There hasn't been much movement from the time this call was given but surely we wicked in with an entry at around $3580. Currently it's just the boring sideways but we can actually see something coming up in the next 24 hours. Weekly is close so watch out at the bigger frames.

MANA/BTC
That is a huge cup and handle in the making. Will make a fabulous buy for mid term traders.

In April Vitalik Buterin announced via Twitter that the Sharding improvement is coming to Ethereum network. But what is this new solution to the scalability problems of Ethereum?

Sharding — a method of increasing the number of transactions a blockchain can process by dividing the entire network into partitions called shards. With sharding certain nodes are assigned certain shards, instead of having every single node go through the entire transaction history of the blockchain. This optimizes the validation process of transactions and smart contracts, increases the throughput capacity of the network and helps in solving blockchains scalability problem.

To implement this solution the Ethereum blockchain must switch to the Proof of Stake algorithm when working with shards. In return sharding will enable the network to issue new blocks every two to eight seconds, which is significantly faster than existing Proof of Work blockchains like Bitcoin. Buterin believes that sharding is one of the most promising second layer solutions to network scalability, which can be achieved without the need for "super-nodes".

Why on earth are you sending all this techy shit?
The market has played sideways straight. All it does is like some automatic water purifier making the noise. Teetoo-teetoo. Allday sideways.
There is no volume at all. Even a baby shark can make the market topple. Insignificant BOTs are the only ones that are setting up walls. So how to best utilize this time? We learn. We expand our knowledge. It helps us understand the protocols better. And we improve. A better trader and investor over time.

Why is this Quarter bearish?
I already know how annoyed you'll are with me constantly calling bear but let me break this down for you. We are going in cycles. The 60 week low is coming in the first quarter in February. I know I called January but it's the process. Slow caressing by the bears until you get exhausted and start losing faith. We have seen the same cycle back in 2013 November and around 2014 but what followed? The $20,000 bull run. I expect the coming bull to take us over $33,000 in 2022. That's the real bull you wanna see.
Start accumulating. Be smarter than the whales. Be a Potato.

Holy Potato. Ethereum went to $111 on binance. That short was orgasmic.
Down from $126 to $111 made you like $15 on each ethereum.
We are mashing this bear market baby!

Position Update
I reccommed you all close your shorts on ethereum. I find the charts look amazing for a long. We have seen a systematic drop from over $150 which made us enormous amount of profits and now we believe we can have a wave up which can potentially shoot back to $150 ranges.

Position: LONG
Currency: Ethereum
Leverage: 5x to 10x
Entry: $110 - $112
Target : $127 to $155
Stop-loss : $107.5

Waves is going parabolic. You probably know why this portfolio was the best pick of 2019.

BCHH19 4H Bullish
The previous quarter of 2018 gave a ton of drama for Bitcoin Cash with beat any Netflix series I watched, but now it's super stable. And I repeat stable. Not dead.
The coin has had a phenomenal consolidation and I believe it's time we start picking in the longs.

HOTBTC is a beast
This one has been jumping around for a while and it reminds me of SiaCoin from last year around this time. I see this one has some potential and might actually break the 100 satoshis deadlock soon.

Big green dildo that no one expected. But WE DID IT AGAIN.

Types of Blockchain

1. Public blockchain: no restrictions on reading block data (which can also be encrypted) and sending transactions.

2. Private blockchain: direct access to data and the right to send transactions are granted to a limited number of organizations.

3. Permissionless blockchain: no restrictions related to the identity of transaction validators, i.e., users who can generate blocks.

4. Permissioned blockchain: transactions are processed by approved individuals that underwent identity verification. A permissioned blockchain doesn’t necessarily have to be private.

The Crypto exchange Litmus test
This happens on all exchanges but the takeaway is how the exchange reacts to it. How the cut the losses and ensure security. Binance did well with the SYS coin hack. Now it's on Cryptopia.

You remember this one?
Back in October I knew this had potential and still does. One of the holds you want to grab in dips

Chinese Ethereum - NEO
I did make the call when we bottomed out. We did a nice run up and saw the greens. Now I see this has entered a continuation of the rising channel and might retrace towards the previous highs. Watch out for this one.
