Bitcoin Price Prediction: Bitcoin (BTC) to Break $50k in Feb, Pullix (PLX) Set to Steal the Show For Gains

Pullix.io

The good news is Bitcoin (BTC) is coming back, the market is booming and investors are reaping the rewards. As the effect of the Bitcoin ETF begins to ease off, Bitcoin price has begun to increase and analysts are projecting more rallies as the speculated bull market gets closer. Meanwhile, the Pullix presale has amazed the crypto community with over $5 million raised. Pullix is a top-level DeFi coin and is set to be a breath of fresh air for investors who have to constantly deal with high transaction fees on many exchanges. More details below. Pullix Witnesses 15,000 Participants, Set to End Presale in 70 Days With Bitcoin coming back, Pullix will outshine many established cryptos in the next bull run. Even with the project being new in the crypto market, the Pullix ongoing presale has been a huge success, attracting the attention of whales based on its unique idea of developing a hybrid trading platform. The project has raised over $5 million in presale and is expected to raise more funds before the presale ends. With Binance, Coinbase, and Kucoin notorious for high transaction charges that reduce investors’ profitability, constant security vulnerabilities, and lack of liquidity, investors are looking for alternative platforms to lift these burdens. As such, Pullix will be the first hybrid platform to merge the features of both centralized and decentralized exchanges. The Pullix platform will be a non-custodial exchange, allowing investors a firm grip and control over their assets. The Pullix platform will provide top-notch security, liquidity, and faster transaction processing to solve the myriad of problems of the established exchanges completely. As a result, investors have flocked to the Pullix project endlessly. Over 15k users have already registered on the platform and more than 80 million PLX tokens have been sold so far. Pullix has been listed on CoinGecko and the native token, PLX, an ERC20 token is sold for only $0.10. There is also a 10% bonus which will be given to the token buyers now before the project is launched in 70 days. Early investors who joined the presale in the first stage already got over 150% ROI. As the presale winds down, investors can earn a fixed daily percentage of the platform's revenue through the profit share model of the Pullix platform. After the presale, there will be a token burn feature to stabilize the price of the PLX tokens already in circulation. With a potential ROI of 100x at launch, Pullix is a top DeFi coin that can give investors a significant profit in 2024. Bitcoin (BTC) to Hit $50k as Market Condition Improves Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a remarkable surge recently after the aftermath of the Bitcoin ETF began to ease off. The Bitcoin price has increased by 24.73% in the past 90 days as the road leading to the bull run gathers momentum. Having traded between the high of $48,969 to the low of $38,521 in the last 30 days, the coin may be set for another spark soon. The BTC price has seen an over 11% rally in the past week with the Bitcoin trading volume and market cap also experiencing an uptrend. These are signs of high trading activity which experts believe will trigger a rally in the coming days. With continued whale injection resulting in Bitcoin market dominance, analysts predict that the Bitcoin price may hit $50k before the end of Q1 of 2024. For more information regarding Pullix’s presale see links below: Visit Pullix Join The Pullix Communities Pullix is a new DeFi protocol that is launching a hybrid exchange that will seamlessly blend the strengths of centralized and decentralized exchanges into one unified platform. Serving as the pioneer of “Trade-to-Earn” our native token $PLX empowers the community to earn a portion of the daily revenues generated by the exchange.

Bumble’s 2024 Dating Trends

YourUpdateTV

Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, recently released its annual dating trends for 2024. The popular dating app garnered insights from more than 25,000 singles on Bumble around the world to identify trends that will define dating and relationships in the year to come. Recently, Bumble’s Sex and Relationships Expert, Shan Boodram, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the trends and share tips on dating in 2024. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/tA1Q2D6PV6A Heading into 2024, there is an air of optimism and clarity for the ‘year of self’ as Bumble’s research shows that more than half (57%) of women surveyed are going into the new year with a clear view of what they want from their romantic lives. According to Bumble, this year will bring about: 1. Betterment Burnout: In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in ‘self-optimization’ which has led the majority of singles (55%) to feel pressure to constantly look for ways to better themselves, leaving 1 in 4 (24%) feeling unworthy of a partner. Looking ahead to 2024, singles are rebelling against the constant self-improvement with more than 2 in 3 women surveyed (68%) taking active steps to be happier with who they are here and now. 2. Timeline Decline: People, especially women, continue to feel a constant pressure to follow traditional relationship timelines. But in 2024, women are choosing to actively build their own path, with 1 in 3 (31%) women saying they are no longer focused on adhering to traditional timelines and milestones such as dating>marriage>kids. 3. Gen(erational)-Blend Romance: This year, people are doubling down on casting a wider net, age included. For 2 in 3 (63%) people, age is not a defining factor when dating with more than half (59%) of women saying they are now more open to dating someone younger than them. Below are some tips for those looking to kickstart their dating journey in 2024: ● Create a “to feel” list rather than a “to be/to have” list. Focusing on things you want a partner “to be” or “to have” like a specific height or a specific career can lead to a match that isn’t necessarily the kind, lasting connection you’re looking for. Instead, think about what you would put on your “To feel” list: ‘I want to feel safe, I want to feel respected, I want to feel protected.’ Creating this list can help you find and understand what is most important to you beyond physical attributes. ● Date smarter, not harder. In a recent Bumble survey, 1 in 4 U.S. daters shared that they feel short on time and want to make dating as efficient as possible. If you’re finding it hard to prioritize dating with your busy schedule - you’re not alone! Bumble’s data also shows that Monday between 7:00-8:00 pm is the most popular day and time on Bumble in the US. Capitalize on Bumble’s peak Monday time by using features that help you find more relevant potential partners, faster, like Bumble’s Advanced Filters feature, which allows you to filter for various values and lifestyle choices. ● Choose quality over quantity. Dating doesn’t have to be a numbers game. In fact, more than half (52%) of women recently surveyed about dating in 2024 said they are focusing on quality of dates over quantity. For more information, download the Bumble app via the App Store or Google Play. About Shan Boodram Shan Boodram is a certified sex educator, dating coach and intimacy expert. Boodram is host of the top podcast, "Lovers and Friends," the best-selling author of “The Game of Desire,” resident expert on Netflix's “Too Hot to Handle,” and host of The Marriage Pact on the Roku Channel. She is an ambassador for AIDS Healthcare Foundation and WomensHealth.gov, and a member of the American Sexual Health Association. She holds a Master’s degree in Psychology from Arizona State University, and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. About Bumble Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, was founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd in 2014. Bumble connects people across dating (Bumble Date), friendship (Bumble For Friends) and professional networking (Bumble Bizz). Bumble is built on the importance of equitable relationships and how crucial they are to a healthy, happy life. The app is built with a focus on kindness, respect, and equality – and the community plays an important part in that. Bumble holds its users accountable for their actions and strives to provide them with an experience free from hate, aggression, or bullying. The app is free to download and is widely available in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and the web. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

SingularityNET Arrives In Switzerland Counseled By STORM Partners — Uniting Artificial Intelligence & Decentralization

STORM Partners

Geneva, Switzerland, February 9, 2024 – SingularityNET (SNET), a global innovator within the decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) space, has established its Foundation in Switzerland through Geneva to the Crypto Valley in Zug. This strategic move underscores the SNET commitment to the decentralized, democratic values seen within its AI initiatives, including within its governance structure. The Zug-based Foundation will support the development of new use cases for the ecosystem, expand its global community, and promote research and development projects. Commenting on the move, SingularityNET Founder and CEO Ben Goertzel remarks: “The Foundation is set to further enable the Web3 vision of creating a decentralized and democratic paradigm that meets the challenges of the modern world. The move to Zug underlines our commitment to do this with the utmost transparency and highest standards of compliance.” Working in conjunction with STORM Partners, a Swiss Web3-focused professional services firm, SingularityNET has relocated its foundation from Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, to Zug, in Switzerland. Choosing Switzerland as the market from which to drive global adoption of the technology, as well as its more philosophical and ethical underpinnings, is also a nod to Switzerland’s reputation: a neutral and benign confederation that has been practising democracy since as early as the thirteenth century. It’s no wonder it’s also a hub of decentralization, disintermediation, and trust. “This strategic move highlights once more Switzerland's attraction for innovation. Clear guidelines for the digital economy mean Web3 entrepreneurs can benefit from the stability they so desperately require when venturing into this ever-changing field,” adds Sheraz Ahmed, Managing Partner of STORM Partners. Switzerland’s crypto-friendly regulatory framework and secure business environment are key drivers behind SNET’s decision to establish its Foundation in Zug. This move allows SNET to leverage Switzerland’s thriving crypto community ecosystem, fostering an environment of innovation, collaboration, and growth for its beneficial and compassionate AI vision. Zug’s Crypto Valley is home to +1,600 blockchain-based projects, including industry leaders like Ethereum, Polkadot, Tezos, and many more. SNET’s unique take on AI and commitment to developing a decentralized platform for artificial general intelligence (AGI) will add a new richness to the Zug community. SingularityNET works with partners like Cisco, Cardano, and Hanson Robotics, famous for the human Sophia the Robot. SNET’s mission to redefine the future of AI by building an AGI transcends the limitations of centralization, and ensures openness for all, free from the narrow objectives of a single corporation or nation. Now this bold mission is matched with a state-of-the-art governance structure that provides for future growth in a decentralized environment. About SingularityNET: SingularityNET is a pioneering decentralized AI platform that combines the power of blockchain technology with artificial intelligence. It envisions creating an inclusive, democratic, and beneficial AGI free from centralization, corporate control, and national restrictions. SNET’s core mission is to democratize AI, ensuring this technology benefits all humanity. About STORM Partners STORM Partners is a premier all-in-one professional services provider within the dynamic blockchain industry. Its expertise spans the global landscape of Web3, collaborating with a diverse spectrum of businesses and brands – from nimble startups and pre-IDOs to flourishing scale-ups and established global organizations.
