Firstly, the numbers: our total value is currently about 2527 STEEM (+32 STEEM), including 1506 STEEM within Steem Engine and a total of 18203 tokens in play. This gives ONECENT an ABV of about 13.88 STEEM cents (0.1388 STEEM), up on yesterday.

### ONECENT News

We seem to be on a steady climb now; let's see how long this holds.

I have placed 100 more tokens at today's ABV of 0.1388 STEEM.

As I've noted before, I will review this on Day 120. I have not seen a huge or urgent take-up of these extra tokens, so I may halt this then and let the ABV potentially rise faster.

Much of our recent profit has come from the TULIP game. I urge those playing that game to keep track of posts. It's a fairly quick game - just 15 days - and with a very large number of tokens sold at 1 cent the profits may look like small numbers but are pretty good percentage-wise.

Have a fine day!

### Crypto News

A torrent of news coming out of China.

[EOS and TRON Top China’s Blockchain Project Rankings](https://beincrypto.com/eos-and-tron-top-chinas-blockchain-project-rankings/)

STEEM is *number 6* on the list!

The Chinese seem to like Graphene chains as EOS, Bitshares and Steem are all in the top 6!

However, as always, the above article fails to even mention Steem, apart from expressing surprise at the top ten.

[BITCOIN WILL ‘NEVER’ CRACK CHINA DUE TO POLITICS, SAYS WEISS RATINGS](https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-will-never-crack-china-due-to-politics-says-weiss-ratings/)

>The rise of blockchain technology was accompanied by that of cryptocurrencies, but innovation in blockchain technology does not mean we should speculate in virtual currencies.
Quoted from China Daily.

[Tencent to Lead Drafting of International Blockchain-Based Invoice Standards](https://www.coindesk.com/tencent-to-lead-drafting-of-international-blockchain-based-invoice-standards)

This may seem dull to many, but this is how a centre of gravity can shift. A reminder that ISO was founded in London with headquarters in Geneva.

[President Xi Says China Should ‘Seize Opportunity’ to Adopt Blockchain](https://www.coindesk.com/president-xi-says-china-should-seize-opportunity-to-adopt-blockchain)

>Xi further said it would be “necessary to implement the rule of law network” into existing and future blockchain systems. To this end, Xi argued for a top-down approach concerning implementation, calling for guidance and regulation.

[China Seizes the Blockchain Opportunity. How Should the US Respond?](https://www.coindesk.com/china-seizes-the-blockchain-opportunity-how-should-the-us-respond)

I have said this repeatedly: it is not about *if* and *when* but *how*. Decentralisation has become a buzzword but it is not one thing. Those who keep up the propaganda about blockchains being some protocol of freedom will be hugely disappointed that those in control wish very much to remain in control. We are already seeing those blockchains that are truly disruptive being pushed out of the spotlight. This is not so hard to do if you own an exchange - especially if you own or can influence most of them. 

Welcome to the technetronic age.

>“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era, 1970.
