### Article no 1:

### Bitcoin’s Price Jumps $1,000 In 30 Minutes Of Market Growth Across The Board















### Summary: 

>* The crypto markets experienced an explosion of growth today, April 12, with Bitcoin (BTC) jumping more than $1,000 to break $8,000 over just a 30 minute period, and the rest of the market solidly in the green.

>* Twitter users have speculated that the recent news that Bitcoin has been declared compliant with Shariah law – according to a report published online today, April 12 – may have contributed to the spike.




### Personal Opinion:

**_Yesterday I ve just said that you ll start to see some green in the market, the Tax season has almost ended in the US, Bitcoin is declared compliant with Shariah law, this will open the gates of 1.8 billion Muslims to start thinking in investing in cryptocurrency, and you know that in the Gulf Region there are a lot of money, and people there love speculating in any market, but they are religious, and they need an approval that this type of business is “halal”, you have also to be aware that the price spiked in 30 minutes, this means that a whale has pumped a lot of money, for me I love to see those surges, because it catches the attention of people to learn more about crypto._**

### Article no 2:

### YouTube and Facebook Are Losing Creators to Blockchain-Powered Rivals











### Summary:

>* Peter “Furious Pete” Czerwinski has close to 5 million YouTube followers, to see his new videos, fans have to use DTube. It looks a lot like YouTube, but video creators rely on donations from viewers instead of ad revenue.
>* Like other upstart sites, DTube runs on the blockchain network Steem, and users can pay creators and commenters in digital tokens.

>* YouTube didn’t respond to a request for comment for this story; Facebook referred to previous statements that the company is working to repair its reputation but hasn’t seen a significant drop in users.

>* The less centralized platforms keep more power—and potentially, privacy—in the hands of creators and users, says Ned Scott, who runs the Steem-based social network Steemit.
>* Two-year-old Steemit has about a million accounts and added some 120,000 last month, according to Scott.
>* Naomi Brockwell, a video creator in New York who specializes in crypto material, says she’s already making an average of $40 a video in Steem tokens, which could take her months on YouTube.


 ### Personal Opinion:

**_Facebook, and YouTube still have a lot of accounts right? Yes, because if you read the surveys done in the most advanced countries, you will notice that 80% of their population still don’t know what cryptocurrency is, and this will change slowly over the years, now other than Steemit and Dtube, there will be a launching of the new app “Appics” which is like Instagram, but on top of a blockchain, most people do not like to write in Blogs, they like simple applications on top of their mobiles that allows them to browse and post pics, this app will draw much attention of the mainstream, great news for Steemit, hopefully the app will be a success._**
