🗞 Ethereum Devs Reach Consensus to Delay Constantinople Hard Fork Until January 2019

Ten years after Satoshi published the white paper that gave us bitcoin – and the explosion of innovation it launched – I continue to be astounded at its transformative power.

Money is such a fundamental part of life, and it has played such a huge role in mine, for good and bad. Bitcoin is the awakened sleeping giant of it all because it has fundamentally and forever changed money and, more importantly, money's seat of power.

🗞 Bitcoin's White Paper Gave Us Liberty – Let's Not Give It Back

The escalating U.S. – China trade war threatens to have an adverse impact on the operations of Chinese mining equipment manufacturers, with imports of mining hardware now facing stateside tariffs of more than 25 percent.

In June, the Office of the United States Trade Representative reclassified Bitmain’s Antminer S9 as an “electrical machinery apparatus,” rather than a “data processing machine,” subjecting it to a 2.6 percent tariff. But in late August, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump followed up on that decision by imposing an additional 25 percent tariff on Chinese mining hardware, bringing total tariffs on the Antminer S9 to 27.6 percent.

🗞 Cardano Price Notes a Small Gain Following Favorable Icarus Audit

The cryptocurrency markets have seen some interesting momentum today, even though no major price changes have occurred as of yet. Cardano is trying to note some solid gains right now, albeit reaching $0.08 seems to be a stretch too far. Even so, the positive momentum among altcoins can make for a rather interesting weekend.

🗞 Bitcoin Cash Merchant Directory Marco Coino Surpasses 500 Listings

Over the last year bitcoin cash adoption has been thriving and in certain regions, BCH merchants are spreading like wildfire. Thanks to a slew of cryptocurrency payment processors and people pressing for adoption there are thousands of BCH accepting merchants these days. One application called Marco Coino helps bitcoiners find BCH brick-and-mortar retailers on a global map and the platform now hosts over 500 known merchants.

🗞 Only 39 Percent Pass Malta’s Cryptocurrency Exam

The pass rate for the exam developed by the Maltese government for financial services practitioners seeking to obtain cryptocurrency agent certification is reportedly only 39 percent. The exam is part of the requirements mandated by the country’s newly established Virtual Financial Assets Act.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

The 0.81$ level created a bounce and we are now upper of this one. This should confirm this support line as a greet support. We still need to break the resistance line around 0.87$ to be able to reach the main resistance level at 1$. Let's see what the BTC will do for us as we are each time impacted a lot with any big moves on the BTC. The level of 0.87$ is really the point to keep an eye on it!
