🗞 Top 5 Cryptocurrency Rivalries

While there is weight to the argument that the success of one cryptocurrency promotes the success of all cryptocurrencies, there are certainly a number of coins whose communities and even development teams have adopted a position of spite and rivalry toward competing projects. Here are five of the best rivalries throughout cryptocurrency.

🗞 💰Update on the Collaborative SteemFund - 4th Week💰

How does it work ?

I started by making a quite diversified Crypto Investment Fund with cryptos I like and I believe have great underlying projects.

Every week, depending on the comments I receive on this post or on my Twitter account, I will make a survey asking if we should integrate a new "Crypto".

Portfolio as of Wednesday March 7th

🗞 SWIFT’s Blockchain Pilot For Bank-To-Bank Transfers Went ‘Extremely Well’

A report by the financial messaging provider SWIFT and 34 global transaction banks that sought to answer the question of how distributed ledger technology (DLT) (Blockchain) Proof of Concept (PoC) can help Nostro account reconciliation has been published today, March 8, with positive results.

🗞 Bots Blamed for Binance Bug That Leaves Traders Reeling

Binance has found itself at the center of an unusual trading bug that has created big winners and losers. In a matter of minutes, viacoin pumped by 70x. Just to compound the drama, bitcoin experienced a massive sell-off shortly afterwards following bearish news from the SEC. Binance suspended withdrawals while it investigated the matter, but these have since been reactivated. Wednesday March 7 will go down as a memorable day in the exchange’s short history, but one with a happy ending.

🗞 Mt. Gox Soap Opera Continues: Karpeles Released on Bail, Shadow Companies, and Whale Dumps

Mt. Gox Mark Karpeles’ release on bail has produced a new radio program examining the historic hack and heist, but is also raising questions about sister exchanges such as BTC-e and their role in laundering stolen bitcoin. If all that wasn’t enough, a Gox trustee decided to dump over 400 million USD in bitcoin core and bitcoin cash in an effort to make Gox creditors whole.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Yesterday, I was showing you that chart, saying you that the support line in blue was doing its job :

Here is the current chart :

As you can see, the break of the blue line increased the drop and we even broke the long term support line in orange which was holding the moves since mid january.

This line is very important, look how she did well its work the previous weeks :

If we break it during a very short time, like the 2 previous times, we can use it to start a bounce. However if the break is confirmed during a longer period, this is really not a good news for STEEM. Let's see the coming hours and see if we are able to come back upper of that line.
