1. We are going to check in with the growth of the Lightning network
2. We are going to get some good news from South Korea so our friends over there can get back to cryptocurrency trading

Today’s stats.
The network capacity grew by 42% in the last 24 hours.
https://fork.lol/tx/fee
Bitcoin fees are also dropping and sit at 154 satoshis per byte over the last 24 hours.
http://segwit.party/charts/
Oddly enough Segwit has dropped below 10% of transactions today having hovered between 10 and 12% over the last week.
**Story - Great News For Korean Crypto** 2:56
https://news.bitcoin.com/korean-crypto-exchanges-share-data-with-banks-new-account-system/
Rather than an effort to outright ban crypto trading, South Korean authorities seem more interested in making sure that trading isn’t done anonymously.
I have no doubt that crypto trading volumes from Korea have dipped recently and been a factor contributing to the falling prices.
Anyway, the South Korean government has come forward with the names of six major banks that are willing to provide services to cryptocurrency exchanges.
The catch is that the exchange will have to share data about their users.
This includes both personal details and transaction details.
So the name on the bank account will have to match the name on the cryptocurrency exchange account to prevent anonymous trading.
Because this name matching is required, that’s why the exchanges have to share data with the banks.
It says here this new system will be in place by the 30th of January but there’s a possibility some of them may have it up and running before then.
The benefit to the government is also that they can make sure all the crypto activity in Korea is taxed.
If they can’t get your crypto trading information from the exchange, they can get it by going through your bank.
**Story - New Version Of Ethereum Yellow Paper** 5:45

1:22 Story - Bitcoin dips below $8k on news that Twitter will ban crypto ads starting tomorrow
https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/26/17164426/crypto-twitter-ban-bitcoin-cryptocurrency-ads
[red]
They say this follows Facebook and Google however, Twitter is banning ads as of tomorrow while Google did give a future date when the ban would come into effect, which I’d argue is more responsible.
It says in the 2nd paragraph here:
“The advertising of ICOS and token sales will be prohibited.”
That’s very specific. My question is where does that leave Dash who are running online ad campaigns if you haven’t seen them already.
And where does that leave me and Cryptoversity that sell courses?
I know I’m not allowed to advertise on Facebook or Google because they banned crypto ads outright, where as Twitter are taking aim at token sales.
The only real way to know is to keep an eye on our Twitter feeds and see what crypto ads are still running after tomorrow.

3:52 Story - The Monereo community sends a clear message that big miners should go elsewhere
https://verifiedtopics.com/the-crypto-kill-switch-monero-is-going-to-war-against-big-miners/
Let me summarise this story for you in a few bullet points:
Bitmain launched a new specialised ASIC miner called the X3 which works on the CryptoNite algorithm that Monero uses
The Monereo community responded by saying no thank you, we’re going to make a few changes to our mining algorithm so the X3 doesn’t work anymore
Oh and we’re going to make chances twice a year to make sure any money you invest updating the hardware goes completely down the toilet
The Monereo community wants to keep Monero mining within reach of the average user with a decent amount of computing power
The downside to this approach is that it also means that malware can infect your browser, borrow your processing power to mine Monero in the background and then have the coins you mine deposited into the attackers wallet
So with the best of intentions there are some down sides.

Today I talk about an $11,000 BTC and some price analysis:
1. The over extension from moving averages
2. The RSI being overbought
3. The fib levels to spot possible pullback points
If you did want to take some profit, I often use Uphold.com. I talk about:
1. How to add cards
2. How to send and receive from cards including back to bank account
3. Uphold reserves and transparency (not exactly rock solid but you don’t have to store fiat funds on there). This is slower but safer, your choice.

On today's episode of The Cryptoverse:
Although there isn't a timeline yet, ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin today suggested that the platform's developers may have to hard fork to once again solve pressing network problems. If pursued, the move would come less than three months after ethereum last executed a hard fork in a controversial bid to return funds to investors in The DAO.
