Big Eyes Coin And Stacks Show Some Explosive Growth Patterns

0

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) and Stacks (STX) are the latest crypto assets in the market, showing impressive growth patterns in the past few days. Both cryptocurrencies have a clear path to helping holders make some profit in currency market conditions. Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is a huge gainer, and it has shown the prospect it has as soon as it launches. The new memecoin project has raised over $31 million on presale over 11 rounds. It first got the attention of most crypto enthusiasts after it raised $1 million in the first week of presale in what was supposed to be a bear market. Big Eyes Coin (BIG) has introduced a new creative way to buy on presale using loot boxes. Early buyers can now enjoy the presale in a fun way as they get a random amount of BIG tokens from their loot boxes.

The presale is a great entry opportunity for those wanting to be early on something huge. Buying some Big Eyes Coin on presale would be like owning some of your favorite memecoins before the rest of the market caught on.

Stacks(STX) is a new layer-2 solution for the Bitcoin blockchain, and it has been quite impressive over the past few days and could point to some impressive price action.

Stacks(STX) Is On An Impressive Run

Stacks(STX) is an emerging blockchain solution that provides another layer to the Bitcoin blockchain. As a first-generation network, Bitcoin does not support smart contracts, and dApps and Stacks introduce that programmable layer to the network. It enables the creation of smart contracts, dApps, digital assets, and several other contemporary use cases on the network. The network leverages the Bitcoin blockchain for its core process and security. All transactions on Stacks settle on the Bitcoin network as the consensus chain, and mining rewards are paid in Bitcoin, in addition to serving as the reserve asset for the platform.

The inherent constraints of the Bitcoin ecosystem are one of the key issues that Stacks solve. Stacks allies these worries by using the Proof of Transfer consensus method, microblocks, and a brand-new programming language called Clarity. Being the first widely used cryptocurrency, Bitcoin continues to lead the industry. However, the coin was available on the market before smart contracts and DeFi features.

With its impressive trajectory in the past few days, Stacks (STX) has continued to move up the market, and we could see it join some of the largest crypto assets by market cap.

Big Eyes Coin Presale Surges Ahead

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is a new ERC-20 memecoin looking to revitalize the memecoin landscape, and its prospects look even better now that the launch is closer than ever. The memecoin has been on presale for several months and has raised an impressive $31 million in a slow-paced market. Memecoins have shown over time that their momentum can be unaffected by market conditions, while they also have the momentum to cause market excitement and possibly start another bull run.

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is a cat-themed memecoin, and it steps away from overused dog memes while looking to inspire other emerging projects to adopt its cat memes. Creating some new form of comic relief has put the Big Eyes Coin ahead in terms of momentum as the new community buys fully into its narrative, and they are looking to help the project grow and replicate the success of existing top dog memecoins.

Big Eyes Coin is set for launch, and it would be a golden opportunity to secure some tokens while they are still cheap. The presale for any cryptocurrency is the best price you can get, so join the Big Eyes Coin (BIG) presale now.

DAO in Crypto: ApeCoin Community Rejects NFT Proposal and Dogetti Meme Coin Launches

0

What is the mechanism by which Apecoin and Dogetti (DETI) utilize their DAO system to harness the potential of decentralized decision-making?

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have been a fundamental element of the cryptocurrency industry since the beginning, as they allow for community-driven decision-making in the development of various projects within the ecosystem. One recent example of the power of DAOs can be seen in the ApeCoin (APE) community, which rejected a proposal to add two new NFT collections, which aimed to provide greater utility and growth, citing concerns over market oversaturation and dilution of value. This event emphasizes the importance of community-driven governance in the decentralized cryptocurrency industry, where decisions are made with the community’s best interests in mind.

ApeCoin Community Voted Against the Multi-Link Ape NFTs Proposal

The ApeCoin (APE) token is an Ethereum governance token that facilitates decision-making in the APE ecosystem, allowing stakeholders to participate in the governance of various projects, such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Meebits, and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) NFT collections. AIP-206 proposal, presented by Aaron Leupp, aimed to create two new collections, Ape Coin Armoury Club and Ape Coin Pet Club, consisting of a total of 20,000 items, which would have brought ApeCoin into the metaverse and encouraged growth. However, the ApeCoin community rejected the proposal, highlighting the significance of community-driven governance in the decentralized cryptocurrency industry.

The rejection of the Multi-Link Ape NFTs proposal by the ApeCoin community is an important milestone for the cryptocurrency industry, as it demonstrates the importance of community-driven governance in decentralized ecosystems. This is in contrast to traditional finance, where decisions are made by a select group of individuals without community input. Decentralized decision-making promotes transparency and fairness, ensuring that the community’s interests are taken into account.

Dogetti: The Meme Coin That Lets You Have a Say

Dogetti: A Meme Coin with a Unique DAO System for Community Involvement

Another cryptocurrency project that exemplifies the power of DAOs is Dogetti (DETI), a new meme coin that uses a fun mafia dog theme to add a playful twist to the cryptocurrency industry. Dogetti’s DAO system, called Dogetti DAO, provides users with the ability to influence the development and direction of various projects within the ecosystem, promoting transparency and fairness while ensuring that the community’s interests are taken into account.

This combination of a fun meme coin and a useful DAO system offers greater utility and incentivizes growth. The Dogetti DAO, like the ApeCoin DAO, can have a positive impact on the cryptocurrency industry by giving decision-making power to its community members.

The emergence of Dogetti (DETI) as a unique meme coin with a distinct DAO system exemplifies the exciting potential of community-driven governance in the cryptocurrency industry. As more projects prioritize their communities and place them at the center of development, we can expect to see a more transparent and equitable ecosystem that empowers its members. With this optimistic outlook, we can anticipate a bright future for the cryptocurrency industry, driven by the power of decentralized decision-making and community-driven governance.

Nigerian Govt to Disburse $800m to 50m Nigerians As Post-subsidy Palliative

0

The Nigerian government has said it’s set to disburse $800 million it secured from the World Bank to 10 million households across the country as a palliative measure it plans to tackle the effects of fuel subsidy with.

The move was announced on Wednesday by the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, at the State House, during the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The plan was announced amid mounting pressure by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) on the federal government to create a clear-cut post-subsidy palliative measure that will help the Nigerian people to cope with the likely economic hardship that will follow the removal of the fuel subsidy.

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) said last month that fuel prices will go up as much as N400 per liter if the subsidy is removed.

Ahmed had last year announced that the federal government plans to totally remove the subsidy by June 2003. She said the newly-formed Presidential Transition Council has been engaged to carry the incoming administration along for the implementation.

“This is a commitment in the Petroleum Industry Act. There’s a provision that says that 18 months after the effectiveness of the PIA that all petroleum products must be deregulated, that 18 months takes us to June 2023,” the minister said.

“Also, when we were working on the 2023 medium-term expenditure framework and the appropriation act, we made that provision to enable us exit fuel subsidy by June 2023.

“We are on course, we’re having different stakeholder engagements, we’ve secured some funding from the World Bank, that is the first tranche of palliatives that will enable us give cash transfers to the most vulnerable in our society that have now been registered in a national social register.

“Today that register has a list of 10 million households. 10 million households is equivalent to about 50 million Nigerians.

“But we also have to raise more resources to enable us to do more than just the cash transfers and also in our engagements with the various stakeholders, the various kinds of tasks that we have gone beyond the requirement of just giving cash transfers. Labour, for example, might be looking for mass transit for its members.

“So, there are several things that we are still planning and working on, some we can start executing quickly, some are more medium-term implementation.”

The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and others, have long advocated the removal of the fuel subsidy as a way the Nigerian government could save money amid dwindling oil revenue. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) said it spent $10 billion on fuel subsidy in 2022 alone. The NNPCL said in February that it is paying N400 billion monthly to fund the N3.35 trillion petrol subsidy budget expected to end in June.

While the government laments the impact of the subsidy payments, which gulp significant percent of its budgets, it has been restrained by potential NLC’s nationwide strike from removing it without provisions that will cushion the resulting high cost of living.

But Ahmed said this time, the government is ready, and is working to end the fuel subsidy regime in June. She said consultation is ongoing with stakeholders on how to disburse the money.

“$800 million for the scale up of the national social investment programme (NSIP) at the World Bank and it’s secured, it’s ready for this disbursement.

“We are currently engaging with all the stakeholders. We know that various plans are being considered, including the need for buses by the Labour, amongst several other palliative measures,” she said.

However, concerns are being raised about transparency and how long the disbursement of the fund will run. The minister had last year, decried that the federal government was borrowing to pay for fuel subsidy, calling it “double tragedy.” Experts believe that if the palliative plan isn’t well executed, the government may end up borrowing more to ameliorate the impact of the subsidy removal.

FBI Shuts Down Genesis Market for Aiding Cyberfraud

0

In a landmark international crackdown led by the FBI, authorities in several countries have shut down Genesis Market, one of the world’s biggest marketplaces used by online fraudsters to purchase passwords and login credentials.

Genesis harvests data from compromised sites to sell to cyber criminals, who use the information to gain access to users’ accounts.

Since it was founded in 2017, the company has become notorious for selling login details, IP addresses and other personal data that help hackers to access people’s accounts across all platforms, including banks, sometimes, for less than $1.

In the notorious June 2021 breach of Electronic Arts, the hackers who breached the gaming giant said they gained access by purchasing a $10 bot from Genesis Market that let them log into a company Slack account.

Information such as passwords, browser history, cookies, autofill form data and location are always available for sale on Genesis. These, the authorities say, allowed fraudsters to log in to bank, email and shopping accounts, re-direct deliveries and even change passwords without raising suspicion.

The criminals could search for potential victims by country, and see what data was available before they made their purchase.

The coordinated raid dubbed “Operation Cookie Monster,” which involved 17 countries, including the UK, Australia and countries across Europe, involved 200 searches and resulted in 120 arrests.

“Genesis Market’s domains have been seized by the FBI pursuant to a seizure warrant issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin,” the message appearing on the site on Wednesday reads.

The FBI said that Genesis Market, since its inception, offered access to data stolen from over 1.5 million compromised computers worldwide containing over 80 million account access credentials. The bureau said Genesis has made at least $8.7 million from the sale of stolen credentials, noting that complete total losses are likely to exceed tens of millions of dollars when it’s determined.

The UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA), which arrested 24 people during the raid, described Genesis as “enabler of fraud.”

“For too long criminals have stolen credentials from innocent members of the public,” Robert Jones, director general of the National Economic Crime Centre at the NCA, said.

“We now want criminals to be afraid that we have their credentials, and they should be,” he added.

A senior FBI official told TechCrunch that arrests have also been made in the United States, without giving details.

“This is the biggest operation of its kind. We’re not just going after administrators or taking sites down; we’re going after users on a global scale,” the official said. They added that by obtaining Genesis Market’s computer systems, officials have identified approximately 59,000 users of the marketplace.

Internet users have been advised to keep their computer and phone operating systems up-to-date, using two-factor authentication (2FA) and strong passwords, if they want to avoid fraud. They are also urged to consider using a password manager.

Cyril Noel-Tagoe, principal researcher at cybersecurity and bot management company Netacea, told TechCrunch that Genesis shutdown will have significant impact on the operation of cybercriminals.

“As a result of the Genesis Market’s seizure, we expect to see an exodus of sellers and customers to competitor marketplaces,” Noel-Tagoe said. “There are multiple other illicit marketplaces selling logs and credentials, although not on the scale of the Genesis Market. Alternatively, if a significant core of the Genesis Market administrators evade law enforcement, they may splinter off and create a new version of the site.”
