Before You Go Calling This A Bloodbath...

Let's keep in mind that this is a pretty understandable bloodbath. The expected raise of the interest rate by the Federal Reserve combined with less-expected news of a proposed crackdown on money laundering in the U.S. caused a panic sell that meant a lot of big, red numbers on coinmarketcap and a lot of panicky investors.

The report describing the bill could not have been more alarmist, but as investors it's good to be aware of the possible implications of a situation like this and from that perspective we can forgive them for being overly thorough. Call it clickbait if you like; most bills don't get passed and the bill seems to focus on the use of cryptocurrency as a money laundering tool rather than a target for direct investigation and if you believe in the technology then you know that the government can't make cryptocurrency go away. I'm pretty much in agreement with this far more levelheaded assessment of the situation. Invest responsibly and you'll be fine.

Swarm City Boardwalk Release

Swarm City released their platform Boardwalk today. I haven't had a change to try it out yet but fixing ride sharing was one of the first ideas that ran through my head when I started learning about blockchain applications and decentralized organizations so I'm very excited to see that the idea has been implemented and expanded beyond any of my expectations! Swarm City is a complete sharing platform so you can share rides, you can share rooms like airbnb, tools, knowledge, anything people can think of and are willing to share can now be shared.

Stellar Lumens giveway eh? interesting... Do you think that's enough for bitcoin to have a good day on June 26th? Also, I read that having bitcoin on an exchange would result in this happening automatically. Would you trust poloniex to do this efficiently (within the day of the 27th)? Thanks, feel free to just reply with an informative link.

It could make for a good day for bitcoin on the 26th but given everything going on with the hard fork/soft fork situation it's hard to say anything with certainty. Any news on that would probably have a more dramatic effect than the giveaway, but don't take my word for it!

It looks like you'll need access to your private keys so I don't know if you'll be able to claim Lumens from Bitcoin on an exchange unless the exchange has already prepared for the giveaway.

Helpful update on the current affairs.
