Litecoin (LTC) Braves Market Bears

Litecoin (LTC) has managed to perform strongly amid the prevailing bearish conditions. The key reason behind this positive performance is an increase in the adoption of Litecoin (LTC). Subsequently, the hash rate of Litecoin (LTC) has also jumped.

Recently, Litecoin (LTC) started its Litecoin Card Program across Europe. Litecoin (LTC) was created with the specific goal of addressing the shortcomings of the Bitcoin network, such as transaction speed, scalability, and high fees.

The price of Litecoin (LTC) has risen by more than 1% in the last 24 hours at the time of writing. However, it has fallen by 9% on the monthly chart. Consequently, Litecoin (LTC) currently trades at $90.06, which is 78.19% below its all-time high of $412.96.

Investors Increase Ripple (XRP) Accumulation

As the final verdict in the Ripple (XRP) versus SEC lawsuit is around the corner, the crypto community is betting in favor of the blockchain network. Many prominent personalities have opined that Ripple (XRP) will emerge victorious in this legal battle because SEC’s approach against cryptocurrencies has been arbitrary.

Ripple (XRP) is a digital currency that was created to allow expeditious international payments. Ripple (XRP) focuses on integration with existing financial systems, and becoming an attractive choice for banks worldwide.

Currently, Ripple (XRP) is ranked 6th by market capitalization. The price of Ripple (XRP) has suffered a fall of 8% in the last 30 days. As a result, Ripple (XRP) is available to trade at $0.536, which is 86.04% below its all-time high of $3.84.

Collateral Network (COLT) Makes Way For 35x Return On Investments

Collateral Network (COLT) is a blockchain-powered new-age crowdlending platform that connects lenders and borrowers. On Collateral Network (COLT), anyone can use physical assets and unlock liquidity from them in order to receive loans. People can secure loans against their tangible assets on Collateral Network (COLT) platform within 24 hours.

Several assets can be mortgaged on this cross-chain network, such as fine wines, real estate, watches or even whiskey which will then be minted into fractionalised NFTs representing the asset which lenders will lend small amounts of money to in order to raise the loan funds at an agreed interest rate and time scale. Borrowers will then repay the loan to the lenders once raised where the NFT will then be burned and asset returned. But if this fails, the asset is sold at auction to recoup the lenders’ funds.

The Collateral Network (COLT) usability is not restricted by geographical boundaries. Borrowers and lenders from various parts of the world can mutually finalize the terms of the loans on Collateral Network (COLT). The market value of the mortgaged physical assets is determined by the internal team of Collateral Network (COLT) upon authentication. The platform is equipped with a cutting-edge 2FA security feature, artificial intelligence, and audited smart contracts to seamlessly execute the lending-borrowing processes.

COLT tokens will run the ecosystem of the Collateral Network, which has three elements: Auctions, Crowdlending and Marketplace. Currently, you can lock your presale COLT tokens at just $0.01. According to experts, this is the best time to buy COLT tokens as their price is expected to rise by 3500%, to $0.35, during presale.

Presale COLT tokens come with exclusive benefits like access to the VIP members club and 50% bonus tokens. Only 38% of the total 1.4 billion COLT tokens will be sold during the presale of the network.

The Construct of Fintechnolization and the Expected Musk’s Twitter Digital Bank

0

Every great digital platform has a stable state of offering a financial solution. I called that fintechnolization: “a construct that every digital platform must have a maturity state of offering a fintech solution. I had watched all great digital platforms on how they ended up providing fintech solutions even when they began in an unrelated sector.” 

The idea that Elon Musk has a digital banking playbook as part of Twitter 2.0 is superb: “Behind Elon Musk’s gamble to turn Twitter Inc. into a company worth more than $250 billion is a beloved idea he has hung on to for more than two decades: digital banking. The billionaire entrepreneur has talked in dribs and drabs about what Twitter 2.0 might ultimately look like under his control. But late last week, he gave employees a taste of how grandiose his plans are, telling them he envisions Twitter being worth more than 10 times its current value of around $20 billion.”

Yes, it has not started this banking future at scale, as LinkedIn News noted: “The idea stems from Musk’s first startup, X.com, which eventually morphed into PayPal. But so far, Twitter has only filed paperwork with the U.S. Treasury to become a payments processor, and has yet to register for a license in states it wants to do business in”

Looking at Chinese digital platforms (Tencent, Alibaba) and US counterparts (Google, Facebook), my conclusion is this: every platform will become a fintech company at the end. So, I do want to see how Tekedia would become an investment club, a lending ecosystem, etc, at the lowest marginal cost, to members and readers in the ecosystem.  This construct tracks the recent trajectories of Facebook and Google. Alibaba and Tencent have validated my thesis as I have studied their evolutions and revolutions in the markets.

Why we were not at Paris Blockchain Week

AKA. Surviving a Bear Market.

No.. this is not a graph of the fortunes of 9ja Cosmos.

This is a recent coin graph of another blockchain related business, which I won’t name.

They are winding up. A quote from the notice said:

‘As we have built the entirety of our tech stack, it comes with expensive operational costs of $50,000 USD per month’

I’m taking that to mean the operational costs of their platform; not the total costs of running their business.

It doesn’t seem a lot of money, when its considered Facebook lost millions for years and still made it. Now in this current age, Meta are seriously curtailing their immersive product ambitions, if not mothballing them indefinitely.

Back to the company in the graph: ‘ ….we have so far been unsuccessful in raising additional capital to enable us to grow….

Despite our best efforts, several deals that were in the pipeline did not come to fruition, which has left us unable to continue…’

It’s getting to be a bit repetitive and predictable in the blockchain space isn’t it?
Ventures get a pot of money, they operate at a loss on ‘wing and a prayer’ growth projections that are not based on any flavour of sane normality, and still, they expect another round of funding to descend with angels.

Why?

If they were not deliberate, measured and frugal with the first injection, why would they expect to be trusted with another one that is bigger?

As founder of 9ja Cosmos which on 13 September 2022 – Launched the first ever Web 3 Country Top Level Domain (ccTLD) in the world – .9jacom for Nigeria… I am running a bootstrapped business.

The last time I spent money on something for 9ja Cosmos benefit was October last year (around $300). Now the venture has to sustain itself.

I won’t give it a dime. Its’ ‘baby’ period is over. Time to grow up.

It may have growth challenges but it isn’t posting losses.

A lot of people ask me why I wasn’t in Paris Blockchain Week this month.

9ja Cosmos can’t afford it. I won’t pay for it myself, so it didn’t get done.

But 9ja Cosmos is still here, and not being in Paris didn’t kill it.

400+ West Africans provided innovation stimulus through region centric Web 3 SLDs (Second Level Domains) since September 2022.

200+ Web 3 TLDs (Top Level Domains) sold in 2023 alone.

Promotion Spend: 0. Community Development Spend: 0.

Naija say cut suit to size cloth.

New tech businesses still need to follow traditional lessons.

Bloomberg Unveils BloombergGPT which outperforms by “significant margins”

0

Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), a type of language model that uses deep learning to generate human-like, has moved into finance at scale. Yet, BloombergGPT has been born: “Bloomberg today released a research paper detailing the development of BloombergGPT, a new large-scale generative artificial intelligence (AI) model. This large language model (LLM) has been specifically trained on a wide range of financial data to support a diverse set of natural language processing (NLP) tasks within the financial industry.”  According to Bloomberg, “BloombergGPT outperforms similarly-sized open models on financial NLP tasks by significant margins — without sacrificing performance on general LLM benchmarks”. AI is taking over this world.

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on LLMs have already demonstrated exciting new applications for many domains. However, the complexity and unique terminology of the financial domain warrant a domain-specific model. BloombergGPT represents the first step in the development and application of this new technology for the financial industry. This model will assist Bloomberg in improving existing financial NLP tasks, such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, news classification, and question answering, among others. Furthermore, BloombergGPT will unlock new opportunities for marshalling the vast quantities of data available on the Bloomberg Terminal to better help the firm’s customers, while bringing the full potential of AI to the financial domain.

For more than a decade, Bloomberg has been a trailblazer in its application of AI, Machine Learning, and NLP in finance. Today, Bloomberg supports a very large and diverse set of NLP tasks that will benefit from a new finance-aware language model. Bloomberg researchers pioneered a mixed approach that combines both finance data with general-purpose datasets to train a model that achieves best-in-class results on financial benchmarks, while also maintaining competitive performance on general-purpose LLM benchmarks.

To achieve this milestone, Bloomberg’s ML Product and Research group collaborated with the firm’s AI Engineering team to construct one of the largest domain-specific datasets yet, drawing on the company’s existing data creation, collection, and curation resources. As a financial data company, Bloomberg’s data analysts have collected and maintained financial language documents over the span of forty years. The team pulled from this extensive archive of financial data to create a comprehensive 363 billion token dataset consisting of English financial documents.

This data was augmented with a 345 billion token public dataset to create a large training corpus with over 700 billion tokens. Using a portion of this training corpus, the team trained a 50-billion parameter decoder-only causal language model. The resulting model was validated on existing finance-specific NLP benchmarks, a suite of Bloomberg internal benchmarks, and broad categories of general-purpose NLP tasks from popular benchmarks (e.g., BIG-bench Hard, Knowledge Assessments, Reading Comprehension, and Linguistic Tasks). Notably, the BloombergGPT model outperforms existing open models of a similar size on financial tasks by large margins, while still performing on par or better on general NLP benchmarks.

The Interpreter and The Lessons from Great Planners and Implementers of Dreams

He had a dream: “seven cows came out of the river and stood there eating grass. They were healthy, good-looking cows. Then seven more cows came out of the river and stood on the bank of the river by the healthy cows. But these cows were thin and looked sick. The seven sick cows ate the seven healthy cows.” And Pharaoh was  troubled because none of his thinkers, strategists and astrologers could interpret this dream.

Ancient Egypt was unrivaled in knowledge and wealth. It had the best “universities” with the finest thinkers. When Moses was called to lead the Israelites and he appeared before his brethren, they marveled because he had studied under the Pharaohs. Egypt was the home of the world’s greatest leadership and management system. The Pharaoh’s conceived and built engineering wonders, and executed things which remain wonders even in our modern world.

They called Joseph and he interpreted the dream: “It means that you’re going to have seven lean years eventually, but the good news is you’ll have seven good years first.” On the strength of this interpretation, Egypt planned its economy for the next 14 years. In anecdotal non-Biblical data, Egypt was the only country during those years which got things right; others had issues.

Across Africa, we have many modern Josephs: your crude oil will run dry in 30 years; your diamond mines will lose value in 30 years, etc. What are the leaders doing since the dreams have been interpreted? We have many interpreters today but we do not have great planners and implementers of visions. Pharaoh did not just plan, he also executed the plan, and when the famine came, he was able to ensure his people did not suffer.

In your company, what are you doing on those dreams of market changes (petro-yuan, ChatGPT, etc) which have been interpreted by the head of strategy? Learn from Pharaoh: he received the message, and he executed on the message. #action
