Galaxy Fox's Stage 3 is Almost Sold-Out. Here's Why It’s So Hot

RoundHouse Media

Watching for boisterous early movers proved a reliable strategy for turning modest sums into huge crypto stacks in 2017 and 2021. Luckily for investors, 2024 will offer a repeat of the pattern, and finding these small-cap gems before they launch is a one-way ticket to netting 1000X returns in this cycle. Galaxy Fox ’s ( $GFOX ) stage 3 is about to sell out. Could it be one of these early movers and a top crypto to buy in 2023? Here’s what we know. Galaxy Fox ($GFOX): A New Generation of P2E Galaxy Fox is leading the next generation of play-to-earn tokens, and this unique hybrid has risen rapidly, establishing itself as a top crypto to invest in before the 2024 GameFi-driven bull market. One of the only tokens uniquely positioned to enjoy two narratives. Galaxy Fox’s viral aesthetic, micro-cap, and deflationary tokenomics put it in the memecoin race, and its runner game puts it on the GameFi stage. The team has purposely enhanced the protocol's viral nature, allowing the possibility of it mooning overnight. A highly novel introduction from Galaxy Fox is a protocol-level marketing budget. Marketing is the key component of success in a bull. Galaxy Fox routing 2% of buy and sell taxes to the protocol Treasury- responsible for funding community initiatives and marketing efforts- outlines a constant revenue stream for ecosystem expansion. Additionally, revenue generated by real-world merchandise feeds the Treasury. As marketing attracts more users, the Treasury will accrue greater revenue, and further efforts will draw in new users. This is how Galaxy Fox activates a powerful flywheel for acquiring users. This business sense naturally makes $GFOX one of the best cryptocurrencies to buy for people who understand marketing dynamics and the importance of new users. All users in the Galaxy Fox ecosystem can compete in its Web3 runner game. Those skilled enough to end the season in the top 20% will earn prizes exchangeable for $GFOX tokens- a top crypto to buy in 2023 for any users confident in their gaming abilities. But Galaxy Fox offers more earning opportunities and moves away from the classic play-to-earn model, which only rewards a small percentage of skilled players. Instead, everybody staking $GFOX earns. Investors earn residual income via Stargate – the protocol’s staking module. Stargate accrues 2% of all ecosystem transactions and distributes these among stakers. Using taxes as opposed to emissions means these rewards have no theoretical cap and will grow in tandem as the ecosystem expands. $GFOX Full Scale Rush Into Stage 3 Galaxy Fox has blitzed past $750,000 and already entered stage 3. Those lucky enough to buy during stage 1 have already enjoyed two price increases. Given its current pace, investors who want to lock in the remaining seven price increases will have to move fast. The window of opportunity steadily closes- the days when investors can buy discounted $GFOX are numbered. Closing Thoughts: Move Fast and Securing Upside Crypto has always rewarded investors who move fast, take risks, and try new things. Galaxy Fox’s genre-bending approach to product development- releasing a memecoin/ P2E hybrid- makes it one of this year’s most exciting propositions. And its sub $1 million market cap looks primed to fly in the current market environment. Participate in the presale today and enjoy all the incoming staggered price increases. There is no telling how high $GFOX can soar, and entering price discovery in current market conditions could see prolonged vertical growth. Discover why analysts call $GFOX a top crypto to buy in 2023 and get an allocation before the GameFi bull market begins. Learn more about $GFOX here: Visit Galaxy Fox Presale | Join the Community Memecoin market is saturated with silly dog coin knock-offs and dodgy Pepe joke coins. What was once a thriving and fun-filled space has lately devolved into a wasteland of coins that lack real utility or serious development â or even something just to make you laugh, like OG memcoins of the past Doge and Shiba Inu once inspired.

Bloomsbury Publishing successfully surfing the BookTok and fantasy waves

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC (LSE:BMY) Group Finance Director Penny Scott-Bayfield speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the independent publishing house released a trading update for 2023. Scott-Bayfield says that Bloomsbury expects its revenue and profit to significantly exceeded market expectations for the year to 29 February 2029, with revenues likely to surpass £274 million and profits £33 million. She explains some of the reasons for the company's strong performance, particularly in the fantasy sector, attributing some of the success to the books of Sarah J. Maas. Her 15 titles have become an important part of the Bloomsbury portfolio. Scott-Bayfield also highlights the impact of social media on the publishing industry, citing 'BookTok' on TikTok as a major positive influence, comparable to the Harry Potter phenomenon. This social media presence has attracted a younger audience and rejuvenated certain market segments. Additionally, she discusses the company's strategic shift away from a heavy reliance on Christmas sales. This diversification, including successful titles like those by Sarah J. Maas that are often bought for personal use rather than as gifts, reflects the strength and balance of Bloomsbury's portfolio.
