Welcome to the Daily Crypto News: A complete Press Review, Coin Calendar and Trading Analysis. Enjoy!

🗞 Steemit Statistics & Big Data: 🚀 End of November 2018 Update 🚀

We reached 13.26 mn visits in November!

There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 13.26mn include the multiple times a person visited the website.

Therefore, as a good Steemian you probably connect everyday which will make you count for a total of 30 visits.

Therefore, how many "unique users" does Steemit has?

🗞 Why Crypto Winter Won’t Be 2019’s Defining Story

In 2018, I thought about two anniversaries.

The first, we’re all familiar with. By the end of this year, it will have been a decade since Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin and launched a new industry.

The second anniversary is a personal one. After launching the Deloitte blockchain practice with two friends in 2012, I moderated a panel at Money/2020 in 2013. This space was so new, we did not have a name for blockchain yet; rather, the panel I led was called “Bitcoin 2.0.” Yet, we knew more would come from the technology.

What do I expect to see in 2019? Given the speed and volatility of cryptocurrency, you’ll have to allow me some margin of error, but here’s what I see coming in the next 12 months:

Investing at the bottom: If we haven’t reached the solstice of the crypto winter yet, we’re very close; brighter and warmer days are coming soon. The early days of 2019 are the time to make bets on the best tokens and the best teams. I call it the new Rockefeller moment.

A new Howey test: The SEC’s increased scrutiny of blockchain has meant that blockchain proponents have had to learn about SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., the 1946 Supreme Court case that defined securities in U.S. law. I expect the courts to promulgate a new test for blockchain, which will let investors place their money with greater confidence.

🗞 This Price Chart Indicates Bitcoin’s Bulls Are Back in Business

Bitcoin (BTC) is looking increasingly bullish on a key technical chart following its strong move above $4,000.

The leading cryptocurrency by market value first teased bullish reversal on Dec. 17 with the creation of an “outside reversal” candle on the widely followed 3-day chart. The early indicator of a bearish-to-bullish trend change, however, needed confirmation in the form of a positive follow-through.

Alongside BTC’s $600 rally, the cryptocurrency closed above $4,000 yesterday confirming the bullish reversal on the 3-day chart.****

🗞 🚀 Facebook is Developing a Cryptocurrency for Transfers in WhatsApp 🚀

Facebook is reportedly making a cryptocurrency for users of the messaging service WhatsApp, Bloomberg reports on Dec. 20.

The token will purportedly be used for money transfers made within the app, and will focus on the remittances market in India.

The Indian remittances market is significant. According to data from the World Bank, the country received nearly $69 billion dollars in foreign remittances in 2017, or 2.8 percent of the country’s GDP.

Germany’s Second-Largest Stock Exchange and SolarisBank Partner to Launch Crypto Exchange

SolarisBank and Stuttgart Exchange Group are jointly developing infrastructure for a cryptocurrency exchange, Cointelegraph Germany reports Dec. 12.

The Stuttgart Exchange, founded in 1860, is the second-largest stock exchange in Germany and the ninth-largest in Europe. SolarisBank, on the other hand, is a German fintech company established in 2015 that holds a banking license and offers a “Banking as a Platform” service.

This news goes along with the plans announced by the exchange in May to release a zero-fee cryptocurrency trading application.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

The STEEM is still progressing in the direction of the major resistance line around 0.31$. The Up on the BTC is the welcome as it is helping us heavly to try to reach that level, even we are still far. I think that we will have soon a consolidation but if we are able to stay upper than the resistance line in red, the UP trend should continue.
