🗞 A Rebranded CoinMarketCap Launches IOS App In Honor Of Its 5th Birthday

CoinMarketCap.com (CMC), the highly popular crypto price tracker, has released an IOS app today, April 30, in honor of its 5th birthday.

“When we launched CoinMarketCap [in 2013], we were tracking seven cryptocurrencies and only a handful of exchanges and markets with a total market capitalization of approximately $1.6 bln USD. As of May 1st, 2018, we are tracking over 1,600 cryptocurrencies and 200 exchanges with a total market capitalization over $400 bln USD! “

Japanese Forex Giant GMO to Launch New UK Crypto Trading App

Japanese brokers already dominate the global online retail FX and CFD market by trading volumes. And it now looks like they will try to leverage their country’s receptive regulatory environment to expand internationally with crypto too. The latest example is an app in the UK created by two groups headquartered in Tokyo.

🗞 Not Just Bitcoin: OpenBazaar Is Gearing Up for a Radical Redesign

Since startup OB1 launched in 2014 to develop a "bitcoin-powered" online market, the founders have focused almost exclusively on the world's largest cryptocurrency. But with the scaling debate still raging in some ways, OB1 co-founder Washington Sanchez took to Twitter recently to vent his frustrations about that course of action.

🗞 Ripple Put on Defensive at UK Parliament Blockchain Hearing

Skepticism dominated a Tuesday hearing on cryptocurrencies and blockchain at the U.K. parliament, but it was not the members of parliament (MPs) who set the negative tone.

Rather, it was interbank payments startup Ripple's XRP cryptocurrency and blockchain platforms that came under fire as Martin Walker, director of the non-profit Centre for Evidence Based Management and a former product developer at blockchain consortium R3, claimed that the technologies are unlikely to solve inefficiencies in the financial sector, specifically criticizing Ripple's current products.

🗞 IOTA Supporters: Tweeting a News Link Is “Spreading FUD”

The list of crimes to earn the opprobrium of IOTA fans is growing by the day. Journalists who fail to pen fawning hagiographies of David Sønstebø and his team are singled out for persecution by IOTA acolytes. But it’s not just reporters who are blacklisted: anyone who tweets a link to an IOTA story – or who even likes a tweet – is also deemed an enemy combatant.

🗞 Think Tank Director Tells UK Parliament That Blockchain Is ‘Pixie Dust’ and ‘Magic Wands’

Martin Walker, director of the Center for Evidence-Based Management, dismissed blockchain technology, calling it a “pixie dust” fad before the British Parliament, Business Insider reported May 1.

"All that it takes to make a credible idea into a fad is people just switch off their brains and stop thinking. Over 20 years in and around the banking industry — blockchain is a fad, but I have seen many fads in my career. If 10 percent of what I've heard in my career had come true, we would have these amazing banks that run for £1 a week."

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

Again my prediction of yesterday was 100% correct. The drop tested the support line around 3.65$ and till now this support line is holding it.

A break of that line could send us very low because we don't have lot of support under it. So let's hope together that we won't break it during the coming hours. Till now, we have a little bounce so we are in the good direction.
