π Bitcoin Price is Stuck Below Key Hurdle For Fourth Week
Bitcoin is having a tough time scaling a key moving average hurdle that has kept the bulls in check for four weeks straight.
The obstacle that is proving so hard to beat is the 10-week exponential moving average (EMA), which stalled a rally attempt from around $6,100 in mid-September.
Since then, BTC has notably failed to produce a weekly close (Sunday's close as per UTC) above the EMA, establishing it as a crucial level to beat for the bulls.

The document explains that in current blockchain systems, the transaction records stored in the different blocks that comprise a blockchain are βoften required to be of the same format and include the same types, and sometimes even sizes, of data.β

π Justin Sun Says Upgraded TRON Will Be Faster Than Ethereum, Cheaper Than EOS
The TRON Foundation is currently completing a mainnet upgrade of the TRON blockchain, which includes TRON Virtual Machine (TVM) and its smart contract functionality. Founder Justin Sun tweeted his anticipations for the platform yesterday, telling Dapp developers that TRON would be for them.
After achieving community support for the Odyssey 3.1 mainnet upgrade, the update is progressing, appearing to go smoothly so far. It includes the launch of TVM, an application environment that will allow developers to create and test applications and smart contract functionality before going live on the TRON mainnet. TVM is compatible with the Ethereum blockchain and will also allow developers to code in Solidity, the Ethereum-developed programming language. The TRON Foundation has plans to make TVM compatible with EOS and other blockchain networks.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion
Here is the chart of yesterday :
Here is the current chart :
Today, we touched and tested the MME50 (violet mobile line) and it created a little bounce. I like to check this line because most of the time, when we break the MME50, it means that we are changing of trend. So till now, we can consider that we are continuing the UP trend that we started some days ago. Let's see if it will be confirmed with the next candles.
