🗞 Indian Exchange Takes Central Bank to Court Over Bank Ban

The Indian bitcoin community keeps fighting for their rights to operate freely in the country like any other industry. The latest show of defiance is a petition to the court against the actions of the Reserve Bank of India by the operators of a local exchange.

🗞 NASA Funds Development Of Autonomous Spacecraft That Uses Blockchain

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a new grant that supports the development of an autonomous spacecraft that could make decisions using Blockchain technology without human intervention, news outlet Space.com reported April 18.

"In this project, the Ethereum Blockchain technology will be exploited to develop a decentralized, secure, and cognitive networking and computing infrastructure for deep space exploration… I hope to develop technology that can recognize environmental threats and avoid them, as well as complete a number of tasks automatically. I am honored that NASA recognized my work, and I am excited to continue challenging technology's ability to think and do on its own."

🗞 Bank of Japan Turns Back on State-Issued Cryptocurrency

The Bank of Japan has become the latest government financial institution to recognize the risks of state-issued cryptocurrencies. According to its Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya, a national digital coin may jeopardize the traditional financial system established in developed countries. The Japanese central bank has no plans to issue its own crypto, he said.

🗞 Kraken CEO: Crypto Exchange Won't Answer New York AG's Inquiry

Kraken was one of 13 exchanges that received a letter from New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Tuesday as part of his new inquiry into cryptocurrency exchanges, as previously reported. While most exchanges generally welcomed the inquiry and said they would fill out the attached questionnaire, Kraken took a different tack when reached for comment.

Powell made it clear that Kraken does not intend to answer the questionnaire, saying:

"I realized that we made the wise decision to get the hell out of New York three years ago and that we can dodge this bullet."

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

We had so nice moves these last hours for the Steem. So we did a Break Out from the triangle in green that I drew you yesterday. As you can see yourself, most of the time, triangle are giving nice Break Out.

The Break Out allowed us to go directly break also the resistance line in orange that we tested already 2 previous times this week. Now that this line is broken, we have a nice UP continuation and the next little resistance line to break is around 3.05$.

If we can break that line, we could go quickly test the previous top around 3.50$.

I've only been in the cryptocurrency space for about 4 months now and always looking to stay updated on what's going on. Now if I can learn how to buy some steem I will be happy.
