During the first quarter of the year, AI-related cryptocurrencies experienced an impressive surge, capitalizing on the unprecedented growth of the AI sector. This surge was catalyzed by the groundbreaking emergence of ChatGPT, drawing investors with the allure of cutting-edge technologies.

However, recent data from Kaiko, a crypto intelligence firm, reveals a decline in trading volume for AI-focused crypto projects. AI Cryptocurrencies have lost momentum, experiencing their lowest weekly trade volume since January. Identified as promising options for near-term investor rewards, Signuptoken.com (SIGN), Chainlink (LINK), and Cosmos (ATOM) stand out among alternative cryptocurrencies

AI Crypto Coins: A Fading Sparkle

The AI sector’s unprecedented growth, spurred by the revolutionary potential of ChatGPT, initially propelled AI cryptocurrencies to new heights. Traders and investors rode the wave, fueling these tokens’ remarkable surge in the early months of the year. However, The momentum of AI-based cryptocurrencies is undergoing a noteworthy decline, compelling investors to cast their gaze toward alternative avenues. The recalibration of market sentiment has resulted in diminished interest and trading engagement in projects associated with AI-related crypto. This shift can be attributed to multiple factors, including market saturation and evolving investor preferences, culminating in a discernible reduction in enthusiasm for digital currencies underpinned by AI.

Looking Beyond: The Rise of Signuptoken

In the midst of this changing landscape, a new player emerges: SignUpToken. While AI Crypto Coins face uncertainty, Signuptoken.com introduces an inventive, community-centric crypto token. The Millionaire Club, an exclusive feature of Signuptoken.com, allures potential investors. By acquiring the native token SIGN and completing an email registration, users gain free access to this club.

Within the club, members possess the ability to refer acquaintances, reaping rewards and various advantages. Moreover, Signuptoken.com dedicates 20% of its total token supply for community incentives, nurturing a sense of ownership and commitment among its supporters. With a promise of an impressive 72X return upon launch, Signuptoken.com also plans to introduce additional avenues for passive income. This potential for profitable investment establishes Signuptoken.com as a compelling choice for investors interested in community-driven projects.

Unveiling the Missing LINK & Embracing Sustainable Growth with Cosmos

While the AI Crypto Coins market experiences turbulence, there are steadfast contenders demonstrating resilience and potential for sustainable growth. As highlighted by crypto market expert Michaël van de Poppe, Bitcoin is crucial for blockchain-powered payments, while Ethereum (ETH) is essential for smart contracts. The missing link? Oracles – third-party services that provide external data to smart contracts. These intermediaries bridge the gap between the blockchain and the real world. Interestingly, crypto whales have been accumulating positions in the leading crypto oracle, Chainlink (LINK), amassing around 11 million tokens in the last month, amounting to approximately $77 million.

Cosmos (ATOM) operates as a Layer 0 blockchain, with a mission to tackle the scalability and interoperability issues within the decentralized landscape. It offers a sturdy foundation for constructing and linking autonomous blockchains, forming an Internet of Blockchains. By utilizing the Tendermint consensus algorithm, merging Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) with Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Cosmos ensures network security, efficiency, and governance. This synergy allows for seamless asset, data, and information exchange, nurturing a decentralized and interconnected ecosystem. This pioneering approach has attracted substantial attention, with analysts foreseeing notable growth for the Cosmos network.

The Future Beckons: Seizing the Opportunity

As AI Crypto Coins falter and the market shifts, there’s a remarkable opportunity to be part of a new dawn in the world of digital assets. AI-related cryptocurrencies initially surged due to ChatGPT’s impact but have since lost momentum. SignUpToken emerges with a community-focused approach amid this uncertainty. Chainlink remains strong as a key crypto oracle despite fluctuations, while Cosmos addresses decentralized challenges innovatively. These developments highlight the evolving cryptocurrency landscape, emphasizing adaptability and diverse opportunities for growth.

The excitement and potential behind SignUpToken’s vision cannot be overstated. In anticipation of its exciting presale, we encourage crypto investors and traders intrigued by the integration of AI into the crypto landscape to explore the SignUpToken project. Invest early in SignUpToken and contribute to shaping the digital future, guided by innovation and sustainable growth.

Hong Kong Crypto: Shifting the Cryptocurrency Center of Gravity from America to Asia – DogeMiyagi’s Global Aspirations

The global phenomenon of cryptocurrency is making a significant shift that could reshape the global market. The once-dominant American market is seeing a possible repositioning of the centerpoint of crypto to Asia, with the Hong Kong crypto market emerging as a front-runner. With its pioneering steps towards becoming the first licensed crypto exchange to offer retail trading, Hong Kong is not only aiming to attract established cryptocurrencies but also paving the way for next-generation meme coins like DogeMiyagi (MIYAGI).

Hong Kong Crypto: Pioneering A Crypto-Friendly Future

Asia, with its tech-savvy population and economic prowess, has emerged as one of the influential players in cryptocurrency dynamics. Hong Kong, known for its global connectivity and economic dynamism is taking center stage for the transformative shift. Hong Kong’s crypto-friendly ecosystem is an enticing haven for investors, projects, and digital assets.

A pivotal moment in the Hong Kong Crypto journey towards dominance has been granting licenses to established players like Hashkey Exchange and OSL Digital Securities for licensed crypto trading. This strategic movement not only diversifies their offerings but also caters to the surging demand from retail investors seeking regulated cryptocurrency platforms.

Stifled By U.S Regulations: A Chokepoint For Progress

The increasing SEC regulations in the crypto market have kickstarted discussions and debates within the crypto community, highlighting the challenges that arise in striking a balance between innovation and investor protection. While it is important to safeguard investors’ money and maintain market integrity, it is also limiting opportunities for innovation and the development of new technologies. With higher regulations, the future of crypto trading in the U.S. remains uncertain.

The Shaping Of A New Epicenter

The Web3 industry in the United States has become agile as the U.S. regulators take a restrictive approach towards cryptocurrencies. Many projects, including Coinbase, plan on leaving the country due to the current hostile environment. Hong Kong posies and a natural location for cryptocurrencies to flourish and the recent developments with Hashkey Exchange and OSL Digital Securities have put for a step in the right direction attracting both experienced traders and newcomers to the crypto space.

Forging New Paths In The Evolving Terrain

The rise of cryptocurrency hubs in Asia, especially in Hong Kong, will create a potential market opening for unique cryptocurrencies like DogeMiyagi. DogeMiyagi’s potential lies in its fusion of entertainment and sophisticated token utility. Inspired by Doge and Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid himself, DogeMiyagi has its roots already in Asia.

The token model encourages long-term holding, promoting value appreciation for investors. The project’s support of charitable causes fosters a sense of community trust and social responsibility.

The SEC crypto regulations have thrown out many market speculations and uncertainty over the future of cryptocurrencies in America. Meanwhile, Hong Kong emerges as the new centerpoint for crypto, establishing itself with a crypto-friendly approach. By granting licenses to established players like Hashkey Exchange and OSL Digital Securities, the Hong Kong Crypto market has taken a huge step to become the first licensed crypto exchange to offer retail crypto trading. As the Asian market emerges as a beacon of hope in the midst of regulatory changes, projects like DogeMiyagi (MIYAGI) see the potential to explode in the global market. With its presale currently live, investors have an early opportunity to steer their cryptocurrency ship in the right direction.

WhatsApp Rolls Out New Feature in India That Enables Users Pay Businesses From Within The App

Meta-owned social messaging platform WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature in India that allows users to pay businesses, using a variety of payment options from within the app.

This announcement was made by Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the company’s second Annual Conversations conference held in Mumbai.

While speaking on the newly launched payment feature, Zuckerberg said the company has partnered with PayU and Bengaluru-headquartered Razorpay to add support for payments via credit and debit cards, net banking, and all UPI apps in India.

In his words,

“India is a country that is at the forefront of a lot of what we are going to talk about today. India is leading the world in terms of how people and businesses have embraced messaging as the better way to get things done. This payment feature is going to make it even easier for people to pay Indian businesses within a WhatsApp chat using whatever method they prefer”.

WhatsApp rollout of a new payment feature in India is coming as the platform has enjoyed unrivaled reach in the fifth-largest economy in the world for years. With more than 500 million users in India online on WhatsApp, the country is Meta’s largest globally.

WhatsApp first introduced its payment services built atop of UPI in India in 2020 in a pilot that was expanded to 100 million users last year.

To date, the social messaging platform has limited end-to-end shopping experiences in India to pilot programs like that with the online grocery service JioMart.

The launch of the new payment feature will bolster Meta’s plan for business messaging to become the next major pillar of the company’s sales growth, an agenda that has assumed greater urgency at Meta’s core ads business.

With some 300 million people spending about $180 billion via India’s UPI each month, the new transaction options could serve as a powerful lure to attract businesses to pay Meta for access to WhatsApp users. The company is now looking to capitalize on its popularity and widespread adoption to drive monetization from the world’s largest messaging app.

WhatsApp launch of a new payment feature in India comes after the platform on September 20, 2023, launched a new feature called ‘Flows’, that would enable businesses to improve their customer service and enhance the in-app shopping experience for users.

With the launch of Flows, businesses on WhatsApp can offer users more experiences like booking a train seat, ordering a meal, or booking an appointment, which can be done all over a chat.

Nigeria’s Fuel Subsidy Returns As Dollar, Oil Prices Rise

The stability of petrol pump prices in Nigeria amidst the rise in oil prices and the naira’s continuous fall in the forex market support reports that the federal government is back paying subsidies for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).

Brent Crude price stood at $94.20 per barrel while WTI Crude and Bonny Light sold for $91.26 and $97.17 respectively on Wednesday. The price surge has yielded an excess gain of about $20 above Nigeria’s $75 2023 oil benchmark – a development expected to have shot up the price of petrol above N800 per liter in Nigeria.

Also, the naira’s depreciation in the exchange market has seen the dollar rising by 2.93%, selling at N983/$1 as of Wednesday afternoon.

Oil marketers last month when the naira was trading at N945/$1, warned that petrol prices would hit N680 per liter and N720 per liter as the dollar rises.

“Once there is a slack in the naira against the dollar, there is going to be an effect. The demand and supply of forex is a key factor. We should also understand that it is not only petroleum products that use forex,” the National Public Relations Officer, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chief Chinedu Ukadike, was quoted by The Punch as saying.

“Other manufacturers who import one thing or the other are also searching for dollars. So, the surge for dollars has continued to increase. So now that the dollar is hitting N910 to N940, and approaching N1,000, you should expect to buy PMS at the rate of N750/liter.

“It is simple mathematics, once the dollar is going up, have it in mind that the prices of petroleum products would definitely increase because the products are dollar-driven,” he added.

The stability of petrol pump prices amid the surge in oil prices and the decline of the naira has been fingered as credence that the government is silently paying subsidies through the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC).

In August, the NNPC issued a statement, allaying fears that the price of petrol was about to rise further to N720 per liter, following a threat by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) to embark on a nationwide strike. The company said it has no plan to increase PMS pump prices as widely speculated, urging Nigerians to “buy the best quality products at the most affordable prices at NNPC Retail Stations nationwide.”

Against this backdrop, experts believe that there is more to the fuel subsidy removal than meets the eye, even though the federal government has maintained that the subsidy has been totally removed and that it does not plan to reintroduce it.

“The PMS subsidy was removed. Thus NNPC sold at total market prices, that’s why FAAC got almost a trillion naira. Then President BAT [Bola Ahmed Tinubu] promised “no new price hikes”, thus subsidy payments were reintroduced to keep local prices stable, economist, Kalu Aja said. “Stay factual. The problem with all these is that there is no FGN or Federation document removing, replacing, or even amending PMS subsidy; all we have as official documentation is the NNPC Pricing memo.”

The reinstatement of the fuel subsidy was confirmed by a report of the Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), which stated that the NNPC used $220m out of the $275m it received as dividends payable to Nigeria, to pay petrol subsidy. The report added that the NNPC held back $55m for unexplained reasons.

Earlier this month, The Guardian reported that a significant monthly loss of about N318 billion (approximately N10.6 billion daily) is currently being incurred on petrol, and this may be categorized as under-recovery by NNPC Limited. This situation mirrors a previous scenario that occurred during the former administration of Muhammadu Buhari, where the government covertly reinstated fuel subsidies and labeled them as under-recovery in the books of the NNPC.

Some analysts believe that considering Nigeria’s current economic situation, Nigerians cannot afford to buy petrol at international rates. Thus, they have called for targeted subsidy.

“Sadly I concede that PMS subsidy is here to stay. The Nigerian people will not accept pain at the fuel pumps if the politicians do not share that pain with them. Unless oil prices recede, 100% PMS removal is a dream.

“My position had been that not all Nigerians should pay full price for energy, the subsidy must be targeted at the poor and vulnerable and the strategic job-creating sectors in Nigeria e.g. textiles and agriculture,” Aja said, adding that no one will argue if farmers are subsidized with cheap fuel if that leads to cheaper food.

The Miracle of Huawei Mate 60 Pro And What Nigeria Must Learn from China

Things happen but you would not have expected that Huawei could come back within years, to be put in the same bucket as Apple, considering that it was on ground zero about two years ago. Yes, Huawei Mate 60 Pro is now seen as a generation leading smartphone for some remarkable breakthroughs it has inside it: “Huawei’s chip breakthrough poses new threat to Apple in China”, CNBC wrote.

Across the industry, the question is this: how did Huawei execute this? Some may explain the success away, arguing that Huawei bypassed Western sanctions, while others will posit that Huawei had inherent capabilities which morphed under sanctions, to ascend to its evolving greatness.

In the Igbo Nation, we say that  “mberede ka eji ama dike”  which loosely translates to “you know who a brave person is when the person is confronted with unforeseen problems, and that person is able to tackle them”.  Huawei did not achieve anything that even Africans could not achieve. What is remarkable here is simple: even during peacetime, the government of China, and Huawei in particular, are able to rise to overcome their challenges.

During the Biafran war, all the technical professors in University of Nigeria Nsukka became legends. They designed bombs, grenades, rockets, etc. In short, they designed a refinery to refine crude oil. 

Prof Gordian Ezekwe led the Rocket Group under Biafran Research and Production Directorate (that was Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc in one). The accomplishment is uncommon as they not only designed the systems, they designed production systems, and manufactured the stuff, while under sanctions and blockade, which made it impossible to even import salt. Prof Njoku Obi while under the sanctions invented a vaccine which the WHO approved for the treatment of cholera. That vaccine was later used during the Kano 1970s cholera outbreak.

Why this deviation? I just want to tell everyone in Nigeria and Africa that we have these inherent capabilities. The Biafran war showed that we have everything. The real challenge is how we can innovate and lead during peacetime the ingenuity and unbelievable brilliance demonstrated during the war. For China and Huawei, they do not need wars to break the periwinkle to get the gems of cryolite, and that is the Huawei Miracle.

:”A new smartphone from Huawei Technologies could threaten Apple’s dominance in China, CNBC reports. The phone, called the Mate 60 Pro, has a semiconductor chip that’s apparently 5G capable — which, if true, represents either a breakthrough achievement or a violation of U.S. trade restrictions. The U.S. cut off the Chinese tech giant’s access to 5G chipmaking technologies in 2019, prompting questions about how Huawei was able to make a 5G chip and whether it can scale production of the Mate 60 Pro enough to turn a profit. The stakes could be significant, since Apple’s market share in China is about 20%. ”

  • Huawei’s latest smartphone, the Mate 60 Pro, has a chip that appears to support 5G.
  • This despite U.S. sanctions that have sought to cut the Chinese tech giant off from the technology.
  • The chip, made by China’s SMIC, has sparked concern in Washington and raised questions about how it was possible.
  • A resurgent Huawei could pose a challenge to Apple in China, one of the U.S. company’s biggest markets.

Comment 1: People who built airstrip, bombs and a refinery in wartime obviously can do much more in peacetime. But Nigeria is not a real place, here the politics is more important than development, so what you see are people who are incapable of doing anything grandstanding that they must be in charge, thereby keeping everyone on the ground.

If you have a medical issue, you go see a doctor, and if you want to build, you go see an engineer. But in Nigeria, when it comes to governance and development, you bring those who never excelled in anything humans admire and revere. And somehow the delusion continues that we will get it right, no, you are never going to get it right, because what will make it right is right there staring at you.

We know how to cite other people’s cases and their commitment to excellence, but magically become numb and hysterical when asked to demonstrate same on homefront.

Dishonest people are never going to advance, and Nigeria is filled with dishonest and unscrupulous creatures.
