Many crypto experts and analysts are predicting a bull market to commence either in 2023 or early 2024, and that is why many astute investors are diversifying their portfolios in preparation.

The crypto landscape is now honing in on protocols and projects that offer serious utility, especially with the coming of Web3.0. Investors and analysts are more likely to back a project that offers the crypto landscape something new, something with serious utility and function – in short, something that can push crypto forward.

Ethereum is widely used as the building blockchain for many new cryptocurrencies, and whilst Ethereum $ETH offers potential returns in the coming years, its entrance price point is already high, and offers restricted margins in terms of volatility. So what alternatives are there to the giants of the crypto landscapes? We explore three options: Big Eyes Coin ($BIG), Telos ($TLOS), and Brave’s native token ($BAT).

Brave (BAT): Earn Crypto Whilst Securely Browsing!

Basic Attention Token (BAT) is the native token of Brave browser, a democratizing movement that rewards users and browsers on Brave with cryptocurrency. Whereby the traditional, big names of search engines and browsers have been rife with cross-site trackers, invasive ads, data mining, and security breaches, Brave offers secure and DeFi protection against these threats.

Furthermore, it now offers rewards for its users in the form of BAT, its native token. By allowing adverts, your clicks and data are rewarded with $BAT, which is paid out monthly, into either a native Brave wallet or one of its trusted partner wallets. This innovative reward system, alongside its serious security protocols, will push Brave into the most popular browser, and $BAT will only benefit.

Telos (TLOS): Home To The Fastest-Ever EVM

Telos, with its token $TLOS, is a project that has quietly and impressively going strength-to-strength. It is self-described as safer, greener, more honest, and more cost-effective than traditional cryptocurrencies. It has a host of utilities, including the building of decentralized apps (dApps).

Telos also boasts the quickest-ever Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which is a tool to predict the state of Ethereum as each block is added to the chain. This adds additional functionality as it keeps the code separate from applications. In addition to this, Telos (TLOS) is decentralized, has zero gas fees, and is fast and scalable – all of which add to its functionality and utility.  $TLOS has a low price point entry, meaning the chance for profit and long-term usability is high.

Big Eyes Coin (BIG): A Meme Coin Mixing Fun With Utility

Big Eyes Coin, with its native token $BIG, is a new meme coin on the Ethereum ledger that is aiming to bring serious utility to the meme crypto landscape. One of its major aims is the hosting and minting of NFTs within its own NFT club, called Sushi Crew. Users will be able to create, sell, and buy NFTs on its Big Eyes marketplace, creating one-of-a-kind artwork of its adorable Big Eyes cat.

Big Eyes also has serious charity considerations. It has a dedicated cold charity wallet in which 5% of BIG tokens will be stored, with its aim to protect the planet’s oceans and conserve the ocean’s wildlife. It also aims to preserve the forest land, partnering up with several deforestation charities.

Big Eyes is currently flying through its presale stages and has, at the time of writing, raised over $12 million, and is trending upwards. When purchasing via the button below, please use exclusive code BIGsave057 to gain extra bonuses and content!

Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of collapsed exchange FTX, has entered a not guilty plea to eight charges of fraud in New York federal court on Tuesday, CNBC reports.

His plea comes weeks after two of his associates pleaded guilty to federal charges in the Southern District of New York. The trio are facing charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and securities fraud, individual charges of securities fraud and wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Following his indictment by federal court in New York on Dec. 9, Bankman-Fried was arrested by Bahamas law enforcement at the request of U.S. prosecutors on Dec. 12. He was extradited to the U.S. at his own volition after what earlier looked like an attempt by his attorneys to keep him in the Bahamas.

The report said attorneys for Bankman-Fried filed a motion to have the names of two individuals who had guaranteed Bankman-Fried release on bail with a bond concealed. The motion, which was approved by Judge Lewis Kaplan, is based on the claim that the visibility of the case and the defendant had already posed a risk to Bankman-Fried’s parents, and that the guarantors should not be subject to the same scrutiny.

Bankman-Fried’s parents are reportedly facing a threat.

Both the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have filed charges against the three people involved.

Bankman-Fried is also up against federal charges and complaints from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The former CEO is facing years in prison if he’s found guilty.

Although Bankman-Fried had maintained that he did not nothing wrong, blaming the collapse of the FTX on oversight and ignorance, the guilty plea by his closest allies, Caroline Ellison, former CEO of his hedge fund Alameda Research, and Gary Wang, who he co-founded FTX with, has splashed a major dent on his case.

Ellison, 28, and Wang, 29, pleaded guilty on Dec. 21, and are cooperating with prosecutors. Their cooperation is expected to give prosecutors an edge in the trial scheduled for Oct. 2 by Kaplan.

But another tussle is taking place alongside the legal proceedings against Bankman-Fried and his former associates. The CNBC reported on an ongoing fight between FTX and Bahamian authorities:

Federal prosecutor Danielle Sassoon told the court that Bankman-Fried had worked with foreign regulators to transfer assets that FTX’s U.S. management had been attempting to recover through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.

Regulators in the Bahamas and FTX’s U.S. lawyers have been fighting for weeks in Delaware bankruptcy court over hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars worth of cryptocurrency. FTX’s attorneys insist that Bahamian regulators have illicitly transferred hundreds of millions of dollars, and that Bankman-Fried assisted them.

Bahamian regulators say that local laws give them jurisdiction over those assets, and dispute the validity of the U.S. Chapter 11 proceedings.

Federal prosecutors appear to agree with FTX’s U.S. attorneys. Sassoon asked Kaplan to impose a new restriction barring Bankman-Fried from transferring or accessing FTX customer assets. The judge approved that motion as well.

Federal prosecutors also announced the launch of a new task force to recover victim assets as part of an ongoing investigation into Bankman-Fried and the collapse of FTX.

“The Southern District of New York is working around the clock to respond to the implosion of FTX,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement Tuesday.

It is not clear how Bankman-Fried intends to build his defense with the growing number of witnesses against him. Per CNBC, Ryan Salame, another former FTX executive, drew the attention of regulators to a possible fraudulent activity going on at the exchange. The former co-CEO at FTX, flagged “possible mishandling of clients’ assets” to Bahamian regulators two days before the crypto exchange filed for bankruptcy protection, according to a filing from the Securities Commission of the Bahamas.

Allegations against Bankman-Fried include investing $8 billion worth of customers’ assets in extravagant real estate and vanity projects. The U.S. attorney’s office for the SDNY said he spent the money on matters like stadium naming rights and political donations.

Payments are in any company. And when the business is gaining momentum, there are more of them, as well as the problems associated with them. If you are having financial difficulties, you can always contact Payday Depot and they will help you. We tell you how to put things in order in payments using a single form. With it, you can collect payment documents in one place, and then quickly transfer them to the payment register and calculate the payment calendar. All you need is good Excel skills, knowledge of a few “secret” formulas, a sequence of steps, and patience.

How to create a form

To begin with, you need a budget classifier: a separate one for receipts, and a separate one for the company’s expenditure payments. The budget classifier is a constant. It will link all forms of control and planning of funds. If there is no budget classifier yet, it can be assembled from a standard set of articles. Even 5 is enough – even if they are not perfect and do not take into account everything, but start with them. The rest will be clarified in the process. Example names: wages, taxes, communications and the Internet, rent, etc.

Registration of documents for payment

All received documents for payment and payment schedules are regularly registered here. This is a guarantee of order and a guarantee that nothing will be lost and everything will be paid for on time. Yes, the first half of the information will have to be filled in manually as payment documents appear. You can then transfer unpaid and monthly payments from the previous period, and new payments as documents are received.

Registration of documents for receipts

It can be filled out in the same way as the expense payment form. For example, download all outstanding invoices and/or scheduled payments. Then leave only those that, under the terms of the contracts, will be paid in the reporting month. Benefit: You will have a detailed breakdown of expected receipts, but many daily adjustments are possible after the fact. This option is suitable for a stable income or a small amount.

When it is difficult to plan receipts for specific dates, it is easier to download a fact from the statement daily. Don’t try to fill in all the columns. Advantage: high speed and ease of information processing, but you will not have a transcript of the expected receipts. And it is important for the payment calendar. This issue will need to be worked out separately later.

Payment schedule

In part, this function is already performed by the BDDS of the month, if it is updated and planned under contracts. Partially it is performed by all registered payments. After all, the payment date is planned according to the terms of the contract or payment schedule with a margin of days without the risk of overdue debts. The function of the payment calendar is also performed by the register of payments, when you see the actual balance at the beginning of the day, the expected income – and adjust the payment plan.
