It is anticipated that members of the ECF that are already well established will act as pillars for emerging projects by "building out base infrastructure and supporting a more robust ecosystem of emerging projects."

The partnership - which was previously hinted at in a December statement - will see the development of a digital entertainment platform underpinned by the so-called Atari Token.

Here is the prediction that I was giving you yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

As you can see I was right and we are now testing the previous TOP. If the Bitcoin doesn't drop, I'm expecting that we should see a break out soon to break it with volume. A fail could send us towards the red line but it is not my 1st scenario.
