That's how one ethereum user described the latest effort to recover $264 million in cryptocurrency lost due to a code fault in a popular ethereum wallet.

In order to ban access to the messenger, the authority has blocked nearly 20 mln Google and Amazon Internet Protocol (IP) addresses as of April 17, but Russia’s Telegram users say that the app still works without applying any additional means of circumventing the block, such as proxy and VPN services.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

Resistance line at 2.85$ tested for the 2nd time but we failed again to break it.

It looks like that we are progressing inside a descending triangle that I draw you in green. We should now go touch the lower line of the triangle and have a bounce from it. Let's see if the coming hours will confirm that scenario.
