Matrixport Forecast Bitcoin To Hit $60,000 As Amount of Chainlink on Exchanges Drop

Total Media

Matrixport has predicted that Bitcoin will reach $60,000 in the coming months as the market prepares for the 2024 bull run. Meanwhile, data shows that Chainlink holdings on exchanges have dropped. Also, Everlodge is preparing for the next stage of its presale and could skyrocket in the coming weeks. Bitcoin (BTC) Price To Hit $60,000 in April According to Matrixport's report on December 1st, Bitcoin is on a bullish trajectory, projected to reach $63,140 by April 2024. This expected increase can be attributed to various factors. They include historical trends, mining reward halving, and favorable macroeconomic conditions. Matrixport has maintained confidence in Bitcoin price to hit $125K after the upcoming halving event. In the "Matrix on Target" report dated November 22nd, it was predicted that Bitcoin would exceed $38,000 by the end of November, with an 80% probability. Subsequently, a rally to $40,000 in December was forecasted with a 90% probability. This Bitcoin prediction is further supported by the buzz surrounding spot Bitcoin ETFs. Chainlink (LINK) Ready To Rise As Holdings on Exchanges Drop Chainlink (LINK) released an updated staking system for LINK holders on November 28th. This staking update likely made Chainlink coin holders more optimistic about the future. According to data from Santiment, the amount of Chainlink held on exchanges decreased to 15.04% of Chainlink's total supply. This level was last recorded in February 2020. Analysts have projected a possible Chainlink price following the drop in available LINK tokens on exchanges. They explained it would lead to a decrease in the pressure to sell the asset. The Chainlink price chart has already been bullish. The price of Chainlink has increased by 33.5% on the monthly chart. Chainlink token is currently stuck between the $13.85 and $15.21 price range. Everlodge (ELDG): Own Properties in Miami and Dubai Aside from Bitcoin and Chainlink, Everlodge (ELDG) has also gained the attention of the crypto space, thanks to its utility and use case. Everlodge has reshaped the real estate industry by introducing an innovative approach to property trading. Traditionally, ownership of luxurious villas in prime locations like Miami and Dubai was limited to a privileged few. However, Everlodge's platform has revolutionized this landscape. It has broadened access to luxury property investments, thanks to its unique NFT fractional ownership model. Additionally, Everlodge has included artificial intelligence to enhance the functionality of its marketplace. The AI tool was designed to monitor real estate trends worldwide.

It has benefits like discounts and staking incentives. Its price is expected to rise to $0.50 by 2024's first quarter, according to experts. This prediction is supported by Everlodge's integration into the vast $280 trillion global real estate market. For more information, please visit the Everlodge website.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Londonderry, NH Wins Business of the Year

Minuteman Press International Inc

For over 8 years and counting, Bob Bean has been the proud owner of the Minuteman Press franchise in Londonderry, New Hampshire located at 44 Nashua Road, Unit 18. When Bob purchased the business in October of 2015, he followed the Minuteman Press system and immediately became involved with several community groups and organizations. Thanks to Bob’s hard work and dedication, Minuteman Press in Londonderry has won the Business of the Year award from the Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of Commerce. Bob accepted the award at the special awards dinner that was held on Oct. 12, 2023 at the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry NH. Bob shares his humble reaction to winning the award and provides his insights on the importance of being an active member of local groups in order to build relationships and generate referrals. He also talks about his journey to Minuteman Press and how his passion for helping others drives him today. What does it mean to you to win Business of the Year? H ow are you active in your community? Bob Bean: “Receiving the Business of the Year is a humbling experience. It was a surprise, I did not know that we had made such an impact in the Chamber and business community for this recognition. We have just tried to provide services to the businesses and the community to the best of our ability. It is great to be recognized and know that we are doing a good job with in the communities that we serve. I am involved in two local Chambers, member of the Rotary Club of Londonderry, and have been an active member in BNI for 8 years. I have made many connections with a lot of the non-profits in the area and work with them to help with their needs and support their functions. With the local rotary we have sponsored Christmas on the Commons, Senior High School Graduation Banners have donated to many non-profits and helped with fuel assistance during the winter months. I am also involved with the Freemasons in the state.” How would you best describe your community? Bob Bean: “ The Derry/Londonderry community are the largest two towns that are in the chamber and we have several smaller towns in the chamber also. New Hampshire does not have a lot of large metropolitan areas; it is made up more of small towns that are convenient to bordering states. Other than small businesses and small business owners, the majority of the communities are made up of people that work out of state. The people and businesses in the community are open and always look for ways to help each other when possible. As business owners, we all want to support each other and do what we can to see that we can grow and thrive.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business? Bob Bean: “Networking is the key that has worked for us. Since 2015, I have been a member of the chamber and of BNI. I have always been very active in the networking area by going to meetings, ribbon-cuttings, events, and visiting businesses. We took advantage of the upgraded minuteman.com website to get some traffic through online channels. One of the other biggest ways we’ve built the business is through referrals from our customers and the organizations we work with.” What are your high-demand products and services? Bob Bean: “We have been able to provide direct mail services for many of our clients; this has been a big part of the business over the last few years especially during the pandemic. We also do a lot of marketing catalogs and Playbills for several theater groups and music groups.” What was your previous background? Why did you choose Minuteman Press? Bob Bean: “I was in the computer industry for almost 40 years. Most of my career was in management both in manufacturing and support. I was a Field Service Representative for a computer company for many years. Then, for 20 years, I was a Technical Support Manager for a supermarket chain. I chose Minuteman Press because of the research I did on the company and talking to the Regional Vice President and several store owners.” What has the support from Minuteman Press been like for you? Bob Bean: “Minuteman Press International support has been good on all levels. When I have a question, we can usually get an answer quickly. When there is an issue, support has been good at assisting in resolving the issue.” What are the biggest personal and professional rewards of owning your business? Bob Bean: “Personal and professional goals are similar in that I enjoy helping people and organizations. This business has given me the chance to connect with many more people and organizations to be able to help and give my knowledge and experience to them so that they can succeed.” What advice would you give to other business owners right now? Bob Bean: “Get involved with your local Chamber of Commerce and BNI Networking Group. These two are very critical to the growth and success of the business. Also, look into other organizations and groups like the Exchange, Rotary, Kiwanis, or whatever is in your area and local to your business. But do not just join these groups; get involved and be active in what is going on with the groups and be involved in the community. You get out of them what you put into them, so if you are active and visible then you will be the person or business that others will seek out and rely on for help and advice.” For more information on Minuteman Press in Londonderry, NH, visit https://minuteman.com/us/locations/nh/londonderry/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and read Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com.

Bitcoin Eyes $40k, Polygon Set To Explode While New Token Leads With Real AI Use in Crypto

Total Media

Excitement has been rekindled in the crypto market after the Fed hinted at a potential interest rate drop. Bitcoin has capitalized on this, surging past $40,000 to set its sights on $44,000. Polygon (MATIC) is another crypto that has gained momentum in the last few days. Because of this, a top crypto analyst has predicted a potential price surge for MATIC. Amidst the price rally, Everlodge has caught the attention of the crypto space. The project has gained popularity as it looks to lead the adoption of real AI in the crypto space. Bitcoin Has Reclaimed $40,000, Sets Sight on $444,000 A key Fed official has raised the possibility of a rate cut by spring if inflation keeps slowing. The announcement provided the cryptocurrency market a positive boost. Profiting from the optimistic outlook, Bitcoin surged beyond $40,000. The price of Bitcoin will surpass $44k if it breaks above $43,400. Additionally, TradingView data has indicated that the price of Bitcoin may soon surpass $40,000. The approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF is imminent, which might lead to a price rise above $50,000. Analysts have projected that the Bitcoin price could increase to $100,000 by the time of the Bitcoin halving. Some have projected a price of $100,000 for BTC by April 2024. Polygon (MATIC) Could Surge Soon Pseudonymous analyst Bluntz has shared his sentiments about Polygon (MATIC). Based on his analysis, MATIC is currently showing significant bullish signs. According to Bluntz, the price of Polygon is ready for a potential 20% push. When this happens, the price of MATIC could rally to a new high above $1. The MATIC price last traded above $1 in May. Several developments could cause the Polygon price to increase. First, the network is looking to transition. As part of the upgrade, the Polygon network will launch a rebranded POL token. In addition, Lumoz has announced that they will launch StableNet - an EVM-compatible ZK-Rollup - on Polygon. These events could provide the momentum for a price increase for the Polygon coin. Everlodge Leads Adoption of Real AI in Crypto Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the hottest trends in recent months. According to experts, AI will eventually prove to be priceless for platforms that rely on smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Everlodge has embraced this, integrating AI into its blockchain-based real estate marketplace. The purpose of these tools is to assist Everlodge members in making better investment decisions in real estate. These tools are available to Everlodge customers for monitoring, scanning, and analyzing worldwide real estate values. They will not only have access to the most recent global real estate prices, but the AI technologies will also be able to forecast future values. Everlodge wants to provide these properties with more optimized access. The integration of AI aligns with the project's objective of facilitating global accessibility and ease of real estate investing. Due to this, the project has already become popular in the crypto space, drawing a lot of investors to purchase ELDG, the native network token. The project has quickly sold over 18 million ELDG tokens. Also, because Everlodge is connected to the real estate market, which is valued at over $280 trillion, analysts have expressed optimism about it. They have therefore estimated greater upside potential for Everlodge than the Polygon coin. By 2024, ELDG could easily reach $1 per token, while trading at $0.025 at the moment.

Microsoft Shareholder Seeks Accountability for Transgender Policies; Opposes Reid Hoffman for Board

NLPC

At the annual meeting for Microsoft Corporation on Thursday, National Legal and Policy Center will present a shareholder proposal that demands the company deliver an analysis of potential discrimination in the insurance coverage it offers employees, as it pertains to gender. Specifically, NLPC has identified coverage for so-called “transgender” staffers who desire to switch from their birth sex. Meanwhile the tech giant – otherwise generous in its benefits coverage, which includes paying for women to travel out of their home states to get abortions, if it’s unlawful where they live – has no provisions in its health plans for those who rue their life-altering “transition” decisions. In support of the proposal, NLPC also filed a proxy memo with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which explains in greater detail the reasons why shareholders should support its resolution for the Microsoft meeting, which is Proposal 5 on the company’s proxy statement. As the nonprofit shareholder reports, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission prohibits discrimination “in the payment of wages or employee benefits” based on gender, and thus Microsoft’s failure to accommodate de-transitioning workers is clearly biased and inequitable treatment. “A ‘de-transitioner’ fits into Dept. of Labor- and EEOC-protected categories of prohibited discrimination, which include ‘sex’ – expressly incorporating ‘gender identity’ and ‘sexual orientation,’” NLPC reported. “Arguably, for a ‘de-transitioner,’ the protected categories of ‘disability’ and/or ‘genetic information’ could also be cited as possible bases for discrimination.” “While Microsoft boasts about its perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign for capitulating to their radical LGBT agenda, those who are permanently scarred as a consequence of their policies have nowhere to turn for help,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. As NLPC’s proposal states, many regretful transitioners are harmed with “various long-lasting side effects like chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, unwanted hair loss and hair gain, menstrual irregularities, urinary problems, and other complications. Rather than resolve mental health problems, such ‘gender affirming’ care instead often exacerbates them.” NLPC also notes how sufferers are becoming increasingly litigious, which could present material risk to Microsoft shareholders, as noted in the proxy memo to the SEC: Michelle Zacchigna had her uterus and breasts removed, and is suing the eight providers who treated her over their “recklessness.” “Distress related to my gender was treated to the exclusion of other serious mental health issues which went undiagnosed for years. Blind affirmation of my stated identity closed the door to alternative treatment options. What happened to me should never happen again.” Those who desire to “de-transition” cannot find needed treatment, whether from providers or insurance companies… Prisha Mosley said every primary care physician, endocrinologist, obstetrician, and gynecologist she’s approached on her insurance list has turned her away or said they can’t help. “I could call and be rejected every single day.” Chloe Cole said, “I reached out to every physician, every therapist who is involved with this, and I haven’t really gotten any help at all.” Cat Cattinson said, “Because of the experimental nature of gender medicine, doctors know very little about the long-term effects of medical transition and even less about the health-care needs of those who de-transition.” “Microsoft is not only vulnerable legally and financially because it fails to cover care for de-transitioners,” Chesser said, “but also because the company’s stated policies affirm it is possible to change one’s gender. If a judge and jury were to decide the company lied and convinced an employee into undergoing chemical or surgical castration, that is a material risk that Microsoft must disclose in its 10-K annual report to shareholders.” In addition to its shareholder proposal, NLPC also filed another proxy memo with the SEC to oppose the re-election of LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman for Microsoft’s board of directors. The move follows a letter that Chesser sent to Microsoft’s board in October, which asked for the removal of the tech billionaire from the board, due to his hyper-partisan political activities and his connections to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
