Crypto Spotlight: Why Litecoin and Big Eyes Coin Could be Big Winners in Q1

0

Cryptocurrencies are like superheroes in the digital world, offering the power of instant and borderless transfers of digital assets. But just like superheroes, not all cryptocurrencies are the same. Each one has its unique set of abilities that sets it apart from the rest. Some may be stronger, faster, or more profitable than others.

As we embark on the first quarter of the year, these two cryptocurrencies, Litecoin (LTC) and Big Eyes Coin (BIG), have the potential to shine bright and attract investors’ attention. Keep an eye on them as they soar high in the digital sky.

Litecoin: The Affordable Cryptocurrency with Promising Potential

In the world of cryptocurrency, Litecoin (LTC) is a digital asset that has been on the rise since its creation in 2011. As a fork of the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain, it has established itself as a promising alternative with significant potential for growth.

What sets Litecoin apart is its unique mining algorithm, Scrypt. Unlike Bitcoin’s complex SHA-256 algorithm, Scrypt allows for easier and more affordable mining. With less hardware required, it is accessible to a wider audience, making it an attractive option for both miners and investors.

Despite a recent slowdown in its growth rate, Litecoin remains a coin to watch in 2023. With the cryptocurrency market projected to expand, investing in Litecoin at a lower price point could lead to significant gains in the future.

So, whether you’re a seasoned investor or a newcomer to the cryptocurrency scene, keep an eye on Litecoin. Its potential for growth and accessibility make it a valuable addition to any digital asset portfolio.

Big Eyes Coin: The Feline Meme Token with a Purposeful Bite

In the world of cryptocurrencies, there’s a new player in town, and it’s taking the internet by storm. Big Eyes Coin (BIG), with its cute feline mascot, has captured the hearts of many investors who are looking for a unique opportunity to make money while also contributing to a great cause. But what makes this meme token stand out from the rest? Let’s dive in and find out!

Unlike other meme tokens that are solely focused on making a profit, BIG has a two-pronged approach. It aims to generate revenue for investors while also helping to save our oceans. The project promises to donate 5% of its earnings to marine conservatories, making it an appealing investment option for those who care about environmental conservation.

BIG offers more than just the promise of making money and saving the oceans. It also provides fun and interesting perks for its investors, such as a Sushi NFT that investors can purchase to join the “Sushi Crew.” Additionally, BIG provides an ROI calendar that gives investors a visual representation of potential growth, making it even more enticing.

Currently in its presale stage, BIG has already been growing at an exponential rate. To generate more buzz and excitement, BIG is offering investors the chance to buy limited loot boxes valued at $100, $500, and $1,000. These loot boxes give investors a chance to win big or get their money back in BIG tokens, making it a thrilling investment option for those who are feeling lucky.

BIG’s future looks promising based on the value that it’s already providing to investors. When we reflect on the success of Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), we can see that these meme tokens gained an incredible following and inspired many people to invest. BIG is following a similar trajectory, and its potential for growth is looking very bright.

Big Eyes Coin is an exciting new meme token that offers investors the chance to make money while also contributing to a great cause. With its cute feline mascot, fun perks for investors, and pre-launch hype, BIG is poised to make a big impact in the world of cryptocurrencies. So why not take a chance and invest in BIG? Who knows, you might just get lucky and be part of the next big thing in crypto!

Rivers APC Campaign Coordinator Found Dead After Abduction In Polling Station By Gunmen

0

River state’s APC campaign coordinator, Chisom Lennard, has been found dead after his alleged abduction by Gunmen during the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections on Saturday at his polling station in Ahoada-West Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The deceased whose body was found lifeless along the Ibueahi-Ubeta road in Ahoada-West LGA was said to have attempted to stop the gunmen from snatching election materials but was overhauled and whisked away by the invaders.

Darlington Nwauju, the State APC Publicity Secretary, who confirmed the incident said, “He was abducted from his polling unit during the voting process and taken away.

“Nobody knew where they took him to. It was later in the evening of Saturday that his body was discovered.”

Mr Nwauju reportedly also added that the late Lennard was an APC LGA caretaker chairman and a PhD student at Rivers State University.

According to the Nigerian Tribune, the late APC chieftain was an estate surveyor and a former board member of the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority during the tenure of Rotimi Amaechi.

It was gathered that newsmen contacted the spokesperson of the state’s police command regarding the incident, but as of the time of filing the report, there has been no response from the Police.

Conflux (CFX) and Ravencoin (RVN) Bubble is Bursting Just as TMS Network (TMSN) is Setting Off

0

In the world of cryptocurrency, there are either losers or winners. Recently, the market has seen a decline in the value of Conflux (CFX) and Ravencoin (RVN), while TMS Network (TMSN) is starting to gain momentum. This shift in the market highlights the constant evolution of the cryptocurrency landscape. Analysts believe Conflux, Ravencoin and TMS Network are all good picks for 2023

Ravencoin (RVN) goes through Potential decline in its market share; its Price drops to $0.02834

Ravencoin (RVN) has a unique feature that allows individuals to mine it easily with a desktop or laptop computer. Thus, it enables Ravencoin (RVN) users to perform mining without the need for expensive equipment. However, Ravencoin’s (RVN) value has been going through a downturn curve as most people who invested in it earlier are selling their tokens.

Recently, Ravencoin (RVN) experienced a sudden surge in the price of almost 200%, which may have been caused by Merge bullishness, but the growth quickly faded. Ravencoin’s (RVN) price has fallen to $0.02834, which has made users anxious about its stability.

Experts believe that a decline in Ravencoin’s (RVN) market share is due its frequent token sales by the investors. Those who haven’t sold their Ravencoin (RVN) tokens are now stuck with less valuable holdings. The scenario has put the community members in a complicated situation. Thus, it’s not the best time to invest in Ravencoin (RVN).

Conflux (CFX) takes big steps to expand its network, but its price fails to rise above $1

Conflux (CFX) claims to be a fast and affordable public blockchain that complies with regulations in China. Major brands and government organizations in the area have partnered with Conflux (CFX) to develop blockchain and metaverse projects. However, Conflux (CFX) token price hasn’t experienced the spike as expected, despite these initiatives. There are many potential reasons for a lack of price growth. Firstly, Conflux (CFX) token is relatively unknown compared to other cryptocurrencies. Additionally, it’s not as widely available for trading on major exchanges, which could limit Conflux’s (CFX) liquidity and adoption.

The platform uses various approaches to gain recognition in the global market. Conflux (CFX) Network recently teamed up with China Telecom to create blockchain-enabled SIM cards.

The community hopes to see a rise in the token value after this partnership. Currently, Conflux (CFX) is trading at $0.3425. Some analysts believe that existing investors may back off from their holdings if Conflux (CFX) fails to gain price strength this year.

Traditional traders claim that TMS Network (TMSN) has all the features they seek in a trading platform

TMS Network (TMSN) aims to solve the problem of slow transaction processing on centralized trading platforms. The project has introduced a system, which enables TMS Network (TMSN) traders to instantly deposit and withdraw funds across traditional derivatives with cryptocurrency payments. TMS Network (TMSN) directly connects the sender to the receiver, so they can execute trades without waiting for transactions to be processed by third parties.

Therefore, TMS Network (TMSN) is a great choice for short-term traders helping them conduct trades quickly and efficiently. Developers claim traders will benefit from reduced transaction costs, trading guidance, staking rewards, and many other features on TMS Network’s (TMSN) platform. It makes TMS Network (TMSN) a popular choice for those who are actively involved in financial trading markets.

The current token price is $0.038, which is expected to multiply after TMS Network’s (TMSN) official launch. Its concept of bringing decentralization in conventional trading has gained wide appreciation. It is the best time to invest in futuristic projects like TMS Network (TMSN).

 

Anyone curious about doing so, and using the TMS Network (TMSN) token as a hedge against the falling market, can do so using the links below.

Africa’s Finest B2C Ecommerce Model

1

Question: You seem not to like the typical B2C ecommerce business model in Africa, could you tell me which one you like?

My response: the Amazon-based ecommerce business model in Africa is a waste of time. It is very unlikely that  any company will make money doing it in Nigeria or broad sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa). Jumia loses close to $200 million yearly on its business model: “For one, the company has recorded back-to-back losses every quarter since it went public in 2019; it finished 2022 with $207 million in adjusted EBITDA losses, a 5.3% rise from the $196 million it recorded the year before”. I have excluded South Africa because it has a fairly decent postal service.

Since my seminal paper on Africa’s ecommerce in Harvard, I still maintain that the B2C ecommerce model must evolve to be profitable in the continent.  Yet, as I have written in the past, one company invented a great business model that is working. What does it do?

Copia’s model is hinged on a 5,000-strong agent network comprising mainly of local, small shopkeepers who earn commissions by serving as “points of aggregation of orders and delivery distribution.” Essentially, rather than make purchases online via a website or consumer-facing mobile app, Copia customers walk into stores of partnered agents who place orders on their behalf, take payments and serve as delivery points.

Simply, this is human-based logistics and that solves the marginal cost paralysis which makes B2C ecommerce unprofitable in Africa. Of course, that it is working in Kenya does not mean it will work in your community where people refuse to be fairly decent and honourable. Indeed, they can pick those items and refuse to deliver them. But for Copia which has raised at least $103 million, the agents are delivering.

But if your country suddenly has a working postal service, the Amazon model will become amazing. But until then, it would be a tough model to deliver profit.

Comment: “Pretty strong conclusion.” My Response: Yes. I think I have data to make that call. From Kalahari to Mocality to OLX to old Konga to the next, no startup has executed the Amazon model successfully in sub-Saharan Africa. But if we have a postal service tomorrow, this game will change. Yes, businesses can reach EVERYONE in a country, over focusing in few cities due to logistics issues

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Warns on The Danger of AI, Posits that ChatGPT Will Eliminate Jobs

2

American entrepreneur and CEO of OpenAI company, Sam Altman has warned about the danger of Artificial Intelligence (AI), stating that it comes with real dangers which will reshape society.

Altman, whose company developed the AI chatbot ChatGPT which is currently the rave of the moment, emphasized the need for regulators and society to be actively involved in the technology, to guard against potentially negative consequences for humanity.

He expressed concern that with the high advancement of AI technology, it might be used for large-scale disinformation.

In his words, “We’ve got to be careful here. I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this. I’m particularly worried that these models could be used for large-scale disinformation. Now that they’re getting better at writing computer code, they could be used for offensive cyber-attacks.”

He however noted that despite the danger AI technology might pose, it could be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed. Altman’s warming on the technology is coming after his company OpenAI released the latest version of its language AI model GPT-4, less than four months since the original version was released and became the fastest-growing consumer application in history.

While speaking in an interview, he stated that although the new version was not perfect, it scored 90% in the US on the bar exams and a near-perfect score on the high school SAT math test. It could also write computer code in most programming languages. He also added that the large multimodal model can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy, thanks to its broader general knowledge and problem-solving abilities.

Also, as regards the danger of Artificial Intelligence, Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk has repeatedly issued warnings on the dangers of Artificial intelligence. In 2018 while speaking at a tech conference, Musk stated that AI or AGI artificial general intelligence is more dangerous than a nuclear weapon, stating that there needs to be a regulatory body overseeing the development of superintelligence.

Musk worries AI’s development will outpace humans ability to manage it safely. “There is no regulatory oversight of AI, which is a major problem. I’ve been calling for AI safety regulation for over a decade!” Musk tweeted in December last year. He also voiced concern that Microsoft, which hosts ChatGPT on its Bing search engine, had disbanded its ethics oversight division.

As AI grows more rapidly and widespread, the voices warning against the potential dangers of artificial intelligence have continued to grow louder. The tech community has long debated the threats posed by artificial intelligence. Automation of jobs, the spread of fake news, and a dangerous arms race of AI-powered weaponry have been mentioned as some of the biggest dangers posed by AI.

ChatGPT Will Eliminate Jobs

More so Sam Altman admitted that the ChatGPT could take many jobs off the market. He said that in an interview with ABC News on Thursday where he also admitted that he is “a little bit scared” of the AI-powered chatbot.

ChatGPT has become a darling of the corporate world since it was launched late last year, with companies such as Microsoft incorporating the model AI language into some of its services. This is because of the AI’s efficacy in providing human-like context to queries.

With its capability to solve complex tests, write codes, and essays, the ChatGPT3 has seen wide adoption, racking up more than 100 million users in less than three months after it was launched.

Early this week, OpenAI announced the release of GPT4, which it said exhibits human level intelligence. The company said the improved version can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy – a claim many people who have used it attested to.

“GPT-4 is more creative and collaborative than ever before. It can generate, edit, and iterate with users on creative and technical writing tasks, such as composing songs, writing screenplays, or learning a user’s writing style,” the company said.

The improved performance of GPT4 has fueled the concern that ChatGPT will eliminate many jobs. But Altman said that although the chatbot could replace many jobs, it could also lead to “much better ones”.

“The reason to develop AI at all, in terms of impact on our lives and improving our lives and upside, this will be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed,” he said.

GPT-4 outperforms ChatGPT by scoring in higher approximate percentiles among test-takers, according to OpenAI.

Altman said on Tuesday that it can pass the bar exam for lawyers and is capable of scoring “a 5 on several AP exams”.

The OpenAI executive is not the only one to have expressed fear of the capabilities of artificial intelligence. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who also confounded OpenAI, has warned that it is  one of the biggest threats to civilization, asking the government to step in with regulation.

Altman told ABC that he’s in regular contact with government officials, adding that regulators and society should be involved with ChatGPT’s rollout. It is hoped that the government’s involvement will help in addressing concerns emanating from its use.

In several tweets last month, the 37 years old called for regulation. He said society needed time to adjust to something so big, warning that the world may not be “that far from potentially scary” artificial intelligence.
