Crypto Experts Drum Support for Ripple (XRP) ETF: Pullix (PLX) Looks To Overtake Toncoin (TON) in the Bull Market

Pullix.io

After years of denials, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally approved the first spot Bitcoin ETF. With the approval, seen as a landmark moment by experts, other digital assets are expected to get spot ETFs soon. Experts have overwhelmingly supported Ripple (XRP), one of the top altcoins. Additionally, the news has put the altcoin market in a bullish state. One of the best cryptos to buy in the midst of the market upswing is Pullix (PLX). Watch how PLX does in comparison to Toncoin (TON). Experts Say Ripple (XRP) Will Get ETF Next The SEC granted accelerated licenses on January 10 for eleven Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Following the much-awaited clearance, a number of experts have urged Ripple (XRP) and predicted that it may be the next cryptocurrency to get a spot ETF. Panos Mekras, a popular crypto author and co-founder of Anodos Finance, has said it is only a matter of time before XRP gets an ETF. Zach Rector, a notable pro-XRP crypto YouTuber, also said that a Ripple ETF is inevitable. Amidst the community support, the Ripple coin has been on an uptrend. The price of Ripple coin has jumped by more than 10%. The XRP has increased above $0.6100 in the process. If XRP gets a spot ETF, then it could be one of the best cryptos to buy. Toncoin (TON) Remains Flat Despite 'Notcoin' Record Toncoin (TON) was one of the top altcoins in 2023, as it received support from Telegram. However, TON has been unable to replicate the same performance from last year. The price of Toncoin has ranged between $2 and $2.4 for most of 2024. Notcoin, one of the fastest Web 3 games, has launched on the Toncoin network. All this social interaction has supercharged Notcoin's viral growth. Notcoin has seen a surge in social interaction, which has seen Toncoin's activity increase. Despite this bullish news, the price of Toncoin has remained at $2.29. Pullix (PLX) To Become the Next Blue-Chip Crypto Project While Toncoin has struggled with gains, Pullix (PLX) has been a top performer, rallying by more than 100% to reach $0.08. Pullix has been bullish thanks to its hybrid trading platform. The DeFi project has created a single platform with the characteristics of both centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Users may now trade conventional and cryptocurrency assets in one location and take advantage of the whole market experience. DeFi swap is another tool that Pullix provides. The DeFi switch facilitates quicker, cheaper, and easier token trading. Its Automated Market Maker (AMM) mechanism guarantees quick and easy token exchanges. Access to numerous markets is the platform's greatest advantage. Traders can trade ETFs, commodities, and currency on the platform. It's also critical to keep in mind that Pullix's PLX token, which serves as the exchange's foundation, is the foundation of the platform. With links to several markets and a cutting-edge platform, Pullix is positioned to be the best cryptocurrency to invest in. Because of this, PLX is considered the best cryptocurrency to invest in in 2024; analysts predict a 50x price increase. Prior to that, the ERC20 coin can be purchased for a low price of $0.08. In Conclusion The altcoin may see a comeback in 2024 as the cryptocurrency market enters a bullish phase and the XRP ETF gains traction. Due to its cutting-edge platform and promising market, Pullix, one of the newest competitors, hopes to surpass Toncoin. You have a fantastic opportunity to get involved in what might become the next blue-chip cryptocurrency before the trend takes off. For this reason, one of the best cryptocurrency to invest in for the 2024 bull market is PLX. 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.

Investments & Wealth Institute Launches Global Financial Planning Certificate Course for Advisors to Understand and Address the Cross-Border Financial Planning Needs of Clients

Investments & Wealth Institute

The Investments & Wealth Institute (IWI)—the leading professional association, education provider and standards organization for the financial advice industry—has just launched Global Financial Planning Essentials, an online asynchronous education program focused on international and cross-border planning, where advisors and other financial advice professionals can earn 15 hours of continuing education credits (CE) upon completion. The course curriculum—developed through a strategic partnership with the Global Financial Planning Institute (GFPI)—outlines how ongoing uncertainty in various political, regulatory, and economic environments has resulted in many affluent clients and their families around the world to consider ‘diversification’ not only in terms of their investments, but also in where they live and conduct business so that they may protect their lifestyles and preserve wealth for future generations. “Advisors can become an invaluable resource to clients by counseling them on the nuances between countries with respect to tax and immigration planning, foreign exchange and real estate, portfolio construction, business ownership, and much more,” said Lauris Lambergs, CIMA®, GFP (USA), co-founder and CIO of Renaissance Wealth Advisors, and a member of IWI’s Board of Directors. “IWI is committed to helping advisors become savvier on these global financial planning issues, which in turn, can uncover both safeguards and opportunities for clients.” “GFPI is a strong strategic partner to help us develop a certificate program that dives into global complexities for HNW clients,” said Ross Riskin, PhD, DBA, CPA/PFS, CCFC, MS Tax, and chief learning officer of IWI. “This further positions Investments & Wealth Institute as the go-to resource for advisors seeking high-quality educational content that is timely, accessible, and modern in its delivery approach.” Global Financial Planning Essentials is an in-depth, 15-hour program broken down into three models, which are: Module 1 – Introduction to Cross-Border Planning Module 2 – Tax and Immigration Planning Module 3 – Investments, Retirement, and Other Planning Considerations After completing the program, certificate holders earn 15 credits of CE and should also be able to: Interpret the general approach to international planning, define inbound planning, outbound planning, and cross-border planning, and identify how each is distinct from domestic planning. Implement the international and cross-border fact-finding process, including the importance of time and location about prior and planned employment, business ownership, assets, and earned entitlements. Understand the legal, tax, and estate issues in residency, including residency-based vs. citizenship-based taxation and interactions of residency status, source of income, and taxation. Define a Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC), how they are taxed, and how to invest while avoiding PFIC status. Review US foreign tax reporting obligations, FBAR, FATCA, and the required forms. Understand foreign exchange, liability matching, taxation, and risk management. Understand issues related to Social Security for American expats. Understand the management of a multi-jurisdictional portfolio, how to invest a foreign portfolio to avoid PFIC classification, the compliance issues related to cross-border ownership of mutual funds and ETFs, and the role of the Key Investor Information Document for European based clients. Understand the cross-border nuances of life insurance and disability insurance, including issues related to paying premiums while a non-resident, making a claim, and the taxation of death benefits while abroad. Understand cross-border education planning opportunities and issues. “The content and learning objectives that comprise IWI’s certificate program actually leverage GFPI’s highly-regarded US Inbound/Outbound International Financial Planning Master Class,” said Ashley Murphy, GFP (USA) CFP®, founder of GFPI who led a team of contributors in condensing and repurposing the GFPI curriculum for the IWI certificate program. “We collaborated with IWI to adapt our 10-week program to the structure and format of their certificate programs, which are typically 15 hours in duration, and online and interactive in nature. The result is certainly a more streamlined learning experience, but it is one that still contains enough relevant, detailed knowledge for advisors to walk away with a proficiency on planning issues outside U.S. borders that can exist for clients.” Global Financial Planning Essentials is the latest course IWI has developed in partnership with other organizations and leading industry experts to improve its ability to accelerate the time to bring innovative programs to market. It is also the newest certificate course since the October 2023 launch of Investments & Wealth Academy —IWI’s new online learning experience platform and extensive content library filled with a wide array of certificate programs, short courses, microcourses, webinars, and other learning opportunities to earn CE credits. “IWI has delivered premier world-class education with practical application for more than three decades—continually innovating to provide access to educational content that reflects the ever-changing external forces impacting the financial advice business,” said Riskin. “The Investments & Wealth Academy provides a learning and service experience with improved functionality and navigation, as well as new courses in the pipeline built by top-tier academics, industry professionals, and instructional design specialists—and all powered by IWI.” For more information, contact Allison Edmondson, Communications, Investments & Wealth Institute, at aedmondson@i.w.org. ## About Investments & Wealth Institute Founded in 1985, the Investments & Wealth Institute is the premier professional association, education provider, and standards body for financial advisors.

GOD VERSUS UFOS - A NEW FILM ABOUT THE PARANORMAL SIDE OF UFOS

500NewsWire

London, UK, Jan. 16, 2024 - ( 500NewsWire ) -- Stars - Prof Avi Loeb (Harvard), Nick Pope (from hit TV show Ancient Aliens), Yvette Fielding (Most Haunted), Guy Thompson (presenter), Evelyn Hollow (BBC’s Uncanny), Ian Broadmore (Demonologist), John Hanson (Great British UFO Learning Centre), Rev Daniel Thompson & Philip Kinsella (author). This documentary explores the other worldly aspect of UFOs looking at whether there are links with the paranormal or whether science and the mysterious world of quantum physics can explain the phenomena? Watch here for free on Youtube: It also looks at the religious and spiritual side of UFOs with many in the British and US Governments sincerely believing that UFOS are demonic or satanic in origin. It also looks into Project Blue Beam which is a conspiracy theory alleging that the deep state or Illuminati are planning to use cutting edge holographic technology to create a false flag Alien Invasion or a fake flag second coming of Christ. The aim is put populations into fear and to usher in a One World Government. Nick Pope who worked for the UK’s Ufo desk at the Ministry Of Defence states: ”The idea that through a combination of maybe holographic projection technology, Hollywood special effects and government or deep state spin and manipulation, you could create a false narrative a false flag alien invasion or a false flag second coming. And what this would then do, it would rather like some people say, well, 9-11 led to the introduction of the Patriot Act and the big state, deep state coming in and maybe taking some rights and freedoms, then use it to manipulate populations and the new world order takes over.” The film also looks at whether UFOs could be some for of inter dimensional craft/beings that humanity has been interacting with since time began. This could account for fairies and earth spirits that ancient cultures saw or even the biblical Angles and Demons. Maybe science could explain this? Prof Avi Loeb from Harvard University states that alien life might be using other dimensions to visit us which would explain how they are able to travel such vast distances across the universe. “ One thing is clear that most stars form billions of years before the sun. So if another civilization like ours existed billions of years ago, they had much more time to develop their science and technology. And it is possible that they would be able to figure out if there are extra special dimensions and take advantage of them. Using quantum gravity engineers. And what that means is that, you know, if their technology is able to reach our doorstep, we would be at all because it would represent something we don't possess, we don't understand, just like a cave dweller coming to a city like London or New York, and seeing all the technological gadgets there. There would be a sense of religious awe and we won't fully understand what we are looking at, especially if one is dealing with the effects of quantum gravity that we have no clue about.” He adds that alien life in other dimensions would be far richer and more diverse: “And then one can imagine life in more than three spatial dimensions, it will be far more diverse and interesting in the sense that when you drive a highway in extra dimensions, the chance of a collisions is much smaller. And there are many more opportunities for degrees of freedom of exercising your free will if we have it. And altogether I would expect life to be much richer.” Evelyn Hollow a parapsychologist looks a Quantum physics and whether this can explain ghosts and UFOs: “How do particles blip in and out of existence? But we know that they do. So is it possible that you had enough of these particles together or something else that's governed by the same principles has the same components? Can it also blip in and out of existence?” The film also looks at those who have claimed to have manifested the appearance of UFOS simply by using their own minds. It’s called Close Encounters of the 5th Kind. John Hanson a retired CID detective and now owner of The Great British UFO Learning Centre states that he and a group of friends actually manifested Orb like UFOs whilst meditation in Rendelsham Forest which was actually the site of one of the most famous UK UFO landings back in 1980. We also speak with renowned Demonologist Ian Broadmore who worked alongside Rev Paul Ingolsby on Admiral Lord Hill Norton’s report into UFOs which stated that they were demonic in origin.

The Legacy of a Stolen Nation Deftly Braided By Three Stories

Greenleaf Book Group

Through the intertwined stories of Cheyenne warrior Little Wolf, General Custer, and single mother Nancy Swiftfox, author Angie Elita Newell skillfully recounts the catastrophic events of the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn and the subsequent struggles faced by those on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1972 during the height of the American Indian Movement. All I See Is Violence weaves love, loss, and hard truths into a story that needs to be told—a journey through violence to bear witness to all that was taken, to honor what all of our ancestors lived through, and to heal by acknowledging the shadows to find the light. Award-winning Indigenous writer Angie Elita Newell unveils her latest literary triumph, All I See Is Violence (Greenleaf Book Group, Jan. 16, 2024), a powerful narrative braiding together the lives of a woman warrior, a ruthless general, and a single mother whose stories converge in the haunting legacy of a stolen nation. Scheduled for release on January 16, this novel promises to be an impactful exploration of history, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a people. “ All I See Is Violence brilliantly depicts the harsh realities of life for Native Americans, past and present. Angie Elita Newell is an extraordinarily gifted writer who has authored what will prove to be a timeless classic of literature.” -Dr. Robert Mallett, author of Mussolini in Ethiopia, 1919–1935 "There is no confusion between the Nancy-George connection in the present and the Little Wolf-Custer connection in the past, and Newell does a beautiful job of weaving them all together. History tells us what happens at the end of this battle, but Angie Elita Newell makes it personal, especially after witnessing Little Wolf's evolution into a warrior worthy of the storyline's heart. Very highly recommended." -Readers' Favorite "This deftly woven debut by Newell offers a deeply personal look at the largely ignored lives, experiences, and histories of Indigenous Americans.

A Dystopian Rollercoaster That Will Bend Your Mind and Breach Your Soul

Greenleaf Book Group

A Dystopian Rollercoaster that will Bend Your Mind and Breach Your Soul Debut fiction novel introduces an enigmatic heroine on a treacherous quest to befriend her enemy to save a friend. On the distant planet Aurora Saura, where your body is not your own, the good people cower in basements to avoid the scavengers plaguing the skies. Not far away, on a plateau crisp with ice, an alien overlord toils relentlessly to keep his species whole. And in the sandstone streets of Merrocha, a young girl pedals her father’s tinctures and potions, unaware of the imminent cosmic intervention that’s about to unfold. Meet our heroine, Kyjta, who’s a deft hand at administering her father’s potions, even when she shouldn’t. Her face is marked by an alien brand that sparkles like tears picking up starlight, and she’s far too busy plotting revenge to notice one very important fact. In her debut novel, The Quelling (River Grove Books, Jan. 16, 2024), author C.L. Lauder builds an immersive fantasy world in which the unlucky are branded by an alien stain, marking them for quelling—an abhorrent act in which the occupying alien race lay claim to their bodies, suppressing the host’s consciousness. When Kyjta loses an unchaperoned child who’s fallen into her care, she faces the dilemma of whether to go after her, risking life and bodily autonomy, and unaware of the alien overlord’s heinous plans for her. "The Quelling by C.L. Lauder delivers a gripping tale of survival, revenge, and unexpected alliances in a dystopian world where the consequences of one's actions are etched on their skin...Lauder's storytelling, coupled with a well-crafted world and compelling characters, creates a novel that resonates with readers long after the final page. Fans of dystopian tales will find themselves immersed in a riveting adventure that challenges the boundaries of loyalty, survival, and the enduring power of hope in the bleakest of landscapes." - Readers' Favorite “Unsettling and evocatively written, The Quelling by C.L. Lauder is an affecting work of dystopian fantasy, and an enticing first installment of a new trilogy. The planet of Aurora Saura is overrun by two parasitic invaders: the monstrous Tarrohar and the insidious, body-possessing Rhemans, whose victims are known as "The Quelled." 19-year-old Kyjta must form an alliance with the enemy - the rebel Rheman Kranik - to rescue her friend Calipsie and confront the Rheman leader head-on. With chapters alternating between the perspectives of its two compelling protagonists, The Quelling is an intricate and skillfully realized piece of imagination, unveiling a world that is unlike others in the YA genre, aided by Lauder's precise world-building, consistently eerie atmosphere, and empathetic characters.” – SPR "C. L. Lauder’s imaginative science fiction novel The Quelling centers on heroism, perseverance, and redefinitions of good and evil...Working toward a satisfying conclusion that generates interest in the next installment, the exciting science fiction novel The Quelling introduces differing beings on another planet who forego prejudice to ensure their mutual survival." - Foreword Clarion “An addictive page-turner with a compelling heroine on a thrilling journey of rebellion.” - W. Bradford Swift, eco-fantasy author of Rainforest Shawman “A definite must-read for fans ready to immerse themselves in an adventure of ingeniously detailed world-building, vivid imagery, and quests that take you across the realm.” - Hannah Pennington, author of The Tindoria Chronicles Pick up your copy of The Quelling today and visit www.cllauder.com to keep up with C.L.
