The (ephimeral) success of solo projects on Chapter 2

I wanted to write a post about chapter 2 and Jimin, the "sabotages"... but I don't know if I'm able to sort out the facts and my ideas or judgements about them properly. Nothing is clear to me yet.

There are days when a part of me believes that something is going on with Jimin and Hybe (or BH, I don't know which). But there's another part, the rational part, the part that works as an economist for 20 years, that knows that it doesn't make much sense for a for-profit company to boycott one of its most valuable assets.

In the Executive Boards, and in financial planning, decisions are made on the basis of economical evidence, which is always provided by current numbers (or estimates), not by the heart. Maybe even in the case of BTS there is some sense of fairness, I would say, at the outset. And not an asymmetric distribution according to profit projections.

In the trade-off I find myself in, I would like to share the following thoughts:

- I have recently realised that Chapter 2 is not the chapter of their solo career. It is the chapter of their solo work, which is slightly different.

- Most of them has a short time to promote their work. The average has been a "several weeks" window.

- Their success is therefore somewhat short-lived or ephimeral. It appears and within weeks it seems to fade away, eclipsed by the next in line. The nex king of "k-..."

- There is no intention of promoting a structured solo career, because 1) BTS have said (a million times) that they will be back in 2025, and 2) if we are to take them at their word, the boys will all be joining the military before the end of 2023.

- So, there is no long-term vision to support "some" and not "others".

- The support is focused on a specific work. The only exception to a more continuous commitment has been Suga and his tour.

- Everyone has their budget, their schedule, their activities for the year...

- And yes, there can be different intensities of promotional activities, depending on the defined strategy or budget or goal or whatever (we don't know the whole story because the company doesn't explain anything to us). There is a rumour that some have even put their money into some activities. But I don't know how true that is.

- And I think they all have a say in the design of their promotions, even if they don't design them themselves.

So then....I can't take the agency away from any of them.

They are the best advocates or defenders within the company. And if one of them had less influence, which I doubt, the others would not remain silent without solving the problem. Or how do we think a commitment from the 7 of them to the 7 of them is achieved to keep BTS as a unified group? There are no weak links in this group. And if there were, I wouldn't bet my money that Jimin is one of them.

Once again, there are things that I can't explain and I'd like to know what's going on (the lack of restocking, the split of Spotify streaming, the deletion of sales...). But if there really have been damaging mistakes or strategies for any of them, I hope that when the next contract comes up for renewal, they will sort it out very thoroughly. Cause this cant happen anymore.

To tell you the truth, I blame the company for many things, and one of them - as serious as their lack of planning - is their lack of communication with the fans. BeautifulPeach has talked about this in some of her posts.

At some point in its growth, Hybe became too big to fail, or whatever, and forgot about certain corporate social responsibility obligations. One of them is to talk to its most important stakeholders: the customers, i.e. the fans. And addressing some of their concerns.

Investors are important in listed companies, but customers are important too. Always.

And if they don't see it that way and continue to despise the fans (clients) in that way, then at the end “future is not gonna be ok”.

And yes, I know that K-pop is controversial. It's clear that they can't deal with every rumour, every silly trend that comes out every day on twitter, ships, solos demands, etc. But there are things that they can deal with. And some of the Jimin's events when Face happened are one of them.

A bit of transparency would be appreciated. I expect it, actually, at some point (maybe when this chapter ends).

Maybe there will be things that could be explained as commercial strategy (do they want us to buy Face instead of the single LC, for example? And that's why they're not stocking it again?). But they might also be telling us about certain difficulties. Or about certain forecasting mistakes. Or how they learned from some of them. I'm pretty sure they learned a lot from Jimin's Face era.

I don't think I will be able to judge everything that has happened until at least the end of this year, when all the solo works have been completed/released.

And I'll have to keep listening to Bongo to see if he still talks about how they are more interested in being a company that has groups rather than individual singers. Maybe that is why it seems there's a ceiling to individual success. There is nothing better than capping success with time limitation of activities ("Let's see if that makes the fans forget what solo members are capable of")

And even then, there will be differences between all of them. Quite a lot.

But we will also have to consider that they are different artists with different goals, sensibilities, objectives and situations (let's not forget that JK himself, who now seems quite greedy, has admitted that he needed and enjoyed his free time and Seven had to come along to give him a boost). So we should be careful with the comparison too.

Perhaps Jin will end up getting the most promotions when he comes out, considering how little time he has had. Poor Jin…😔 He had to wait until the end of the year to enlist, despite the bad weather, to give us the Busan concert. It was a commitment to BTS, but it was a short of individual sacrifice too… you know..they do these things for BTS.

I would also like to listen to them (yes, it's a bit ambitious on my part, but I would like to listen to Jimin and his feelings, at the end of this year... will he open up to us?)

In conclusion, I would say that if we are BTS fans and want to remain so, and if we believe in the boys' words .... I would advise us to enjoy every moment they give us for their limited time. Every campaign, every song, every vlive... and try to find an atmosphere of caution given the situation we are in.

And by that I mean that we should also be able to read that we are in the age of solos and akages. All the information about grievances or leaks that comes out usuarlly comes from the same places.

And I'm not saying it's FALSE! Nor do I mean to belittle it! Just that sometimes we should take into account the intentions behind. And before we react, let's consider the source and the context. Look at what happened to the RNX journalist we all spent almost a day reporting on for a bad translation. Or look at how, in less than two weeks, two CCTV vids of Jimin shopping with a friend (one of them clearly with Saeon) suddenly appeared just as it became known that he was going to NY with JK.

Anyway, I will be a bit cautious for now. There are still a few months until the end of the year. A lot can still happen.

Jimin could came back again to us with sth as amazing as Like Crazy. Or even better, an album.

I miss Jimin and want to see him shine again and talking to us.

And I miss jikook……arrrggg

Why are Tenses Important in English Language? Know the Reason

You should always keep in mind that English is a chronological language. English speakers simply always need to know when some action or event took place. Chronology, or events and dates set in order of their happening, is expressed by English speakers through verb tenses. Each tense indicates the connection between two or more time periods or the exact time an activity occurred, which underlines the importance of English grammar tenses. They can be used to create different meanings from the same verbs and help to anchor the listener understand the meaning behind your story. Thus, English has a lot of verb tenses with some expressing a connection between two time periods whereas others indicate the exact timing of an activity. Further, the depth of the English tenses should never be underestimated. We can, indeed, express very different things when simply changing the tense; or even use tenses as rhetorical devices to stress whether we strongly believe a project "is going to succeed" or simply express that we "will see" if a project "will succeed".

Some languages do not put as much emphasis on tenses and the chronological order of events and actions. Instead, they stress (hierarchical) relationships between the people involved in the events and actions that are being described by the speaker/narrator. Japanese is one example for a language that puts much more emphasis on relationships. Thus, English learners whose first language is Japanese need to pay extra attention to the tenses in English and should work with visualization aids to move English tenses from the rather abstract realm of textbooks to a much more tangible and understandable medium. For example, why not take a wooden box and imagine that the past tenses need to placed within that box to symbolize how they describe events and actions that started and were completed in the past. This method works for tactile and visual learners alike.

If you’re still wondering why verb tenses are important, then let’s walk through the different types of tenses and how they can be used to effectively communicate with other people. After all, the goal of this post is to understand the important verb tenses that will help you in businesses and daily life.

Where does the word ‘tense’ come from?

Understanding where words come from will help you remember why they’re important. You can quickly recall the value of a verb tense by memorizing that it comes from the Latin word tempus, meaning time. With the English verb tense lists below, you’ll be able to quickly understand how to communicate about different events in time.

Four Main Types of Verb Tenses

Past Tense

Present Tense

Future Tense

Perfect Tense

Four Forms of Verb Tenses

Simple Progressive/Continuous

More About the Different Types of Verb Tenses

The four main types of verb tenses and two forms can be used in a variety of combinations to create unique meanings. With so many options, it can be hard to determine what type of verb tense to use at the appropriate time. Below, you’ll find definitions of the different verb tenses and examples to help you understand how these could be used in your daily life.

Simple Form Verb Tenses

You can think of simple verb tenses as the building block of all other forms. In English grammar, simple form verb tenses do not have an auxiliary verb in affirmative sentences, which you’ll find in other forms. Below, you’ll find examples of simple present, past, and future phrases that you can use in conversation.

Simple Present Tense – Definition & Examples

The present tense can be used in two ways: to express a recurring action and to represent a common belief. Below, you’ll find an example of how the present tense is used in each of these instances.

Example 1: The tallest buildings are on 42nd and E Street.

Example 2: On warm days, the students run home from the park.

Example 3: Plants process carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.

Simple Past Tense – Definition & Examples

If you’re talking with a friend or a coworker and you want to explain that you started and finished an activity in the past, then you’d want to use a simple past tense verb. Regular past tense verbs end with -ed, but you’ll also find irregular past tense verbs where the spelling of the root word changes.

Example 1: We jumped off the diving board and into the pool.

Example 2: We drove through the night to make it home after the party.

Simple Future Tense - Definition & Examples

In its simple form, the future tense signifies something that is going to happen in the future. You can identify or use the simple future tense by using will or shall (note: The latter is far less common than will). Aside from will and shall, you can also express the simple future tense with am, is, are + base verb + ing, going to, and the simple present.

Example 1: My team will finish the report on Friday.

Example 2: We’re going to the mall on Saturday to find new clothes before the concert.

Example 3: The race starts early in the morning before the sun rises.

Perfect Verb Tenses

Not all events are clearly situated within a time frame, which is to say that some events happen at an indefinite time. Do you remember the specific time you drank coffee today? Probably not, because it stretched out over an indefinite period of time in the past. Perfect verb forms also apply to past and future tenses, where an event took place before another or will be completed in the future before another action.

Present Perfect Tense - Definition & Example

Communicating events with indiscrete times can be tricky in English. The present perfect tense is supposed to make this easier. If you want to explain an event that happened at an indefinite time in the past or that began in the past and continues into the present, then I’ve put together a few examples below. These will help you understand the basic rule of the present perfect.

Example 1: My friends have seen the movie so many times, they lost count.

Example 2: People have gathered together to celebrate each other’s birthdays for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Past Perfect Tense - Definition & Example

If you’re talking about multiple events that happened in the past, then the past perfect tense will be useful for you. This verb tense allows you to discuss or write about an event that took place in the past, but before another past action.

Example 1: All the cars had parked alongside the road to watch the meteor shower.

Future Perfect Tense - Definition & Example

Just like you can discuss the relationship between two events in the past, you can also do so for those occurring in the future. The future perfect tense describes an event that will occur before another in the future. You can identify future perfect tense verbs because they’ll use the phrase, will have with a past participle.

Example 3: When I finally visit Japan, I will have traveled to every country.

Progressive Verb Tenses

If you want to signify something that is ongoing or discuss two events that overlapped in time, then the progressive verb tense is the best option to use. Both in writing and conversation, progressive forms help to show the duration of an event rather than just stating that it occurs, occurred, or will occur.

Present Progressive Tense - Definition & Examples

Often times, it’s useful to explain that an occurrence is happening at the same time of your explanation or writing. In English, the verb tense you would use to show that an action is happening at the same time of the explanation is called the present progressive form. Typically, speakers and writers use a verb ending in -ing alongside am, is, or are to create a present progressive form.

Example 1: The students are studying for their exams for the next few weeks.

Example 2: The children are eating their breakfast before our hike today.

Example 3: I am finding a way to go to the festival this year!

Past Progressive Tense - Definition & Example

Aside from using a progressive verb tense to show that an event is occurring at the time of the statement, they’re also used when talking about events that happened in the past. A past progressive tense can be used to show an action that was happening at the same time as another in the past. These past tense progressive verbs are typically used with was or were and also end in -ing.

Example 1: Our friends were eating breakfast at our house when we got the news our family just landed in Chicago for a surprise visit.

Example 2: I was sitting in the lobby when the clock struck midnight.

Future Progressive Tense - Definition & Example

Like the other forms, the future progressive tense also uses verbs that end in -ing along with will be/shall be, and am/is/are + going to be. This tense is most commonly used in conversation and when writing to describe a future event that will be ongoing.

Example 1: My friends will be spending some time with us next Saturday.

Example 2: I am going to be waiting for you in the lobby of the hotel.

Perfect Progressive Forms

Aside from showing an event at a certain period of time or the relationship between two past or future events, there is one more option you have when discussing the time between events. A perfect progressive form allows you to explain an event that happened in the past, is occurring in the present, and may occur in the future. In other words, you can use this when trying to explain a project you started last week but you won’t finish until the next.

Present Perfect Progressive Tense - Definition & Examples

When making project updates, or trying to explain when you’re going on vacation, you might need to use the present perfect progressive tense. This verb tense describes an event or action that started in the past, continues in the present, and may continue into the future. This form is created by using has or have been and a verb ending in -ing.

Example 1: For the past two weeks, the team members have been debating who will be the next team campaign leader.

Past Perfect Progressive Tense - Definition & Examples

If you’d like to communicate with depth, then you can use the past perfect progressive tense. Trust me, it sounds more complicated than it is in practice. Put simply, this verb tense gives you the ability to talk about a past action that was ongoing and completed before another past action occurred.

Example 1: We had been baking for the holidays when we heard our friends knock at the door.

Future Perfect Progressive Tense - Definition & Examples

Especially when talking business, the future perfect progressive tense is helpful for communicating with others. If you need to explain the expectations one or two quarters out, then you can do so by communicating or writing with this verb tense. The future perfect progressive tense describes an event in the future that is ongoing, but occurs before an arbitrarily specified time. You can create this form by using will have been and a verb ending in -ing.

Examples: By the end of the century, we will have been using the internet for over forty years.

There you go — now that you know the different types and forms of verb tenses you can start to practice communicating about time with people. Challenge yourself with one of these verb tenses a week to try to improve your fluency. At the end of the week, write down the different phrases you used and keep an ongoing journal to commit them to memory.

After reading my post and I am not sure you read it because your comments are full of errors and misrepresentations.

Funny calling me creepy coming from you a tumblr in the NSFW community. Creepy is a subjective term. I would think someone sexually open minded, living in a married open relationship, doing porn, would be open to other ways of living. If I was female 40+ going after young skinny boys (18+ of course) you would think it was hot. Shame on you for being a hypocrite to your own lifestyle and community.

Do you know who this is? Gianluca Vacchi an Italian 50+ millionaire with his now divorced wife Giorgia Gabriele 30 or so at the time. The only difference between me and him is money. (also maybe be body shape LOL working on it) And I bet that if I had money to back my proposal your attitude would be very very different. See the hypocrisy in your comment?

Gianluca is my role model in terms of where I am going with my own fitness goals. Georges Lucas and Steve Jobs are also my role models in terms of overcoming everyone else's objections to their visions.

youtube

Where the fuck do you get that? I am confident with my vision and concept.. not the same as ego. I am not comparing myself to Georges Lucas but do you know how many people shot down his idea for Star Wars yet his confidence in his vision got him where he is today. If you heard him speaking nobody would accuse him of having a fuelled ego. I have no idea where you see an ego issue when I am looking for a creative partner to contribute to this show. This is not a scripted show so to make this work obviously the cohost is very very important.

I know this quote from Kid Rock, didn’t know its origins. You or I can’t tell the future and whether or not I can back it up. Only time will tell if I will be able to back it up.

Nothing in life is free

SFW content revenue sharing

When we will travel together and produce SFW content for Youtube and other social media platforms, your “pay” will be traveling while having no basic expenses, for example lodgings (obviously), food and all costs related to travelling and visiting touristic sites.

You think it costs nothing to cover the cohost living expenses? Did you actually read the proposal or just looked to nit pick. Just because I doubt you read this but this part is SFW content meaning no nex in this content.

NSFW content revenue sharing

For the NSFW content you will not get paid in advance of the sale of content we will produce like in larger adult production companies. We are going to be a small independent production company where nobody tells us what we need or have to do. The team we will build together will make all decisions. However as we determine the basic costs of operation (fuel, Skoolie repairs, food, etc..) then we can split the after expense profits evenly. We will have to look at this again with an accountant as we get closer to start producing NSFW content. Please rest assured that you will never ever have any expenses to pay as we travel together and produce, SFW and NSFW content.

Again look at the bold text here. I am pretty clear on revenue sharing for the actual sex on camera and that at some point we will consult an accountant to figure out the split.

The getting paid issue is dealt with in #3 and you had nothing originally truthful or even correct about the proposal.

Do you feel foolish yet? Again you missconstrued my proposal by NOT FUCKING READING IT.

Yes this is an unconventional arrangement with financial connections. What marriage or serious relationship isn’t. Your making me sound like a sex trafficker or a pimp who beats his girls!!!! based on what you read LOL or not... I clearly state that its an open door relationship.

I think it goes without saying that our first tour together will be only for a few weeks. Once completed we can evaluate its success and if we manage not to kill each other, we can extend the tour or I can simply bring you back home.

Yes there is a business arrangement but if I love my partner I want to help her. Obviously the original premiss is “cohost/romantic/sexual partner” but based on two adults communicating we can make changes to the deal depending on what each of us wants.

Before making “Fake News” half assed researched comments, maybe you should have read from A to Z carefully and asked questions first before shiting on some else's ideas because maybe your life sucks so bad you're looking for something or someone to vent on (that is my sarcastic comment just like your unicorn one). If you had given me constructive criticism and offered valid points I would have taken them and used the information to make improvements on my vision. But all you did is “Fake Newsed” it.

Otherwise I hope you have yourself a wonderful fucking day!!!

Feedback is based on knowledge of what your giving feedback from. You lack the knowledge because it is blatantly obvious you simply skimmed over it. I gave you feedback based on your comments that where misrepresentations (not a different perspective) of what I wrote. You approached my proposal biased and with your perspective (which you are allowed to have a different one then me) however that perspective blinded you to what I actually wrote and ment. Then you proceeded to write feedback with half truths. This is not about perspective at all and that is just an excuse you seem to like using.

I never said that tumblr girls are creepy!!!!

Funny calling me creepy coming from you a tumblr in the NSFW community. Creepy is a subjective term.

I thought you would catch my drift. There is some creepy weird stuff in tumblr and was alluding to creepy is relative to the point of view of the person viewing.

Just like you are in Reddit or Tumblr, I am expressing my sexuality via this proposal. In the same way that I respect and actually admire you for being sexually free and liberated, please respect me in the same way, even if you’re not interested in my proposal and you think I am nuts. (I know I am nuts) To me BDSM does not give me pleasure but I would not slut shame (or manwhore shame) someone who did. We all get pleasure in different ways and that’s the beauty of being alive.

Not my fault you didn't read my proposal.

What would be the difference with meeting on a dating app? Many people want different things and you can choose to reply if you like or IGNORE if you don’t. Obviously you are not aware of that option.

Your snarky answers are truly dishonest. Yes I invited you to travel with me but not before you had a chance to vet me via my social media and we get to know each other over many months!!!!!

Then and only then we could choose to meet or not, to begin with. Then if there is a connection sexually we could have some fun together.

Then if during our travels (as on open relationship/poly/swinging couple) we/you met someone that interests us/you we can talk about inviting them to have some fun.

Truly your slant on what I meant and said is way way off to the point of being Fake News.

Again would you find creepy if the form message was linked to a request to travel with an older woman you don’t know on a bus to perform sex acts and pick up guys? Just having reversed the roles just brings me back to the Fake News slant you put on my proposal that is so way off from what I said no matter if its just a pipe dream.

You wasted your own time by replying in the first place. You had the option to ignore and even block me. But your ego thinking you knew better then me absolutely couldn't shut up and needed to rant.

Yes I may have used a “standard form message” but I don’t message to all. You have no way of knowing how many I messaged your comment is another blatant example of “Fake News”.

I understand more than you think and you have no way of knowing what I understand since again you have proven that you have not read my proposal thoroughly or even my response since you replied practically before I pressed on the send button. Not to mention you never even asked me any questions to maybe clarify what I wrote (that you didn’t read anyways).

You have a very different view than me of what is true. Yes your comments are ridiculous which is the first thing you said that is true.

With my social media and contacts an open book to view I can’t see how it is predatory. Your slant is so slanted that a simple invitation to travel with an unusual arrangement makes it predatory then so be it. I intend to harm nobody and I am not hidden in the dark shadows waiting to pounce on the next innocent victim like you make me out to be.

Again only as an example not to compare myself, people said that Elon Musk's dream of SpaceX was unrealistic.

Well based on your slanted and biased misreading skills coming from you it’s a compliment. Reading [your comments] reeks of privilege and fundamental misunderstanding of what “cohosts” are [going to be] about.

First of all I never said “hero”. I said mentor for his physical appearance and his dedication to training and keeping a fit body.

I don’t know what your problem is but you have a very slanted biased perspective on my proposal. Based on continuously showing me over and over that you didn’t read my proposal... skimming does not count, it is not surprising that everything you says rubs me the wrong way. You are the type to share on Facebook a “Sylvester Stallone is dead” article with checking to see if its true.

You are allowed to have a different perspective then me and I have no issue if your comments reflected that. What rubs me the wrong way is that you commented half truths and, made me look like a predatory creep without knowing me and worse without READING THE FUCKING PROPOSAL.

We need to see some fundamentals to jolt altcoin price action today. Should there be further gains say in Bitcoin and EOS, they are lagging behind, prices could explode. As statistics shows, Stellar Lumens is spearheading this week’s gain with an impressive 66 percent gain while IOTA is following closely at 43 percent. Even though I still maintain my bullish skew, buying Litecoin, EOS and NEO might present superior returns in the short to medium term.Let’s have a look at these charts:XLM/USD (Stellar Lumens)Stellar Lumens Daily Chart by Trading ViewEverything digital is bound to have their own weaknesses. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, some savvy black hat hackers are having a field day. According to a report from Stellar Protocol Foundation, some $618 Million is missing in 2018 alone. The large chunk of it comes from CoinCheck heist.As expected, this is but a huge deterrence to adoption as many payment systems are shying away and barring customers from making payment in crypto. To counter this, the Stellar Protocol foundation tasked with mapping out Stellar Addresses shall introduce HTTPS connection between their servers and wallets for security purposes.It’s our duty to turn on HTTPS by default, or force those who don’t want to, all too easy to inject malware into legitimate users streams. Stellar work by @citizenlab team. https://t.co/dR5g8AdHKT— Daniel Cuthbert (@dcuthbert) April 19, 2018Price wise Stellar is towing in as per our previous Stellar Lumens technical analysis. What draws my attention is that upper BB bull candlestick banding and a nice follow through of last week’s bullish pressure. Because of this, we should brace ourselves for higher highs as Lumens add up to their gains. After $0.40, buyers should eye $0.50 and the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement line at $0.70 in the coming weeks.IOT/USD (IOTA)IOTA Daily Chart by Trading ViewAfter Amazon, everything else is now possible. We might as well hear Facebook and Google getting into the blockchain data market place and relaying Bitcoin user transactions to law enforcement. It’s weird because it waters down everything decentralization efforts.Such moves makes me think IOTA is doing the right thing and holding is a just about the right thing to do. Anyways, so you know the next IOTA wallet snapshot will take place on May 6, 2018. Then the issue of obsoluteTag field and fixes on IRI will be dealt with.The next global #IOTA snapshot will be coming in the first weekend of May: May 6, 2018 at 16:00 UTC | Network Restart: May 6, 2018 at 23:00 UTC. This #snapshot will introduce some fixes for #IRI. Learn more and be prepared: https://t.co/7vaVPgYbkb & https://t.co/LzxF0V9yNK pic.twitter.com/KyfB3NtWDO— IOTA News (@iotatokennews) April 18, 2018It will sound like a song but there is nothing else I could say. If you look for IOTA buying opportunities in lower time frames and buy in line with our previous IOTA technical analysis, I really think you stand to turn in a profit.After all, IOTA is up 8 percent in the last 24 hours and 43 percent in the last 7 days. Besides it’s up 15 cents from last week’s highs and that’s why I recommend buys.EOS/USD (EOS)EOS Daily Chart by Trading ViewRemember, EOS is still crowd funding, don’t forget that. Already it has more than $2B yet the project is not even live. EOS developers are working hard behind the scenes and with Dawn 3.0 and proper decentralization which the platform promises, will it wreck havoc on Ethereum? Well, that’s a maybe or not.I won’t rely on current EOS vs. Ethereum metrics because the former has a working product while the later is gearing for a mainnet launch. Price pumps are inevitable so let’s wait and see. Then again, EOS is still an Ethereum token.I will reiterate what I said yesterday. EOS is still trending within a mid-range accumulation and logically, I shall trade with the trend. Already, EOS is up 5 percent and what I need is a break past $9.5 or even $10-the 50% Fibonacci retracement line before I jump in and buy.In that case stops should be below $8 with targets at $16. Regardless of short term price swings, expect a pump as we approach June mainnet launch.LTC/USD (Litecoin)Litecoin Daily Chart by Trading ViewApart from that 20 percent jump, there is nothing much from the fundamental front we can talk about Litecoin in the last 24 hours or so. Anyways, price action is in line with our Litecoin forecast.Encouragingly, following yesterday’s price expansion, a bullish break out is visible in the 4HR chart while candlesticks are now banding along the upper BB in the daily chart. All these hints of possible higher highs in the coming weeks and that is why buying on dips in lower time frames can be a good trading plan.NEO/USD (NEO)NEO Daily Chart by Trading ViewOk, the Restart Energy team plans on meeting Da Hong Fei and undoubtedly their plans of deregulating worldwide energy markets is grand. However, when possible investors begin talking of Restart Energy plagiarizing their whitepaper from a competitor, Grid+, then those are a lot of red flags.@RestartEnergyio meets with @NEO_Blockchain at a small conference in the @Europarl_EN . Speakers will be from $NEX, $NEO and $ONT.Doesnt seem like a big event, but its an important one for #blockchain and #smarteconomy in general.https://t.co/PSFshJmR7d$crypto— Seaside (@seaside_crypto) April 19, 2018While this is happening, Moonlight is working towards reducing resource compartmentalization.

NEO, EOS, Litecoin, IOTA and Stellar: Technical Analysis April 20, 2018

Let’s have a look at these charts:

XLM/USD (Stellar Lumens)

Stellar Lumens Daily Chart by Trading View

Everything digital is bound to have their own weaknesses. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, some savvy black hat hackers are having a field day. According to a report from Stellar Protocol Foundation, some $618 Million is missing in 2018 alone. The large chunk of it comes from CoinCheck heist.

As expected, this is but a huge deterrence to adoption as many payment systems are shying away and barring customers from making payment in crypto. To counter this, the Stellar Protocol foundation tasked with mapping out Stellar Addresses shall introduce HTTPS connection between their servers and wallets for security purposes.

It’s our duty to turn on HTTPS by default, or force those who don’t want to, all too easy to inject malware into legitimate users streams. Stellar work by @citizenlab team. https://t.co/dR5g8AdHKT

Price wise Stellar is towing in as per our previous Stellar Lumens technical analysis. What draws my attention is that upper BB bull candlestick banding and a nice follow through of last week’s bullish pressure. Because of this, we should brace ourselves for higher highs as Lumens add up to their gains. After $0.40, buyers should eye $0.50 and the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement line at $0.70 in the coming weeks.

IOT/USD (IOTA)

IOTA Daily Chart by Trading View

After Amazon, everything else is now possible. We might as well hear Facebook and Google getting into the blockchain data market place and relaying Bitcoin user transactions to law enforcement. It’s weird because it waters down everything decentralization efforts.

Such moves makes me think IOTA is doing the right thing and holding is a just about the right thing to do. Anyways, so you know the next IOTA wallet snapshot will take place on May 6, 2018. Then the issue of obsoluteTag field and fixes on IRI will be dealt with.

The next global #IOTA snapshot will be coming in the first weekend of May: May 6, 2018 at 16:00 UTC | Network Restart: May 6, 2018 at 23:00 UTC. This #snapshot will introduce some fixes for #IRI.

It will sound like a song but there is nothing else I could say. If you look for IOTA buying opportunities in lower time frames and buy in line with our previous IOTA technical analysis, I really think you stand to turn in a profit.

After all, IOTA is up 8 percent in the last 24 hours and 43 percent in the last 7 days. Besides it’s up 15 cents from last week’s highs and that’s why I recommend buys.

EOS/USD (EOS)

EOS Daily Chart by Trading View

Remember, EOS is still crowd funding, don’t forget that. Already it has more than $2B yet the project is not even live. EOS developers are working hard behind the scenes and with Dawn 3.0 and proper decentralization which the platform promises, will it wreck havoc on Ethereum? Well, that’s a maybe or not.

I won’t rely on current EOS vs. Ethereum metrics because the former has a working product while the later is gearing for a mainnet launch. Price pumps are inevitable so let’s wait and see. Then again, EOS is still an Ethereum token.

I will reiterate what I said yesterday. EOS is still trending within a mid-range accumulation and logically, I shall trade with the trend. Already, EOS is up 5 percent and what I need is a break past $9.5 or even $10-the 50% Fibonacci retracement line before I jump in and buy.

In that case stops should be below $8 with targets at $16. Regardless of short term price swings, expect a pump as we approach June mainnet launch.

LTC/USD (Litecoin)

Litecoin Daily Chart by Trading View

Apart from that 20 percent jump, there is nothing much from the fundamental front we can talk about Litecoin in the last 24 hours or so. Anyways, price action is in line with our Litecoin forecast.

Encouragingly, following yesterday’s price expansion, a bullish break out is visible in the 4HR chart while candlesticks are now banding along the upper BB in the daily chart. All these hints of possible higher highs in the coming weeks and that is why buying on dips in lower time frames can be a good trading plan.

NEO/USD (NEO)

NEO Daily Chart by Trading View

Ok, the Restart Energy team plans on meeting Da Hong Fei and undoubtedly their plans of deregulating worldwide energy markets is grand. However, when possible investors begin talking of Restart Energy plagiarizing their whitepaper from a competitor, Grid+, then those are a lot of red flags.

@RestartEnergyio meets with @NEO_Blockchain at a small conference in the @Europarl_EN . Speakers will be from $NEX, $NEO and $ONT.

Doesnt seem like a big event, but its an important one for #blockchain and #smarteconomy in general.https://t.co/PSFshJmR7d$crypto

While this is happening, Moonlight is working towards reducing resource compartmentalization. They shall make this possible through easing recruitment and availing superior analytical project management system.

Technically, NEO is at cross roads and you can check out April 19 doji candlestick if you need some evidence. Even if prices are above $70, conservative trades can stay on the sidelines until there’s further price appreciation.

After all, those who got in early can target $90 on the lower limit and $110 on the upside as per our previous NEO technical analysis.
