The Ndubuisi Ekekwe’s Forbes Africa Billionaire List

0

Good People, you all made me feel really good. I have been receiving many congratulations from our community members who actually do believe that Ndubuisi Ekekwe made it to the Forbes Africa Billionaire list. What can I write?

Publicly, can you see that even my undergraduate classmates think I deserve to join the billionaire club, eating special nkwobi and  amala with zobo to wash am, like Aliko Dangote and Adenuga do daily? That means y’all have confidence that I will run a nice billionaire –royale.

I accept all the congrats; Vox Populi, Vox Dei [the voice of the people is the voice of God] . Yet, read that piece again; we’re just #believing. Yes “ faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. We’re confident that we’ll rise to that level but the date is not yet 2023! (With all intentions, that was a humour please, and do not use that in your undergraduate seminar paper]

The original piece

The Forbes’ List is out with Africa’s billionaires. I have picked my spot, and Aliko Dangote is a number down. In the Igbo Nation, the elders will say “onye kwe chi ya ekwe” [when one says yes, his personal god will also say YES). Walahi, I have been reading Forbes for ages, and I think my name will look nice on those pages. Congratulations to my peers; I crossed that 2023 because my “B” is still followed by a proper fraction; it needs to be a whole number.

0

Crypto analysts have predicted that the meme coin Dogetti and lending platform Aave could give investors multifold returns in the future. The decentralized blockchain platform Flow also made it to their list of promising cryptocurrencies. Read to know how these top cryptocurrencies can make you rich in a matter of time.

Aave Surges 200% In 30 Days

Aave is an Ethereum blockchain-based protocol that allows users to borrow and lend cryptocurrencies. It uses smart contracts to automate the loan process that manages fund distribution, collaterals, and fee assessment. It enables the platform to operate without any third-party intermediary.

To lend crypto on Aave, users should deposit their currency by connecting a digital wallet to the platform. These deposits will offer a fixed annual percentage yield that will be paid in the same asset in which it is deposited. To borrow on Aave, users will have to supply their crypto as collateral. Users can earn interest on these deposits. After the collateral is deposited into the liquidity pool, users can borrow other cryptocurrencies but up to a certain percentage of their collateral value. Aave also offers a native token in its own name that can earn interest through staking.

At the time of writing, the price of the AAVE token was trading at 76.22 dollars. The currency has been trading in the green since 2021. Over the last 30 days, AAVE witnessed an increase of 202.8%. Crypto analysts believe that the growing number of buyers in the market portends a bright future for AAVE, which could reach $100 in 2023.

Flow Heading To $5

Flow is a decentralized layer-one blockchain designed to function as the base protocol for dApps, games, and digital assets. Flow platform aims to provide a scalable environment and congestion-free fast transactions. Since it has faster speeds and lower transactions, it is expected to become an alternative to Ethereum. The developer-friendly Flow ecosystem has been attracting top developers and crypto enthusiasts.

The native cryptocurrency of the Flow ecosystem is also called FLOW. It is designed to serve as a network fee, reward, payment method, and reserve asset in the long run. Though the coin has been suffering a bearish trend in the market lately, it witnessed a rise of 1.6% over the past 30 days. The crypto analysts predicted that the price of FLOW could reach up to $1.97 in 2023. They are also optimistic about the currency reaching up to $5 in 2025.

Dogetti To See 300% Rise Soon

Dogetti is a new dog-themed meme coin in the crypto market that has been doing notable wonders in its presale stage. Its ecosystem is made up of DogettiNFT, DogettiDAO, and DogettiSwap. DogettiNFT allows the holders to breed, grow and sell in exchange for fiat or other cryptocurrencies. Dogetti DAO fosters transparency and accountability in the project by allowing the family to propose and vote on proposals for the development of the community.

Another feature of the protocol is DogettiSwap, which is a decentralized exchange where members can swap any ERC 20 token for another one. Dogetti announced that it would impose a 6% tax on every transaction made on the platform. But, 2% of the tax will be added to the charity wallet, and another 2% of the tax will be redistributed to the holders’ wallet, which means the Dogetti holders can become rich simply by holding the wallet. These futuristic visions and enticing offers are bringing more investors to the Dogetti family.

In the first stage of the presale, Dogetti raised $375,000. As of writing, a single unit of DETI token costs $0.00007. The price will be raised to 300% in stage two of the presale.

Three of the Best Cryptocurrencies To Focus On During March – Big Eyes Coin, VeChain & Terra Classic

0

As a result of cryptocurrencies’ growing media acceptance, millions of people worldwide now have the opportunity to achieve financial freedom through digital currency. The cryptocurrency market has grown since its unlucky beginnings to become one of the biggest financial markets in the world at this time.

There are a number of coins on the cryptocurrency market that promise financial independence to both investors and users. The crypto market has lowered the cost of entry, making it easier for developers to publish their applications and exert influence. But, because the criterion has been decreased, the competition is fierce.

The coins that are available on the market are constantly improving. So, cryptocurrency users can simply make money off the market. Purchasing digital assets is also made simple for bitcoin users by blockchain technology. Blockchain technology’s goal of accelerating transactions is another one.

The constant creation of new enterprises is what drives the intense rivalry in the cryptocurrency industry. To effectively gain from the crypto sector, several analysts and business professionals advise making long-term investments. This enables the chosen coins to mature and provides the investor with amazing profits.

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) – Who Wants To Be A Crypto Millionaire

By delivering riches and a larger user base, the blossoming meme coin project Big Eyes Coin (BIG) hopes to support the cryptocurrency market. It is a cat meme coin that seeks acceptance on the Ethereum network in order to provide greater advantages to its community. Big Eyes Coin is a DeFi option that claims to incorporate exchanges, purchases from liquidity pools, staking, and additional features like NFTs and the metaverse. The meme currency has raised a significant amount of money since the beginning of its presale and has already attracted a lot of attention.

Big Eyes Coin users will have access to loot boxes. Loot boxes, which are mystery boxes, are a common feature of adventure-style video games. They can be used to access brand-new in-game items like outfits, weapons, or accessories. When playing a game, they appear at random.

One of the three possible loot boxes, all of which are stuffed with $BIG tokens, offers the chance for a lucky member of the BIG community to win up to $100,000 in tokens. The “Excali-Paw Master Chest,” a fourth box that costs $9,999 and offers gifts ranging from $10,000 to $1,000,000, was just released today.

What is VeChain (VET)

Vechain (VET), a top blockchain platform, specializes in commercial solutions. A secondary VTHO coin is provided by the Vechain (VET) platform’s main token, VET, which powers transactions on the network. Sunny Lou, a former CIO for China at Louis Vuitton, launched VeChain (VET) in 2015 to give companies the ability to follow their products throughout the whole manufacturing process and ensure the greatest quality possible for the items they supply.

VeChain (VET) is crucial for preventing unauthorized copying of any kind, including counterfeiting, bootlegging, and piracy. The VeChain protocol employs the proof of authority consensus paradigm, where a small number of validating nodes are granted authority based on the number of VET tokens deposited.

Terra Classic (LUNC) Making A Comeback

Terra Ecosystem’s governance token is called Lunc and was formerly known as Terra Luna. Following the over 90% value loss of Luna in May 2022, the ecosystem’s developers changed its name to Terra Classic. They produced a new coin called Lunc in an effort to distance themselves from the failure and regain the faith of investors and the cryptocurrency community.

Also, the developers gave up management control of Terra to the community; as a result, Terra is now governed by a Decentralised Autonomous Organization (DAO). Given the Lunc token’s recent success, the rebranding was successful. From August 19, 2022, when it fell to its lowest point, the token has increased by 70%.

To make crypto transactions on a global scale simple, Terra Luna is a blockchain-centered around a family of stablecoins. Terra Luna sought to develop a family of stablecoins pegged to various world currencies, such as the Korean won, the Euro, etc., in acknowledgment of the fact that the bulk of stablecoins currently in existence is based on the US dollar. The ease of spending and exchanging bitcoins, as a result, will encourage their wider adoption.

Polygon (MATIC) downsizes, Solana (SOL) rallies on Helium news, and TMS Network (TMSN) presale launches

0
TMS no account

2023 is turning out to be an interesting year for cryptocurrencies. While Polygon (MATIC) struggles to perform and is laying off 20% of its workforce due to the 2022 crypto winter, Solana (SOL), however, seems to be moving on an upwards trend. On the other hand, TMS Network (TMSN) continues to spark investor confidence and has successfully launched its presale. Currently, TMS Network (TMSN) is in the first presale stage at $0.0047 per token.

TMS Network (TMSN): An Unmatched Decentralized Trading Platform with Powerful Features

The core objective of the platform is to offer users streamlined trading accessibility, affordability, and tamper-proof trading abilities.

Some Exciting TMS Network Features

  • Industry-level security protocols
  • All transactions will be recorded on the TMS blockchain ledger for all to view
  • Enhanced transparency with zero third-party intervention

Polygon (MATIC) Lays Off Workers Amidst Price Drops

As the digital asset and currency marketplace continues to reel back from the devastating volatility of 2022, there are a lot of altcoins and crypto projects that are laying off workers. Polygon (MATIC) is one of them.

According to reports, Polygon (MATIC) has laid off up to 20% of its manpower (100 employees) in the past couple of days. This was stated in an official report posted by Polygon in February.

According to official reports, the decision to downsize primarily stems from the company’s objective to bring all its workers under the umbrella of Polygon Labs for continual long-term expansion in the future.

To make sure things turn out as smoothly as possible for the employees that have been let go, Polygon also decided to pay all employees severance pays for three months.

Solana (SOL) Regains investor Confidence After Increasing in Value

After significantly plummeting in value (more than 80%), Solana (SOL) has bounced back remarkably well in the first couple of months of 2023. The price of Solana has skyrocketed up to 2x in February, increasing by more than 55%. According to CoinGecko, currently, Solana is trading at $23.70.

Moreover, the renowned (Ethereum Killer) also experienced a historic increase in trading volume since the FTX setback, which nearly diminished Solana to nothing in 2022.

It is a pretty amazing rebound for Solana (SOL) considering just a couple of months ago, Solana was down 94% and was trading at $8.17. Currently, Solana (SOL) is outpacing Polygon (MATIC) to once again be listed as one of the top 10 cryptos in terms of market capitalization.

Bottom Line

While things look bleak for Polygon (MATIC) at the moment, Solana (SOL) is continually sparking investor confidence. On the other hand, TMS Network (TMSN) seems to be making even bigger waves as the future of decentralized trading.
