🗞 South Korea Internet Giant Moves Deeper Into Crypto

What a week for the peninsular nation, 대한민국 Republic of Korea.

The Binance cryptocurrency exchange is offering a $250,000 equivalent bounty on the arrest of the hackers involved in the March 7th incident, Binance stated in an announcement March 11.

“To ensure a safe crypto community, we can’t simply play defense. We need to actively prevent any instances of hacking before they occur, as well as follow through after-the-fact. Even though the hacking attempt against Binance on March 7th was not successful, it was clear it was a large-scale, organized effort. This needs to be addressed.”

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday where we were trying to break the support line in yellow :

Here is the current chart :

The support line in yellow created a bounce and we are now going in direction of the little resistance line in bleue. This resistance line is not a powerfull one and I don't expect that it will stop us for a long time. The support line in orange is much more important for the future trend so let's see what will happen when we will reach these levels.
