Will Bulls or Bears Take Charge? $GFOX Set to 10X As $BONK Suffers Losses

RoundHouse Media

The crypto market is currently witnessing a tug-of-war between bulls and bears, with Bitcoin's price movements suggesting a possible bearish reversal. Despite a bullish sentiment that spread among all the best altcoins, there's a looming possibility of a downturn. Bitcoin's price already shows signs of slowing down after surpassing $38,000. In the middle of this, two tokens— Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) and Bonk ($BONK)—have shown contrast paths that provide an insightful analysis of investor mood and market trends. The Rise of Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) In these uncertain times, when even some of the best altcoins start to struggle, Galaxy Fox shines brightly as a symbol of possibility and resilience. $GFOX is a unique hybrid DeFi architecture that smoothly blends play-to-earn platforms, staking, NFTs, and meme currencies. The platform's focus on gaming is especially fascinating. It provides a cutting-edge Web 3.0 game that is both engaging and provides genuine income potential. With 50% of the prize money split among the top 20% on the leaderboard, players may win substantial prizes. This gamification gives the platform an interesting dimension that elevates it beyond the status of a simple financial instrument. The ecosystem of $GFOX includes a booming NFT marketplace in addition to gaming. These NFTs are more than just collectibles; they improve users' game experiences by providing more competitiveness and agility. The careful planning and long-term sustainability of $GFOX's approach is seen in its tokenomics. Each transaction has a portion designated for the treasury, staking pools, and liquidity pools to preserve market stability and liquidity. Also, the deflationary approach encourages long-term holding instead of short-term trading, which aligns with the goals of dedicated community members. The early success of this new ICO crypto has been largely attributed to its presale approach. There are 10 phases to the presale, and the token price rises with each one. Potential investors feel pressured by this best ICO design, which also encourages early investment. More than $450,000 has already been raised after the first presale stage. The second stage has just opened, so make sure you join in and benefit from 9 more price boosts throughout the presale. $BONK is on a Rocky Road Bonk is in sharp contrast to $GFOX. Even though $BONK has increased by almost 4,500% so far this year, recent difficulties have clouded the company's trajectory. $BONK’s placement on Binance's perpetual futures market may represent a token value shift. After the news, $BONK already experienced a 14% price drop, a development that has raised investor concerns. Historically, when Binance lists smaller cryptocurrencies, their values often peak and then decline. This was the case with $PEPE, whose value plummeted post-listing. Perpetual futures enable traders to short-sell, betting against the token's price, which can lead to increased volatility. This is particularly relevant for cryptocurrencies like $BONK, which may not withstand such speculative pressures. Recent signs suggest that $BONK's price is now losing momentum, potentially ending its recent upward trend. Conclusion The market reaction to $BONK's listing on Binance's perpetual futures emphasizes the importance of real value and strong market support for volatile cryptocurrencies. This scenario highlights the increasing interest from investors in tokens like $GFOX, which distinguishes itself with its play-to-earn components, integrated DeFi architecture, and NFT integration. With these characteristics, $GFOX is well-positioned to weather market fluctuations and become an attractive competitor among the best altcoins.

What was once a thriving and fun-filled space has lately devolved into a wasteland of coins that lack real utility or serious development – or even something just to make you laugh, like OG memcoins of the past Doge and Shiba Inu once inspired.

Mirriad Advertising has "huge momentum" after contract signing

Mirriad Advertising PLC

Mirriad Advertising PLC (AIM:MIRI, OTCQX:MMDDF) CEO Stephan Beringer speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the virtual product placement and in-content advertising pioneers announced the signing of an agreement with a top three entertainment network in the US. Beringer starts by explaining the unique nature of the business, discussing how traditional advertising, characterised by interruptive ads during video content, is losing its effectiveness. He highlights the rise of streaming services, where ads are minimal or non-existent, posing challenges for content creators and advertisers in monetising and reaching mass audiences. Mirriad's innovative solution involves virtual product placement, seamlessly integrating brands into the content itself, enhancing viewer experience without interruptions. Beringer also emphasises the customisable nature of their advertising technique. This approach allows different viewers to see different products within the same content, based on their location or profile, a significant leap from traditional product placement. This strategy aligns more with media buying, offering advertisers immediate, audience-specific impressions. Discussing the company's strategic pivot to the U.S., Beringer explained its importance, given the massive advertising market size and the potential for scaling advertising innovations from the U.S. He notes Mirriad's progress in the U.S., saying that he sees the company as carrying "huge momentum" at the moment.

Pizzeria Uno Celebrates its 80th Anniversary as the Birthplace of Chicago’s beloved Deep Dish Pizza

UNO Pizzeria & Grill

This December, Pizzeria Uno (known informally as Uno’s) will celebrate its 80 th anniversary which also commemorates the 80 th birthday of the introduction of Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Pizzeria Uno and its iconic location at the corner of Ohio and Wabash in downtown Chicago are universally regarded as the birthplace of Deep Dish pizza which has become a staple of the Chicago and American food landscape. To mark the occasion, Pizzeria Uno will host an 80 th Anniversary party at its downtown Chicago location on December 4 th at 6PM. The invite-only party will include entertainment, giveaways, pizza-making demonstrations and, of course, plenty of deep dish pizza for sampling. Included on the guest list is former Chicago Bear player and current sports radio host Tom Waddle. “I have been a long-time fan of Pizzeria Uno. It started back in my days at Boston College in Boston where I used to frequent the locations there with my then girlfriend who is now my wife. It’s such an iconic brand and the deep dish pizza has always been amazing. To think that it all started in this small brownstone building here in Chicago 80 years ago is amazing”. The deep dish story is an integral part of the rich Chicago food scene. In 1943, former University of Texas football star Ike Sewell and his friend WWII G.I. Ric Ricardo opened the flagship Pizzeria Uno Restaurant at its current location in the River North neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. As legend has it, the deep-dish pizza was born when the two experimented in the kitchen creating a “pizza pie” or the thick upside-down pizza that became known as the Chicago deep dish pizza. It wasn’t long before people were lining up at the door, so Sewell opened a second restaurant in response to Pizzeria Uno’s popularity, Pizzeria Due, which is one block away. In 1963, Ike then opened the historically relevant Su Casa, a Mexican restaurant, as a passion project. The legend of Pizzeria Uno was introduced to the rest of the US and the world starting in 1978 when entrepreneur Aaron Spencer, a Massachusetts resident and prominent businessman, purchased the franchise rights to the restaurant and brand. Spencer opened the first franchise location in Boston with an expanded menu to attract an even broader crowd. The restaurant added locations to as many as 20 states and multiple countries. Pizzeria Uno deep dish pizza is currently enjoyed in over 80 locations worldwide. Pizzeria Uno General Manager, Robert Komar, is proud of the mark that Pizzeria Uno has left on the food scene in Chicago. “To come to work each day knowing that this building here on the corner of Ohio and Wabash is the birthplace of deep dish pizza is an incredible feeling. Deep dish pizza, which is woven into the fabric of the Chicago and American food culture, is such an iconic part of this city. People come from all over the world to experience it here in this beautiful building. We are so proud to be part of the legacy here and will continue to serve up deep dish for another 80 years.” About UNO Pizzeria & Grill Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation includes approximately 80 company-owned and franchised UNO Pizzeria & Grill restaurants located in 18 states, and the District of Columbia, India, and Saudi Arabia. UNO is all about connecting people over pizza – from its famous Chicago Deep Dish, which UNO invented in 1943, to its Chicago Thin Crust, to its gluten-free and vegan pizzas.

ATA to Hold Virtual Roundtable in Response to Film Translators

American Translators Association

A free virtual event held during Universal Human Rights Month will address the challenges depicted in the film Translators and provide insights into the repercussions of asking children to work as interpreters for people with limited English proficiency (LEP) and the trauma it can cause. The American Translators Association (ATA), the premier association of translators, interpreters, and language professionals in the world, will hold a free online roundtable to discuss concerns over the depiction of children as interpreters in the film Translators, directed by Rudy Valdez and presented by U.S. Bank. A diverse panel of language services industry experts, including researchers, language access advocates, and former child interpreters, will provide insights into the issue, explaining how the film missed a unique opportunity to address the trauma child interpreters can experience and how people who need professional interpreters can avail themselves of their federally protected rights to access them. The panel will discuss a review of the film and the issues it presents, analyze the challenges of offering “meaningful” language access for LEP individuals, and suggest solutions to avoid placing the language brokering burden on children. The free virtual event will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. EST in English, with Spanish and ASL (American Sign Language) interpreting and live professional captioning. Register here to receive a Zoom link to attend. A recording of the event will be made available afterwards on ATA’s website. ATA encourages advocates, journalists, and leaders to participate and help spread the word about this important issue. If you have any questions about this event, please contact us by emailing ATA’s Advocacy Committee at advocacy@atanet.org. About the American Translators Association The American Translators Association (ATA) is the largest professional association of interpreters and translators in the United States, with thousands of members in over 100 countries who work in over 90 languages. Members include translators, interpreters, teachers, project managers, web and software developers, language company owners, hospitals, universities, and government agencies. ATA’s mission is to promote the recognition of professional translators and interpreters, to facilitate communication among its members, to establish standards of competence and ethics, to provide its members with professional development opportunities, and to advocate on behalf of the profession.
