Zcash

Parity, the blockchain infrastructure company building on top of Ethereum–and its rival, Polkadot– has turned its hand to revamping Zcash’s inner workings.


A new Zcash client, called Zebra, was released today, designed to help make it easier for developers to write code on the network. In particular, this Zcash client has been written in the Rust programming language—whereas the original Zcash client was written in C++, since it was derived from bitcoin’s codebase. Rust is generally seen as a safer way to code applications. While it is less commonly used than C++, it is far more popular.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

STEEMUSD.jpg

Here is the current chart :

STEEMUSD.jpg

I’m considering that the resistance line at 0.41$ has been broken and that it is now a support line. Howerver, the break is not perfect and the market is hesitating a lot. The ideal scenario would be to go break now the next resistance line at 0.43$ to confirm that UP trend so let’s see but i’m staying very carefull about that support line at 0.41$ that we could break down very quickly in case of small correction on the BTC.

Garbage IPO of the Day: $GRPN

June 18, 2019 Published by

Here we are with another garbage IPO that the big boys have sold to the mom and paps (now bagholders). Today it is Groupon! $GRPN

Groupon is a stock that went public in 2012. It IPO’d Prime time in the bull run and you can see where the overall market is now compared to then, way up. Well GRPN is way down. After touching 31 the first week, investors have lost over 95% of their holdings and now holding the bag.

I honestly still use GRPN some, however I’m still not completely sure how they are in business. This is another

Another Tidbit of Wisdom… $AAPL

June 17, 2019 Published by

Markets are hard. No one has ever denied that. The second you think you are performing well and do not stick to a strict set of rules is likely around the same time (or seconds) that the market smacks you right in the face.

In order to succeed in the market across ALL time frames you have to get the trend right. Well your in luck. We are at a very pivotal point in the US Equity Market that the trend will be decided soon enough (more than likely). $AAPL is going to be our prime example here in analyzing

Being Ambitiously Lazy and Having Success

June 17, 2019 Published by

How can someone be both ambitious and lazy, wouldn’t one effectively cancel out the other?
Ambitiously Lazy
Most people consider me ambitious, they also consider me to be a hard worker. They have this idea that I’m hustling all the time because I have the ambition to pursue multiple things.
This may have been true in my twenties, but in my early forties – not so much!
Don’t get me wrong, I still bust my butt. However it’s selective and only with things that I can be lazy with after they are established.
Examples:
Real Estate – You have all seen me post about real estate investing.

Bitcoin Hitting New 2019 Highs!

June 17, 2019 Published by

Bitcoin bulls have continued to impress, hitting another new 2019 high today of $9,430. Daily volume is steady.

Shorts have spiked nearly 50% in the last 10 days. This would suggest bitcoin may have more room to run in the form of a short squeeze.

Looking at the CME Futures chart, we’ve discussed the gap between $7,200 and $7,450. We’ve got another fresh gap between $8,500 and $9,050. Probability is price will eventually drop to close these gaps. That said, it doesn’t mean bitcoin won’t continue up first.

In today’s video I discuss where price may be heading next, key areas to watch,

STRAT technical analysis

Pembina Pipeline…A Potential Long Term Investment

June 17, 2019 Published by

Most stocks pay their investors quarterly at best. That makes it a bit more challenging for those who rely on these payments to cover their monthly bills. While they can choose to invest in three sets of stocks that are on different payment cycles, an easier way to generate a consistent monthly income stream is to invest in a stock that pays a dividend every 30 days.While a few stocks pay monthly, one enticing option worth considering is Canadian midstream company Pembina Pipeline (NYSE: PBA).Pembina Pipeline pays out only about 57% of that stable cash flow to investors in support

We bought a house. With a yard!

June 17, 2019 (updated June 17, 2019) Published by

We recently passed the three year mark, living in Portugal and living without a place for ourselves in the sun. Whilst we were getting settled here we spent a short time at my brother-in-law’s house, then rented a flat, then stayed in the middle of a village, Condeixa-a-Nova. For the vast majority of the last three years we have not had a yard, something both my wife and I grew up with and missed terribly.

Just recently we finalised the purchase of a house with a fair sized yard, we had been searching for a number of months trying to find something we could afford and that had a fair bit of space as we would like to start growing some of our own food.

Here you can see, the place we bought had been left alone for a while. There was someone living in the place, but he was there just to keep it occupied and no maintenance was done on the grounds.

Heres another shot, showing the length of the grass. We met a man who’s in-law’s own the house across from us, he recommended the guy he uses to cut grass with a tractor. The section thats been cut below was as the tractor made it’s way through the grass.

Our house in the background and a happy son who now has a big yard to play in!
There’s a patch that we told the guy with the tractor to leave, it had vines planted and there was still wire in the thick of the grass. Some of the wire got tangled in his cutter and we spent some time trying to get the mess untangled. We will be trimming that manually.

A view of our back yard. I am over the moon with where we are, as there are a number of trees nearby and very few neighbours. It’s fantastic!

I started digging a hole, to throw the garden refuse and food scraps so we could start composting it. I am embarrassed to say how long it took me to dig this wide and deep. I have reached down to what is mostly clay so am struggling a lot to dig it even deeper.

So after a few years of (not so) patiently waiting we finally have a place where we can try and settle down, where the kids can play till the sun goes down and we can try get some good food growing. There is still so much to be done but it’s way better for us than simply flopping down behind a TV or a computer!
