đź—ž Bitcoin Hovers Over $3,850 as Most Top Cryptos See Losses
Saturday, March 2 — the top 20 cryptocurrencies are reporting minor to medium losses on the day to press time. Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering just over the $3,850 mark again, according to Coin360 data.
đź—ž Unconfirmed: Goldman Sachs-Backed Crypto Payments Startup Circle Seeks $250M in Funding
Goldman Sachs-backed cryptocurrency finance firm Circle is reportedly looking to raise $250 million of funding in a combination of equity and debt. The source of information are claims made by an anonymous person familiar with the company’s plans, as cited in a report by technology news website The Information on March 2.
According to the article, Circle — which generates revenue from trading fees on its cryptocurrency exchanges (Poloniex and the institutional offering Circle Trade) — has seen a decrease in its proceeds after the overall crypto market crash lead to decreased trading volumes. Still, in an interview with The Information, Circle’s co-founder Jeremy Allaire claimed that the company’s revenue grew between 2017 and 2018 despite the fall in crypto prices.
đź—ž Ethereum Foundation Director Sets New Vision for Blockchain Non-Profit
“When the Ethereum Foundation was founded, the Ethereum Foundation was ethereum. People in the Foundation were the ones that were building ethereum. Now, that’s not the case.”
That’s Aya Miyaguchi, executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, the non-profit organization founded and dedicated to the continuing development of the world’s second-largest blockchain by total value.
Since Miyaguchi’s appointment in early 2018, however, the ethereum platform has faced severe market turmoil, with the price of the blockchain’s native cryptocurrency, ether, dropping from a high of roughly $1,100 in early 2018 to roughly $130 today. Further, it’s seen rising competition in the form of new blockchains touting more advanced smart contracts and more sustainable decentralized application infrastructures.
đź—ž How to Use Multisig to Keep Your Coins Ultra-Safe
Multi-signature, or multisig, is a wallet configuration that requires at least two keys to authorize a transaction. Commonly used by cryptocurrency exchanges to ensure funds can’t be moved by a rogue employee, multisig also has applications for end-users. If you’re seeking to enhance the security of your noncustodial bitcoin wallet, multi-signature might be the answer.
đź—ž The (Crypto) Future Is Kid Stuff: Onboarding The Youth
If you give an 11-year-old some Ether, she'll be curious. If you (try) to give a 16-year-old some ETH, she'll be hesitant.
These two insights lie at the core of a recent experiment conducted by Mechanism Labs' Alexis Gauba. Curious about what the crypto landscape looked like for younger generations, Gauba set out to give both an 11-year-old and a 16-year-old free ETH to learn about their onboarding experience. Were they willing to use it? If so, what would they spend it on?

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion
Here is the chart of yesterday :
Here is the current chart :
So yesterday I was saying you that the correction was perhaps already finished. I was little bit too much optimist but nothing really wrong, we are now held by the support line at 0.39$ and we are consolidating a litlle. We need to see if the drop will really stop at this point and if the UP continuation takes place soon for new highs.
