1:07 Story - Some Good News For LiteCoin
https://www.abra.com/blog/decentralized-investment-platform/
Abra started out life as an international remittance app and has now expanded well beyond that.
Here’s a quote from their official release:
“Today, Abra announced a new version of our smartphone app and exchange service, which enables investing in 20 cryptocurrencies and 50 fiat currencies as well as the real-time exchange across all 70 currencies. This is the first time a platform is offering 20 cryptocurrencies plus 50 fiat currencies in a single wallet with real-time exchange across all 70 and no third party custodian.”
One of the most popular questions I get asked is, which wallet can I use that supports all my cryptocurrencies?
The answer to that is often none of them, which is why people have a big incentive to keep all their money on an exchange, because that effectively acts like one big, multi currency wallet.
Anyway the good news for LiteCoin is that it has been chosen as the primary asset class for this new investing platform.
Basically Abra are going to create digital representations of fiat currencies like USD, EUR, JPY, KRW etc. and base it all on multi-sig LiteCoin transactions.
This ultimately means a new wave of demand for LiteCoin which should result in upward price pressure, all things being equal.
For as one reddit user put it
“LiteCoin is no longer on exchanges, the exchanges are now on LiteCoin.”
If you take a look at https://btc.com/ for example, you’ll see the demand for Bitcoin transactions is the lowest I’ve seen it in a while with….
3:14 Story - A New Way To Earn Bitcoin Cash
https://medium.com/@JoyStream/joystream-is-going-live-on-bitcoin-cash-c005551ba0df
JoyStream is something I haven’t talked about in about a year.
Their idea is to take file sharing via bitTorrent and incentivise more people to host the files and speed up the whole network.
I think it is a genius idea but the last time I tried the software was like a year ago and it was very early.
Today’s announcement is that they have a new version to try that makes use of Bitcoin Cash. They give their reasons for this in their announcement post.
So if you have an internet connection with some idle bandwidth, why not host some torrent files and get paid for hosting them.

Story - Coinbase adds support for Bitcoin Cash 0:57
https://blog.coinbase.com/buy-sell-send-and-receive-bitcoin-cash-on-coinbase-65f1b2c7214b
In the early hours of this morning in the UK, Coinbase posted this on their blog.
This means 3 things.
https://www.coinbase.com/dashboard
1, if you held Bitcoin in your Coinbase account on the 1st of August 2017, you’ll now have the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Cash in your Coinbase wallet.
2, you can now buy Bitcoin Cash with a credit or debit card using the Coinbase Instant Buy feature.
3, Bitcoin Cash will begin trading on the Coinbase GDAX exchange.
The blog post says this will happen as soon as the order books fill up.
Well, the market did open and begin trading and we can see here:
https://www.gdax.com/trade/BCH-USD
However, trading was quickly halted and is still offline at this moment in time. When I say quickly, I mean the market traded for 4 minutes before being locked.
According to the GDAX status page here:
https://status.gdax.com/
Trading will resume at 9am PST today the 20th of December, which is about 6 hours from the time I’m recording this.
Looking at the trade history down the right of GDAX, the last price Bitcoin Cash traded for was $9,500.
The result of this news was that Bitcoin Cash rallied hard on other exchanges, gaining about 50% and hitting a high on Bitfinex of $3,676.
In a broader sense this has more far reaching implications than the price.
Coinbase is the number 1 destination for people who are new to Bitcoin and want to buy some in the easiest way possible.
This news means there is now a new major onramp from the fiat currency world into Bitcoin Cash.
I’m not saying I’m pro-Bitcoin or pro-Bitcoin Cash, what I am is pro choice…
That’s in the philosophical sense rather than the political sense.
I say let the market decide which Bitcoin they want, but in order for people to choose, they have to be able to make the choice.
So that it’s as easy to buy Bitcoin as Bitcoin Cash, we can stand back and see what choices people make.
Story - Charlie Lee Sells All His LiteCoin 4:55
https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/7kzw6q/litecoin_price_tweets_and_conflict_of_interest/
Charlie Lee in this Reddit post from just a few hours ago said he had just sold or donated all of his LiteCoin.
The major reason he has gone this is so that he and everyone else can be absolutely sure that he can guide the development of LiteCoin objectively.
He said whenever he would Tweet about LiteCoins price or LiteCoin news, he would get accused of doing so for personal benefit.
Ultimately he says it’s a conflict of interest for him to hold LiteCoin and tweet about it since he has so much influence, being the creator and all.
He says now he no longer holds any LiteCoin it��
