Tech Megatrend update: CEO Anthony Ginsberg reveals surprising growth and global convergence

HANetf

Anthony Ginsberg, CEO of GinsGlobal Index Funds, provided an update on the Tech Megatrend ETF in an interview with Steve Darling from Proactive. With the Federal Reserve pausing and expectations of lower rates, the Tech Megatrend ETF has seen a remarkable 11% increase in November, reaching close to a 30% gain year-to-date. Ginsberg highlighted the global convergence of tech megatrends, encompassing cybersecurity, cloud robotics, AI, and blockchain. Notably, AI's projected $2 trillion in new revenues over the next few years is boosting sectors like cloud, gaming, and social media. The equal-weighted approach of the MegaTrend ETF, covering eight sub-themes with biannual rebalancing, has proven successful in avoiding over-reliance on specific winners. The interview also touched on the impact of major players like Microsoft driving AI development and the broader influence of AI across various industries, from outsourcing to data centers. Additionally, Ginsberg discussed the significance of chips in electric vehicles, considering them as "computers on wheels." The semiconductor industry stands to benefit from onshoring and government spending on EV infrastructure. Overall, the Tech MegaTrend continues to show promise, fueled by global convergence and significant advancements in AI and related technologies.

Missed The Boat on Bitcoin and Dogecoin? Time to Bet on a New Crypto Projects

RoundHouse Media

Thinking back to the early days of Dogecoin and Bitcoin, it's common to wish you had invested sooner. This feeling, known as FOMO, kicks in, especially when new cryptocurrencies appear. If you are one of these and searching for the best altcoins to buy now, you might want to learn about Galaxy Fox ($GFOX). a new meme coin promising 1000x growth and massive ROI for the earliest backers. So, what is $GFOX? Galaxy Fox Overview It's not easy to succeed in the crypto market as a meme coin. Many people look at you like a joke, fun, hype-based crypto that will cease once the trend ends. So, Galaxy Fox has started to take its job more seriously, building a vast, utility-rich ecosystem without sacrificing its fun part. Overall, $GFOX is a play-to-earn meme coin that comes with staking, NFTs, deflationary tokenomics, dynamic presale, and many more, proudly positioning itself among the best altcoins to buy now. Within its ecosystem, Galaxy Fox presents an exciting web3 runner game that provides players with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to play and earn. Successful players will be rewarded with $GFOX tokens in this game. To improve their game experience and boost their chances of success, players have the opportunity to acquire Galaxy Fox NFTs. Each NFT comes with its own set of characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay. Also, players can use $GFOX tokens to buy attribute boosters. Players may obtain a temporary advantage in combat by using these boosters, which raise their strength, speed, agility, and power. The Galaxy Fox game runs in seasons, each with weekly and monthly segments. At season's end, the top 20% of players earn in-game currency, which can be converted into $GFOX tokens for real-world rewards. To further incentivize players, 50% of the revenue generated from in-game item sales is allocated to the prize fund. This fund is distributed among the top 20% of players, making the gaming experience not only enjoyable but also potentially profitable. Yet, Galaxy Fox’s vast ecosystem does not end there, as investors can also stake this new ERC20 coin for an extra source of passive income. Every transaction with Galaxy Fox contributes a part to the Galaxy Fox Stargate, which then rewards $GFOX stakers proportionally to the amount and duration of their staked tokens. When it comes to the $GFOX presale, it is set up to benefit early investors. It has ten stages, and the token's price increases each one. The project's presale already surpassed the $150K price mark, and considering all the hype and attention, presale stage one will likely sell out fast. This strategy has already drawn significant interest, shown by the presale raising over $150K. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS NOW<< Should you still buy Bitcoin and Dogecoin? Bitcoin, the leading crypto, breached $37,000 after a long struggle. This rise is primarily due to investors' hopes for SEC Bitcoin Spot ETF approval. Similar to many altcoins, $DOGE has benefited from the current bullish trend in the market. However, its performance doesn't really match up to Bitcoin's. This is because of Dogecoin's inflationary tokenomics, which makes it practically impossible to make the token scarce and increase its value. But let’s not forget that $DOGE was never meant to be a high-growth investment but a fun digital currency, and it continues to serve that purpose pretty well. In the current market upswing, Bitcoin's high price might discourage some investors, while Dogecoin's limited ROI potential, despite its affordability, may not meet everyone's expectations. For those seeking accessible entry points and growth opportunities, exploring the best ICO presales with strong fundamentals, such as $GFOX, could be a better choice. Bottom Line The current market now has a participant that proudly guarantees massive rates of returns, a fun and rewarding ecosystem, and long-term growth potential. Thus, if you are searching for the best altcoins to buy now, $GFOX can easily be your top choice. With an estimated 450% growth projection during the presale and a unique, utility-driven approach, Galaxy Fox is well-positioned to attract the interest of the crypto community and yield substantial returns for its early supporters. So make sure to get in on the action early! 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 – or even something just to make you laugh, like OG memcoins of the past Doge and Shiba Inu once inspired.

Following Solana's Impressive Rise, What's the Next Promising Cryptocurrency to Keep an Eye On?

Blockchain Digest

Exploring investment potentials beyond top altcoins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, many investors are choosing top DeFi projects like Solana (SOL) and RebelSatoshi ($RBLZ). Recently, Solana saw a huge selloff from FTX. Meanwhile, $RBLZ is gaining attention with its ongoing token presale. What are the blockchain ICO experts’ projections for these top crypto coins? Let’s delve in and find out. Solana Price Prediction: SOL Surges Despite FTX Sell-offs Amid FTX 's bankruptcy woes, the crypto exchange has been actively divesting its crypto assets. According to Lookonchain data, more than 50% of the transfers from FTX involve SOL. This becomes more evident as, on November 6, FTX transferred 750,000 SOL to Binance and Kraken as part of its liquidation process. SOL enthusiasts and observers interested in Solana price forecasts have been closely monitoring these actions by FTX. The concern stems from the potential impact these sell-offs might exert on SOL’s price. Despite FTX's sell-off of Solana, the token's price has exhibited remarkable resilience, maintaining an upward trajectory. From November 6 to November 23, the Solana token experienced a remarkable surge in price, soaring from $42.13 to $58.26. This 38.26% increase in SOL's price occurred despite the SOL sell-offs by FTX. Crypto analysts believe that the upsurge in Solana's price, notwithstanding FTX's significant sell-offs, signifies a robust and enduring demand for SOL tokens. Due to this, predictions for Solana price predictions indicate that SOL will likely maintain its current bullish momentum, potentially surging to $62 by December. On the other hand, other industry experts believe that the FTX sell-offs may trigger a price decline for SOL. If that happens, they foresee SOL declining to the $40.55 mark by the end of November. Examining Rebel Satoshi’s Rebel Revolution Rebel Satoshi is a transformative cryptocurrency project that has rapidly garnered attention among top ICO experts and investors. Drawing inspiration from iconic mavericks like Satoshi Nakamoto and Guy Fawkes, this project stands as a beacon of defiance against conventional financial norms. At its core, Rebel Satoshi seeks to unite the silent majority and challenge centralized crypto entities. The project's focal point is its native token, $RBLZ, an ERC-20 digital asset that embodies the essence of rebellion and decentralization. What sets $RBLZ apart is its deflationary issuance model. This unique feature, coupled with a commitment to zero buy or sell taxes, positions $RBLZ as a top crypto to buy. Rebel Satoshi isn't solely about financial gains; it's a movement advocating for decentralized finance and community empowerment. Encouraging active participation, the project engages its community in interactive quests and embraces meme culture, fostering an environment of unity and engagement. Presently, RebelSatoshi is conducting the Early Bird Round of its public presale, offering $RBLZ at $0.01 per token. With anticipation building for the subsequent Rebel Round, experts foresee a potential 30% surge, further solidifying $RBLZ 's value proposition. Additionally, the project aims to list $RBLZ at 40.025, indicating the potential for a 150% return on investment for early supporters. Rebel Satoshi isn't just another crypto project; it's a movement with a mission to redefine the crypto landscape, making it a compelling consideration for investors seeking both financial growth and active community participation.

Putting the Brakes on Distracted Driving This Holiday Season

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/-m__hB55lSE The holiday season is here – and that means there will be an increase of motorists on U.S. roadways. With more families hitting the road, it’s an important time to discuss the dangers and consequences of distracted driving. The 2023 Travelers Risk Index on distracted driving found that 70% of consumers feel that distracted driving is more of a problem now than it was over the past few years. Following are additional highlights from the 2023 Travelers Risk Index: · 80% make or receive calls. · 57% use handheld devices. · 28% post on social media. · 27% take photos or videos. The Travelers Institute, the public policy division at Travelers, has been raising awareness of the dangers of distracted driving through its Every Second Matters® campaign – an initiative that began in 2017. Since the campaign started, the Travelers Institute has published a number of whitepapers and resources to help consumers understand the risks and learn how to be safe behind the wheel. The Travelers Institute was joined by Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), the world’s largest telematics solution provider, which regularly publishes new distracted driving data insights and road safety reports throughout the year. According to its new report, The State of Distracted Driving in 2023 & the Future of Road Safety, CMT reports that the 23% surge in distracted driving in 2022 caused an additional 420,000 crashes, 1,000 fatalities, and $10 billion in economic damages. Additionally, a new analysis from CMT shows that distracted driving increased by 9.2% on Thanksgiving Day from 2020 to 2022. For more information, visit TRAVELERSINSTITUTE.ORG AND CMT.AI.
