🗞 Blockchain's Once-Feared 51% Attack Is Now Becoming Regular

Monacoin, bitcoin gold, zencash, verge and now, litecoin cash.

At least five cryptocurrencies have recently been hit with an attack that used to be more theoretical than actual, all in the last month.

🗞 Fortune: R3 Blockchain Consortium Is ‘Running out of Money’, Director Denies Rumors

While last year R3 had implied that the company had a larger goal of raising $200 mln in funding, R3 told Fortune that the figure came from a now-cancelled plan to sell a stake in a research subsidiary.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

Yesterday, we were still progressing in direction of our resistance line to go test it. This progression stopped and we are now stucked in the middle of our 2 lines, this is a kind of move that we see often on the STEEM. We need now to wait a break out in one of the direction, break out which will be I think in the same direction than the BTC move. Let's wait and see.
