? CFTC Chair: Blockchain Could Have Transformed Regulators Real-Time Response to 2008 Crash

Christopher Giancarlo, chairman of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (СFTC), has said that blockchain would have transformed regulators’ real-time responses to the the 2008 global financial crash, if it had been in use at the time. Giancarlo made his remarks during the 4th Annual DC Blockchain Summit in Washington D.C. on March 6.


In his speech, Giancarlo drew on his personal experience as executive vice president at brokerage giant GFI Group — which, in 2008, as he noted, operated one of the world’s largest trading platforms for credit default swaps (CDS), “then the epicenter of systemic risk.” He recalled the panic and disorder on the GFI broker floor, as the global credit crisis cascaded out of control:


“I remember a call from a U.S. bank regulator asking about CDS trading exposure of several major banks, including Lehman Brothers. In fact, trading conditions were deteriorating by the hour. It was clear that the regulator had little means, short of telephone calls, to read all the danger signals that the CDS markets were broadcasting.”

? Binance’s Crypto BNB No Longer Tracks Bitcoin – And That’s a Big Deal

Binance Coin (BNB), the crypto asset that can be exchanged for transaction fees on the Binance exchange, is up more than 140 percent year to date and is now deviating from bitcoin’s price trend – a feat not commonly observed in the nascent crypto markets.


While the reasons that most cryptocurrencies are highly correlated to bitcoin are not definitive, studies have shown this dependency on bitcoin’s trend has only grown stronger with time. Yet, BNB is proving different.


? Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on JPM Coin: Other Banks Won’t Use It

Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of San Francisco blockchain startup Ripple, gave JP Morgan Chase qualified praise Wednesday for creating its own stablecoin, before dismissing the product’s likelihood of adoption by other banks and questioning its usefulness.


During a fireside chat at the Chamber of Digital Commerce’s D.C. Blockchain Summit in Washington, Garlinghouse said he thinks it’s “great” to have major financial players like JP Morgan “leaning in.”

But, he quickly added:


“That’s the only nice thing I’m going to say about this.”

? Swiss Stock Exchange SIX to Use R3 Corda Enterprise for Blockchain-Based Trading Platform

Switzerland‘s principal stock exchange, SIX Swiss Exchange, has chosen to use blockchain consortium R3’s Corda Enterprise platform for its forthcoming blockchain-powered digital exchange. The news was revealed during the R3-hosted Corda Day event in Singapore on March 6.

The SIX Swiss Exchange sees roughly 4.62 billion Swiss Francs (CHF) (~$4.6 billion) in daily turnover, and has a market capitalization of over 1.67 trillion CHF ~($1.6 trillion). As Cointelegraph reported in July 2018, SIX previously unveiled its plans to launch a digital asset ecosystem, dubbed Six Digital Exchange (SDX).

? SWIFT Puts Forward Proof Of Concept For Blockchain E-Voting

On March 5, financial messaging service SWIFT announced the launch of a <abbr title="

A record or ledger of all transactions that virtually eliminates third-party tampering. 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. New blocks can only be added in chronological order (through mining or other means of block validation), and the inherent value and information cannot be compromised.

“>blockchain e-voting proof of concept (PoC). Participants in the PoC experiment include the Singapore Exchange (SGX), Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, DBS Bank, and HSBC Bank.


SWIFT, in conjunction with software securities firm SLIB, will conduct the trial during the first half of this year in the Asia-Pacific region. The experiment will determine whether blockchain technology can “simplify the currently inefficient management of shareholder meetings and the associated voting processes…” According to SWIFT, its paper-based voting process takes an inordinate amount of time and resources, is too complex, and often leads to errors, particularly when it comes to proxy voting.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the current chart :

STEEMUSD.jpg

The UP continued today and we are more and more close of the previous TOP. I traced for you a new resistance line in blue which has been created by the 2 previous TOP. As I explained you yesterday, this line has to be broken to start really a new UP trend on the STEEM. Let’s see if we will be able to break it soon, a UP Break Out on the BTC would for sure help us to break that line. As always, we have to wait the master.

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

? New Partnership Allows TrueUSD Traders to Audit The Coin’s Backing Assets

A new partnership between stablecoin TrueUSD (TUSD) and accounting firm Armanino purportedly allows traders to conduct instant audits of the token’s backing. The news was announced by TrueUSD in a blog post on Mar. 5.


The dashboard developed by Armanino purportedly enables traders to monitor TrueUSD token balances and collateralized funds. “Armanino connects directly to third-party escrow accounts holding the U.S. dollars that collateralize TrueUSD tokens, and runs their own ETH nodes to ensure accurate TUSD token supply,” the post details.

? Futures Trading Nears $1 Billion in First Month at Kraken Crypto Exchange

Cryptocurrency futures provider Crypto Facilities has seen “tremendous growth” since being acquired by U.S.-based crypto exchange Kraken last month, an executive said.


Sui Chung, the subsidiary’s head of indices and pricing products, told CoinDesk that trading volume has increased more than 500 percent since Kraken acquired the futures exchange at the beginning of February for $100 million.


Crypto Facilities is perhaps best known in the U.S. for providing bitcoin and ether reference rates to CME Group, which lists bitcoin futures contracts.

? People Are Paying Bitcoin to Send Weird and Wild Messages Into Space

You’re not sure where it will end up exactly or who will actually read it. But you type up a message, pay a couple of cents in bitcoin and click the “send” button. Your message zips through space – yes, space – then is broadcast out of a satellite, blanketing the world.


The result? A cosmic “message in a bottle” that’s become the latest novelty in the bitcoin technical community.


It’s all possible with the help of Blockstream satellite, an eccentric project released over a year ago with the goal of making bitcoin accessible for people without internet access. Sending messages has gotten easier since then, with the launch of spacebit.live, a simple website that allows users to pay a small fee (the default of which is 3 cents in testnet bitcoin) to send a message via those satellites across the world.

? Blockchain Analytics Firm Chainalysis Outlines User Data Policy Amid Coinbase Allegations

New York-based blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis has published an official statement clarifying that it does not collect or sell users’ personal data when it provides its services to cryptocurrency exchanges. The statement was published in a company blog post on March 5.


Chainalysis is one of the highest-profile firms in the blockchain intelligence industry, providing technology — such as its proprietary KYT (Know Your Transaction) tool — that enables firms, governments and law enforcement agencies to monitor blockchain transactions and track suspected illicit activities, such as money laundering or terrorist financing.

? Swiss Stock Exchange Launches Trading for ETH ETP

Switzerland’s SIX stock exchange has announced the launch of an ETH exchanged-traded product. March 5 comprised the first trading day for the ETP, which is backed by Swiss company Amun AG. The launch comes one month after SIX announced its intention to launch a blockchain-powered exchange during the second half of this year.


Switzerland’s primary stock exchange, the Zurich-based SIX, has launched trading for an ethereum exchange-traded product, the Amun Ethereum ETP (AETH). Flow Traders B.V., a liquidity provider specializing in ETPs, will provide market making services for AETH on SIX.

Here is the current chart :

STEEMUSD.jpg

So after the UP of yesterday which helped us to come back upper than the support line at 0.39$, we continued today with the UP Break Out of the BTC. However, we start to have some difficulties to break the previous tops. We must really break the double TOP that we have around 0.43$ to start the real UP trend. Without that, we still have a risk to have a correction again.

Scripsio Improvements – March 5, 2019

March 5, 2019 (updated March 5, 2019) Published by

As Scripsio slides out of alpha and into beta, we have quite a few improvements to the site. Here are just a few of the most recent ones.

Many noticed that formatting never quite looked right. Headings, bold, italics and other features would seem to be great in the blog editor, but became something different when posted. We think we have a handle on that now.

Remember, you can post regular streaming content on Scripsio at any time. It’s simply a social site, complete with groups, chat and social streaming. You can also make blog entries, which can go to Steem as well. Come check it out. Learn more, including about our vote sharing, on Scripsio’s About page.

You should see a more intuitive layout on phones and tablets. While we have a ways to go, we’ve put some work into improving the experience.

Some alignment issues were addressed. It was more obvious on mobile.

Some of you were tying in the wrong email, so would never get the verification. tsk tsk… In an effort to try to help alleviate that, emails now are entered twice. Ideally, someone won’t mistype their email twice in a row!

The streaming side of Scripsio accepts Markdown for formatting. While most of it has worked nicely, we were still having issues with some of the commands. Hopefully that’s straightened out now. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Some tweaks have been made to make the site quicker. You may not notice, particularly if you have fast internet. But we can sure tell the difference.

We’ve been feverishly trying to improve Scripsio, but haven’t been great at keeping you updated about changes. We’ll try to be more proactive about that moving forward.

If you haven’t noticed, LiberlandPress started posting from Scripsio recently. Come check them out!

Thanks for following. Thanks for using Scripsio. If you haven’t yet, check it out. It’s not just another social site. It’s a place where what you write is yours, so write what you write.

? 2 Nevada Senate Bills Signal State Is Open For Blockchain Business

On Wednesday, February 27, members of the Nevada Senate’s Committee on Judiciary heard two <abbr title="

A record or ledger of all transactions that virtually eliminates third-party tampering. 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. New blocks can only be added in chronological order (through mining or other means of block validation), and the inherent value and information cannot be compromised.

“>blockchain-focused bills introduced by Senator Ben Kieckhefer (R): SB162 and SB163. Although Nevada does not prohibit blockchain technology or otherwise restrict its usage, the two bills provide clarifying language to, as the bill proponents explain, signal that Nevada understands and embraces blockchain and is open to economic development opportunities related to the technology. In a way, the bills could be considered enabling legislation.

? Bitcoin Miners Are Investing Again, Expecting a Cheap Power Boom Soon

Bitcoin miners in China are buying used equipment and making deals with mining farms and hydroelectric plants, betting abundant water this summer will make their businesses profitable again.


That’s because during this season a significant amount of excess electricity is expected to be generated by hundreds of hydropower stations, especially in China’s mountainous southwestern provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan. This level of excess power results in competitive electricity costs for bitcoin miners, making it perhaps one of the rare opportunities to earn profits in the current bear market that has already impacted the mining sector. 


Hashage, a company based in the city of Chengdu in Sichuan that operates six mining farms with a supply of about 200,000 slots for machines, for example, said the electricity cost in Sichuan during the summer – which may vary from hydropower plants – is usually around 0.25 yuan, or $0.037, per kilowatt hour (kWh) for hosting equipment for miners.

? Coinbase Technology Partner Refutes Alleged Collection, Sale of User Data to Third Parties

London-based blockchain analytics firm Elliptic — which provides technology to major United States crypto exchange Coinbase — has refuted allegations that it collects and sells clients’ user data to third parties for financial gain.


In an official statement published on March 4, Elliptic’s CEO and co-founder James Smith stated that the firm has never “enabled the violation of individuals’ financial privacy,” and that such accusations represent a fundamental misunderstanding of Elliptic’s industry role.


Elliptic is one of key players in the blockchain intelligence sector, providing analytics tools that allow companies, governments and law enforcement agencies to monitor blockchain transactions and track suspected illicit activities, such as money laundering.

? Indian Supreme Court Advocate Says Cryptocurrencies Cannot Be Regulated

A supreme court advocate has explained the limitations of the Indian government’s power to regulate cryptocurrency, determining that the court should not get involved. Meanwhile, the crypto community awaits the government’s regulatory framework and the supreme court hearing of the petitions against the banking ban by the central bank.


“Cryptocurrencies by their very nature cannot be regulated … The supreme court should resist the urge to get involved”.

? Bitcoin’s MACD Prints Strongest Bull Signal In Over a Year

The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) has become the latest charting indicator to signal bitcoin may soon see a trend reversal that could put an end to its months-long price decline.


As reported, the money flow index (MFI), an indicator used to identify buy and sell pressure, created a divergence Sunday widely considered to be an early sign of a bearish-to-bullish trend change, while last week, bitcoin saw a bearish crossover of its 50- and 100-week moving averages, a first since 2015.


As such, the MACD became the latest in a series of indicators, that when applied to bitcoin point to seller exhaustion and a potential trend reversal as of Monday.

The crypto are becoming more more unpredictable. Tbh, it is a good sign because it shows that the market has difficulties to go lower but also higher. We are in an indecision phase which occurs often before the start of the UP trend. Anyway, it is still early to talk about that now but we can see that the STEEM dropped due to the BTC drop. However, the market on the STEEM decided to make an immediate bounce from the MMA50 (mobile average line in purple). The important now is to stay upper than the support line at 0.39$.

? For People To Trust Blockchains, We Need Good Storytelling

On April 10, 2010, Cherie Aimée was rushed to the hospital for chronic shortness of breath. Within minutes of reaching the emergency room, Aimée had flatlined: Her heart had stopped, she was unresponsive for 90 minutes, and CPR did not work.

But Aimée survived. For four months she lived on life support. “I had no heartbeat,” Aimée said during her keynote at Decentralized 2018, “but what kept me alive was a modern, innovative technology.” A Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) sustained Aimée for about five years until she was able to get a heart transplant.

? Crypto Companies Still Run Into Trouble Opening Bank Accounts

Companies in the cryptocurrency industry still have trouble opening bank accounts, major financial publication Bloomberg reported on March 3.

The report cites the complaint of Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of quantitative crypto trading company Alameda Research, that “the standard answer of ‘just go to your local Chase branch’ doesn’t work in crypto.” Bankman-Fried also added that it is not illegal for banks to serve crypto businesses, but “it’s a massive compliance headache that they don’t want to put the resources in to solve.’’

? Coinbase: Former Provider Sold User Data to Third Parties, Prompting Neutrino Acquisition

Christine Sandler, Coinbase’s director of institutional sales, has defended the crypto exchange’s controversial acquisition of blockchain intelligence firm Neutrino. In an interview with financial news channel Cheddar on March 1, Sandler said that previous client data providers were selling Coinbase user data to outside sources.

As reported, major United States crypto exchange and wallet Coinbase first announced the Neutrino acquisition on Feb. 19, saying it would make use of the startup’s advanced blockchain analytics tools, Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer technology.

? Utah Bill Would Exempt Blockchain Firms from Money Transmitter Act

A lawmaker from the U.S. state of Utah has introduced a bill that would stop blockchain firms from being classed as money transmitters.

Republican senator Daniel Hemmert filed senate bill 213 last week, proposing that any person who “facilitates the creation, exchange, or sale” of certain blockchain-related products should be exempted from the state’s Money Transmitter Act.

The bill also aims to create a legislative group called the “Blockchain Pilot Project Evaluation Task Force” to study the potential of the technology in government services.

? An In-Depth Look at Ethereum’s Maker and Dai Stablecoin ](https://news.bitcoin.com/an-in-depth-look-at-ethereums-maker-and-the-stablecoin-dai/)

Since tether (USDT) bolstered the idea of a working stablecoin over the last few years, there’s been a variety of different types of stable cryptocurrencies that are usually pegged to the U.S. dollar. However, there’s one particular stablecoin that’s been a hot topic of discussion lately called dai, a coin that’s backed by ethereum locked into a smart contract.

The Maker team consists of CEO Rune Christensen, CTO Andy Milenius, President Steven Becker and roughly 18 other leaders. The community is relatively small but has been growing since the project’s inception. Maker and the stablecoin dai community have a blog, a chat forum, and its own subreddit where individuals discuss the nascent ecosystem. At press time, dai is ahead of the stablecoin GUSD with the 55th largest market capitalization of around $89.3 million.

So today we had a nice bounce from the support line at 0.39$ as expected but we haven’t been able to break the previous TOP. We are now doing a pattern called double top which is a bearish pattern. This pattern will be validated if we break the support line at 0.39$, so nothing is done yet. Just keep that scenario in mind. If that support line creates a new bounce, the double TOP will be invalidated and we should try to break the previous TOP again.

What does it take to get burned out?

March 3, 2019 (updated March 3, 2019) Published by

What ive seen during my time here are people with very different posting habits. There are those that are very active in the community that post very rarely and then there are those that arent active at all and post very frequently. And then theres everything in between.

Ever since i stopped frequenting Discord i regularly post twice a day which i find pretty awesome considering there were times when i couldnt find myself writing 1 post a week. True story.
At this point in time it is extremely simple for me to come up with a post. All it requires is a second to come up with a title and the rest of the post just flows easily.
Ive gotten so good at piling up words one after the other that i feel i could go on writing a simple post about, basically nothing, indefinitely.

But thats something i feel at this moment. The question is how long can it last?

This isnt a “job” and i am not a “blogger”. Well technically i am, but i wouldnt call myself that.
Its something that i do for fun and glory.
So stopping isnt that hard.
All it takes is not typing Steemit/Whaleshares into the google browser.

What if the price fell lower? Do you still stick around?

Well ive seen the STEEM price go as low as $0.23 while my posts were getting 20 cents on average. haha. And i still piled on post after post. I didnt even care when no one was reading my posts because i wrote for myself. And when my posts got read, and folks didnt like them, got mad and offended, i just flipped them off. (nicely. :D)

For some reason i just never feel like i should skip a day, take a break, and when i do skip a day, its because i was extremely busy and couldnt find a minute in the day.

Now i go and ask a question of the reader. lol

What would it take for you to get burned out? Low rewards? Bot nonsense? Stupid drama? No one reading your posts?

If youre spending time here now during this bear market, im pretty sure there arent many things that can burn you out.

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

? 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.

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.

Steem Monsters season ending //

February 28, 2019 (updated February 28, 2019) Published by

So another Steem monsters season is ending in approx. 8 hours. I think i can honestly say that im slowly starting to lag behind the other players, overall.

Ive probably mentioned it a million and one time already how i go about playing Steem monsters and what my “sale” tactics are.

Unfortunately i knew that i couldnt maintain my gains at the same levels indefinitely with minimal investment in my decks. Last few seasons i would regularly finish at Diamond 1, but i dont think i will manage to reach that rank this time around.

I would even do the dailies at higher ranks then this season which meant fewer cards every day. With all that i had a streak of bad luck this season so i barely managed to sell 10 STEEM worth of cards across both accounts. (Probably the worst ive done so far) And that includes rewards from the previous season end.

Ill try and push up a bit on the ladder to at least increase my rewards a bit for this season although i dont have high hopes pulling anything big. Been having diminishing luck ever since the legendary summoners drop that treated me very well, if i may say. 😛 hehe

Oh and one more thing to add for SM players. If you do pull something tomorrow dont sell it right away. You never sell cards when a large number of them reach player collections. The price drops really low, really fast and bounces back after a day or so. If youre selling, its best to sell after the initial card dump. And yes this IS card advice. 😛

Ill see you folks around and good luck to everyone with the draw.
