I busted my butt yesteday with the Dtube review for Oracle-d that turned out to be a bust since the review wasnt “professional” enough. Prolly was a bit too negative now that i think about it. haha No matter!
Today is a new day.
For those of you that have missed it STEEM has been listed on Huobi exchange with a USDT pair. Which is always nice. Thats probably why we are seeing a pump the last day or so.
If id have to guess id say that the exchange might be pumping the price a bit to get some traders hooked on the token early on. Just a guess ofc.
Id love to see STEEM and 0.4$ but its anyones guess if we can sustain the price growth. Usually STEEM drops off pretty fast after a small pump.
But im not a market analyst so im not pretending to know the movement of the market. Im just going off of what ive been seeing lately. Call it anecdotal. 🙂
The best thing about this listing is that we got a Tether/Steem pair. Thats amazing news especially in a volatile bear market when you can easily move your STEEM into a stable coin and alleviate risk easily.
Will i use Huobi?
Probably not, since i find centralized exchanges for most part being in the game of extortion and borderline criminal activity. Having a net negative effect on the crypto ecosystem. I dont deny that we “need them” right now, but that doesnt mean i need to like them.
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.
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.

“>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?

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.
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 :
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!
The much-anticipated Ethereum hard fork known as Constantinople is set to be implemented at block number 7,280,000, which developers have predicted will take place on Thursday, February 28. Of course, the exact timing of activation depends on block times between now and then, meaning the upgrade could happen one to two days before or after this Thursday.
Constantinople was initially set to activate last month, but a security vulnerability in EIP 1283, one of the originally included improvement proposals, delayed the upgrade’s implementation. Core developers decided to remove the faulty EIP and push the hard fork back to block number 7,280,000.
Crypto exchange Coinbase is launching support for XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
The exchange announced Monday it would be listing XRP on its professional trading platform, Coinbase Pro, in “transfer-only” mode, meaning customers can only deposit tokens to begin with. After a minimum of 12 hours, the company plans to activate other trading services, though this timeline is variable.
Initially, Coinbase Pro customers in the U.S. (excluding New York state), the UK, some EU nations, Canada, Singapore and Australia will be able to access XRP, with support for other jurisdictions possibly being added in the future.
Japanese multinational holding conglomerate SoftBank Corp. and American telecoms-focused blockchain firm TBCASoft are to lead a new blockchain-based digital identification study group under the canopy of the Carrier Blockchain Study Group (CBSG). The development was announced in a SoftBank press release on Feb. 26.
As previously reported, CBSG — a global blockchain consortium of telecom carriers — was founded in September 2017, in a bid to push greater adoption of the technology in the industry. Alongside Softbank and TBCASoft, the organization counts Taiwan-based telecoms carrier Far EasTone and U.S.-based telecoms firm Sprint as founding members.
Bitfinex has recovered 27.7 bitcoin stolen by hackers in August 2016, the company said on Monday. The coins, worth around $106,000 at the time of writing, represent only a small fraction of the total BTC stolen. U.S. federal law enforcement agencies recovered the bitcoin and returned it to the cryptocurrency exchange.
Over two years following the hack of the Bitfinex platform, today we see the results of a clear and robust response strategy and the efforts of the U.S. government. It gives us great pleasure to be able to reimburse our traders that were loyal to us and believed in us at a very difficult time. We would like to thank U.S. federal law enforcement agencies for their ongoing efforts to investigate the security breach and their commitment to seizing and returning stolen assets.
There was something both fresh and familiar about the NFT.NYC conference that non-fungible token developer PeopleBrowsr put on at the PlayStation Theater in Times Square last week.
It felt like some of the early bitcoin conferences: A little scrappy and rough around the edges, some wild ideas that ranged from practical to pie-in-the-sky, but in all exuding a great deal of enthusiasm for a novel blockchain technology that could spawn a variety of new business and philanthropic models.
It remains to be seen whether NFTs can get beyond the gimmick status they occupied in popular imagination since Dapper Labs launched CryptoKitties, the popular game that creates unique, collectible, breedable digital cats. There are questions about scalability and interoperability associated with ERC-721, the dominant, Ethereum-based NFT standard, and on whether the world will embrace outside-the-box ideas for redefining value, property and commerce.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion
Here is the chart of yesterday :
Here is the current chart :
With this kind of chart, it is obvious that my lines are well selected and used by the market. Look how the STEEM went touch exactly the support line at 0.31$ and how the bounce has been created by the support line. The chart is confirming exactly my scenario. So now let’s see, that bounce is perhaps just a pause before the next drop but the DROP could also be invalidated if the UP is continuing. The coming hours will be very important.
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.
I will not hold Bitcoin!
I will not sell for fiat!
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.
Theres something about Bitcoin that attracts eccentric millionaires. First we had McAfee, which i would go ahead and say is less of an eccentric and more of a nut hehe, and now Elon is dropping in giving some more legitimacy to crypto.
Lets be honest, regulation is great and it is an important step towards mainstream adoption but without hype and respectable individuals talking about crypto in a positive way cryptocurrencies will never take off. Sure, Elon might be a slightly odd alien like person but there is no denying he is brilliant and respected.
Listening to what he said it seems that he really greatly values Bitcoin. I cant really see him saying anything more potent then this outside literally saying: “Down with fiat!”.
“It [cryptocurrency] bypasses currency controls. … Paper money is going away. And crypto is a far better way to transfer values than a piece of paper, that’s for sure.”
Of course he pointed out a few flaws, one of them being that POW is so energy intensive meaning that a company like Tesla, that is all for sustainable energy, would not want to adopt something like BTC.
I always then ask: “Why not DPOS?”
It boggles my mind that crypto enthusiasts dont realize the limitations such energy consumption creates for crypto.
Anyways… As i said, its good to see this kind of validation coming from folks in the mainstream. This is a guy that made millions from selling damn flamethrowers so when he speaks, people listen.
Getting Elon on our side was easy… When Warren Buffet green-lights Bitcoin, thats when you will know we are going to the moon. hahaha
Bitcoin continues to consolidate, but is showing numerous signs of a possible breakout. I discuss this further in my video analysis at the bottom.
EOS has been trying to break above the $3.00 resistance. While it’s briefly penetrated by a wick, a decisive break above has been unsuccessful. Volume has been slowly rising and, like bitcoin, we are seeing signs of a possible breakout in the near future.
In today’s video analysis I discuss where prices may be heading, traps to avoid and so much more. I hope you find it helpful.

Join the forum discussion on this postThe most puzzling thing about cryptocurrency as of early 2019 may just be that it’s still not widely used. The notion that it would rapidly replace standard currency was always a fantasy, but many expected that it would at least be somewhat widely used by now as an alternative. Instead, it can be somewhat difficult to find opportunities to spend cryptocurrency, if you would like to do so, unless you’re already familiar with the specific companies and markets that accept it.
Because there are still plenty of people who would like to put cryptocurrency
