BudBlockz Could Have 100x Potential Like Kava And Polkadot

0

The one question everyone is asking in this Bear market is, what coin is the next big coin? What coin would replicate the successes that coins like Kava and Polkadot had in 2021?

This is a really important question, considering the current conditions of the financial markets.  Right now, investors are simply thinking about the next coin to explode on the scene. Unfortunately, there aren’t many coins with the potential of Kava and Polkadot on the market right now.

The death of meme coins also means that there are very few coins that investors can bet big on. However, that might have changed with the presale of BudBlockz. Before we dive into the interesting price signals that BudBlockz is putting up, let’s talk about what the project is, and why it can be the next big thing.

BudBlockz is a project that’s looking to build a huge decentralized market for cannabis enthusiasts. The best way to explain the vision of BudBlockz is to imagine an Amazon exclusively for cannabis. When people hear about the vision of BudBlockz, what they first think about is its legality of it. Is this even legal, they might ask.

The answer is yes, it’s legal. Cannabis has been decriminalized in 27 American states and multiple countries across the globe. We can expect that number of states and countries that have legalized cannabis will only rise in the future. In any case, BudBlockz will be operating entirely within the law.

The fact that there is little investment in the cannabis industry may sound like a red flag. But it’s not. The fact that the industry has been neglected for so long means that it will be easier for BudBlockz to grow. In essence, BudBlockz doesn’t have to fight any competitors in the market. All it needs to do is completely create it out of nothing.

Studies have shown that over the next decade, the public perception of cannabis users and its value will improve massively. Today, people expect the entire industry to be worth almost two hundred dollars. If BudBlockz is successful and does create its market, it may find itself controlling a huge part of a billion-dollar industry. If you get BudBlockz right now, that’s what you stand to gain.

BudBlockz is currently in presale and has sold a huge chunk of $BLUNT — and will most likely sell more. Around 40 million of the 134,000,000 coins allocated for the presale have sold already, and the project experts all of them are to be sold before the end of the presale. If this analysis is right, this may be the lowest price you’ll ever see $BLUNT again.

Expert Predictions: Aave (AAVE), Stacks (STX), and Snowfall Protocol (SNW) Are The Three Best Cryptos For The Next Era of The Blockchain Industry

0

The blockchain industry is evolving at an alarming rate, and new technologies are emerging every day. To stay ahead of the curve, it is important to invest in cryptocurrencies that show potential for long-term success. Aave (AAVE), Stacks (STX), and Snowfall Protocol (SNW) are three cryptos that we believe will lead the next era of the blockchain industry.

Let’s learn why Aave (AAVE), Stacks (STX), and Snowfall Protocol (SNW) are three of the best cryptos to invest in right now.

>>BUY TOKENS<<

Aave (AAVE)

Aave (AAVE) is a decentralized lending platform that allows users to earn interest on their deposited cryptocurrencies. Aave (AAVE) also offers a unique Flash Loan feature, which allows users to borrow funds instantly without having to put up any collateral.

Aave (AAVE) has seen tremendous growth since its launch in January 2017. In the next era of the blockchain industry, Aave (AAVE) will continue to grow at an explosive rate. This is because as more people become aware of the benefits of Aave (AAVE), more people will use the platform to earn interest on their deposited cryptocurrencies.

Stacks (STX)

Stacks (STX) is a smart contract platform that allows developers to build decentralized applications (dApps). Stacks (STX) enable Bitcoin dApps to be built on this new platform.

The Stacks (STX) team is composed of experienced developers who have been working on the Bitcoin protocol for many years. By unlocking the power of Bitcoin for dApp development, Stacks (STX) will enable a new wave of innovation in the blockchain industry.

With so much potential with Bitcoin and creating use cases on this new smart contract platform, Stacks (STX) is one crypto that you don’t want to miss out on.

Snowfall Protocol (SNW)

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is a new protocol that enables communication between different blockchains. It enables users to swap digital assets seamlessly. Currently, assets are locked within their native blockchain. This is like being stuck in one city and not being able to move to another.

With Snowfall Protocol (SNW), you will be able to move your assets easily between different blockchains without any hassle. This interoperability use case has led the cryptocurrency to increase by 80% within presale. This capability that will unlock the entire blockchain industry will result in (SNW) increasing by an additional 5000% according to market experts.

Industry leaders foresee that Snowfall Protocol (SNW) has the potential to increase over 1000x its original value. The price of snowfall is now $0.009, which means the upside potential is still significant. It’s wise to learn more about this project and you can do so with the links below. Don’t let this rare opportunity pass you by!

Chinese Government Sets up Police Stations in Nigeria and other African Countries

2

The Chinese government has opened police stations in Nigeria and in over 20 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa as part of its measures to curtail criminal activities being perpetrated by its citizens abroad.

According to a report, titled, ‘110 Overseas Chinese Policing Gone Wild.’ which was released on Tuesday by the Pan-Asian  Human Rights NGO, Safeguard Defenders, the repression of Chinese living abroad suspected to have been involved in crimes has become alarming. Hence, the police stations are created to bring “down on all kinds of illegal and criminal activities involving overseas Chinese” in accordance with international laws and best policing practices.

“Rather than using legal forms of international cooperation, they resort to pressuring targets to return, in fact some 230,000 people for a little over a year. Tied to this, a new law this year will establish full extraterritorial powers for China” the report shows.

The report also read: “Rather than cooperating with local authorities in the full respect of territorial sovereignty, it prefers… to cooperate with (United Front-linked) overseas ‘NGOs’ or ‘civil society associations’ across the the continents, setting up an alternative policing and judicial system within third countries, and directly implicating those organisations in the illegal methods employed to pursue ‘fugitives’.”

It further said that as part of a massive nationwide campaign to combat fraud and telecommunication fraud by Chinese citizens living abroad, Chinese authorities claimed that from April 2021 to July 2022, 230,000 nationals had been, “persuaded to return” to face criminal proceedings in China.

According to the Vanguard, the rights group revealed that China selected nine countries as having serious fraud, telecom fraud and web crimes, and Chinese nationals were no longer allowed to stay in those countries without “good reason.”

“While establishing these operations to hunt down those accused of fraud and telecommunications fraud, China has identified nine countries particularly prone to hosting Chinese nationals engaging in such criminal activities, the ‘nine forbidden countries” the Safeguard explained.

The group also noted that forsaking any “pretext of due process or the consideration of suspects’ innocence until proven guilty, targeting suspects’ children and relatives in China as ‘guilty by association’ or ‘collateral damage’, and using threats and intimidation to target suspects abroad, is now itself becoming an endemic problem.”

“Whether the targets are dissidents, corrupt officials or low-level criminals, the problem remains the same: The use of irregular methods — often combining carrots with sticks — against the targeted individual or their family members in China undermines any due process and the most basic rights of suspects” Safeguard Defender further stated.

Apart from Nigeria, Lesotho and Tanzania are the two other African countries that have Chinese police stations.

 

 

Nigeria Faces New Financial Stress As Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Declares Force Majeure

Nigeria is seeing asymmetric attacks from all angles. Naira is struggling. Inflation is eating savings. Insecurity is there. NNPC has not found a chequebook to send money to the federation account for months. Now, Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG), the sparkling goldfish, has declared force majeure:

“Nigeria’s flood disaster that is rapidly escalating across its states has created further economic challenges for the country. In addition to over 600 deaths, more than 1.4 million displaced persons, and submerging farmlands across Nigeria, the flood is set to exacerbate the country’s insufficient revenue generation. Bloomberg reports that Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Ltd. has declared force majeure on shipments from its Bonny Island liquefied natural gas facility after supplies were cut off by flooding.”

If you are a government staff, this may be a time to think of a backup plan. There is a high chance that the government will close ministries and departments since I expect tough decisions ahead, irrespective of who wins next year. Nigeria will require a fundamental redesign in its economic architecture to remain financially viable as a nation.

“The notice by the gas suppliers was a result of high flood water levels in their operational areas, leading to a shut-in of gas production which has caused significant disruption of gas supply to NLNG,” Bloomberg quoted the company spokesman Andy Odeh as saying by email on Monday.

This comes at the heels of growing shortfalls in Nigeria’s crude oil production, which has seen the country’s revenue significantly drop in the past few years, forcing Africa’s largest economy to depend on borrowing to fund its budgets.

Bloomberg noted that NLNG, which can produce 22 million tons of LNG a year, was already falling short of its production capacity due to difficulties securing adequate feedstock.

The force majeure means that the operation of NLNG, which is a joint venture between the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Co., Shell Plc, TotalEnergies SE and Eni SpA, will reel on the mercy of the flood until further notice.

Nigeria’s Budget Deficit to Worsen As NLNG Declares Force Majeure

Nigeria’s Budget Deficit to Worsen As NLNG Declares Force Majeure

Nigeria’s flood disaster that is rapidly escalating across its states has created further economic challenges for the country. In addition to over 600 deaths, more than 1.4 million displaced persons, and submerging farmlands across Nigeria, the flood is set to exacerbate the country’s insufficient revenue generation.

Bloomberg reports that Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Ltd. has declared force majeure on shipments from its Bonny Island liquefied natural gas facility after supplies were cut off by flooding.

“The notice by the gas suppliers was a result of high flood water levels in their operational areas, leading to a shut-in of gas production which has caused significant disruption of gas supply to NLNG,” Bloomberg quoted the company spokesman Andy Odeh as saying by email on Monday.

This comes at the heels of growing shortfalls in Nigeria’s crude oil production, which has seen the country’s revenue significantly drop in the past few years, forcing Africa’s largest economy to depend on borrowing to fund its budgets.

Bloomberg noted that NLNG, which can produce 22 million tons of LNG a year, was already falling short of its production capacity due to difficulties securing adequate feedstock.

The force majeure means that the operation of NLNG, which is a joint venture between the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Co., Shell Plc, TotalEnergies SE and Eni SpA, will reel on the mercy of the flood until further notice.

The statement shared by the company said that it is “reviewing the situation with gas suppliers to ascertain the extent of the disruption to its operations,” and that it will try to “mitigate the impact of the force majeure to the extent reasonably possible.”

This development means that Nigeria’s budget, which it has much counted on the proceeds from NLNG operation to finance, will suffer further deficit.

Financial analyst, Kalu Aja, said the floods are now the defining economic story, nothing comes close.

“It’s like someone pressing a “pause” button on commerce,” he said. “This isn’t good.”

On the impact the NLNG’s force majeure will have on the budget, Aja told Tekedia: “NLNG input to budget is via dividend and taxes.

“Gas Taxes are going to fall because output has fallen, this cements that narrative.

“Dividends will also be depressed; MD of NLNG said they have list $7b in sales so far, Portugal looking for another supplier.

“Overall, this hits federal government’s independent revenues as well as federation revenues paid via loss of gas taxes.”

The impact of the floods, especially in the oil producing states, is devastating and the federal government is seen as not doing anything of significance to mitigate it despite receiving billions of naira in ecological funds.

Meanwhile, Social Economic Rights & Accountability Project (SERAP), a non-profit organization fighting for social and economic justice, said it is suing the government.

“We’re suing the Buhari administration and Nigeria’s governors over the ongoing flooding in parts of the country, with catastrophic effects, and to pursue accountability on how trillions of ecological funds have gone down the drain, and ensure justice for the victims,” it said.

Update: NLNG Statement

We are still in operation!

Our attention has been brought to media reports, following the issuance of a statement declaring Force Majeure on Monday 17th October 2022, that operations at its facilities have been shut down due to flood.
To correct some misinformation on the declaration, we would like to clarify:

1.        The Company’s plant is in operation though at a limited capacity, due to reduced gas supply from some of its upstream gas suppliers.
2.        None of NLNG’s assets on Bonny Island or in any of its host communities are impacted by the flood. The Force Majeure is as a consequence of a similar notice by Upstream Gas Suppliers due to the impact of flood in their production facilities.
3.        NLNG is working with all critical stakeholders on mitigating the impact on product deliveries.
4. NLNG continues to supply LPG to the domestic market for now from the limited production.

We continue to monitor the situation with Upstream Gas Suppliers and are evaluating the impact of the flood on its business.
