For Trading JULY 23rd EARNINGS GALORE! MSFT & CMG BEAT, STOCKS LOWER TSLA is Eligible for S&P-500 Today’s market got off to a mixed start with DJIA & S&P-500 up slightly and the NASDAQ down. It didn’t take long for the DJIA to move higher dragging the S&P with it but it took most of the day to get the NASDAQ to go up and stay there. At the close the DJIA was +165.44 (.62%), S&P-500 +18.72 (.57%) and the NAZ +25.77 (.24%), the Russell +2.63 (.18%) and the DJ Transports -13. Volume was light and the A/D were 1.5:1 up on the NYSE and 6:5 Down on the NASDAQ. Real estate, Utilities and materials were the strongest and energy and financials the weaker. On the DJIA we were 23:7 higher but without much action and the biggest winner was MCD +39, and GS -42DP’s each. Tomorrow MSFT will probably take 50 DP’s off the averages based on the extended hours trading after the earnings report. Our “open forum” on Discord, which allows me to interact with subscribers and others to allow direct questions and chart opinions on just about any stock, continues to grow with more participants every day. It is informative and allows me to share insights as the market is open and moving. The link is: https://discord.gg/ATvC7YZ and I will be there and active from before the open and all day. It’s a great place to share ideas and gain some insights, and we’ve grown to almost 3000 members. I also did this video titled “How to survive being an options trader and not blow up your account,” over the long weekend. I think it’s highly informative as a guide to stock selection and option choices. The link is https://youtu.be/Y7H9RpWfLlo Enjoy!! Tonight’s closing comment video https://youtu.be/GwDLF8SI16k SECTORS: Earnings were the feature this week and last night TXN reported and had been up a few, but after the conference call it fell and finished today $132.53 -2.97. SNAP beat top and bottom lines but gave poor guidance for next quarters growth of Daily Active Users (DAU’s) and the stock finished $23.20 -1.54 (6.2%). This afternoon’s numbers were better, but MSFT, which beat, disappointed the market by not “blowing away” the numbers after its recent rise and after a brief move up to just over $212, fell back to $204.51 and the last is $207.30 -4.55. The same was true for CMG, which has doubled since the March lows also beat but after a move to $1193 it too fell back, to 1140 before working its way back to $1167.50 -17.06. Whirlpool (WHR) went the other way with a beat of both earnings and revenues and after finishing the day $146.89 +3.13 ran all the way to 162 before falling back to $152.50 +5.61 for a gain on the day of almost $9.00. And TESLA (TSLA) beat on all metrics and after closing $1592 +24, moved to $1716 before it came back in and finished the day $1657 +$65. The numbers were impressive, especially the cash on hand and the 4th Quarter of earnings, but the most impressive point is that it now qualifies for the S&P 500 index with an 8% weighting. FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN was LOWER with TSN -.29, BGS -.19, FLO -.29, CPB -50, CAG +.17, MDLZ +.51, KHC +.37, CALM -.07, JJSF +.53, SAFM -4.93, HRL _.,03, SJM +1.03, PPC -.08, KR +.37, and PBJ $33.01+.15 (.44%).

Oil was lower in last night’s trading before we rallied in the morning. I mentioned in last night’s charts with comments section in the Weekly Strategies letter, that it is a toss-up for a move in either direction. The stocks were MIXED with XLE $37.79 -.47 (1.23%). GOLD $1,865.10 +21.20. It was a continuation rally and a new recovery high of $1,871. I have only the NEM August 65 / 70 spread on in the Gold market. The spread was put on at $1.30 and finished the day @ $1.83. BITCOIN: closed $9,425 +30. After trading back to 8985 we rallied back to close – only $5. Since last week we have closed between 9200 – 92.85 every day with narrow ranges and today was a good start to move higher. A break over 10,000 still sends us higher. We added 350 shares of GBTC @ $10.02 to our position of 400 @ $8.06, bringing our average price to $8.97. GBTC closed $10.10 +.23 today. Tomorrow is another day. CAM
Recommendations: Samourai vs. Wasabi & Q's about privacy and security
This is a little long-winded but bear with me. I have Exodus(Wallet 1) where I put what I buy directly from the exchange. From here I want to transfer to Samourai or Wasabi (Wallet 2, jst one of the two) to "clean" my coins with Coinjoin or Whirpool. The thing is, 1- Is it smart to create another "normal exodus account" (Wallet 3) to transfer everything from Wallet 1 into? - my reasoning behind this is because Wallet 1 is linked directly to the exchange and I don't want the exchange knowing where my coins go(if its possible), so I want to create an additional path from Wallet 1 before Wallet 2. Once "cleaned" I want to transfer back into Wallet 3 so I can then transfer into Ledger (Wallet 4), and 2 other exchanges for trading (Wallet 5, Wallet 6). 2 - Should I have an additional exodus wallet (Wallet 7) for only "cleaned coins" to then transfer out? I plan on using this "path" to clean my profits from trading accounts and purchases directly from the exchange to put into Wallet 4. Out of Wasabi wallet and Samourai wallet, 3 - Which of the two have offered a better experience? 4 - Is there a minimum amount to be able to coinjoin or use whirlpool? 5 - What steps are you all taking to protect your privacy and security when dealing with crypto? 6 - Since Coinbase is in bed with the DEA and IRS, what exchanges are recommended? 7 - Being in the U.S., is it "generally safe" to purchase crypto with credit card from a non-KYC exchange? - I don't want my bank account to close because I'm doing business with these companies. (I sent bitcoin to trading exchanges to make my purchases so I wouldn't buy with my credit card) Much appreciated for the help Edit: 8 - Is there a ERC20 version of Wasabi Wallet?
For Trading January 28th CORONA VIRUS CRUSH Massive “Quarantined” Worst Day Since October Join Us Every Day, Link Below Today’s market started off lower on Coronavirus concerns and by 9:45 we had made the low of the day -549. The semiconductor (SMH, index we were short) was one of the hardest hit index. While all the markets rallied, they also had a late move lower and the DJIA was -453.93 (1.57%), NASDAQ -175.60 (1.89%), S&P 500 -51.84 (1.57%), the Russell -18.09 (1.09%) and the DJ Transports, the biggest loser -263.99 (2.39%). It was a day dominated by the Coronavirus and reports of the growing number of deaths and of those affected. Personally, I don’t believe the current numbers and I think that when all is said and done, the real numbers will be 8 or 10 times what we’re hearing now. We had a position in the SMH puts, bought at $ .75 on Friday morning and then had to sell half 2 hours later on the 100% Up Rule, and sold the balance at prices between $3.95-$4.20. Market internals never really recovered in any significant way and finished roughly 3.5:1 on both the DJIA and the NAZ. NYSE volume was closer to 6:1 negative. The DJIA was 5:1 negative with the biggest losers AAPL-64, UNH -60, BA -44 and GS -30 DPs. WMT -10DPs was the only double-digit gainer.

We went into the day with a put position in SMH that was originated Friday morning at $ .75, and we had to sell half @ $1.50 on our 100% Up Rule and today we sold them between $3.95 and $4.20. YTD is now +15.8%). Another group hurt by the virus is casinos.

Today’s action was a continued decline to $52.13 before a bounce up to close off the lows. The $52.00 area was support and we’ll have to see if it holds in the next few days. The stocks were LOWER with the XLE $55.27 -1.35 (2.38%). METALS, GOLD: $1,577.40 +5.50 after breaking out “of the box” earlier last week, and the Iran news, we traded as high as $1,613 before turning down. I bought the GLD calls after we traded down to my area of support around $1,545 and after the small consolidation started higher. We ran into some excessive supply at $1,588 and turning back today. We bought the GLD 2/149 calls @ $1.10 and they closed $1.89 today. BITCOIN: closed $8,995 +500. We broke to the upside today and managed a close on the highs. I now expect a test of $9,200 to $9,500. We own 750 GBTC with an average of $8.89. GBTC closed $9.85 + .37 today. Tomorrow is another day. CAM
AXC——Grasp the change of token market pattern of 2019
2017 is the most crazy year in the token market, and the price is so high that one coin is hard to get. However, such a good phenomenon has gradually declined in 2018 and even fluctuated and affected with the collapse of Bitcoin! At the same time, with the frequent problems of security risks arising from various countries’ token trading platform, these have caused a lot of negative impact on the token market! Many people have begun to panic about all kinds of tokens. In a flash, 2019 has come, can it become the turning point of the token market? And whether it can create a new opportunity for the coin circle and blockchain circle, time is the best witness! 2019 is a year that many people are optimistic about. Whether for the development of the token market or the regulation of the coin circle, we all think it is a new hope! After the token passing through one wave after another of great waves, it seems that there is the overall economic downturn, but neither the coin circle nor the blockchain circle is as scary as imagined. I can only say that ICO died in this baptism, but the token and blockchain did not die. I believe that after the clamour, everything will eventually return to the routine, and often the routine gives birth to value. Just as the once-noisy Internet did not fall completely after entering the "whirlpool of silence", a group of outstanding giants emerged, such as Google, Amazon and Yahoo. Therefore, the development of the token is still with full of expectations! AXC is a leader born in the downturn of the token market! AXC is based on the fourth-generation blockchain technology and has reached a new level in the development of the industry. Relying on the world-leading AtoX public blockchain system, the atomic cross-exchange technology is realized, and the security protocol for value exchange between different blockchains can be completed. The lightning network technology can be realized, and an infinite high-speed transaction can be realized on one blockchain; The technology of first entering database and then consensus is realized, the transaction of the database table is pre-executed in the database, and then sent to the blockchain network for consensus. Unlike Bitcoin's “mining” issuance mechanism, AXC uses the manner of delivery and purchase. AXC has the role of preventing malicious attacks and exchange media in AtoX. AtoX requires each account to have a certain amount of AXC. Each time a transaction is executed, 1/100000 of AXC will be destroyed, which will increase the cost of the transaction to create massive false account for malicious attacks and prevent malicious attacks. In addition, any currency can be exchanged with AXC, and AXC has become a medium of exchange between currencies. In cross-border settlement applications, the AtoX network enables multi-currency cross-border payments through market maker mechanisms or AXC. Under the market maker mechanism, the market maker provides the currency exchange service for cross-border transfer through the account opened in the receiving and paying bank. AtoX will automatically select the lowest quotation among the many market makers in the network to minimize the cost of capital conversion. In addition, AXC as a medium currency, when the parties to the payment can not find a suitable market maker to complete the transaction, the currency can be converted into AXC for transaction, and the instant transfer can be realized. In 2019, there will be a new pattern in the token market, and AXC is a new hope for the majority of users to seize the opportunity of wealth！

ECOL breaks the doubts of value, the dual integration of blockchain and digital assets
Since Bitcoin has ignited a huge whirlpool in the financial market, its underlying technology blockchain has gradually become known to the public, and huge value has been continuously discovered. But for the relationship between blockchain technology and digital currency, a large part of people are still ignorant. In recent years, the concept of blockchain has become the most popular investment target in the world. However, the blockchain is different from the digital currency. The blockchain is a technology development tool. The digital currency generated based on the underlying technology of the blockchain is essentially a kind of integral, the blockchain is the original, the digital asset is the end, and the investment is actually The value varies widely. At present, most of the blockchain projects are not divided into the beginning. The token project with the blockchain concept is mixed into the scam of issuing digital currency. Such a layer of exposed scams not only disturbs the public's sight, but also It is the value of the relationship between the blockchain and the digital currency. https://preview.redd.it/asissfq9ywr11.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3621dd9003a9f0dd8ea1c1c6b4a5407ccf26805 Digital assets based on the underlying technology of blockchain certainly have certain value in themselves, but this value is built in the practical application of the real economy and the product of integration with the real economy. But at present, the "reward points" of digital currency have already fallen into a devastating financial bubble. Therefore, blockchain technology development and token projects have taken a different approach, and began to unify blockchain technology and digital asset applications, gradually unifying their value development. In this endless stream of innovative technologies, ECOL is second to none. ECOL is the cornerstone of improving blockchain technology and making it efficient and intelligent. It is also a basic equivalent and a universal token for repeated value confirmation, circulation and trading in the blockchain field. The first layer of ECOL is the smallest unit of the blockchain world—the cornerstone of the block, just like the atoms, molecules, quarks, and quantum of the physical world. The second meaning is the financial token measurement unit that constructs the assets and interests of the blockchain domain, such as the meaning of RMB 1, 1 and USD 1 in real life. https://preview.redd.it/eg0fk9naywr11.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=988ea74f9cf193c85a168ab96755c0e33fc744b6 ECOL is a dual-quantity unit of block structure and digital assets. It has standardized and standardized characteristics, and arranges, combines, interconnects, interconnects, communicates, suspends, and forms all the states and visions of the blockchain world. The development of the blockchain world is a evolutionary evolution from blockchain to blockchain, from block to block network, from block network to block, from block to multi-object process. At the same time, it has great significance in unifying block structure and digital asset valuation, integrating blockchain technology and application value of digital assets. It enables the public to understand the blockchain concepts and technologies from the touch of digital currency and its economic application, and builds the ecological value circle of the era on the basis of their full integration and assistance.

Good morning traders of the StockMarket sub! Happy Thursday to everyone. Here are your stock market movers & news on this Thursday, July the 27th, 2017-
Comcast – The NBCUniversal parent reported second-quarter profit of 52 cents per share, 4 cents above estimates, with revenue also beating forecasts. The biggest jump in revenue came from the company's film unit, with a nearly 60 percent increase over a year earlier.
Twitter – Twitter reported adjusted quarterly profit of 12 cents per share, 7 cents above estimates, while revenue was above analyst forecasts as well. However, user numbers were flat compared to expectations for some growth
Verizon – Verizon matched forecasts with adjusted quarterly profit of 96 cents per share, although revenue beat. Verizon added 633,000 wireless retail customers during the quarter.
Procter & Gamble – The consumer products giant reported adjusted quarterly profit of 85 cents per share, beating estimates of 78 cents, with revenue slightly above forecasts. The bottom line was helped by cost cutting measures.
Southwest Airlines – The airline reported adjusted quarterly profit of $1.24 per share, 4 cents above estimates, while revenue also beat forecasts on an improved fare environment and a record load factor.
Dunkin' Brands – The restaurant operator came in 2 cents above estimates with adjusted quarterly profit of 64 cents per share, though revenue was below forecasts. It also gave a full-year forecast that falls largely below analyst projections. Results were hurt by a sales decline at the company's Baskin-Robbins business.
Facebook – Facebook reported quarterly earnings of $1.32 per share, 19 cents above estimates, with the social media giant's revenue also beating forecasts. Facebook's results were boosted by greater advertising revenue for its mobile app.
Gilead Sciences – Gilead beat estimates by 41 cents with adjusted quarterly profit of $2.56 per share, and the drugmaker's revenue easily surpassed estimates. Sales of its hepatitis C drugs did decline, but came in above Street forecasts as well. Gilead raised its full-year sales outlook.
PayPal – PayPal came in 3 cents ahead of estimates with adjusted quarterly profit of 46 cents per share, with revenue scoring a slight beat. The digital payments provider also raised its full-year guidance as the number of users and transaction volumes increase.
Buffalo Wild Wings – The company fell well short of the $1.05 consensus EPS estimate for its latest quarter with adjusted profit of 66 cents per share, and the restaurant chain's revenue missed as well. The company cited high chicken wing costs, increased operating expenses, and lower than expected same-store sales.
Discover Financial – Discover reported quarterly profit of $1.40 per share, 5 cents below estimates, although the credit card provider did see revenue come in very slightly above forecasts. Discover saw a jump in loans and deposits, but also saw credit card delinquency rates rise.
Whirlpool – Whirlpool fell 19 cents short of consensus forecasts with adjusted quarterly profit of $3.35 per share, although the appliance maker's revenue was in line with estimates. Whirlpool's results were hurt by a decline in the Europe, Middle East & Africa region, as well as currency issues. The company also lowered its full-year earnings guidance.
HP Inc. – HP announced the Hewlett-Packard Enterprise CEO Meg Whitman has stepped down from the computer and printer maker's board of directors. Whitman had been chair of HP since the company and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise were split from the former Hewlett-Packard in late 2015.
AstraZeneca – The drugmaker's shares remained pressured after an experimental treatment for advanced lung cancer failed to help patients as much as expected in a trial.
Royal Dutch Shell – Shell reported that its second-quarter profit more than tripled from a year ago, as oil prices rose and its refining operations performed well.
Anheuser-Busch InBev – Anheuser-Busch saw profits rise over a year ago, although they fell slightly shy of analyst forecasts. The beer brewer's bottom line was helped by improved sales in China, Mexico, and South Africa.
McDonald's – McDonald's issued a statement in China reassuring customers about the safety and cleanliness of its ice cream machines. That came in response to U.S. reports and pictures allegedly showing a mold-covered ice cream maker at a restaurant.
Amazon.com – Amazon launched its Prime Now two-hour delivery service in Singapore, taking on rival Alibaba head-on in that market. Separately, Amazon has started a secret project aimed at opportunities in health care including electronic medical records and so-called "telemedicine."
Discovery Communications — Discovery is now in the lead to buy Scripps Networks according to multiple reports, which say Viacom is now out of the running.
Diageo – Diageo reported improved earnings and raised its profit margin targets, after the spirits maker saw sales growth across all its major global markets.
Watching Wall Street boast its best start to a year in over a decade, investors are turning their focus to the fourth quarter earnings season, with results beginning to trickle in this week. Traders are focusing on the recent U.S. tax overhaul, which could provide breathtaking numbers, but it will not affect stock prices much. ECONOMIES German factory orders in Europe's biggest economy slipped by 0.4% in November after three months of gains. The dip was largely due to fluctuations in bulk orders but the overall trend remains positive. China's forex reserves posted an eleventh straight monthly increase in December, $20.7B, taking the full-year increase of the world's largest foreign-currency stockpile to $129B. The FED should raise interest rates three times this year, given the already strong economy will get a boost from tax cuts. ARAMCO’s 5% IS FOR SALE Aligning its strategy with peers, Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX), CEO Ben van Beurden said that growth of competitor Shell's (RDS.A) oil and gas operations in the next decade will depend on shale production.

Saudi Arabia seeks to sell as much as 5% of Aramco. CRYPTO The SEC has received a request to allow five bitcoin-related ETFs to be listed on Arca, a secondary marketplace on the NYSE.

Watching Wall Street boast its best start to a year in over a decade, investors are turning their focus to the fourth quarter earnings season, with results beginning to trickle in this week. Traders are focusing on the recent U.S. tax overhaul, which could provide breathtaking numbers, but it will not affect stock prices much. ECONOMIES German factory orders in Europe's biggest economy slipped by 0.4% in November after three months of gains. The dip was largely due to fluctuations in bulk orders but the overall trend remains positive. China's forex reserves posted an eleventh straight monthly increase in December, $20.7B, taking the full-year increase of the world's largest foreign-currency stockpile to $129B. The FED should raise interest rates three times this year, given the already strong economy will get a boost from tax cuts. ARAMCO’s 5% IS FOR SALE Aligning its strategy with peers, Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX), CEO Ben van Beurden said that growth of competitor Shell's (RDS.A) oil and gas operations in the next decade will depend on shale production.

Comcast – The NBCUniversal parent reported second-quarter profit of 52 cents per share, 4 cents above estimates, with revenue also beating forecasts. The biggest jump in revenue came from the company's film unit, with a nearly 60 percent increase over a year earlier.
Twitter – Twitter reported adjusted quarterly profit of 12 cents per share, 7 cents above estimates, while revenue was above analyst forecasts as well. However, user numbers were flat compared to expectations for some growth
Verizon – Verizon matched forecasts with adjusted quarterly profit of 96 cents per share, although revenue beat. Verizon added 633,000 wireless retail customers during the quarter.
Procter & Gamble – The consumer products giant reported adjusted quarterly profit of 85 cents per share, beating estimates of 78 cents, with revenue slightly above forecasts. The bottom line was helped by cost cutting measures.
Southwest Airlines – The airline reported adjusted quarterly profit of $1.24 per share, 4 cents above estimates, while revenue also beat forecasts on an improved fare environment and a record load factor.
Dunkin' Brands – The restaurant operator came in 2 cents above estimates with adjusted quarterly profit of 64 cents per share, though revenue was below forecasts. It also gave a full-year forecast that falls largely below analyst projections. Results were hurt by a sales decline at the company's Baskin-Robbins business.
Facebook – Facebook reported quarterly earnings of $1.32 per share, 19 cents above estimates, with the social media giant's revenue also beating forecasts. Facebook's results were boosted by greater advertising revenue for its mobile app.
Gilead Sciences – Gilead beat estimates by 41 cents with adjusted quarterly profit of $2.56 per share, and the drugmaker's revenue easily surpassed estimates. Sales of its hepatitis C drugs did decline, but came in above Street forecasts as well. Gilead raised its full-year sales outlook.
PayPal – PayPal came in 3 cents ahead of estimates with adjusted quarterly profit of 46 cents per share, with revenue scoring a slight beat. The digital payments provider also raised its full-year guidance as the number of users and transaction volumes increase.
Buffalo Wild Wings – The company fell well short of the $1.05 consensus EPS estimate for its latest quarter with adjusted profit of 66 cents per share, and the restaurant chain's revenue missed as well. The company cited high chicken wing costs, increased operating expenses, and lower than expected same-store sales.
Discover Financial – Discover reported quarterly profit of $1.40 per share, 5 cents below estimates, although the credit card provider did see revenue come in very slightly above forecasts. Discover saw a jump in loans and deposits, but also saw credit card delinquency rates rise.
Whirlpool – Whirlpool fell 19 cents short of consensus forecasts with adjusted quarterly profit of $3.35 per share, although the appliance maker's revenue was in line with estimates. Whirlpool's results were hurt by a decline in the Europe, Middle East & Africa region, as well as currency issues. The company also lowered its full-year earnings guidance.
HP Inc. – HP announced the Hewlett-Packard Enterprise CEO Meg Whitman has stepped down from the computer and printer maker's board of directors. Whitman had been chair of HP since the company and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise were split from the former Hewlett-Packard in late 2015.
AstraZeneca – The drugmaker's shares remained pressured after an experimental treatment for advanced lung cancer failed to help patients as much as expected in a trial.
Royal Dutch Shell – Shell reported that its second-quarter profit more than tripled from a year ago, as oil prices rose and its refining operations performed well.
Anheuser-Busch InBev – Anheuser-Busch saw profits rise over a year ago, although they fell slightly shy of analyst forecasts. The beer brewer's bottom line was helped by improved sales in China, Mexico, and South Africa.
McDonald's – McDonald's issued a statement in China reassuring customers about the safety and cleanliness of its ice cream machines. That came in response to U.S. reports and pictures allegedly showing a mold-covered ice cream maker at a restaurant.
Amazon.com – Amazon launched its Prime Now two-hour delivery service in Singapore, taking on rival Alibaba head-on in that market. Separately, Amazon has started a secret project aimed at opportunities in health care including electronic medical records and so-called "telemedicine."
Discovery Communications — Discovery is now in the lead to buy Scripps Networks according to multiple reports, which say Viacom is now out of the running.
Diageo – Diageo reported improved earnings and raised its profit margin targets, after the spirits maker saw sales growth across all its major global markets.

Comparing Bitcoin to Western Union, Currency Fair and Commonwealth Bank when sending money overseas.
Edit: Redoing the calculations after user yugegb pointed out an error in my calculations - turns out using bitcoin-central was only $3 more expensive than the cheapest alternative. I recently posted this at http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2100981&p=113#r2242 Having seen http://www.reddit.com/Bitcoin/comments/208smd/bitcoin_surpasses_western_union_in_daily/ this afternoon reminded me of this test. An Experiment: Sending money overseas via different methods. Hi All :) I decided to sit down and try to actually use Bitcoin for international payments. Here are the results.. Aim: Send 364.33 Euros to my partner in Ireland. Options: Paypal, Commonwealth Bank, Bitcoin-Central, Bitstamp, CurrencyFair#, WesternUnion% Additional: Bitcoins Purchased via CoinJar.

Bitcoin is actually competitive! '# User 'demod' suggested CurrencyFair after I did this assessment – I have not tested this service. Calculation 5 hours beyond initial test.

HTMLCOIN [HTML5] GAINING GROUND By Robert Tigers [CryptoCat] HTMLCOIN [HTML5] has since it's inception faced challenges and struggles early on in the markets, right from the beginning massive BTC sell walls were put up and have never budged which seems to indicate that there are those in the BTC community that do fear the grassroots organic nature of HTMLCOIN [HTML5]... Hence the reason why HTMLCOIN [HTML5] did the only thing it could and created healthy, strong relationships with other markets in particular LTC and DOGE that are not as stingy as the BTC market and they are seeing record breaking increases in trade… . HTMLCOIN [HTML5] has also addressed some of it's early weaknesses and vulnerabilities and now is a very secure, reliable and flexible cryptocurrency with lightning fast transactions since upgrading it's algorithm to X15 IMPROVE... . HTMLCOIN [HTML5] is one of the most enduring, hardest working cryptocoins on the market today and hat's off to the community for sticking it out and making things happen... As far as the BTC community is concerned it needs to loosen up a bit and stop trying to control the markets to it's benefit, it is monopolistic behavior to say the least and if it continues to show favoritism in the markets maybe altcoins should be looking for more user friendly base currencies to trade with... Everyone is talking about HTMLCOIN [HTML5] and taking notice since switching up its algorithm to an ASIC resistant [X15 IMPROVE] 15 ROUNDS OF SCIENTIFIC HASHING (blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, echo, hamsi, fugue, shabal, whirlpool)... HTMLCOIN [HTML5] is based on a stable system, designed to withstand the demands of the entire altcoin community. The new algorithm is based on X15 POW + POS (After 5 years HTML5 will be POS)... This new algorithm is design to be adoptable for future applications. HTML5 has a stable & fast system, with robust security capabilities... HTML5 has also achieved the status of becoming a base cryptocurrency… 1) HTML5 is now one of the base currencies of Bleutrade.Com. Meaning they are one among the main currencies being traded everyday (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, HTMLCOIN & US Dollar). A significant achievement!! 2) Another equally important development is that Cointopay is enabling everyone to implement application that accept htmlcoin. Games, Goods, Services and websites, you name it! HTML5 has also become a trailblazer and a leader in cryptocoin transparency... The HTMLCOIN Core Team is happy to have introduced its Ledger of Expenses to show the community how they appropriated the “extra” HTMLCOIN coins left over from the transition to HTML5. The HTML5 community has succeeded in expanding over the past 6 months because they made sure that vital needs were met and necessary expenses were covered so that proper infrastructures could be implemented...
