Thank you for the update.

Thanks Michael, highly appreciated. Upvoted and resteemed.

useful information thanks for sharing @ boxmining

I was suspicious about the south korea ban from the start. I had suspicion that with the ban news the officials are trying to manipulate the market so that they can buy some bitcoins and profit later.

This is powerful because it shows how badly people actually want to trade cryptos.

Thanks. I read the article regarding Venezuela. The responders mostly were responding to emotion resulting from American propaganda. I need to know more about the Petro but would likely buy it if everything checks out.
