MIT Is Testing A Smart Contract-Powered Bitcoin Lightning Network

Revealed to CoinDesk last week, the prestigious U.S. university has been quietly demoing an experimental use case for bitcoin's lightning network, one that showcases how it might be combined with smart contracts to not only handle millions of transactions, but do so with a greater degree of complexity.

Modeled within the school's Digital Currency Initiative, started in 2015 as a way to further R&D on cryptocurrencies, the test envisions a system wherein transactions would take place automatically in the case of defined external events, based on say today's weather or the current price of U.S. dollars.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

It was nice today to see than even with the correction on the BTC, the STEEM was one of the rare altcoins to increase a little bit. I'm talking about some percents but it is always nice to have. However, we can see clearly that all our moves of the last days are included in the same canal and it looks very hard to go outside of it. This kind of consolidation finishes most of the time by creating a very nice Break Out. When we see how the STEEM moved today, it is not impossible to have a nice UP Break Out but as for every Break Out it is impossible to be sure at 100% of the direction that it will take.
