Steem Exclusive Digest (10 Nov - 23 Nov 2018)

_{Read about all the things we have been doing at CoinGecko!}

Welcome to CoinGecko’s second fortnightly digest! We will recap what has happened over the past 14 days.

Being one of the leading cryptocurrency data aggregators, we uphold transparency strongly and that includes updating the community on what we have been doing behind the scenes. It is with the hope that this fortnightly digest can keep all of you updated on our journey.

_{CoinGecko Speaks}

First, a word from CoinGecko

The market slump has been a subject of great fear and disappointment within the whole cryptocurrency community. In mere weeks, a whole $70 Billion Dollar was wiped out from existence. Some claim to know the people responsible for what’s happened, some rationalized the factor that gave rise to the fall.

We, however, can confidently assure you that this is the ebb and flow of the cryptocurrency market. In fact, while many naysayers have said yet again that “Bitcoin is dead”, the market price has only fallen back to its pre-bull-run price little over a year ago.

The Bitcoin Cash hard fork is also a hot topic over the fortnight. For us over at CoinGecko, what happened was the proof of decentralization in action. At this juncture, Coingecko recognizes BCHABC as Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin SV will be listed as a separate altcoin.
