Memes Coins Riding High: Shiba Inu, Floki Inu & DogeMiyagi

Who let the [Shiba Inu] dogs out? Shiba Inu (SHIB) is about to shake up the market with the upcoming release of Shibarium: the Shiba Inu blockchain. Recently a crypto whale pocketed a staggering 4.41 trillion SHIB tokens. The market for meme coins, as a result, is buzzing. Other meme coins that can accompany SHIB in riding this wave are Floki Inu (FLOKI) and DogeMiyagi (MIYAGI). This article delves into recent developments and events to guide investors.

Game Changer For Meme Coins: Shiba Inu’s Shibarium

While most meme coins run on the Etherium or Binance blockchain, Shiba Inu is coming out with news of the Shibarium sending disruptive waves across the market. Despite the excitement being generated, questions arise on the impact of this on its market demand since it will be largely an infrastructure upgrade. Potentially, it can address network congestion, slow transactions, and vulnerabilities to hacks. But will it be enough to increase market demand? There is speculation that SHIB will expand its product offering to include play-to-earn games (P2E) and NFTs, but it remains to be seen.

The extent to which traditional issues of meme coins, perceptually, will be addressed is not seen. For example, the stigma of being ‘pump-and-dump’ schemes at the mercy of social media hype. If SHIB is to be more competitive, it must reshape its perception of meme coins within the crypto market and proactively drive token demand. In order to generate more excitement, there has to be a long-term focus on this area.

DogeMiyagi: The ‘Daniel LaRusso’ Among Meme Coins

DogeMiyagi is inspired by the iconic Dogecoin (DOGE) and the legendary Mr. Miyagi from ‘The Karate Kid’. It is in presale and can leverage the fan-following meme coins have among the Gen-Z community, emulating the success of Dogecoin. Its branding, its usage of quotes by Mr. Miyagi, and its referral programme can drive its popularity. As other Dogecoin-inspired meme coins like SHIB take centre stage with Shibarium, other meme coins will likely spike investors’ interest. If Shibarium succeeds in creating a more secure and efficient environment for meme coins, tokens like MIYAGI can gain as investors may view them as cheaper alternatives.

FLOKI: After All, How Many Meme Coins Can Say They Were Named After Elon’s Pet Dog?

Named after Elon Musk’s Shiba Inu, FLOKI is among the top meme coins. However, interest is starting to wane as its token value has gradually declined. There are bullish sentiments because of FLOKI releasing its decentralised finance (DeFi) portal and metaverse. Yet how well investors and users have taken this on board is unclear. While its journey has been marked by volatility, it has gotten its interest waned as the competition heats up. The Shiba Inu whale’s massive SHIB acquisition and other tokens like PEPE and WSM experiencing similar acquisitions have raised question marks for FLOKI. Nevertheless, its inspiration being tied to Elon Musk and its popularity among gamers can give it a substantial hold on the market.

In conclusion, the highly anticipated release of Shibarium, the Shiba Inu whale’s monumental token accumulation, has set the market for meme coins ablaze. Indeed, the renewed interest in meme coins, as a result, can benefit tokens like DogeMiyagi and FLOKI boosting investor interest. This confluence of events could lead to a price surge for these tokens, in which case, MIYAGI stands to benefit. In contrast, it is the only presale token. It has a lucrative referral programme. Finally, Mr. Miyagi has its back.

Join the DogeMiyagi presale today and embark on a journey to unlock a world of referral-based rewards & more.

The rise of online casinos in Nigeria

Nigeria has a strong gambling culture, which is why it has hardly been a surprise that the online casino industry has managed to boom significantly over the last decade or so. With accessibility and convenience greater than ever through various advancements involving technology, the sector will likely only continue to keep growing at the rapid pace that has been experienced.

Many Nigerians live outside of the biggest cities like Lagos, meaning they did not always have the possibility of heading to a traditional brick-and-mortar casino. They would have to plan their journeys and trips could be very time-consuming. With the way many in the country live their lives, their busy schedules simply did not always allow for them to head to these physical venues.

The emergence of online casinos has allowed them to access their favorite games and utilize the great bonuses that they can find after they have read this article on their preferred or favored devices. Since iGaming can be played via smartphones and tablets while out and about or at home on computing devices, accessibility and convenience continue to drive its expansion across Nigeria.

The history of online gambling in Nigeria

Although Nigeria has always had a strong gambling culture, with many enjoying playing casino games or placing bets on sporting events such as when wagering on their favorite football teams, the online casino industry is one that has only really started to take off in the last 15 years or so.

According to data, it is understood that the first time residents in the African nation had managed to experience the activity was around 2006. Before being able to play through a website, they would have to download software that would then allow them to play the games they wanted.

Since the advent and proliferation of smartphones and other portable technologies, players have taken more notice and been playing more often. They’ve embraced these devices more than ever, increasing their overall playing activity exponentially.

The legality around online casinos in Nigeria

As is experienced across numerous countries, there are some grey areas that need to be considered that can help create an understanding of why the iGaming industry has boomed throughout Nigeria over the last couple of decades.

Casinos and the games that are playable were not widely accepted, with the African nation having only permitted a couple of casinos to be legally opened and made available. However, the laws had been a little outdated for a while and there had been nothing that specifically outlawed the usage of the internet to play gambling games. This did change in 2016, as the Nigerian government decided to introduce regulations that legalized operators who were offering their services in the country. Many are waiting for the Central Bank to change its decision regarding cryptocurrency and the ban it placed on it.

Verdict

With each of the advantages and benefits that Nigerians are able to obtain, it is hardly a surprise to learn that the iGaming industry is booming in the populous country. Online casinos have become a source of entertainment for many residents, and with a culture of gambling already in place, it was only a matter of time before the sites were embraced and widely used.

What is a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization)?

By

DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization, is a new way of organizing and collaborating with people around the world. Unlike traditional organizations, which have a central authority or hierarchy, a DAO is governed by its members through a set of rules encoded in smart contracts on a blockchain. This means that anyone can join a DAO, participate in its decision-making process, and benefit from its collective actions, without having to trust or rely on any intermediaries.

DAOs are important because they enable new forms of social and economic coordination that are more transparent, democratic, and efficient than existing models. DAOs can empower communities to pursue shared goals and values, such as funding public goods, creating digital art, supporting social causes, or building innovative products and services. DAOs can also reduce the costs and risks of collaboration, such as bureaucracy, corruption, censorship, or fraud, by leveraging the security and immutability of blockchain technology.

The core of a DAO is its smart contract, which defines the rules of the organization and holds its funds. The smart contract is deployed on a blockchain, such as Ethereum, which ensures that the rules are enforced, and the funds are secure. The smart contract also allows the members of the DAO to vote on proposals and actions that affect the organization, such as allocating resources, changing parameters, or updating the code. The voting process is transparent and verifiable by anyone on the blockchain.

Some examples of DAOs are:

The DAO, one of the first and most famous DAOs, which was created in 2016 to automate decisions and facilitate cryptocurrency transactions. However, it was hacked and drained of millions of dollars due to a vulnerability in its code.

MakerDAO, a DAO that manages a decentralized lending platform and a stablecoin called DAI. MakerDAO allows users to borrow DAI by locking up collateral in smart contracts and adjusts the interest rates and parameters through a governance token called MKR.

MetaCartel, a DAO that funds and supports projects in the Ethereum ecosystem that focus on user experience, adoption, and social impact. MetaCartel uses a token called METACARTEL to coordinate its members and distribute grants.

DAOs are still an emerging and experimental phenomenon, and they face many challenges and opportunities in their development. Some of the challenges include:

Security: DAOs need to ensure that their smart contracts are bug-free and resistant to attacks, as any flaw or exploit could compromise their funds or functionality.

Scalability: DAOs need to find ways to handle large numbers of members and transactions without sacrificing performance or security, as blockchain networks have limited capacity and high fees.

Regulation: DAOs need to navigate the legal and regulatory implications of their activities, as they may not fit into existing frameworks or jurisdictions.

Culture: DAOs need to foster a culture of trust, cooperation, and accountability among their members, as they rely on collective intelligence and self-organization.

Some of the opportunities include:

Innovation: DAOs can enable new forms of innovation and value creation that are not possible or feasible in traditional organizations, such as crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, co-creation, or co-ownership.

Inclusion: DAOs can enable more people to participate in and benefit from economic and social activities that are otherwise inaccessible or exclusive, such as investing, lending, donating, or voting.

Impact: DAOs can enable more effective and efficient solutions to global challenges that require collective action and coordination, such as climate change, poverty, or health.

DAOs are a revolutionary concept that has the potential to transform how we organize and collaborate with each other. By leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts, DAOs can create decentralized organizations that are more transparent, democratic, and efficient than existing models.

However, DAOs also face many challenges and opportunities in their development, as they need to overcome technical, legal, cultural, and ethical issues. As more people experiment with and participate in DAOs, we may witness the emergence of a new paradigm of social and economic coordination.

 

Normalising Sex Video Leaks in Nigeria

In recent times, Nigeria has grappled with an unsettling surge in the sharing and distribution of explicit sex videos without consent. This disconcerting trend has not only cast a shadow over the privacy and dignity of those involved but has also raised serious concerns about societal values and the erosion of fundamental principles like consent and respect. In this piece, our analyst delves into the unsettling normalization of sex video leaks in Nigeria and proposes practical solutions to combat this deeply distressing phenomenon.

The normalization of sex video leaks in Nigeria is a distressing social phenomenon that has emerged as a byproduct of the digital age. The ubiquity of smartphones and easy access to the internet has created an environment ripe for the sharing of explicit content, often without the consent of the individuals depicted. What is most concerning is the seemingly indifferent response to these incidents that have begun to plague our society.

Recent cases involving public figures and celebrities have garnered significant media attention. Initially, there is shock and outrage. However, as time passes, these incidents tend to fade from public consciousness, leaving behind a disconcerting sense of complacency. This normalization of such behaviour is morally reprehensible and strikes at the very heart of principles that should underpin any civilized society: consent, privacy, and respect.

To effectively address this issue, it is crucial to delve into the root causes behind the normalization of sex video leaks in Nigeria. Several factors contribute to this disturbing trend. Many people remain unaware of the severe consequences of sharing explicit content without consent, both in terms of legal repercussions and moral implications.

Practical solutions can be implemented to combat the normalization of sex video leaks in Nigeria. Comprehensive digital literacy programs can educate citizens, particularly the youth, about online safety, responsible internet usage, and the importance of consent in the digital age. Legal protections for victims of sex video leaks can be enhanced by amending existing laws to include stricter penalties for offenders. Support systems, including counselling services, can be established for individuals who have been affected by sex video leaks, reducing the stigma surrounding such incidents and encouraging victims to seek help.

Nationwide awareness campaigns can educate the public about the consequences of sharing explicit content without consent, emphasizing the legal, ethical, and emotional aspects of such actions. Promoting responsible behaviour online by advocating for the principles of consent, privacy, and respect can be achieved through partnerships with social media platforms, educational institutions, and community organizations. Addressing the underlying economic pressures that drive individuals to engage in cybercrimes for monetary gain is also crucial, with job creation programs and support for those in need being potential solutions.

Normalizing sex video leaks in Nigeria is a grave concern that threatens to corrode the very fabric of our society. Urgent and decisive action is required to confront this issue. It is our collective responsibility to safeguard the rights and dignity of individuals in the digital age and ensure that the normalization of such harmful behaviour becomes a thing of the past. This is not just a legal or moral issue; it is a societal imperative that demands our unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of consent, privacy, and respect in our increasingly connected world.
