TOP THREE:
FIRST: Please note: XLM ready to break up/out. Has been added to another exchange also.

SECOND: ETC has reloaded and is on the climb and there is an upcoming airdrop. Coin holders will receive 1:1 ratio of the new coin Callisto (CLO). ETC is called the real Ether add the Callao airdrop for a sweet ride. If you are interested act asap please. It broke and retested the 200 ema (green line) and then took off in a bullish channel. It surpassed resistance levels at 0.0030 and 0.0036 with ease. It may retrace so watch and wait for another ABC pattern. Look for a pullback to either 0.0036 or preferable the top of the channel to gain the percentage play on this move. People are excited about Verified Digital Asset status for ETC and some say early buyers will drop ETC (sell off) for a profit.

THIRD: Charlie Lee (Litecoin Founder) confirms that talk of ANY fork is a scam.
LTC forecast:
Bullish Targets 1: $200 Target 2: $239 Target 3 $400

Currently the market cap sits at 413 billion USD. There is a push for BTC to hit 9,000 USD. This is why many advocates are encouraging the purchase of the coin.

** IF you are interested in amazing TA for BITCOIN please follow/upvote PHILAKONE (twitter is @philakoneCrypto).

The premium uncharge rate to purchase cryptocurrency in South Korea currently sits at 3-4% which is down a little. This puts South Korea as the 8th on the list of those purchasing Bitcoin (historically they have been consistently 1st and 2nd).

CHINA attempts to limit Cryptocurrency again. They are specifically looking at private groups in which people meet to buy the currency underground. They want to stop unofficial buying/trading and are making increased efforts to circumvent this process.

Positive Buy Volume
Some analysts are forecasting that Bitcoin is about to explode in price. In the end the estimate is that each bitcoin will be valued at 1 million dollars. A big bearish channel is consolidating and a clear reverse head and shoulders pattern has formed. Some are trying to predict the best outbreak and it is difficult because RSI volume is down and Bitcoin seems to have patterns at trading sidewise. People are watching closely and looking for a steady increase in price (instead of an extreme shoot up and dive down) over the next few months. Altcoins will also gain with a slower rise up. It is going to take a few days to a few week to see what trend is forming (unless a significant increase in volume increases). These may be some of the lowest prices Bitcoin will see (some say like ever again).

Bitcoin has only touched below the 30 RSI four times in the last year (March, July, September). When it touched it, each time it rose to all time highs. BTC RSI touched here yesterday and the rise is expected to take 2-3 months.

Iceland mining operations are popular and significant. They are using a great amount of electricity. They are debating whether to instate a mining tax. In many countries electricity is subsidize electricity and some are beginning to research the requests and add fees or taxes for mining activities.

@bitfinex just announced that they will creat EOSFinex, a decentralised exchange for EOS and EOS tokens. Some see this as a big deal and state that ETH has some serious competition this year.

Coinbase Commerce
Coinbase, a company that houses people's digital wallets for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, has a new way to pay and both consumers and merchants are noticing the option. The service, called Coinbase Commerce, "enables merchants to accept multiple cryptocurrencies" so funds arrive directly in their own wallets. It can be integrated straight into their own online checkout processes.

Bitcoin block times is currently at 8 minutes, 660 nodes, 0.7 billion in trade volume in the last 24 hours and the hash rate is back on track.

Cryptojacking. Browse Allowed is a plus-in that is placed (a malicious code that is injected into someone else's site) which then mines Monero (XMR). Some companies like Starbucks mine cryptocurrency in the background. What happens is a short code, javascript, is injected and then users will see that CPU usage goes up. Monero has seen a four times increase in mining in the last two months. It is one cryptocurrency that doesn't require the hardware that Bitcoin and others do to mine. Using computers works.

Gamers and other high powered CPU owners can now contribute to a cause which helps children in Syria by loading Game Changers. This will mine in the background and proceeds go to helping children.

Ethereum: There are currently 1 million transactions per day. Blockchain Growth: 27% located in North America. America, Russia, China and Germany are running the most transactions.

LITECOIN CASH
Litecoin Cash is coming but apparently there is some controversy. Charlie Lee claims there is no such fork. That being said, here is the information out on the web. Please verify any interest or action with this process.

The Litecoin Cash team says "For every 1 LTC you hold at block 1371111, you can claim 10 LCC" I think this is how to safely get you free LCC without being Scammed if The Father is right.

Never ever paste private keys that hold any currency into any website or wallet in order to claim forked coins.

Step 1

Wait for the fork to happen
Move your Litecoin to a new address
Use the private key for the "old" address to claim your LCC
