Although investors are interested in projects’ technology and their innovative solutions, they are also equally interested in the profits to be made. Sparklo offers investors these and many more, which we will explore in this article.

Sparklo (SPRK) offers fractional and complete ownership of real-world assets

Investments in silver, gold and platinum wouldn’t be more seamless or easier than they would be with Sparklo. The innovative idea built on blockchain technology will enable fractional or complete investment in NFTs backed by real-world precious assets. The purchase of fractionalized NFTs will result in fractional investment in rare metals, whereas the complete purchase of the NFT will result in total, physical ownership.

The presale is ongoing and costs only $0.022. Furthermore, there is a 50% bonus on all purchases for investors aiming to be early to the project. In addition, the benefits of being early to Sparklo will see investors riding the early wave of its surge, which experts have predicted will reach 2,000% by the end of the year.

The team’s token will be locked for 1,000 days and liquidity will be locked for a lifetime to avoid rug pulling and its fear. In addition, by auditing the KYC and the completed smart contract audit by InterFi Network, investment is secure and guaranteed.

Fantom’s (FTM) recent spike in price is a weak attempt at a rally

Fantom (FTM) is a smart contract platform providing DeFi services to developers. The Fantom (FTM) platform is home to numerous builders, with a new milestone just on the horizon. In a tweet recently released, it was announced that Fantom (FTM) is just 5 protocols away from reaching 300 protocols built on the ecosystem.

Although Fantom (FTM) has been in a bearish decline for the most part of 2023, attempts at a rally, albeit weak, have been made by the bulls. Fantom (FTM) is currently trading at $0.38 and experiencing a 0.7% and 2.48% spike in the past 24 hours and 7 days, respectively, at the time of writing. While Fantom (FTM) might experience a significant surge in the future, we recommend seeking out better projects with more growth potential.

The Sandbox’s (SAND) current surge is likely to be followed by a significant price reversal

The Sandbox (SAND) is a virtual gaming world aiming to improve gaming experiences. In a tweet recently posted, The Sandbox (SAND) reached an incredible milestone by completing 1 million gasless transactions with the help of Biconomy.

The Sandbox (SAND) is currently on a 5.94% surge at the time of writing to push its price to $0.52. The surge in The Sandbox (SAND) price is maintained on the 7-day chart, as it is up by 4.3% at the time of press. The current surge in The Sandbox (SAND) is in the wake of a significant bearish decline. Although The Sandbox (SAND) is presently in an uptrend, we believe that it won’t last for long or be significant. The Sparklo presale offers a better return on investment and we believe in its significant growth potential.

Hotbit Announces Closure of its Exchange Services

Hotbit, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has announced that it will end its exchange service by the end of this month. The decision comes after a series of regulatory challenges and security breaches that have affected the platform’s operations and reputation.

Hotbit through a tweet said that it will focus on its other businesses, such as blockchain development and consulting, and that it will provide a smooth transition for its existing customers.

Hotbit thanked its loyal users and partners for their support and cooperation over the years and apologized for any inconvenience caused by the closure. Hotbit also assured that it will comply with all legal obligations and protect the rights and interests of its customers and stakeholders. Hotbit also encouraged its users to withdraw their assets from the exchange as soon as possible, and to contact its customer service team for any questions or issues.

However, following WikiCatCoin recent listing partnership with Hotbit Exchange, SMCDAO has wrote to the community for members who have their $WKC stored on the exchange should by virtue of necessity withdraw their assets to a more secured decentralized infrastructure pending when SMC Wallet is available for usage.

WikiCatCoin Statements on HotBit Winding Up

It has come to our attention that Hotbit will be ceasing all centralized exchange (CEX) operations starting from May 22, UTC 04:00. We strongly advise all Wiki Cat users who have funds on Hotbit to withdraw their assets before June 21, UTC 04:00.

Hotbit has been a valued exchange in the crypto industry for over five years, serving millions of users worldwide. However, due to several factors, the decision to halt CEX operations has been made.

The first reason behind this decision is the deteriorating operating conditions. Following the Hotbit management team’s temporary suspension of operations in August 2022, the industry has faced various crises, including the FTX collapse and bank crises resulting in fund outflows from CEX platforms. These events have put a strain on Hotbit’s cash flow and overall operations.

The second reason is the evolving trend in the crypto industry. The collapse of centralized institutions has pushed the industry towards two paths: embracing regulation or embracing decentralization. The Hotbit team believes that CEX platforms are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to comply with in terms of both regulation and decentralization. They foresee the long-term trend moving away from centralized exchanges.

Hotbit has been known for its extensive range of assets and value-added services. They were pioneers in listing emerging assets like SHIB, KSM, GRIN, and more. Additionally, they were the first to offer staking services and conduct Defi mining using Compound. However, due to the industry’s uncertainty and the risks involved, supporting such a diverse range of assets has become unsustainable from a risk management perspective.

We understand that this news may come as a disappointment, but it is important to take the necessary steps to secure your assets.

LinkedIn Rolls Out New Verification Features on Job Posts to Enhance Platform Safety

Business and employment-focused social media platform LinkedIn has rolled out new verification features on job posts, to enhance platform safety.

The platform will begin to show verifications on job postings, displaying verified information about a job poster or their company, which will help users determine whether they are applying for a legitimate job or not.

When users see verifications on job posts, that means there is information that has been verified as authentic by the job poster, LinkedIn, or one of its partners. The verified information will show whether the poster is affiliated with an official company page, has verified their work email or workplace, or their government ID was verified through CLEAR, which is a secure identity platform.

The company wrote via a blog post,

“When you see verifications on job posts, that means there is information that has been verified as authentic by the job poster, LinkedIn, or one of our partners.

“We’re showing these verifications to help you feel confident in your search and give recruiters the opportunity to build trust with potential candidates. Verifications on job postings are just rolling out, and as we expand access to our free verification tools, you’ll see even more across the jobs you’re exploring.”

LinkedIn noted that verifications on job postings have just started rolling out, so while users may not see them yet, the tools will be more prevalent as the company expands access. In the meantime, the platform has urged users to check out tips on how to spot and avoid suspicious job postings.

This feature comes in very handy as LinkedIn is working tirelessly to get rid of spam accounts that have spread on the platform, and to also ensure that users’ safety is guaranteed.

LinkedIn is also integrating more artificial intelligence features into the platform to make it easier for users to find jobs and offer a better service. Recall that the platform integrated a new tool that helps users enhance their profiles with AI-generated writing suggestions as well as helping them save time and energy by generating job description texts.

The new feature helps users create appealing “about” and “headline” sections based on their background and strong sides. AI identifies the most important skills and experiences to highlight on users profile and generates a suitable text to make their profile stand out.

Last month, LinkedIn introduced new ways to verify users identity and where they work. Unlike with Twitter and Meta, LinkedIn’s new verification measures don’t include paid subscriptions or blue checkmarks. The social media platform said it believes verification should be available for everyone, which is why its verification features will be available to all users for free.

Battling for the Soul of Microchips – US vs China

By

If you ever have to design microchips, you must also write a special type of software which makes it possible for hardware to talk to software.  There are many levels here. You have the BIOS (or loosely firmware) which is the elemental software that enables microprocessors to boot up before they handshake to other software. From the BIOS, you get to the operating systems like Windows before you can get to applications like Microsoft Office, Chrome, etc.

If you are making sensors like webcams you need to make firmware that will make it possible for the hardware to be recognized by another level of software. This is the most important part of the technology industry because if you cannot get this working, everything built on top will crash. In short, you cannot even build anything because you will have no product. 

Before Facebook Likes, before the photos on Instagram, before the search on Google, and indeed everything we do in the world of online computing, what happens in those microchips’ firmware defines all. 

And in that firmware, many bad things could be done. Yes, the person who controls firmware controls national security. This is where China and the USA are battling because when they inspect those chips, they see “codes” they do not like. Today, China is after Micron, a maker of memory chips.

China is making a retaliatory move that will see the products of US memory chip company, Micron Technology, banned in the country.

Beijing on Sunday declared the products of Micron Technology a “national security” risk, escalating its tech war with Washington. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said during the announcement that Micron poses “serious network security risks”.

It may not have to do with anything Micron has there; simply, China is returning the love the US has given Huawei. The 21st century will be defined on the terms these two countries construct as the animosity moves into a stable state!

Comment on Feed

Comment 1: The legendary and most experienced diplomat out there, Henry Kissinger, who will turn 100 later this week, was interviewed by The Economist recently, his take on US-China relation is something to pay close attention to. Whether it’s AI or semiconductor, how both nations manage their differences will define the next phase of our world.

The people we see as adults and call world leaders aren’t really good at leading anyone, and that is why our world is getting messier. Don’t trust any of these creatures to make sound judgments, they are never very far from chaos.

If you push too much and the other person miscalculates, then everything will go wrong from there.

Comment 2: Prof. Sir, the teacher part of you explained microchips so plainly that even a primary school pupil can understand.
This so-called chips story in started with Donald Trump administration where Huawei was accused of comprising the security of American at the chip level in their equipment used in American. China responded by launching a an android-likw mobile OS called harmony. Many of the phones used in Nigeria and other African countries that are presumed to be using Android OS are actually using the Harmony operating system. Samsung phones are few of the popular brands that use Google’s Android OS.
