🗞 Democracy of Two: NEO and the Crypto 'Election' That Wasn't

What constitutes an election?

According those backing ethereum competitor neo, just one candidate and two voters.

The public blockchain project, whose tokens are valued at over $2 billion by crypto investors, went so far as to claim in a July 4 blog post that it had entered a "new era" in which its token holders will have a say in how decisions on the network are made, but even insiders are skeptical such assertions are little more than rhetoric.

🗞 FINRA Approval Of Coinbase Acquisitions Sets Stage For Security Token Trading

A little more than a month after acquiring Keystone Capital, Venovate Marketplace Inc, and Digital Wealth LLC, Coinbase has reportedly received approval for the deals from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The acquisitions – which provide the exchange with a broker-dealer license, an alternative trading system license, and registered investment advisor license – will pave the way for Coinbase to list blockchain-based security tokens for trading. These are digital assets that represent equity in a company.

🗞 Hedge Fund Issues Bearish Call on Ethereum and Sides with BTC

🗞 Mueller Indictment Fuels Opposing Claims About Cryptocurrency

On July 13, Robert Mueller's team filed an indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers. These agents are accused of hacking the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee during the lead-up to the 2016 election. The indictment depicts an enormous theft of documents from those organizations, an effort to damage Democrats' chances in the election, an elaborate disinformation campaign, and an international technical infrastructure paid for using cryptocurrency.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

Yesterday, I was saying you that :

We still have increases to do to be able to test it but never forget than altcoin are sometimes moving much more powerfully than the BTC.

And we are now testing it and it is almost broke :-)

We could now use it as a support to continue the UP. Most of the time, when we break a resistance line, we do a pull back on it and use it as support. This is very usual. We need now to see if the market will confirm or not this scenario.

Trading Platform with High Volume & Low Fees : Binance
