Analyst Namtoshi Predicts $15 for Dogecoin, KangaMoon Nears $5M Amidst Shiba Inu Decline

Kangamoon

The Dogecoin (DOGE) community is abuzz with excitement as crypto analyst Namtoshi predicts a potential surge to $15 for the legacy meme coin by 2024, mirroring its explosive rise in 2021. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu (SHIB) grapples with a 1,344% increase in token burn rate, sparking investor speculation about future price movements. In another development, KangaMoon (KANG) is attracting investors’ interest having crossed the $4.5 million presale funding milestone, alongside plans to integrate both SocialFi and GameFi into its unified ecosystement. Dogecoin (DOGE) On the Rise Again? Namtoshi Predicts Potential Surge in 2024 Dogecoin (DOGE) is rocketing back in popularity with crypto analyst Namtoshi putting out bullish projections for 2024. As the price of Dogecoin climbed from $0.01 to $0.76 in 2021, Namtoshi’s analysis suggests that a similar pattern probably would bring an incredible boom. In his words, “ If this cycle acted the same, it would go from $0.20 to a whopping $15.20.” Meanwhile, Dogecoin's growing mainstream appeal and active community could be its driving force for unprecedented adoption levels, propelling DOGE price to new heights. Notwithstanding the volatility in the crypto market, the thrilling opportunity to make life-changing profits tend to draw investors' attention towards Dogecoin again. Shiba Inu (SHIB) Burn Rate Skyrockets, Investors Eye Price Movement Shiba Inu (SHIB) has just witnessed a jump in token burning activity with the burn rate rising to a spectacular 1,344%. This progression unfolds at a crucial time because the community is closely monitoring the price of SHIB which had been moving in unison with the overall market before stabilizing recently. Despite the coin not doing well over the past month and recording a 20% decline and a modest 2% surge over the past week, analysts remain highly optimistic. Their bullish sentiment is based on the notion that the resistance level of $0.000031 is likely to gain strength, propelling a rise in the price sparked by the strong buying pressure observed in the past. KangaMoon (KANG) Achieves Impressive $4.5 Million Presale Milestone Unlike Dogecoin and Shiba Inu which are currently navigating market volatility, KangaMoon (KANG) is attracting investors with its outstanding presale results. To elaborate, the value of KangaMoon has gone up by 290% from an initial offering price of $0.005 to $0.0196 in the stage five of the ongoing presale campaign. In addition, it has raised well above $4.5 million and expects to hit the $6 million funding milestone by the end of April. As a blockchain gaming network, KangaMoon plans to integrate both SocialFi, and GameFi’s P2E - play-to-earn element together leveraging a community-driven approach. In this unified ecosystem dubbed “Kangaverse”, Players can customize and own KangaMoon avatars, participate in battle contests, or speculative bettings. By engaging in any of these, they get rewarded with KANG tokens or other high-value in-game collectibles for their winnings which can be traded in the dedicated marketplace later. To further bolster trust and a community-driven platform, the active members of the community will be eligible to receive free KANG tokens before the project’s official launch. Particularly, users who sign up, and engage KangaMoon’s social media posts will be awarded free KANG coins. Meanwhile, the global Play-to-Earn NFT Games Market is projected to expand at a rapid CAGR of 21.3% between 2022 and 2028, from over $15 billion. This not only captures what value this market could bring to KangaMoon and its investors, it further solidifies the project’s position among the best new cryptocurrency in the market. As such, analysts speculate that the KANG token will become so huge that it may hit $0.5 immediately after the upcoming listing.

Stellar Resources targets leadership in tin production amid global supply crunch

Stellar Resources Ltd

Stellar Resources Ltd (ASX:SRZ) executive chairman and CEO Simon Taylor joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the company’s ambitions to become Australia's next tin producer, leveraging the Heemskirk Tin Project in Tasmania, renowned as the highest-grade undeveloped tin site in Australia and ranking third globally. The 2019 scoping study underscored the project's robust economics, with ongoing updates to enhance the mineral resources estimate. Heemskirk boasts a resource estimate of 7.48 million tonnes at 1.04% tin, while the Severn deposit, the project’s largest, shows promising expansion potential. Recent infill drilling at Severn yielded impressive results, including 36.6 metres at 1.07% tin. Additionally, the nearby St Dizier Satellite Project adds to Stellar’s tin portfolio with an indicated mineral resource estimate. Stellar is poised for growth, capitalising on a global tin supply shortage, with the metal's demand set to soar due to its essential role in electronics, renewable energy, and new technologies. The company anticipates that updated economic studies will reflect improved metrics and a higher proportion of resources in the indicated category, possibly lowering initial capital costs. With global tin production facing uncertainties, Stellar strategically placed to address the market’s deficit, especially given tin’s pivotal role in the technology and green sectors.

Olympio Metals hums like a Cadillac after its latest lithium results

OLYMPIO METALS LIMITED

Olympio Metals Ltd (ASX:OLY) managing director Sean Delaney sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss recent progress at the Cadillac Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada. The company has completed a 23-hole, 2,715-metre diamond drilling program across four pegmatite dykes, uncovering significant lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) geochemical fractionation trends that underscore the area's lithium prospects. Notable discoveries include spodumene with grades reaching 2.3% lithium oxide in the Dyke B area, expanding the project's known lithium potential. This drilling effort, combined with prior surface sampling, indicates that the LCT pegmatites cover a larger area than initially anticipated, setting the stage for expanded regional exploration. Olympio has secured $1.1 million through Canadian Flow-Through Shares and is well-prepared for the upcoming field season. This funding will support continued exploration across their 190-square-kilometre landholding, where numerous high-priority pegmatite targets await testing. The recent drilling has delineated two distinct zones of fractionated pegmatites, hinting at multiple generations of LCT mineralised intrusions. These findings will guide the company's exploration strategy, focusing on areas with elevated potassium-rubidium fractionation trends linked to lithium mineralisation. With over 400 known pegmatites in the Cadillac Project area, Olympio is poised to advance its exploration activities, leveraging the latest geological insights to target high-priority areas in the coming weeks.

Farm Forward Investigation Reveals America’s First “Certified Regenerative Dairy Farm” Alexandre Farm Abuses and Neglects Animals

Farm Forward

In an extensive investigation released today, Farm Forward revealed that Alexandre Family Farm —a famous, widely endorsed organic dairy farm in California that sells at Whole Foods and other major grocery chains—routinely abuses and neglects its animals, sells diseased animals for human consumption, and pollutes the environment. Despite clear evidence of abuse provided by whistleblowers, the farm was certified “organic” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and as “Humane” by the independent nonprofit Certified Humane® program. The full report can be read at www.farmforward.com. Among the findings: A cow dragged by a skid loader more than 50 yards across concrete and gravel; Dozens of cows being trampled to death; Use of a.22 rifle to kill about 80 heifers experiencing trouble with calving; A cow’s clogged teat cut off with a rusty knife with no pain management; and Animals’ body parts left decomposing on the land, possibly contaminating the local waterways. Portions of the report were included in a story released today by The Atlantic that corroborated many of Farm Forward’s findings. Alexandre Family Farm has garnered national attention after becoming one of the first certified regenerative dairy farms in 2021. Alexandre has been featured on the Today Show, Food Network’s Guy’s All-American Road Trip, and in Forbes and the New York Times. “At a time when millions of Americans are turning away from cows’ milk, companies like Alexandre and retailers like Whole Foods are lying to the public to try and reverse the trend and protect their profits,” said Farm Forward Executive Director Andrew deCoriolis. “Dairy companies humanewash their business just like the big oil companies try to greenwash theirs. It’s a marketing spin, it’s not real change.” “Unfortunately, this investigation reveals a larger problem: organic and humane labels on meat or dairy cannot be trusted,” deCoriolis said. “Even one of the country’s most prominent and celebrated organic farms is using the same abusive and polluting agricultural practices as factory farms. Federal regulators upheld Alexandre Family Farm's organic designation even after they were given evidence that the farm was abusing animals. How many more ‘organic’ farms are out there raking in profits based on a USDA-endorsed lie?” Alexandre Family Farm touts several “ key differentiators ” that the company claims make it a better choice for dairy products, including that the way they farm is better for the cows. However, Farm Forward’s investigation revealed systematic abuse and neglect driven from the top of the company. And while Alexandre continues to profit from selling diseased and injured animals, consumers are paying a premium at Whole Foods and other groceries in support of this fraudulent vision of healthy animals and a livable climate. The investigation’s findings not only highlight violations of basic humane treatment, but also many violations of the certifications that Alexandre uses to market their products. A failure of this magnitude on the part of certification schemes like the USDA and Certified Humane calls into question whether industrial dairy farming can ever be truly compatible with a high ethical standard of animal treatment and environmental sustainability. Farm Forward is calling on Alexandre Family Farm to change its practices and its abuse of animals immediately, and is asking retailers like Whole Foods and other companies to stop purchasing Alexandre dairy and pledge to reject similar efforts at humanewashing. Farm Forward is also calling on the USDA and Certified Humane to withdraw their certifications of Alexandre Dairy and pledge to reform their internal practices to prevent humanewashing companies from gaining legitimacy through their certifications in the future. “We hope that the Alexandres, responsible retailers like Whole Foods, certifying organizations, and government regulators can all come together to fix what is broken in our agricultural system,” deCoriolis said. “Right now, there are structural problems in the dairy industry that incentivize animal abuse. We need to change that.” Concerned consumers can support Farm Forward’s push for change by signing up to join its campaign. Farm Forward also asks conscientious consumers to consider rejecting dairy products altogether. “If systemic animal mistreatment is happening at the leading higher welfare dairy, what is happening at all of the rest?” asked deCoriolis. “The only way to avoid regularly participating in these abusive practices is to opt out of dairy products altogether. Consumers are increasingly selecting plant-based dairy and could do so even more often. Consumers can also join us in pushing the agricultural sector and the federal government to do better.” ### Farm Forward is a team of strategists, campaigners, and thought leaders guiding the movement to change the way our world eats and farms.

Game-Changing Tumor Freezing Technology Has The Potential To Offer Women First-Ever Minimally Invasive Alternative To Breast Lumpectomy Surgery

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICCM), which is set to submit results from the largest cryoablation study of its kind to the FDA, may set a new standard of care for early-stage breast cancer in women who elect not to have surgery. This could be a game-changer for the medical community and IceCure alike. When it comes to the early onset of breast cancer, the typical treatment protocol is for women to undergo a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy, hormone or radiation therapy. The lumpectomy involves removing the tumor and some healthy tissue around it surgically in a hospital operating room. It requires heavy sedation, is often painful and has a long recovery time. While tens of thousands of lumpectomies are performed annually in the U.S., it is not a perfect solution. In about 20% of cases, a second surgical procedure known as a re-excision is required to get rid of lingering cancer cells. Some tumors are difficult to spot or feel which makes them hard to locate during the surgery and thus follow-up surgeries are often required. Re-excision can not only be costly, it adds to the recovery time and weighs on the patient’s mental health. Some women, concerned about their future, opt at that point for a mastectomy. Freezing Tumors May Be The Answer With about 280,000 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year, and around 340,000 total cases, finding better alternatives is front and center for many healthcare providers, drug companies and biotechs including IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICCM). IceCure is expanding the use of ProSense®, an advanced liquid-nitrogen-based cryoablation therapy for the treatment of tumors (benign and cancerous) by freezing, with the primary focus areas being breast, kidney, bone and lung cancer. Cryoablation is a potentially attractive option for treating tumors because it is minimally invasive and has little pain associated with it. Tumors can be seen clearly by using imaging modalities like ultrasound or computerized tomography (CT), accurately destroying diseased tissue within the tumor zone. Cryoablation reduces surgery-related complications, downtime for the patient and economic burden to the insurer and the medical provider, as well as reducing the need for secondary lumpectomy in breast cancer. IceCure likens its ProSense procedure for breast tumors to that of going to the dentist, with no scarring or general anesthesia required. Rather, IceCure relies on lidocaine used locally so there is no need to go to a hospital or stay overnight to recover, all of which reduces costs and speeds up recovery. Unlike lumpectomies, cryoablation does not involve the excision of breast tissue, thereby eliminating many of the adverse cosmetic effects of tumor excision as well. Some researchers have even called cryoablation the “ultimate esthetic solution for breast cancer” because it reduces the need for pre-emptive or corrective surgical procedures to maintain or restore breast volume, contour and symmetry. For all of those reasons, breast cancer cryoablation has emerged as a possible alternative to lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer over the past decade. Promising Topline Results IceCure recently announced positive topline results from its ICE3 study, which it says is the largest controlled multicenter clinical trial ever performed in the U.S. for liquid nitrogen (LN2) based cryoablation of low-risk, early-stage malignant breast tumors, following the five-year follow-up evaluation of the ICE3 study's last patient. In the ICE3 study, 96.39% of patients (187 out of 194 patients) were local recurrence-free with no significant device-related adverse events or complications reported. Based on those topline results, the company said ProSense has the potential to be a safe and effective alternative to lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. The company says it is on track to submit the full data set and results to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing clearance any day now, and Prosense is already approved for breast cancer in other territories like Europe. The breast cancer market size is significant, and was valued at $31.89 billion in 2022 and is forecast to hit $70.53 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.43% over 2023-2030. The tumor ablation market is expected to reach $2.4 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 13.2% from now until then. "We are very pleased with this topline outcome and believe these results demonstrate a highly favorable safety and efficacy profile that positions ProSense® as a desirable alternative to lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer," said Eyal Shamir, Chief Executive Officer of IceCure. "While the FDA evaluates the data, we are optimistic its upcoming decision will give women in the U.S. the same access as those who are already benefiting from ProSense® in other countries,” he said. ProSense has regulatory approval in 15 countries for a broad range of indications including in Europe, Brazil, Canada and China. Incidents of breast cancer are increasing around the world, with many people facing invasive and time-consuming procedures. While lumpectomies will continue to be necessary sometimes, companies like IceCure may be giving patients an alternative way to fight this disease. With full data being submitted to the FDA any day now, if approved it could prove to be game-changing for IceCure and women across America diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.
