🗞 The Top 5 Decentralized Crypto Exchanges to Watch out for in 2018

DEXs are quickly gaining popularity over centralized exchanges because they let regular investors leverage faster trades. As Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has stated, the focus of DEXs is “NOT satisfying the needs of ‘whales’ and professional traders. Rather, it is in user convenience for regular people.” If DEXs become more user-friendly and offer the advanced trading features common on centralized exchanges, their popularity is likely to surge.

🗞 Lightning + NFC? The New Plan to Bring Bitcoin to Retail

Imagine a way to expand bitcoin payments to millions per second. Now, imagine a clunky, command-line interface.

That's the extent of the divide between the vision enabled by bitcoin's best-yet scaling solution, the lightning network, and the current state of its design. But while that's daunting, developers are moving ahead on designs to make the payment system easier to use, with one recently submitting a proposal for connecting lightning with a payment technology that could make it feel as futuristic as it's touted.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

As I was explaining you yesterday, we were following closely the MMA20 and we reached the resistance line at 2.85$. However, the bull volume was not enough this time to break that resistance line and the drop came back.

We have now to look at the previous low, we broke it during some hours (brown line) but we are now up again. It is possible that we use that line as support to continue the UP. However, if that little support doesn't hold, I'm afraid that the correction will continue in direction of the MMA50 (violet line). Let's see what will happen in the coming hours.
