🗞 Crypto Winter Is Here and We Only Have Ourselves to Blame
I have a friend who has made a significant fortune out of bitcoin. He is one of those enthusiasts who happily hands out the cryptocurrency to others in the interest of spreading adoption.
All of that is good. However, one thing has always infuriated me: his boasts, especially last year, that he was spreading belief in bitcoin because the small amount he’d distributed to random people over the years was now worth X times more in dollar terms. He loved it, he said, when they’d call to thank him.
Why on earth would I have an issue with this generosity of spirit? Because it perpetuated a narrative that speculative gains, measured in fiat currency terms, was bitcoin’s core value proposition for the world.
🗞 $35 Million: Sequoia, Baidu Back Turing Award Winner’s Blockchain Project
A group of university professors and researchers including a Turing award winner have raised $35 million for a non-profit foundation that will support the development of a new blockchain network.
Announced Tuesday, the Conflux Foundation is registered in Singapore and will use the proceeds to fuel work on its network. Backers include venture capital firms Sequoia China and Baidu Ventures, crypto mining firm F2Pool and exchange Huobi, as well as Metastable and IMO Ventures.
With the new capital, the foundation said it’s now looking to expand its 10-person development team. The goal: roll out a testing environment in February and officially launch a new public blockchain around the third quarter of next year.
🗞 Korean Incoming Minister Confirms Crypto Taxation Plans
South Korea’s incoming finance minister, Hong Nam-ki, has reportedly unveiled his government’s taxation plans for cryptocurrency and initial coin offerings. A task force consisting of experts from government agencies and the private sector will be formed to examine overseas cases to establish domestic cryptocurrency tax rules.
🗞 G20 Leaders Pledge Crypto-Asset Regulation After Buenos Aires Meeting
The pledge came amid a broader section on building “an open and resilient financial system,” which the document noted “is crucial to support sustainable growth,” stating:
“We will continue to monitor and, if necessary, tackle emerging risks and vulnerabilities in the financial system; and, through continued regulatory and supervisory cooperation, address fragmentation. We look forward to continued progress on achieving resilient non-bank financial intermediation.”

STEEM Trading Update by my friend 
Here is the chart of yesterday :
Here is the current chart :
We did a last test of the resistance line just before starting a new drop on the STEEM. This test was expected but I was hoping we could perhaps break that resistance line. So as explained yesterday, we should now go test the previous low on the STEEM and we have a high risk to break it... Let's see.
