@cryptopassionBitcoin cash's next software upgrade may be even more ambitious than its first - and that's no small feat given last time it broke off from bitcoin in acrimonious fashion.
In fact, the update, announced in November and slated for May 15, packages together a number of features that all seem about helping the network process more transactions than the original bitcoin (while adding more variety to features). Perhaps most notably, the change will quadruple bitcoin cash's block size parameter from 8 MB to 32 MB, allowing for vastly more transactions per block.

Self-policing illicit activity on the blockchain may soon be a necessity for the cryptocurrency space.
The everyday cryptocurrency enthusiast in the future is likely to spend time identifying illicit wallets and transactions to avoid. The U.S. Treasury Department has made that inevitable.
A few weeks ago, Treasury quietly published additions to its FAQs section on the website for the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the unit which oversees U.S. economic sanctions. The language shows that OFAC is planning to include "digital currency" addresses on its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) list.

When Fundstrat Global speaks, the crypto world listens. In recent months it has been a steady font of good news for the ecosystem, with five figure price calls to predicting a very bright future, a crypto future. Resident guru Thomas Lee more-or-less foretold the current after tax season spike in prices when many others were decidedly bearish on the asset class.

@cryptopassionHere is the chart of yesterday :
Here is the current chart :
As you can see, the STEEM would like to do nice UP but this is the second time we are not able to stay upper than 4.20$
These fails created a double top and if we are not able to break this level soon, we should go back quickly on the support line around 3.65$. Let's see if we will have the needed volume to do that but at the time of this article, the Bitcoin is dropping so it is not helping for sure to break that double top.
