​​Daily Bitcoin chart review 📈

BTC bounce to ~9200-9300 done. Hit 9306. There is still open zone up till ~9450 that also should attract the price. But so far volume ain't coming from bulls, so this may turn out into bear flag and drag price back down to 9055 / 8920 and eventually lower, if none of above supports won't hold. Target for bear flag breakdown - 8500-8600. If that bounce won't give volume, in one more week to ~7630.

22/05 post: Today we may expect it to bounce back to previously broken SR at ~9200-9300
21/05 post: (if) 9200 support break down and price drops to the next support levels at 9100 / 8900

Resistance: 9250 - 9444 - 9650
Support: 9055 - 8900 - 8730 - 8630

​​Binance supports the Steem hard fork which freezes $5M in user funds.

CZ's statement:

“We are very much against zeroing other people’s assets on the blockchain. This goes against the very ethos of blockchain and decentralization. The fact that this can happen on a blockchain means it is overly centralized.”

“If we don’t support it (technically), no users can withdraw any STEEM coins. The wallet stopped syncing at a certain height, and there are no other forks.”

"In this case, I would almost encourage the community to create a new fork, especially given that the few victims involved seem to have the capability to create forks."

Binance also plans to reduce STEEM trading pairs from the current 3 pairs down to 1 pair over the next two months.

​​South Africa Leads Crypto Revolution In Africa – Challenges Spur And Slow Adoption

Africans rank atop global cryptocurrency ownership rates, according to a new report by Arcade Research. South Africa ranks third globally with 13% of its internet users owning or using cryptocurrencies, while 11% of connected Nigerians own cryptocurrencies in the fifth-placed populous West African country.

Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, and Ghana are listed in the report among the top 10 countries where “cryptocurrency” is most searched on Google. Economic challenges work both ways, as the digital divide slows the adoption of cryptocurrency while high financial fees make virtual currencies an attractive alternative.

Africa also has some of the world’s most inflationary economies where fiscal indiscipline and controversial monetary policies sometimes erode citizens’ savings overnight. Apart from governments’ heavy hand, external factors such as sanctions and conflict also threaten savings, making cryptocurrency a less exposed investment.

Sub-Saharan Africa records $48 billion remittances annually but transaction fees go as high as 9%, while some mobile payment transfer services charge around 11%. Cryptocurrency use is also a way to undercut the disadvantages of centralization while eliminating high remittances cost.

Arcane Research notes lack of infrastructures such as crypto mining operations, supporting merchants, smartphone penetration, and internet connectivity as slowing the uptake of cryptocurrencies. With rural-majority populations in some countries, significant swaths of the continent are not electrified, limiting the reach of bitcoin and other digital assets. .

According to the report, lack of policy clarity, with close to 60% of African governments yet to announce their positions on cryptocurrencies, slows down adoption.

“Africa is one of, if not the most promising region for the adoption of cryptocurrencies,” - said the report.

“This is due to its unique combination of economic and demographic trends. While the overall adoption is relatively low, the potential is enormous, the growth is rapid, and the development is likely to become defining for the cryptocurrency industry going forward,” it added.
