MakerDAO, Lightning Labs are in World Economic Forum's list of tech pioneers for 2020
Maker is an ERC20 token that describes itself as “a utility token, governance token, and recapitalization resource of the Maker system.” The purpose of the Maker system is to manage another Ethereum token, the DAI stablecoin, that seeks to trade on exchanges at a value of exactly US$1.00.
One of the most common requests we hear from customers is to be able to buy and sell more cryptocurrencies on Coinbase.Centrifuge has teamed with Paperchain and ConsolFreight to tokenize music streaming royalties and trade invoices, respectively.
The vote, which concluded today, paves the way for these tokens to be used as collateral for minting Dai stablecoins.
Paperchain and ConsolFreight’s tokens would be the first collateral type that isn’t crypto-native. Currently MakerDAO accepts ETH, Basic Attention Tokens, Wrapped Bitcoin and USDC as collateral for Dai loans. The new vote also signaled community support for 0x’s ZRX token, Decentraland’s MANA token, tBTC and Uniswap’s Dai Liquidity Token.
Centrifuge and its partners will now get to work figuring which oracles to use, developing risk models and reviewing smart contract security, Centrifuge CEO Lucas Vogelsang told The Block in an email. He estimated that these steps will take somewhere between a few weeks and a couple of months.Once that work is done, a second, binding vote will be held to determine whether to add the new code to the smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain.Starting today, Coinbase supports Maker ( MKR ) and in the Coinbase Android and iOS apps. Coinbase customers can now buy, sell, convert, send, receive, or store MKR .

The WEF has been recognizing a limited number of tech pioneers every year Who your early token holders are matters a lot
In the mad rush to raise funds via an ICO in the past year, most projects completely ignored the importance of who the token holders are in the early days. Especially in the case of governance tokens that give token holders the right to vote on critical changes to a network on chain, as a founding team you want your token holders to be well-informed contributors rather than speculators looking to make a quick profit without contributing. Even if your token is not a governance token, sophisticated contributors are generally better community members than pure speculators; leading a community of speculators can be distracting at best and devastating at worst.MakerDAO, the organization behind the dollar-pegged stablecoin known as DAI, is in the process of voting on whether to further diversify the collateral it accepts for loans beyond cryptocurrency and tokens to include real-world assets (RWAs).
Specifically, Maker would also allow supply chain invoices and musicians’ future royalty streams as security when it lends out DAI. These assets would be represented on the Ethereum blockchain by non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the innovation that spawned CryptoKitties. Small businesses and artists could take the borrowed DAI, which usually trades 1-for-1 with the U.S. dollar, to crypto exchanges like Coinbase and convert it to cash.
If approved, the proposals would pave the way for the first application of DeFi to solving a tangible business problem outside the rarefied realm of crypto. The current crisis, like the 2008 financial meltdown, has seen big firms apply the brakes across supply chains, to the point where innovative ways of freeing up working capital for suppliers awaiting payment could be a lifesaver.
“The average crypto user that bought bitcoin when it was a few hundred dollars and is using DeFi to trade and manage their wealth is a very different user from a business that is actually quite cash-strapped,” said Lucas Vogelsang, CEO of Centrifuge, a startup focused on bringing real world assets to DeFi.
“These businesses are looking to DeFi as a way to get money quicker and get it on their own terms, without having to go to a bank,” said Vogelsang, whose firm has pilot-tested the financing of freight forward invoices with DeFi loans. “They don’t have crypto to get their DAI loans, so they need to be able to use their invoices or their inventory.”
Holders of MakerDAO’s governance token, MKR , are voting on the proposals. As of Thursday, 96% of votes cast favored inclusion of trade finance assets, with a similar proportion supporting the addition of music royalties. The polls close in about four days.
The MakerDAO ( MKR ) community has locked in an auction to cover a multi-million dollar hole in DAI collateral after the sudden Ethereum (ETH) price crash on March 12. Scheduled for 10:28 AM EST on March 19, the system will auction newly minted MKR in exchange for DAI. The low supply of 1,005,577 MKR which doesn't even factor in potentially lost funds could cause MKR to hit all time highs or break through them with all the volume
DAI Project Overview & Chart Analysis- Here we have good consolidation, good volume coming in and prices moving above EMA10 (green line on the chart).
- The "moving above EMA10" signal is only confirmed when the weekly candle closes, which is after Sunday. If prices move and close below EMA10 weekly you can disregard this signal as it is invalidated.
When the signal is yet to be confirmed, we call it an "early signal". This is one of those.
- We also have a Falling Wedge pattern. Both trendlines, candle close and wick, are now being conquered. (The are bullish signals of course)
-The RSI is strong above 44... Remember that we are looking at the weekly timeframe, above 30 is good here.
When we look at the daily timeframe, we look for an RSI above 40 to consider it good and above 50 to consider it strong/bullish.
-Finally, we have the MACD which is printing bullish cross coming out of the lows and the histogram just printed the first green bar... This can easily lead to higher prices:
This one is a stablecoin so it is also good if you just want to park some money there... Same as with Paxos Standard.
If the BTC pair goes low, you can always cash out your initial value through the USD pair.
This is not financial advice.
Remember to do your own research and build your own plan before you trade.
Namaste.
Yes, short term downtrend is exhausted. Kava has been moving fast, make corrections opportunities.
Depending on what bitcoin does we will be back on the path to see new ATH, making preview resistances support on the way.
Ps: Announcements coming in the end of the month.

ideia for swing trades opportunities on the MKRBTC/KAVABTC Ratio
My Big Coin Picks for the future I just wanted to drop a line about a few coin picks that I really believe that will explode positive in less than a year. Of Course everyone knows that BTC and ETH are going to survive. But there are other coins that are going to just keep growing also. Examples are XOR, XMR, MKR and Band. ( Personal Investments ). They are great for the bullish trading. However, for when the Bears runs, make sure that you have some token sets.
My Biggest point in all of this, is that everyone needs to make sure that they are all set up by November.
After November, By the end of the year, I believe that many world governments are going to start to collapse.
Food supply everywhere is already getting destroyed, as well as many other things. Also Invest in Metals, like gold and silver.
. . . . Prepare yourselves, my fellow coin friends.

MKR/USD Breakout Long Inverse Shoulder Head Shoulders Pattern INVERSE SHOULDER HEAD SHOULDER (REVERSAL FORMATION)
The opposite of a head and shoulders chart is the inverse head and shoulders , also called a head and shoulders bottom, is inverted with the head and shoulders top used to predict reversals in downtrends. This pattern is identified when the price action of a security meets the following characteristics: the price falls to a trough and then rises; the price falls below the former trough and then rises again; finally, the price falls again but not as far as the second trough. Once the final trough is made, the price heads upward, toward the resistance found near the top of the previous troughs.
The Limitations Of Head And Shoulders
Like all charting patterns, the ups and downs of the head and shoulders pattern tell a very specific story about the battle being waged between bulls and bears.
The initial peak and subsequent decline represent the waning momentum of the prior bullish trend . Wanting to sustain the upward movement as long as possible, bulls rally to push the price back up past the initial peak to reach a new high (the head). At this point, it is still possible that bulls could reinstate their market dominance and continue the upward trend.
A head and shoulders pattern is a technical indicator with a chart pattern described by three peaks, the outside two are close in height and the middle is highest.

#MKR/BTC (June 21)MKR is being manipulated because it is difficult to predict the upcoming direction of MKR. So we have 2 plans for it:
- The main trend is to continue to dump and should not hold and wait to buy in two zones are around 0.04 BTC and around 0.03 BTC. These are 2 zones you should buy because it will pump back quite strong.
- We can see that the selling volume is falling sharply but to be sure, we should wait for the MKR to surpass 0.06 BTC to buy with a target price of 0.09 BTC
