Analyst Ali Martinez Makes a Bullish Pepe Price Prediction; Shiba Inu and KangaMoon Remain Top Meme Coins To Watch

Kangamoon

Meme coins are always causing hype in the DeFi sphere. This time, analyst Ali Martinez gave Pepe (PEPE) a thumbs up, and things got even more exciting. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu (SHIB) and KangaMoon (KANG) remain the top meme coins to watch. Some analysts hint that KANG (a Stage 6 presale star) may jump by 1,000% in 2024. Let’s discover why. Ali Martinez: The Pepe Price May Hit $0.00000274 Recently, crypto analyst Ali Martinez made some headlines with his Pepe (PEPE) price prediction. According to his tweet, this meme coin may surge to $0.00000274 soon. In terms of the Pepe price movement, it has jumped from $0.0000012 to $0.0000020 in the past week alone. Its market cap grew from $505M to $856M in that period. Meanwhile, there are now 23 technical indicators flashing green for the Pepe coin. Thus, experts remain bullish. They foresee the Pepe price reaching $0.000010 within Q2 of 2024. Shiba Inu (SHIB): SHIB Army Propose a SHIB ETF Meanwhile, there were some exciting Shiba Inu (SHIB) developments. For instance, the SHIB army made a new proposal on Change.org for a Shiba Inu ETF by Grayscale. This petition has already obtained close to 2,000 signatures. This Shiba Inu news may trigger a bullish run for this crypto. The Shiba Inu crypto has surged from $0.0000091 to $0.00001031 over the past 30 days. This meme coin’s market cap increased from $5.37B to $6B during that period. Furthermore, over 25 technical indicators are flashing green. As a result, analysts predict Shiba Inu will reach $0.000016 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): Brings Innovation to the Meme Coin Space KangaMoon (KANG) is a game changer in the meme coin market. Standing out from its peers that often have no use, KangaMoon integrates Social Fi and play-to-earn (P2E) elements into one. Introducing a P2E game for KangaMoon makes it different, as it will let players use KANG tokens for character upgrades, in-game purchases, and more. This new utility sets KangaMoon as a strong competitor in this sector. You can spectate matches, bet with your KANG holdings, and unlock weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges. By completing these challenges, you earn extra in-game items and tokens, which can be sold on the KangaMoon marketplace. In Stage 2 of its presale, KANG has already raised nearly $150K, with each meme coin priced at just $0.0075. This marked up a staggering 50% from its starting price. These are amazing numbers that beat expectations by far. However, market analysts predict that once KANG hits exchanges in Q2 2024, it could see a 100x surge. Anyone may start earning KANG tokens before its official launch by buying one meme coin and spreading the word on social media. If interested, sign below for a 10% bonus on each purchase. Can KangaMoon Outpace Pepe and Shiba Inu? KangaMoon has a market cap of just $7.5M. With a lower valuation than competitors like Pepe and Shiba Inu, it will require fewer new funds to increase its price. As it faces off against these peers, KangaMoon’s potential for rapid growth rises significantly. Thus, KANG may be one of the top meme coins to invest in for fast returns.

Photography and Videography Jobs Soar in 2023, Finds Freelancer.com

FREELANCER.COM

Freelancer.com (ASX: FLN), the world’s largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace by number of users and jobs posted, today published the fastest growing online jobs for 2023 based on data from more than 1 million projects posted to the platform. The data reveals that jobs related to video content creation are in high demand. Videography ranked as the second fastest growing skill of 2023, with Video Production and Video Editing jobs also growing significantly and placing in the top growing jobs. Other video-related jobs, such as YouTube Video Editing and TikTok, were also amongst the top 25 fastest growing jobs on Freelancer.com for 2023. Fueling this demand is an increase of brands incorporating video in their marketing strategies. According to Wyzowl, video content marketing is an essential part of a majority (88%) of marketers strategies with most (85%) planning to increase spending on video in 2024. Demand for skills in photography and photo editing was also a driver for new jobs. Adobe Lightroom projects saw the highest percentage growth across the year, while Photography as a skill grew by 3,625 total jobs. In terms of earning potential, freelancers in the United States are charging up to $300/hour for Photography skills, $200/hour for Videography and Video Editing, and $160/hour to create TikTok content. “Advances in generative AI are changing the way businesses are communicating and marketing themselves. A boom in video and photography services is a clear indication that there’s a shift towards visual, highly-produced content as opposed to reliance on legacy forms of internet marketing, such as a reliance on blog posts and articles to generate traffic. We expect this trend to continue and are already seeing signs of video and marketing categories continuing to increase in 2024,” said Matt Barrie, Chief Executive at Freelancer.com. One example of how businesses are shifting towards video and moving away from written content is evident when looking at the decreasing skills of 2023. Blog writing ranked as 13th in the top falling jobs on Freelancer.com, decreasing by 66% from 4,872 to 1,648 jobs posted in 2023. While some may speculate that the introduction of generative AI tools is impacting writing, blog writing was the only writing skill present in the falling jobs. In fact, other forms of writing such as Fiction Writing (up 36.1%), Creative Writing (up 18.8%) and Microsoft Word (up 16.8%) were both amongst the fastest growing jobs of the year. “AI can’t replace creativity, yet. Although this may emerge with model scale. We said this in the middle of the year when we saw creative writing jobs increase in Q2 2023 and the sentiment remains the same in 2024. What we are seeing is that our freelancers are moving up the stack. They’re evolving from just blog writers to editors. Moving from just illustrators to directors. Ultimately, AI is elevating our talent and improving efficiency and productivity in the process,” added Barrie.

Willy Woo Bitcoin (BTC) Price Forecast, Rising Interest in Ethereum (ETH) ETFs - KangaMoon (KANG) Price Surges

Kangamoon

Renowned analyst Willy Woo predicts a significant shift in Bitcoin's price dynamics, suggesting that the pioneer cryptocurrency may not dip below $30,000 again if a particular on-chain pattern persists. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) ETFs have emerged as a focal point of interest following the recent approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). More interestingly, KangaMoon (KANG) has made waves in the meme coin market with its innovative approach and emphasis on utility and innovation. Serving as the in-game currency for an upcoming play-to-earn (P2E) game, KangaMoon offers players a unique gaming experience coupled with social-fi elements. Willy Woo: Bitcoin (BTC) Won’t Drop Below $30,000 Again According to Willy Woo, if a specific on-chain pattern remains consistent, it's unlikely that Bitcoin (BTC) will drop below $30,000 again. Bitcoin’s chart illustrates dense horizontal bands representing price regions where a significant portion of the supply changed hands among investors, indicating strong agreed-upon values. Woo highlights three key factors associated with this Bitcoin pattern: strong bands of agreed-upon price, transitioning out of a bear market, and approaching the next halving event, marked by vertical bands on the chart. In instances where these conditions align, Bitcoin's price tends to avoid revisiting these established support levels, leading to an "up only” trend. Rising Interest in Ethereum ETFs: SEC Decision Awaited This year, there have been significant developments in the crypto market, indicating a growing interest among companies in establishing a spot Ethereum ETF. Following the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs, analysts are now looking towards Ethereum (ETH). Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart has suggested that a decision on Ethereum ETFs will be made on May 23. Major firms such as BlackRock, VanEck, Hashdex, and Grayscale are actively seeking approval from the SEC. Recently, Franklin Templeton also joined the race for an Ethereum ETF approval, reflecting increasing investor interest in the second-ranked asset. KangaMoon (KANG): Redefining MemeCoins KangaMoon (KANG) is causing a stir in the meme coin market with its unique approach. Unlike traditional memecoins, KangaMoon aims to stand out by emphasizing utility and innovation. Instead of being just meme coin, KangaMoon serves as the in-game currency for an upcoming KangaMoon play-to-earn (P2E) game. In this game, players can engage in battles, spectate matches, and even bet on outcomes, creating an exciting mix of gaming and social-fi elements. Moreover, KangaMoon holders enjoy exclusive benefits such as access to weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges, which offer extra tokens and in-game items. These items can then be traded on the KangaMoon marketplace, adding another layer of utility to the token. Currently, KangaMoon is in Stage 2 of its presale, with a price of $0.0075 per token. However, anticipation is high for another significant surge in value once a Tier-1 centralized exchange lists KangaMoon in the second quarter of 2024. With experts predicting a potential 1,000% surge in value post-listing, there's no better time to get involved with KangaMoon. Investors can take advantage of the current 15% bonus available for a limited time and start earning KANG tokens by purchasing them and spreading the word on social media. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

CME To Launch Euro-based Micro Bitcoin & Ether Futures, MultiversX Launches New Service on Google Cloud, KangaMoon Soars 50%

Kangamoon

CME is gearing up to introduce Euro-based micro Bitcoin and Ethereum futures in March. Meanwhile, MultiversX has launched a new service on Google Cloud called "1-click." Additionally, the KangaMoon presale has attracted huge attention from traders. Those looking for what crypto to invest in have turned to KangaMoon as the best opportunity in the crypto market. CME Eyeing Euro-Based Futures The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) recently shared news on X about the plan of Euro-denominated micro Bitcoin and Ethereum futures. The launch is expected to occur on March 18th. The exchange also mentioned that this launch is awaiting regulatory approval. This announcement follows the successful introduction of micro Bitcoin futures in May 2021 and micro Ethereum futures in December 2021, both denominated in U.S. dollars. Giovanni Vicioso, the CME Group Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products, pointed out a 4x increase in trading volume for these USD-denominated micro futures. This is a sign of rising interest in such products. Meanwhile, the move to introduce Euro-denominated futures is part of the CME Group's strategy to grow its global audience. MultiversX (EGLD) Launches 1-click' Blockchain Node Service On Google Cloud MultiversX (EGLD) has unveiled a new service that integrates blockchain node functionality on Google Cloud. This development allows developers to link their applications with the MultiversX network and execute operations such as data retrieval and entry. This service is called a "1-click" operation, as it simplifies the sharding process. Through the Google cloud services marketplace, developers can enjoy a simple deployment solution. Unfortunately, MultiversX coin has not reacted positively to the news. It has dropped 5.6% in the past week from a high of $62.26 to a low of $56.31. Despite the price drop, the altcoin has maintained a 9.5% increase on the monthly chart. KangaMoon (KANG) To Experience a Massive Surge in 2024 KangaMoon (KANG) has captured the attention of both analysts and investors with its upcoming blockchain ICO. The presale for its native token, KANG, has entered stage 2. The token is worth just $0.0075, making it one of the most affordable options in the market and an attractive choice for investors seeking what crypto to invest in. This bullish rejection is fueled by KangaMoon's connection to the play-to-earn NFT gaming market. Per Yahoo Finance, this market was valued at $329 million in 2022. KangaMoon's strategy revolves around integrating Social-Fi and Play-to-Earn (P2E) features on a single platform, aiming to create an engaging and rewarding experience for meme coin enthusiasts. Users can participate in tournaments and contests to earn rewards and incentives. Additionally, KangaMoon offers ways for users to earn indirectly by betting on other players' outcomes. Notably, KANG token holders enjoy various benefits within the KangaMoon ecosystem. They will be able to sell rewards or assets on the KangaMoon marketplace and have governance rights to influence platform decisions. With KangaMoon in its second stage, the number of tokens available for the presale is decreasing. Therefore, investors are encouraged to participate in the blockchain ICO to capitalize on potential gains during and after the launch. Conclusion While CME wants to launch Euro-based micro Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, MultiversX has released a "1-click" operation to make developers' work easier. In other news, investors have shown interest in KangaMoon's altcoin, KANG. Smart investors have been buying KANG and enjoying a 15% bonus on their purchases. You should do the same. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor Will Not Sell Any Bitcoin (BTC); KangaMoon (KANG) and Solana (SOL) Continue Skyrocketing

Kangamoon

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, reaffirms his commitment to Bitcoin (BTC) and chooses to hold onto his crypto instead of selling it. While that’s happening, KangaMoon (KANG), now in Stage 2 of its presale, has soared by 50%. Some analysts even hint it may become the next 100x meme coin in 2024. Not only that, Solana (SOL) is now riding a bullish wave. Michael Saylor To Buy Bitcoin (BTC) Forever In a recent Bloomberg interview, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor announced that he would never sell his Bitcoin (BTC) holdings. He also stated that Bitcoin is far superior to real estate and gold. This bullish Bitcoin news may trigger further growth for this crypto. The BTC value movement has jumped from $40,710 to $51,330 in the past month alone. Its market cap increased from $800B to $1T in that period. Sentiment for Bitcoin is also bullish, as 26 technical indicators are green. Thus, experts predict a pump to $71,565 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): May Become One of the Meme Coin Titans KangaMoon (KANG) has a fresh approach to meme coins. Unlike most, KANG will have actual utility in the KangaMoon play-to-earn (P2E) game. This unique meme coin is currently in Stage 2 of its presale, rewarding early buyers with a 50% ROI. KangaMoon also incorporates social-fi elements that other meme coins don’t have into its ecosystem. Users can bet on matches, watch others at it, and more. KANG token holders also gain access to weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges. These challenges reward you with tokens and in-game items you can sell on the KangaMoon marketplace. Those looking to begin earning this innovative meme coin may now do so by becoming a KANG token holder and spreading the word about it on social media. Currently, one KANG token costs just $0.0075. Experts predict a 1,000% surge when a Tier-1 CEX lists it in Q2 of 2024. If interested, sign up for this presale below and obtain a 15% bonus on all purchases.

In terms of its value movement, it has jumped from $87 to $103 in the past month alone. Its market cap rose from $38B to $45B during that time. Technical analysis suggests that this altcoin may go on with the current upward trend. For instance, 19 technical indicators are flashing green for the Solana coin. Therefore, experts predict that SOL will trade at $147 within Q2 of 2024. Bitcoin vs. KangaMoon vs. Solana - Which One Surges First? Currently, KangaMoon has a market cap of $7.5M. This will let it grow faster than popular coins like Bitcoin and Solana for now. KangaMoon doesn’t need new funds coming in as often as its counterparts to get that big push and reach its goals. As a result, KANG looks to be one of the best new meme coins. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

Analysts at Bernstein Predict Bitcoin To Hit $70K In 2024, Polkadot NFT Minting Soars, KangaMoon Presale Buzzing

Kangamoon

Bernstein analysts have projected a bullish future for Bitcoin, expecting it to soar to $70K by 2024. Meanwhile, Polkadot has set a new NFT minting record. In other developments, KangaMoon's presale is gathering momentum, positioning itself as the best crypto to buy right now. Bitcoin (BTC) Forecasted To Hit $70k in 2024 Bernstein's analysts foresee a bright future for Bitcoin (BTC). They have predicted that its price could surpass $69,000 and hit $70,000 this year. Analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra conveyed their optimism in a message to investors. They stated that the prediction may take time and may not be smooth. In their analysis, the analysts highlighted the $42,000 to $43,000 price range as an optimal entry point. They described it as a "no-regrets price with asymmetric upside." Meanwhile, the analysts pegged their bullish prediction on four key factors. These factors include the high inflow of Bitcoin ETFs, election impact on the US SEC, macroeconomic conditions, and advisor network responses. At the moment, the price of Bitcoin is fluctuating between $41,971.37 and $43,654.52 on the weekly price chart. A rise to $70,000 would signify an increase of 65%. Polkadot (DOT) NFT Minting Sets New Record On February 6th, Polkadot (DOT) marked a major achievement, minting 4,930 NFTs each minute. This sets a new record for minting speed, surpassing the performance of Solana and Polygon. Polkadot achieved this while creating NFTs for the Web3 game "Forever Has Fallen." It used Unique Network, a Polkadot parachain dedicated to composable NFTs. This latest news comes after Polkadot coin reported increased user activity and the number of developers in Q4 2023. Despite the increase in user activity and mining activity on the network, its native token, DOT, is under bearish hold. Data from CoinMarketCap showed that Polkadot coin has dropped 2.8% and 1.4% on the monthly and weekly price charts, respectively. The altcoin is currently fluctuating between $6.58 and $6.99. KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Attracts Investors With the crypto bull run on the way, investors are looking for the best coin to invest in. Luckily for them, KangaMoon (KANG) is making waves as an exciting new venture, poised to launch a unique platform designed specifically for meme coin fans, aiming to bring them together in a single community. This platform is not just about earning rewards and free tokens; it is about creating a social space where users can connect and share their passion for memecoins. While other memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu bank on hype with little underlying utility, KangaMoon's KANG token differs. Its utility ranges from offering holders exclusive discounts to rewarding them for their participation. This positions KANG as the best coin to invest in. KangaMoon is inviting meme coin fans to join its platform and earn rewards and other benefits. Regarding security, the platform's smart contracts have been examined by SOLIDProof. This is to ensure a safe environment for users. With an eye on the future, KangaMoon is gearing up to introduce many engaging features. They include a play-to-earn game that rewards active engagement, an NFT marketplace, NFT collections, and an expansive metaverse platform. KangaMoon's KANG is available for $0.005. Market experts are predicting a substantial 35x growth in value following its official launch. This is the right time to join the KangaMoon meme coin movement.

THE LIP BAR LAUNCHES ‘BAWSE VENTURES’ GRANT PROGRAM TO EMPOWER BIPOC AND WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS

The Lip Bar

The Lip Bar Inc., the trailblazing beauty company known for its commitment to authenticity and inclusivity, announces ‘ Bawse Ventures’, a micro-fund initiative aimed at supporting the next generation of BIPOC and women entrepreneurs. The program seeks to provide grant and seed funding to small businesses, addressing the critical need for financial support in the early stages of entrepreneurial journeys. The application is now available with submission criteria including: Eligibility: Business sells product or offers a service, with annual revenue of at least $50K or more, and BIPOC individuals must own at least 50% or more equity in the company Purpose: The inspiration and reasoning for the business, included but not limited to how it improves the quality of life for customers, proven interest in products/services, and goals to take the business to the next level Selection: The Lip Bar will offer up to three business owners up to $25k in funding, along with quarterly mentorship for 1-year with Founder and CEO Melissa Butler and access to selected members of Butler ’s professional network The application window is open now through April 12 th, with finalists notified in June 2024 and winners announced in September 2024. Since launching in 2012, The Lip Bar has thrived as a community-based business, driven by the unwavering support of its customers. Bawse Ventures, whose name is inspired by the brands iconic number one red matte liquid lipstick, Bawse Lady (notably loved and supported by Former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama, Actress Taraji P. Henson, and more), embodies the spirit of empowerment and a universal movement, encouraging women to embrace confidence in their entrepreneurial journeys – never hesitating to stand out and be a ‘bawse’ in their endeavors. Having encountered the hurdles of transitioning a new business from its initial stages to a larger scale, Butler has gained firsthand insight into the challenges entrepreneurs face. Witnessing the disparities in early-stage funding, particularly for business owners of color who may lack access to family or friends for financial support, Butler recognized both an opportunity and a responsibility. Motivated by her own journey, she is now driven to inspire and invest in the next generation of entrepreneurs. “ The Lip Bar was built as a community-based business,” says Butler. “Our customers’ support and belief in us allowed us to make history, and now it’s time for us to give that same love, care, and contribution back.” This initiative honors a commitment to paying it forward and creating opportunities for those who, like Butler, may not have had the same financial support to turn their dreams into reality. As BIPOC businesses hold the highest percentage of being underfunded and neglected in receiving financial backing and access to DEI programs to help get to the next level, Bawse Ventures aims to do just that. "Many people are able to raise friends and family rounds to get their businesses off the ground. But in the black and brown community, we don’t have friends and family with excess dollars to give. So, I want to be the friend that allows that next generation of entrepreneurs to follow their dreams fearlessly," Butler adds. The combination of mentorship and funding is important for the growth and expansion of BIPOC businesses, as shown in Butler ’s network of mentors and friends that has helped accelerate the success of TLB. Bawse Ventures aims to break down barriers and provide crucial resources to empower budding entrepreneurs in building their own success stories. About TLB TLB is a beauty brand started in the kitchen of Founder and CEO, Melissa Butler while working on Wall Street. Since her early days of developing formulations, The Lip Bar has become a pioneer on clean beauty and inclusion, proudly founded and owned by a self-made Woman of Color. Since its launch in 2012, Butler has been on a mission to change the way people think about beauty. Believing that all beauty brands have the capacity to represent all beauty lovers, while creating clean and exciting products.

Stifel North Atlantic and ASTRO America Announce a First-of-its-Kind Private Equity Fund Under New DOD-SBA Initiative

ASTRO America

Small Business Administrator Isabel Guzman and National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard announced at a White House event last Wednesday that the partnership between Stifel North Atlantic (NYSE: SF) and ASTRO America is the first recipient of a “Green Light” to raise private capital for an SBIC Critical Technologies (“SBICCT”) fund. Officially called the AM Forward Critical Technologies SBIC, the Fund is actively fundraising and moving forward with the final SBA licensing process. The SBA-DoD SBICCT initiative is the first program under a historic SBA-DoD collaboration, launched by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and SBA Administrator Guzman in December 2022. By pairing private capital with SBA administered leverage, the initiative will support private sector investment in US national security-vital component-level technologies and production processes. The structure will achieve the important mission of bolstering U.S. national security and the Defense Industrial Base without reliance on deficit funding, while supporting American small businesses. “This new Fund is important to both our national security and American competitiveness,” said ASTRO co-founder and President, Neal Orringer. “Not only will it provide essential financial support to small and medium-sized manufacturers, but it will help modernize key supply chains, helping accelerate adoption of technologies such as metal 3D printing that are increasingly important to America’s defense and aerospace industries.” He continued, “We are grateful for the DoD and SBA’s leadership in developing innovative approaches for catalyzing the injection of private capital into critical defense supply chains, at no cost to the taxpayer.” ASTRO America leads the White House’s AM Forward initiative, which includes a compact between the Administration and seven iconic American lead system integrators. The AM Forward member companies identified access to capital as a key barrier to eliminating bottlenecks, modernizing and increasing resiliency within their supply chains, particularly in metal castings and forgings. In early 2023, ASTRO selected Stifel North Atlantic as the financial partner to manage the SBIC Fund based on Stifel’s rich history of support for small and middle market companies and extensive experience managing SBIC Funds. ASTRO will lead the Fund’s Technical Advisory Board. “We are deeply committed to both our unique partnership in the SBICCT fund as well as with the SBA more broadly,” shared Victor Nesi, Stifel Financial Co-President. “The SBA has made remarkable progress in developing innovative ways to reach out, support and nurture the small business ecosystem that is so foundational to our organization. We are also grateful for the thought leadership provided to this project by key AM Forward member Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT).” Mike Nitka, Managing Director at Stifel North Atlantic offered, “This fund is a rare opportunity to mix purpose and passion. We are advancing the adoption of mission-ready production technology for the US aerospace and defense supply chain while supporting the journey of emerging US small businesses. Through this revolutionary partnership with the SBA, DoD, ASTRO America, and our anchor investors, we have the opportunity to create jobs and build US manufacturing capacity. I applaud all involved as this is a truly unique non-partisan approach to solving for a universal American need – national security.” During the event, in addition to key Biden-Harris Administration officials from the White House, SBA and DoD, Stifel and ASTRO executives also met with leading investors from the financial industry and executives from major aerospace and defense companies. With committed strategic and financial investors, Stifel North Atlantic and ASTRO expect to complete the final phase of the SBICCT licensing process and execute a first closing on the Fund in the coming months. After the initial closing, the Fund will begin actively investing in small business manufacturers to help strengthen the U.S. aerospace and defense supply chains. The White House readout of the event can be read here and the SBA overview of the event can be read here. More information on the SBA-DoD SBICCT initiative can be found here.
