An excerpt reads:

Vitalik Unveils Multi-Year Vision for Ethereum
CoinDesk reports that at ethereum's flagship conference, Devcon, project creator VitalikVitalik Buterin revealed he has been quietly working on a new long-term plan for the future of the blockchain network. What he called a "modest proposal," it's perhaps better described as a three-to-four-year roadmap for ethereum's technical development.
TL:DR - Ethereum will face scalability problems and Buterin believes sharding is the "likely" solution to this problem.
...and he say's "basically we’re just inches away from a proof of concept in python."

MARKET SENTIMENT
Technical Signals
No technical signals today. I think we already hit the BTC top this morning.
