Top Crypto Exchange Gemini Helps New Cryptos Like Big Eyes Coin & FightOut With Its New Platform

0

April is coming to an end, so you can be assured that this article is not an April Fool’s joke. Something very interesting could be happening in crypto very soon and it’s all thanks to the Facebook-famous Winklevoss Twins. Well, more accurately, a platform they founded.

Gemini is one of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world and their latest move could see them pass even Binance in relevance right now, though more importantly, it could see some of the more unique new crypto on the market receive more visibility than ever before. But what is it that Gemini is doing, and how does this benefit projects like Big Eyes Coin (BIG) and FightOut (FGHT)? 

What is Big Eyes Coin?

The upcoming finale of the Big Eyes Coin (BIG) presale on June 3rd has been making waves in the market, with the new meme coin already raising over $34 million. This is a remarkable achievement for a presale and the trend is expected to continue until the end. The coin’s unique presentation, charitable goals, and an upcoming NFT collection have contributed to its impressive performance.

As a meme coin entering the market after the boom, Big Eyes Coin faced tough competition from established players with years of market experience. However, the project has proven to be solid, and its supportive community has played a critical role in its success.

The success of Big Eyes can be attributed to its tokenomics, which are both lucrative and rewarding to its community. The presale has demonstrated the project’s viability and has created excitement among investors.

Moreover, the coin’s philanthropic goals have resonated with many investors. The project plans to use a portion of its profits to fund charitable initiatives, which has endeared it to many investors who see the coin as a way to contribute to a worthy cause while also making a profit.

Big Eyes is also set to release an NFT collection that promises to be unlike any other. This has created anticipation among investors, and many are eagerly waiting for the release of the collection. With such a unique selling proposition, the coin is expected to attract even more investors, which will contribute to its continued success.

For a limited time until the presale ends, you can use the presale’s final bonus code, END300, and earn 300% extra tokens on top of your purchase.

What is FightOut?

FightOut (FGHT) is a unique web3 platform that aims to revolutionise the way people approach fitness by combining it with the power of cryptocurrency. The platform is designed to help users become the best version of themselves by tracking their progress and rewarding them with tokens.

FightOut is not just about tracking your fitness journey; it’s about providing users with a comprehensive experience that includes a variety of different activities. Users can earn tokens in various ways, such as by completing fitness challenges, sharing their progress on social media, or even participating in virtual competitions in the metaverse.

The use of cryptocurrency in the FightOut platform is significant because it incentivizes users to achieve their fitness goals. By rewarding users with tokens, FightOut is providing a tangible way for users to see the progress they have made and the value they have created for themselves.

The ultimate goal of FightOut is to create a physical gym where users can come together, socialise, and motivate each other as they work out. The gym will act as a hub for the community, providing a space for people to connect and engage with each other.

Gemini’s New Platform Helps the Little Guys

Gemini will be stepping into the world of derivative trading with its new derivatives platform, one that will exclude Gemini’s native US from those who can access its services.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been cracking down on cryptocurrency exchanges, and its stance towards crypto derivatives has been particularly harsh. Gemini’s CEO, Tyler Winklevoss, has stated that the company has “been considering launching a derivatives platform for a while, but the regulatory environment in the US has made it difficult to do so”.

The new platform is expected to offer a range of cryptocurrency derivatives, including futures, options, and swaps. These financial instruments will allow investors to hedge their crypto holdings and speculate on the price movements of various projects.

The launch of this platform could potentially have a significant impact on up-and-coming cryptos, such as Big Eyes Coin and FightOut. Although these projects have already achieved impressive success, they still lack a significant market presence.

The launch of Gemini’s derivatives platform could be the catalyst they need to establish themselves in the market. By offering futures contracts, the platform could create a more robust market for these tokens and increase their exposure to a broader audience.

The Great Compromise: How Roger Sherman Inspired a New Course for America’s Democracy at the 1787 Constitutional Convention

0

In late May 1787 shortly after the subjugation of the British Colonial Government in America, 55 American delegates including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison etc met at the state house in Philadelphia Pennsylvania to decide a constitutional framework for the new Republic. There were currently 13 States of the Republic. Part of the focal points of the Constitutional convention was to avoid the flaws of the moribund articles of confederation which had created a weak centre and too powerful component regions.

The delegates led by George Washington went into serious debate, and lots of compromises were made. Virtually all the delegates agreed that the national government must be made stronger. Many believed that with just a few changes the articles of the confederation could actually be improved upon and be made to achieve the same goal. However, delegates like James Madison, Edward Randolph and George Mason from Virginia felt that the articles must be completely discarded and an entirely new constitution should be drafted.

The Virginia delegates argue that in the new draft, congress should have more powers than the states; the national government should have an executive branch to implement laws created by the Congress and a judicial branch to interpret the laws. It was also proposed in the Virginia plan that states with larger population should have more representatives in congress than smaller states.

However, the idea that states with larger population should have more power was contested by the delegates of the small states. William Peterson of New Jersey argued that each state irrespective of the size should have the same number of representatives at the congress to avoid unequal distribution of power among the states. His argument:

‘’There is no more reason that a great individual state, contributing much, should have much votes than a small one, contributing little, than a rich individual citizen should have more votes than a poor one.’’

The debate continued until a compromise was reached. Roger Sherman of Connecticut suggested that congress should be made up of two houses; one to be called the Senate and the other to be called the House of Representatives. In the Senate, each and every state would be represented by two senators. Hence, the state would be equal in power at the senate. However, in the House of Representatives, population would determine the number of representatives each state had. Thus, large state would have more representatives than small states.

After a critical review of Roger Sherman’s proposition, the convention finally agreed to it, and it was referred to as the Great Compromise

Price control on consumer goods in Nigeria

0

The Nigerian market is free and mostly unregulated. A market where prices of goods are not controlled or regulated by the government. Sellers and producers of consumers goods are allowed to peg their prices wherever tickles them and wherever satisfies their greedy urge, they are only forced to readjust the price by competitors or by other market factors and never by the Nigeria government, unlike other countries where the government mandates services providers and sellers on the price range they are to peg for a product or service. 

The reason why price control is important in every consumer market is that human beings are naturally greedy and in a free market, especially a market where there is no competition or where there are high demands that surpass the supply, there will always be a strong urge to take advantage of consumers’ desperation and rip them off. Some desperate consumers can pay anything for a service or product out of desperation even when they know that they are being ripped off by the service providers.

In choice cities like Abuja, Lagos or Port Harcourt, landlords and house owners charge arbitrarily for rent on houses with the perception that if a particular tenant cannot afford to pay the rent, there are other tenants who are willing to pay whatever rent that is fixed on the house because of the high demand of houses in those cities.

Transport companies as well do raise their fare arbitrarily, without any control or regulations. I learnt that Good is Good Motors just because they are the market leaders in terms of road transportation in Nigeria does charge passengers arbitrarily because they know that passengers are eager to desperately pay any fare for their transport services hence why they are taking advantage of desperate passengers. I was shocked to the bone when I was told that GIG Motors charges the whooping sum of N30,000 for a one-way ride from Lagos to Abuja, while other road transport companies charge within the range of N10,000- N15,000.

Well, we actually have in Nigeria a price control board, an agency under the Federal Ministry of Commerce and Industry and we also have the federal consumer protection commission (FCPC). The primary statutory duties of these agencies are to protect consumers, make sure they are not being cheated or ripped off by producers and service providers and fix prices for some popular basic consumer goods.

The price control act of 2004 was specifically enacted to control and regulate how service providers fix the price of their goods and services and curtail the arbitrary charge fixed by market leaders. This act in its section 1 established the price control board to oversee these functions. This act as well established price control measures which is aimed at ensuring that Nigerians have access to basic services and products at affordable prices.

But it really does appear that these agencies have been sleeping on duty. Most Nigerians do not even know that there are government agencies that have been charged to control prices and are also charged to prosecute service providers who charge exorbitant prices. They need to be more proactive now than before because producers and service providers due to the economic hardship and high cost of raw materials are shifting all the burden; both tax and price burden to the final consumers.

You as a consumer also have a part to play. Once you feel that you are being ripped off by a service provider or by a seller, you should contact or report to the FCPC or the Price Control Board.

Techies: Make Abia Home, Tech Thrives in Abia

0

Innovators, builders, makers and entrepreneurs in the Abia Technology & Innovation Network (ATIN), I want to publicly thank all for the vision which all of you have articulated, and shared with us, as we work to craft a great vision for Abia State. In many conversations with Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti, he noted that he wants Abia to be a home for all techies.

In the next coming days, I will be meeting all of you to understand and know how Abia can become a destination for the development, application and deployment of modern technology in Africa. We want to serve and meet your needs, expectations and perceptions, because we want all of you!

Nigeria’s GDP is about $0.5 trillion. We are about 220 million people. The GDP of the United States is about $24 trillion for 330 million people. Do they have four heads? No. At parity, the GDP of Nigeria should not be less than $3 trillion and the implication is that everything we have now should be 6x multiple. So, you have 6 Dangotes, 6 Elumelus, 6 Innoson Motors, 6 Lagos and 6 “Everything”. To join the ATIN network, contact Tochukwu Clinton Chukwueke; he is based in Aba and runs Clintonel Innovation Centre.

As we welcome the ATIN techies, we’re also reaching out to Startup Founders who want to make Abia a part of their homes. Franklin Peters (FIMS), CEO of BoundlessPay, is coordinating that. Abia has the market and we’re a hub to serve many states. We need you in God’s Own State! #MakeAbiaHome.
