? Facebook Plans Cryptocurrency Launch in First Half of 2019: NYT Report

Facebook is talking to exchanges about potentially listing a cryptocurrency.


That’s the main finding from a New York Times story published Thursday on several efforts to introduce native cryptocurrencies to widely used messaging platforms. The Times reports that Signal and Telegram are also planning to roll out tokens over the next 12 months.
Citing “four people briefed on the negotiations,” the Times reports that Facebook has told exchanges it expects to get a product out in the first half of 2019.

? Ethereum Upgrades as Hard Forks Activate on Blockchain

Two long-anticipated upgrades appear to have officially activated on the ethereum blockchain, the world’s second-largest by market value, without incident.

At 19:57 (UTC), the sixth and seventh system-wide upgrades to the software, dubbed Constantinople and St. Petersburg, respectively, rolled out on the main network at block number 7,280,000. As seen on blockchain monitoring website Fork Monitor, there is so far no evidence of a chain split that would suggest a portion of ethereum users are still running an older ethereum software.

Past hard forks of the ethereum blockchain have encountered such setbacks, most notably in 2016 with ethereum classic, a group that continued running an older software instance when a controversial upgrade was introduced.

? Ripple Head of Markets: XRP Token Listing Was ‘Coinbase’s Independent Decision’

Blockchain payment network Ripple did not influence United States cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase’s decision to list XRP, a senior executive claimed on social media on Feb. 27.

As part of a Twitter debate involving United Kingdom-based entrepreneur and investor Alistair Milne, Ripple’s head of markets, Miguel Vias, broke ranks with previous correspondence from Ripple about Coinbase.

Milne had written to the company asking for comment on rumors, which assert that Ripple either paid or offered an incentive to Coinbase in order to list XRP on its professional trading platform, Coinbase Pro.

? Big Four Auditor PwC Trials Blockchain System for Verifying Employee Credentials

Big Four audit and consultancy firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is conducting a trial of its new blockchain-powered platform for ensuring the integrity of employee credentials. The trial, launched in partnership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), was announced in a PwC press release published on Feb. 28.


PwC’s “Smart Credentials” platform, earlier unveiled on Feb. 13, implements blockchain to issue, store and securely share digital certificates for employees’ professional qualifications.


For the trial with ICAS, PwC employees, who have qualified as chartered accountants at the Institute within the past two years, are being issued with a blockchain-based certificate from ICAS that becomes part of their unique digital wallet.

? Kraken Offers $100K Reward for Help Finding Quadrigacx Funds

The San Francisco crypto exchange Kraken has announced the company is offering a $100,000 reward in exchange for a solid lead toward finding the missing Quadrigacx coins. Kraken has explained the company wants to bring more “awareness and attention” to the case and hopefully locate some of the lost funds.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

STEEMUSD.jpg


Here is the current chart :

STEEMUSD.jpg

Yesterday I was little bit disapointed because my conviction was that we will try very soon to break the resistance line at 0.39$ but the BTC was not helping. The good surprise has been to see that the drop of yesterday on the BTC was a trap and that we are now back on the previous level.

This allowed the STEEM to go test the resistance line at 0.39 and we broke it :-D. We are now consolidating but it is really normal after a move like this. Expect a touch on the 0.39$ line which is now a support line before a possible UP continuation.

Welcome to the Daily Crypto News: A complete Press Review, Coin Calendar and Trading Analysis. Enjoy!

? Singapore’s Wealth Fund GIC Among Those to Raise $300 Mln for Coinbase in 2018

Singapore’s Government Investment Corporation (GIC) was reportedly one of the investors to have helped raise $300 million for major United States crypto wallet provider and exchange service Coinbase in 2018. Bloomberg reported the news on Feb. 28, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

According to its official website, GIC — which was founded to manage Singapore’s foreign reserves — has in excess of $100 billion assets in over 40 countries worldwide.

As reported, Coinbase revealed it had raised $300 million in a Series E equity financing round in October 2018, brining its post-money valuation at the time to $8 billion.

? Constantinople Incoming: Tomorrow’s Two Ethereum Hard Forks Explained

In less than 24 hours, the world’s second largest blockchain by market capitalization is expected to activate its sixth and seventh system-wide upgrades, at which point its global user base will be asked to make two near-simultaneous changes to its code.


Known as Constantinople and St. Petersburg, both upgrades will be implemented as “hard forks,” or upgrades that add new rules to the ethereum software that are incompatible with past versions. Both will also take place at the exact same block number – 7,280,000.


Should users decide to upgrade, St. Petersburg will effectively disable part of the Constantinople code discovered back in January to host a critical vulnerability affecting smart contract security. Further, four out of five planned ethereum improvement proposals (EIPs) – the majority of which, according to independent ethereum developer Lane Rettig, will not be noticeable to the average user.

? Global Demand for Blockchain Engineers Up 517 Percent in a Year, Says Hired

This month, the <abbr title=”

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.

? Bitcoin Price May Rise in March Despite Month’s Bearish Track Record

Bitcoin could end the five-year March losing streak with solid gains if resistance at $4,190 (high of last week’s inverted bullish hammer) is convincingly scaled in the next week or two.

The cryptocurrency reinforced a bullish triangle breakout witnessed last week with a quick recovery from sub-$3,700 levels yesterday. This “buy the dip” mentality indicates scope for a break above the recent high of $4,190.


The focus would shift to the primary bearish trend seen on the monthly chart if BTC fails to pick a strong bid in the next few days. In that case, the probability of BTC ending March on a negative note for the sixth consecutive year would rise.

? Putin’s Order: Russia to Adopt Crypto Regulation by July

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has instructed his country’s government to adopt federal laws relating to cryptocurrency by July this year. Russia has earlier broadened the definition of “digital financial assets” to include cryptocurrencies. Putin’s latest order resembles one he made regarding crypto regulation last year.


Putin has approved a list of instructions for 47 orders, according to a document posted on the Kremlin website on Wednesday. Among them is an order for the government to work with the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, to ensure adoption of “federal laws aimed at the development of the digital economy.” They include “determining the procedure for conducting civil law transactions in electronic form, as well as regulating digital financial assets and attracting financial resources using digital technologies,” the order details.

Here is the current chart :

Due to the drop of the BTC, we are currently starting also a correction. No luck because I’m quiet sure that if we would have a UP on the BTC, the resistance line on the STEEM around 0.39$ would have been broken. Anyway, the market decided the other scenario so we have to adjust our hopes. We have now a high risk to go test the support line around 0.31$…

The “Golden Cross” Quest: LTC, BNB and EOS

February 28, 2019 Published by

Some days ago I talked about that LITECOIN and BINANCE COIN were presenting an accelerated approach to what is called “GOLDEN CROSS” milestone. You can read my assessment on those Cryptos here and here .

Now I would like you to attract your attention as well on EOS.

As it occurring with LTC and BNB, EOS is setting up a bullish approach to the Intersection between the 200 Day Moving Average and the 50 Day Moving Average.

EOS price has already crossed the 200 Day Moving Average 10 days ago, which is a very good signal, and I suspect we are going to

You see that Shakeout? #bitcoin

February 27, 2019 Published by

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.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis: VOLUME TAPERS OFF AS THE MARKET STALLS

February 27, 2019 Published by

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.

? 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.

? 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.

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!

February 27, 2019 Published by

Last BITCOIN rise may have confirmed, IMO, the entry in the Accumulation Phase. This period of time may take weeks or months and it is characterized by a movement between range of price which can be clearly identified in the Daily Chart.

For instance, on 2015, BITCOIN defined the Key levels as follows:

Upper Resistance Level were tested at least three times during this period while the Bottom Support was tested twice, forming a double bottom, W-Pattern which is a bullish pattern. There was as well an intermediate support on which BTC rebounded a few time too.
