πŸ—ž Canadian Blockchain Company To Develop Cannabis Supply Chain Platform

But until last week, that was a state-by-state strategy, as recreational cannabis is illegal in most places. However, with Canada legalizing the recreational use of marijuana nationwide on October 17, things have ramped up. The same day, a Canadian cryptocurrency mining company, DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc., announced its intentions to develop a blockchain-powered global supply chain to track the quality of cannabis.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

So after the test of the support line around 0.81$ yesterday, we had a bounce for it but apparently the market is not yet decided with the direction to take. It looks like we want go test the support line again. A new bounce from it would confirm that a strong support line is taking place but I'm also afraid that we finish to break it. Let's see what the market will do in the coming hours.
