It's considered a foregone conclusion here that the bull market is going to end within a couple of months and there'll be a crash. I agree that this is probably what's going to happen, but I'm not even considering trying to time it, despite the potential for big gains. Here's why. Mistiming the Top is…

I'm obviously no crypto expert, but Ethereum has escrow type features, right? So, in the future, could Ethereum be used as a free "middle-man" or "escrow" in things like sports bets? The worst thing about betting to me is having to pay the house a percentage, which makes your odds of going green worse. Example,…

Zam.io has recently announced the listing of its native utility token, $ZAM, on four platforms at once. Zam.io’s blockchain ecosystem is composed of several seamlessly integrated products, including: ZamWallet, a universal crypto wallet for DeFi and CeFi, Intelligent Investment Portfolios, ready-made solutions for investors, and zMorgan, a distinctive protocol capable of transferring stock capital into cryptocurrencies. By the end of the first day of listing on the exchange platforms, Gate.io, PancakeSwap and Uniswap the token’s value had already grown  23 times. The company confirms that this success can be attributed to the products’ uniqueness and the increasing demand for them in the digital and traditional financial markets. In fact, the ecosystem’s solutions respond to existing market needs, serving as a bridge between the DeFi and CeFi sectors. In the next sections below, we will be discussing how Zam.io is shaping a new financial reality. Why Zam.io has become popular among crypto users Just a few months ago, Zam.io had announced for the first time the launch of zMorgan, a unique protocol capable of unlocking the value of equity capital, specifically stocks, by transferring it into cryptocurrencies. This solution quickly became a crowd favorite, capturing the interest of both traditional venture capitalists and crypto investors. Thousands of users began to look over and support the project. “On the first day after launching our airdrop on CoinMarketCap, we received over 10,000 user applications. Today, this figure exceeds 1 million. Over 2.5 million users have added the $ZAM token to their watchlists. Everyday, we receive hundreds of emails from users who want to become our partners, ambassadors, or just token holders, because people believe in our solutions and in their future,” the founder of Zam.io George Gus describes. Indeed, Zam.io offers several tools that unite the worlds of traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market. For example, the zMorgan protocol allows users to transfer company shares to cryptocurrencies. “For instance, let’s assume you own Tesla shares and want to convert them into cryptocurrencies. To achieve this, you can use the zMorgan protocol, which allows you to issue a certain number of stablecoins USDZ and AEDZ, pegged to the US dollar and Emirati dirham respectively. These stablecoins will be backed by the value of your shares. At any time, you can reverse the operation and retrieve the shares’ value by paying the commission for using the protocol,” explains Georgy Gus. More recently, Zam.io has launched a new tool for crypto investors: Intelligent Investment Portfolios. An Intelligent Investment Portfolio is a ready-made investment portfolio of cryptocurrencies, carefully compiled by the analysts and traders of Zam.io. “Each portfolio includes more than 10 cryptocurrencies, handpicked to achieve an ideal balance between low-risk cryptocurrencies and high-risk cryptocurrencies that can bring quick profits, in addition to stablecoins, which are suitable for stabilizing profits. At any time, the user can choose to individually modify the composition of the portfolio, or if the market situation changes, Zam.io experts will do so,” commented Georgy Gus. In the near future, the company also intends to ramp up efforts in upgrading and further developing the universal wallet that integrates CeFi and DeFi, introducing staking among other features. The entire world of finance in a single application Over the next three years, Zam.io plans on continuously developing its infrastructure and launching new financial management services. “In 2022, we already have many plans in store. These include launching a functionality that allows migrants to receive crypto loans, organizing a DAO, allowing our community members to vote and thereby to influence company decisions, and testing the main USDZ stablecoin network. We are merely at the start of our journey,” says George Gus. In the meantime, the team is monitoring the listing results on Gate.io, PancakeSwap, and Uniswap and promises its community other upcoming interesting listings on CEX.

The cryptocurrency investment giant has also seen “massive” options volume as gold takes a fresh beating and institutions seek Bitcoin exposure.

In early 2021, the NFT market was exploded by the emergence of pixel cryptopunks by LarvaLabs. Pixel images of heroes were sold almost instantly, and the cost of some tokens reached $8 million. Today, cryptopunks is one of the most popular NFT collection on the market. But it is unknown how long these tokens will hold the leadership. They are being replaced by more practical and technologically advanced NFTs that are able to generate income for their owners in the GameFi sector. We have collected the top NFT tokens that can throw cryptopunks off the pedestal. Bored Ape Yacht Club Bored Monkey NFT tokens have the second largest trading volume on the market with weekly sales exceeding $33 million. Created on the Ethereum blockchain, NFT tokens give the right to stay in the virtual club of bored monkeys. In the near future, the company promises to present an updated roadmap to outline a development strategy for the future. In the meantime, the value of the cards remains controversial, and the only available income may be resale. Over 67 thousand tokens have been sold since the beginning of the year. CryptoBots CryptoBots are unique NFT tokens with an interesting history. The first images of bots appeared in 2017. The smart contract, created by the developers of Playneta, became the first smart contract of the Play2Earn game. At the same time, more than 9,000 cryptobots were sold, issued on the Ethereum blockchain. Later, the developers switched their focus to other projects, and cryptobots became an autonomous project that developed solely through the support of the community. Today, more than 1,900 people from all over the world own tokens, and the price at NFT starts from 0.11 ETH. Recently, the developer announced the resumption of cryptobots and the release of a new NFT collection. However, now the emphasis will be on the use of tokens in the GameFi segment and the introduction of cryptobots in Play2Earn games. This fact will allow users to generate income from the use of NFTs. In order not to miss important news about the development of the project, subscribe to the channel in Discord. CyberKongz Another collection of pixel monkeys has already gained popularity among users. The weekly trading volume of these NFT tokens exceeds more than $10 million. According to the developers’ idea, pixel monkeys will live on a separate island in the SAND metaverse, and users will be able to upgrade their heroes by purchasing additional equipment and accessories. In addition, token holders will be able to exchange artifacts among each other and sell them in the store at SAND. In fact, the developers are creating a simple and fun game where users can earn cryptocurrency. Meebits Meebits is another creation of LavraLabs. They did not look for new ways to implement the NFT design but simply decided to copy the successful collection, replacing the cryptopunks with 2D heroes from the Minecraft game. Each token is unique and generated by a computer algorithm. It is still not clear how the tokens will be used in the future and what value and practicality they bring to their holders. So far, the developers have not commented on these issues. Summary The NFT sector is evolving and creating new rules of the game. Earlier exclusive tokens and works of art were in high demand, but today NFT tokens with real applicability and the ability to generate profit are coming to the fore. These qualities are mostly inherent in NFT tokens in the GameFi sector. Therefore, today it is worth paying attention to the tokens that operate in the Play2Earn sector.

What does Jack Dorsey think about Twitter’s crypto team? That’s the question. Without fanfare or even an official statement, the new Twitter Crypto division just came into existence. They’ll cover cryptocurrencies and blockchain-related matters. New hire Tess Rinearson took to – where else? – Twitter to broadcast her new position and the direction that her leadership will take the company. “We’ll be working to figure out what crypto can do for Twitter, as well as what Twitter can do for crypto,” Rinearson said. Related Reading | Why Is Bitcoin-Twitter Suddenly Obsessed With The Essay “Anatomy Of The State”? About Tess herself, through her website she gets us up to speed: “Most recently, I worked at the Interchain Foundation, where as VP of Engineering I led teams building open-source infrastructure for many leading blockchain networks, including Cosmos. Among other things, these teams were responsible for Tendermint Core, a popular proof-of-stake consensus engine, and the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol, a leading interoperability standard.” Twitter price chart on FTX | Source: TradingView.com What Do We Know About The Twitter Crypto Division? Not much, because Twitter Crypto’s creation didn’t make the company’s blog. The team will work directly under Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s CTO. And they’re currently “hiring for roles in engineering and product.” According to Rinearson, Twitter Crypto will focus “on crypto, blockchains, and other decentralized technologies—including and going beyond cryptocurrencies.” As I build out the team, we’ll be working to figure out what crypto can do for Twitter, as well as what Twitter can do for crypto. Twitter truly “gets” crypto (hello bitcoin tipping & NFTs!) but there’s so much more to explore here. — Tess Rinearson (@_tessr) November 10, 2021 In her thread, Rinearson identifies three main areas of work for Twitter Crypto:  “First, we’ll be exploring how we can support the growing interest among creators to use decentralized apps to manage virtual goods and currencies, and to support their work and communities.” “Looking farther ahead, we’ll be exploring how ideas from crypto communities can help us push the boundaries of what’s possible with identity, community, ownership and more.” “And, of course, we’ll be working closely with the Bluesky team to help shape the future of decentralized social media.” And, of course, we’ll be working closely with the @bluesky team to help shape the future of decentralized social media (and to make sure that Twitter stays on the cutting edge of this new landscape, too!). — Tess Rinearson (@_tessr) November 10, 2021 So, essentially, Twitter Crypto will focus on integration with Web3, the Altcoin world, DeFi, smart contracts, and NFTs. Which, of course, brought every project under the sun and their marketing teams to pitch under Tess Rinearson every tweet. This brings us to the original question. What Would Jack Dorsey Think About The Twitter Crypto Division? It’s no secret that Dorsey is a Bitcoin maximalist of the highest order. According to him, Bitcoin is the greatest invention of our lifetime. In the Bitcoin 2021 conference, Dorsey said  “All of the other coins, for me, don’t factor in at all.” However, even though Twitter enabled tips over the Lightning Network, the company’s actions don’t exactly match Jack Dorsey’s words.  On the one hand, Dorsey’s talking about building a better world through Bitcoin and denouncing the rising inflation. On the other, Twitter is censoring people, adding bogus disclaimers, and deplatforming everyone who deviates from the official narrative. It seems like the CEO is not in full control of the company he created. And that makes sense if you consider all the money the social media platform produces. And all the interests that work behind the scenes for that machine to keep on moving. Related Reading | Is Hyperinflation Inevitable? Jack Dorsey Says It’ll “Change Everything” The new Twitter Crypto division is another proof of that fact. While it’s true that Jack Dorsey as a person wouldn’t consider other blockchains, the company he represents is clearly moving in that direction. However, it’s also true that the new team’s creation didn’t make Twitter’s official announcement channels. So, what’s really going on here? Is Twitter really testing the waters of Altcoin land?  Let’s follow Tess Rinearson and find out. Featured Image: Twitter Crypto screenshot from this Tweet | Charts by TradingView
