🗞 Institutions Are Coming for Your Crypto

The term "institutional crypto" sounds like an oxymoron. There's something quite ironic about financial institutions adopting a renegade technology that was designed to do away with them.

Yet a string of developments this past month suggests that – to put it bluntly – the institutions are coming for your crypto.

Whether this is something to be alarmed, excited or bemused by, depends on what you want out of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Do you want fully independent control over your assets, a more efficient and inclusive global economy, or just to get insanely rich?

🗞 Zcash To Hard Fork Monday, Enabling Lighter Private Transactions

The Zcash blockchain is set to hard fork on October 29, 2018, upgrading the network to make shielded transactions less computationally heavy, thereby making its currency easier to use.

The Zcash blockchain and coin (ZEC) went live in October 2016 with a focus on privacy by using zero-knowledge proofs. Zcash was the first big application of zk-SNARKs, a variation of zero-knowledge proofs that allow them to be used in blockchains and reduce their size and the computational strain on the network.

In addition to emphasizing that they are not virtual currencies, the regulator clarified the registration requirements for their issuers and dealers.

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

Look how the technical analysis is so powerfull... we have touched my support line at 0.77$ very precisely and we had a bounce from it as expected, exactly what I predicted some days ago. We have now to see in the coming hours what will happen because the bounce doesn't look very powerfull and we are going already in the direction of this same line. So I think a second test will be done soon and this support line must hold us or we have a risk of an important drop again.
