Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up 2 May 2018
What's happening in cryptocurrency?
Ethereum judgment day and sharding, Coinbase OTC, Ripple ripped, twin price bumps and Ripple price analysis.
1. 7 May: Judgment Day
But with nary a Schwarzenegger or horseman in sight, and correspondingly less exciting.
SEC proceedings on 7 May could break Ethereum's back. But won't.
2. Coinbase has a new fishing rod
This one might be big enough to catch some whales.
A new OTC counter and brush-up of GDAX show its ongoing upgrades.
3. "What did the blockchain ever do for us?"
"Drastically reduced cross-border payment costs? More efficient settlement of insurance contracts? Cryptokitties?"
"Hmph. But other than that, what did blockchain ever do for us?"
4. Two baby bumps? Must be twins
5. This is your Ethereum
And this is your Ethereum on sharding.
Any questions?
