0

Investors in cryptocurrencies have weathered the past few months of hapless asset decline. Many people have suffered significant losses due to the crypto winter; therefore market participants and cryptocurrency enthusiasts will appreciate any investments that will eliminate their worries. According to analyses and forecasts, the upcoming year may be better than the current one, as crypto assets will gradually begin their recovery and go for their first all-time high.

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is one of the finest investments to make right now since new crypto projects with big prospects are more likely to see a price increase. The new meme coin is currently under presale and when it launches, there may be a 25 boost. Along with VeChain (VET) and Theta Network (THETA), it is predicted to have a significant price increase in 2023.

VeChain (VET)

Vechain (VET) is a leading blockchain platform focusing on business solutions. The Vechain platform’s central token, VET, provides a secondary VTHO coin that facilitates transactions on the Vechain (VET) network. Sunny Lou, a former CIO for China for Louis Vuitton, founded VeChain in 2015. In order to ensure the best possible quality of the delivered goods, businesses can track their products throughout the manufacturing process using the platform.

VeChain also stops copying, counterfeiting, bootlegging, and other illicit copying. With the proof of authority consensus method, which the VeChain protocol employs, a minuscule number of validating nodes are granted authority based on the number of VET tokens deposited.

The VeChain (VET) network is intended to link traditional corporate transactions with blockchain-based ones. VeChain (VET) is a value exchange token that can be used for transactions, remittances, and other uses. While other currencies have plummeted, the price of VeChain (VET) has remained quite stable, making it a top choice.

Theta Network (THETA)

Theta Network (THETA) uses blockchain technology to incorporate web3 characteristics into the thriving media and entertainment sector. The network’s emphasis on media, film, and entertainment has boosted the adoption of blockchain and web3 in these industries. Users can profit from their material on Theta Network without the aid of a third party or the transfer of ownership rights.

On the site, you can equally share bandwidth and storage space with other users while also earning prizes. Every transaction on the Theta Network, a low-cost platform for sharing, viewing, and storing videos, is backed by THETA, the network’s native currency. The popularity and market value of THETA have grown over time as a result of the increased use of the web3 video platform. After suffering a severe price drop this year, the crypto asset hopes to experience a similar upsurge in the upcoming year. It reached a new high in market price during the 2021 bear rally. It would help if you thought about acquiring THETA at its current low price since it has what it takes to succeed.

Big Eyes Coin (BIG)

The presale for The Big Eyes Coin began a while ago, and it has made good progress since then. The creators created Big Eyes as the ideal response to the demand for a meme coin that users could use for purposes beyond just amusement. Big Eyes Coin is an excellent project to adopt because it includes both the typical meme qualities and extra benefits in thriving crypto environments.

The crypto asset’s high adoption potential boosts its likelihood of obtaining market success when it launches into the coin market appropriately. Big Eyes (BIG) is a new coin, therefore supporters think it’s a less hazardous investment with a bigger profit potential.

The Big Eyes Coin blockchain ecosystem will operate on the Ethereum blockchain. It will have advantageous characteristics that make DeFi easier to use, improve adoption, and maximize the effectiveness of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Big Eyes Coin has a strong community focus, and the project’s creators are committed to ensuring the community’s active development through incentive systems that may guarantee maximum dedication and engagement.

In A New Policy, Twitter Prohibits Users from Linking Rival Social Media Companies

0

Twitter on Sunday, announced that it will no longer allow users to link to a number of rival social media websites, including Facebook, Instagram and Mastodon from their accounts.

The announcement follows series of controversial changes being effected by the social media company’s new owner Elon Musk. Twitter said under the new rule called “promotion of alternative social platforms policy”, it will no longer allow free promotion of specific social media platforms.

“We recognize that many of our users are active on other social media platforms. However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter,” it said.

Twitter added: “Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post.”

The microblogging app explains that it still allows cross-posting content from any social media platform, and that posting links or usernames to social media platforms not listed above are also not in violation of the policy. However, Musk once again has come under heavy criticism by both free speech advocates and Twitter users, including the platform’s former founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey.

Dorsey had responded to the policy asking “why?” and in a separate tweet said it “doesn’t make sense.”

The policy also prohibits free promotion of 3rd-party social media platforms (linking out) or without URL. For example: “follow me @username on Instagram” or “facebook.com/username.” Twitter said Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post, Nostr and 3rd-party social media link aggregators such as linktr.ee, lnk.bio are all prohibited platforms.

“Accounts that are used for the main purpose of promoting content on another social platform may be suspended,” Twitter said. It added that “we allow paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms,” and allows users to post content to Twitter from the prohibited platforms.

The policy has been widely criticized. But Musk on Sunday responded to the pouring criticism saying that “casually sharing occasional links is fine, but no more relentless advertising of competitors for free, which is absurd in the extreme.”

“Twitter should be easy to use, but no more relentless free advertising of competitors. No traditional publisher allows this and neither will Twitter,” he said.

An hour later, Musk said that the “policy will be adjusted to suspending accounts only when that account’s primary purpose is promotion of competitors, which essentially falls under the no spam rule.”

The “promotion of alternative social platforms policy” is so far, the most controversial major policy introduced by Twitter under Musk. The billionaire entrepreneur will find the policy hard to implement as it violates a provision of the European Digital Markets Act, which prohibits gatekeeper platforms from preventing consumers from linking up to businesses outside their platforms.

The European Union had on Friday threatened to sanction Twitter over its decision to suspend the accounts of some journalists who cover Twitter for doxxing.

Musk has been under intense criticism over free speech since he took over at Twitter, with many saying that he only promotes freedom of speech, which he claimed his acquisition of the social media company has been about, when it suits him. But he apologized on Sunday for the promotion of alternative social platforms policy.

“Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again,” Musk, who has been trying his hand on many changes to make Twitter profitable since he paid $44 billion for the social media platform, said.

Asake could vicariously be in big trouble over his Brixton Academy failed concert.

0

The name Asake is now a household name in the Nigerian music scene, he rose to fame sometime last year after he got signed into YBNL records. Mr. Ahmed Ololads who is popularly known by the stage name “Asake” has enjoyed a huge level of exponential growth and fame and started holding sold-out shows in Nigeria and also on the international stages.

He was recently on international tours but his sold-out tours which have been epoch-making since they started took a devastating dramatic detour some few days back after his music concert in the Brixton Academy in London was breached and there were stampedes which led to several people getting critically injured and so far one person have been reported died from the incident.

According to eye witness report narrating what led to the brutal incident; some of the concert attendees tried to force their way into the venue but they met strong resistance from the “bouncers” and there was a mammoth crowd at the entrance gate that were all trying to force their way into the venue, this caused a stampede and fight ensued, some thugs that came with some weapons stabbed some people in retaliation for blows and punches until the London city metropolitan security came to the scene, intervened and restored peace.

Before the intervention of the security and restoration of peace, a lot of havoc had already been done as many people were already critically injured and half dead at the scene.

Some of the victims have been threatening to sue Asake and the show organizers; so incidents like these thereby pose a legal issue as to who to be held legally responsible by the government and by the persons who got injured or by the family who lost their ward from the incident.

The law is when organizers of an event have been given a public space to hold their event, the government expects them to ensure that the event is properly organized and make sure that the safety and security of the attendees and their properties are guaranteed.

Therefore, the law will hold the organizers of that concert liable for every damage that arose out of that event for having failed to ensure the safety of the properties and lives that attended the event.

Also, Asake the performer who is the person everyone was coming to see perform will also be held vicariously liable for all the havoc that arose out of the event despite the fact that he might have contracted the organization of the concert to a second party.

As an addendum, the intent of this piece is just to shed some legal light on what may likely be the outcome of the incident if the victims decide to sue or the British government decides to hold someone responsible for the incident and we sincerely sympathize with the victims.

Morocco’s 1-2 Loss to Croatia Was A Win

0

Morocco ended its surprising run at the World Cup with a 2-1 loss to Croatia on Saturday, dashing the hope of bringing the first World Cup ware to Africa.

But it wasn’t bad after all; the Atlas Lions have changed the status of the African continent in FIFA World Cups with their terrific performance that saw them book a place for the third-place match. Morocco stunned the world when it beat Belgium 2-0 in the Group F match, signaling that it wouldn’t be business as usual for the African teams in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

As the World Cup progressed, Morocco put up another unprecedented performance, holding Spain to 0-0 full time score and eventually defeated the European side 3-0 on penalties to advance to the quarter final for the first time.

The win supposedly boosted the team’s morale. In their next match against Portugal, Morocco once again silenced a large section of the world that was already tipping the European nation for the final. The North African country maintained a stunning 1-0 lead over Portugal at full time, setting up a semi final duel against France, its biggest challenge so far at the tournament.

Morocco made history in its loss 0-2 to France. It became the first African and Arab country to reach the semi final stage of the World Cup, after several attempts by other African national teams. Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002 and in 2018, Ghana were so close but lost the penalty that could have sealed the win against Uruguay and secured the semifinal spot for them.

“My players gave everything,” Morocco coach Walid Regragui said after the match against France. “They’ve gone as far as they could. It’s difficult for them to take now. They wanted to rewrite the history books, but you can’t win a World Cup with miracles, you have to do it with hard work and that’s what we are going to do, keep working.”

Though they fell to France, Morocco, by making it to the semifinal, justified FIFA’s decision to include more African teams in the 2026 World Cup.

In 2017, FIFA reached a decision to increase the number of African national teams that will participate in the World Cup. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) had lobbied for at least 10 spots, a fair representation of the continent’s 54 nations in FIFA’s 211 member associations.

By FIFA’s decision, which means that the allocation for places at the World Cup has been expanded to 48 nations, Africa is now guaranteed nine places, up from the current five. FIFA Council also allows for a 10th nation to enter a six-team play-off tournament to decide the final two qualifiers, meaning that Africa could have up to 10 teams.

From one team (Egypt) in the 1934 tournament in Italy to two in 1982, and subsequently five in 1998, Africa is gradually closing the gap between her and other continents. For Morocco, which became the second African team to appear in the World Cup in 1970, Qatar 2022 has become an outing that will never be forgotten – it’s a tournament where Africa won.

Messi and Argentina Lift the 2022 FIFA World Cup Trophy

2

Congratulations Messi for winning a World Cup in the best World Cup Final game I have been privileged to watch. Thank you Argentina for making this a world cup, and not an European cup. Yes, the cup will leave Europe for South America.  Hope one day it rotates to Africa, Asia, and North America. In the last 4 editions of the World Cup, Europe won 100% of it. So, it is fair that this cup has found a new continent. That has been my position.

It took a decade and a half, but he did it. It took years of disappointment, a brief retirement from the Argentina national team, five World Cup appearances, a ton of frustration, the survival of two wild and furious France comebacks and a nerve-shredding penalty shootout Sunday.

But history will only remember that on a December night in Qatar, the world’s most popular player finally won soccer’s most important trophy, as his country beat France in one of the most thrilling finals in World Cup history.

On penalties after extra time finished at 3-3, Messi converted Argentina’s first shot, and goalkeeper Emi Martinez was once again the hero, saving Kingsley Coman’s kick before Aurelien Tchouameni missed and then, finally, Gonzalo Montiel sealed it for the South Americans, 4-2.

It meant all kinds of things. That Argentina would lift the trophy for the third time, and the first since Diego Maradona spearheaded a memorable 1986 triumph. That Messi would end up with seven goals after become the first player to hit the target in every game of the knockout rounds.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi made history by becoming the first player to win the World Cup Player of the Tournament twice (2022 and 2014). France’s Kylian Mbappe finished second and Croatia’s Luka Modric took home the third place. Mbappe also won the golden boot as the tournament’s highest goal scorer.

Messi and Argentina lift the 2022 FIFA World Cup trophy. It takes a man who has reached the highest of mountains to appreciate the deepest valley; Messi today enters the special lexicon in Argentina. A legend, unbounded by time.

Messi and Argentina lift the 2022 FIFA World Cup trophy. It takes a man who has reached the highest of mountains to appreciate the deepest valley; Messi today enters the special lexicon in Argentina. A legend, unbounded by time.

 Messi also made history by becoming the first player to win the World Cup Player of the Tournament twice (2022 and 2018). France’s Kylian Mbappe finished second and Croatia’s Luka Modric took home the third place. Mbappe also won the golden boot as the tournament’s highest goal scorer.

As that happens, I did a minor social experiment on why some people do not write on social media. When I posted my “wish” that it was fair for Argentina to win so that the cup could move to another continent, not many disputed, as Argentina was winning comfortably by two goals. I used the word “wish”, not “predict”. 

Then something bad happened – Argentina’s Ángel Di María got injured and was replaced. France started playing better and quickly scored two goals. Many went and updated their comments with some mocking that I was “hasty” for “predicting”. They boldly said I knew nothing about football because France would win! Remember, I never predicted; I only offered a “wish”. When it all ended, and Argentina won, they simply deleted their comments!

People, that is not necessary; you cannot be afraid in this world to put up an idea, in office, in school or anywhere. Just make sure you have some logic behind it as they taught me in FUTO in our philosophy course. Predicting sports is a lazy person’s game, and I do not do it. Even if France had won, it would have changed nothing in my post.  Then, the update would be: ‘my “wish” did not come to pass’.

The World Cup belongs to a nation, but for how Mbappe played, I was expecting Messi to seek out Mbappe, and take a photo together with the cup. Sure, Mbappe has one at home. Nonetheless, in this final, at the end, it would have been magical if both Messi and Mbappe had won today. Of course, that could not have happened. Mbappe is a legend.  Messi is a retiring legend and deserves his new cup.  Mbappe, Bukayo Saka (England) and Enzo Fernandez (Argentina) have years ahead.

Comment: Prof unfortunately Erling Haaland was absent this tournament, but we are entering an era of MBAPPE vs HAALAND. I only hope the Norwegian FA can build a team around him.

My Response: Since he did not come, there is no basis to grade him at the World Cup level. We cannot say that because the current world’s best footballer, Benzema, did not make it to Qatar, that we should hand over the cup to France. Had Benzema played, the outcome would have been different. Having Mbappe and Benzema against Messi would have been another final.
