🗞 Losing the Lambos: It's Time to Get Serious About Crypto's Big Questions

"Crypto in crisis."

Mainstream press outlets covering battered crypto markets have frequently invoked that phrase in recent weeks. For those of us who've followed the cryptocurrency scene for five years or more, the natural retort is: "When hasn't it been in crisis?"

I would suggest that crisis – or at least relentless, chaotic drama – is the natural state for an open-source technology that engages a diverse, global, leaderless community in exploring an idea that promises to reorganize the fabric of our economy.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

Today, we can see clearly a support line in formation on the STEEM. We had several touchs on it and we can see clearly that we are following closely this line. Will this line help us to try to break the resistance line in orange or will we have a DOWN break out very soon? The market will decide but I think we should see an important move very soon, let's hope it will be in the good direction.

Such incidents happening in India are making it real hard for the government to remove the ban on cryptocurrencies. People fall prey to these ponzi schemes and lose their trust in cryptocurrencies.

I could not agree more and I tried to warn many about it.
Actually my "10 Facts why Bitconnect is a Ponzi" was my most read article on Steemit. More than 5k views at the time. I hope I managed to save a few people.
