[WRFX]
Great find. Judging by the 14-day ADX WRFX is a strong buy, because this is a top down analysis that investors use to stay a head of the game. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 0-100, apparently WRFX at 37.88 by ADX. But the flip side is that the stock could go in either direction, they don't know. However, the news coming out by WRFX support an upward trend. Bottomline, WRFX is a strong buy in my opinion, Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) would look good for this stock. GO WRFX.
[WRFX][/t] Don't wake me up if this is a dream.... Cause all I see is $$$$
[GAHC][/t] It's risky, but I'm still holding. Long and Strong.
[GAHC][MSFT] I wonder why Blockchain technology in the US is so low key on bigger corporations radar. Don''t they know if they don't covert to Blockchain technology they will be obsolete.

Services giant Accenture and technology powerhouse Microsoft have teamed up to build an unprecedented global digital ID program to provide legal identification to 1.1 billion people without documents around the world.

The two companies unveiled a prototype of the tool today at the United Nations headquarters in New York as a part of the ID2020 program. The public-private partnership consortium sees a unified approach of governments, technology giants and NGOs, among others, to provide a legal identity for everyone on the planet by the year 2020.
The blockchain prototype, built by Accenture in partnership with Microsoft, runs on the latter’s popular cloud computing platform, Azure.
David Treat, managing director of Accenture’s global blockchain business stated:
People without a documented identity suffer by being excluded from modern society. Our prototype is personal, private and portable, empowering individuals to access and share appropriate information when convenient without the worry of using or losing paper documentation.

When operational, the tool will enable individuals such as refugees who have fled their home country, to show their identity and where they came from, via an app on their phone. The app will allow individuals to share their identities following their direct consent.
A screenshot of the application, released by Accenture, can be found below:
In helping establish their identities, the ID2020 program aims to help individuals and refugees gain access to basic services including healthcare and education in a new land. Birth certificates and education certificates, both of which are traditionally recorded on paper, will also be digitized.
In comments reported by Reuters, Treat underlined digital identity as “a basic human right”, adding:
Without an identity, you can access education, financial services, healthcare, you name it. You are disenfranchised and marginalized from society.
The Tech
The prototype nor the final app will not store any personal details. All identifiable information “always resides ‘off chain’”, Accenture confirmed in a news release. Upon receiving consent to grant access to an individual’s information, the prototype app taps the off-chain system for the details. The two companies have been at work in developing the tool since 2016, primarily led by Accenture’s research hub in Ireland.
Notably, the prototype “uses the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance’s private, or “permissioned,” blockchain protocol.” Accenture and Microsoft are both founding members of the EEA, a cross-industry working group working toward developing enterprise solutions based on the Ethereum blockchain that took shape earlier this year.
Accenture has been providing pro bono services in consulting, digital services and project management as a partner for the United Nations’ Partnership for Refugees program. The services firm’s tech has also been put to use with the Biometric Identity Management System which sees some 1.3 million refugees enrolled in 29 countries from Asia, Africa and Central America.
Ultimately, the blockchain ID system is expected to support over 7 million refugees from 75 countries by the year 2020.

Bitcoin Needs Regulation to Boom: Morgan Stanley

Investment bank Morgan Stanley sees bitcoin to be dependent on governments’ acceptance to really take off, at a time when the cryptocurrency tripled its value since the turn of the year.

In a report titled 43-page whitepaper titled ‘Blockchain: Unchained?”, Morgan Stanley isn’t entirely clear on determining just why bitcoin has been soaring lately. The whitepaper, released Tuesday, was penned by Wall Street analyst James Faucette and his colleagues at Morgan Stanley who looked into the progression of bitcoin and blockchain technology over a 12-month period.
CCN was unable to get that report, for now. They aren’t distributed publicly. However, investment publication Barron’s and Bloomberg got to review it and highlighted some interesting takeaways from the whitepaper.
‘We’ve Been Getting Calls About Bitcoin’
“The rapid appreciation of cryptocurrencies has elicited many inbound phone calls to both our banks and tech teams,” the investment firm revealed.
In trying to figure out why bitcoin has gone meteoric of late, an excerpt from the report read:
Advertisement:
Possible explanations include investors in search of uncorrelated risk assets and technologists looking for incremental security. But government acceptance would be required for this to further accelerate, the price of which is regulation.
So, Morgan Stanley is striking a cautious note despite bitcoin’s recent booms. Regulation, and, by extension, the government’s acknowledgment is what’s needed for the cryptocurrency to really take off and hit the mainstream, according to the investment bank.
Looking into Price Factors
The authors cite Asia’s increasing appetite for bitcoin as a significant factor behind the cryptocurrency’s growth in value. “China. Up until the last few days, a disproportionate share of Bitcoin mining was taking place in China (where there is cheap access to servers and cheap electricity),” they noted, pointing to the crackdown led by China’s central bank this year to curb the outflow of money in China.
The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) has impacted bitcoin prices for much of Q1 2017, a time when China’s bitcoin trading market was the largest in the world. The central bank’s roundabout grip on bitcoin prices has waned in recent months and no longer holds the influence it once had.
“Bitcoin appreciation seems to have been heavily driven in recent months by increased buying from Korea and Japan,” the report read. “In Japan, the recent legalization of Bitcoin has led to an increase in activity, including the recent opening of new Bitcoin exchanges. In Korea, however, there is not a clear explanation for the surge.”
What about Ethereum and Ripple? The authors aren’t certain. It’s “Not clear why cryptocurrencies are appreciating so rapidly (apart from the appreciation itself drawing in more speculation against a potentially inefficient ability to sell).,” they wrote, adding: “Rapid appreciation of cryptocurrencies is encouraging speculative formation of new currencies.”
“No Use Cases for Digital Currencies”
“Many of these new currencies don’t actually have use cases yet, but are intended to be exchange mediums for everything from virtual goods in games to banking mechanisms for products like marijuana where legal implications are not yet fully clear,” they further wrote. “ICOs are funded with existing cryptocurrencies, hence driving an appreciation circle—e.g., to support/invest in a new currency, one must buy and trade an existing cryptocurrency.”
Blockchain Technology is “Lacking a Killer App”
Bitcoins’ runaway price tear aside, the cryptocurrency is the most visible, functional implementation of decentralization and blockchain technology. “Bitcoin is the well-known cybercurrency that bought all of this [blockchain technology] to our attention, said Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak during a recent public talk.
Despite bitcoin’s rise in prominence, the analysts and Morgan Stanley do not see a “killer app” for blockchain technology in finance.
“We are now firmly in the proof-of-concept phase of development,” they authors wrote.
They further added that regulators are involved in the blockchain space, keeping a keen and close eye on developments. Inexplicably, they added:
Some have suggested privacy could be improved. Regulators are looking to have a master key so all transactions are visible to them.
CCN will update this story upon acquiring the report.

Singapore’s central bank and the Association of Supervisors of Banks of the Americas (ASBA) are coming together to strengthen FinTech ties between Singapore and the Americas.
Get exclusive analysis of bitcoin and learn from our trading tutorials. Join Hacked.com for just $39 now.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country’s financial regulator and central bank, has entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ASBA, an organization that supervises and promotes banking practices in America with the aim to keep them up to international standards.
“FinTech is fundamentally about ideas and enterprise flowing between cities,” explained MAS FinTech chief Sopnendu Mohanty.
The MoU establishes a framework between the two authorities in their mutual interests in financial technologies. More specifically, the framework will see both authorities engage in joint innovation projects, particularly in blockchain technology and big data. Further, the MAS and the ABSA will also discuss and look into emerging FinTech trends.
“This MOU embodies MAS’ and ASBA’s resolve in accelerating the growth of FinTech in the respective regions, through increased collaboration and exchanges between our respective FinTech ecosystems,” Mohanty added.

The MAS is arguably the global trailblazer among central banks to successfully develop and test blockchain technology. Earlier this year, the island nation’s central bank announced the completion of an early phase its proof-of-concept interbank payments blockchain. More recently, details emerged that this blockchain was powered by a central bank-developed digital currency using Ethereum’s blockchain technology.
Other countries are taking notice and have made inroads toward establishing FinTech ties with Singapore, a country which they see as setting the precedent in researching and exploring new financial innovations. The likes of India, South Korea, Abu Dhabi, Japan, France and Switzerland, are all collaborating with Singapore’s central bank. The monetary authority’s partnership with the ASBA in the American continents represents its farthest partnership yet.
ASBA secretary general Rudy Araujo sees the potential of financial technologies like blockchain to “progressively change” the twin continents’ financial ecosystem.
He added:
Thus, by uniting efforts with the MAS, we expect to support the development of a regulatory and supervisory framework that while supporting financial stability, nurtures innovation, and promotes market transparency and proper conduct.

GBTC might take a big hit tomorrow.
One vehicle for betting on bitcoin looks overvalued, according to a CNBC report.
The Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC) is designed to track the price of the digital currency but is trading at a serious premium to its underlying assets, the report notes.
The trust holds 174,174 bitcoins according to its latest regulatory filing. Multiplying that number by the current bitcoin price and then dividing by the number of trust shares outstanding yields a value of about $250, the report says. The trust closed Wednesday at $528, however.
As of Wednesday's close, the trust had soared about 336 percent so far this year, while the price of a bitcoin had risen less: 170 percent.
"For investors buying into the fund, such large premiums are a disaster waiting to happen," Sumit Roy wrote in an analysis for ETF.com, the report notes.
A representative of Grayscale, which manages the trust, said it was legally prohibited from commenting, CNBC reports.
