Substrate Artificial Intelligence attracts first institutional investor during "great year"

Substrate Artificial Intelligence

Substrate Artificial Intelligence (AQSE:SAI.B, OTCQB:SUIAF) CEO José Iván García and Chairman Lorenzo Serratosa speak to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the Spanish AI company announced it has received €2 million in new investment from IMPULSE Tech Transfer, a venture capital fund. Also part of the deal, IMPULSE gets to name a director to Substrate's supervisory board. García explains that IMPULSE is Substrate's first institutional investor and says its a "great opportunity" for the company and hopefully the first of many. Reflecting on a 2023 that he describes as a "great year" for Substrate, Serratosa highlights the company's solid growth, with a 150% increase in revenues to €6.5mln. This achievement is particularly notable given the company's status as a relatively small player in the AI industry, especially within the Spanish market. Substrate AI's aggressive expansion strategy included acquiring four companies, further diversifying its portfolio and solidifying its presence in the European AI sector. Looking ahead to 2024, the company aims to continue its growth trajectory, targeting a 100% revenue increase to an estimated €13mln. This ambitious goal is supported by a focus on micro M&A and exploring new opportunities to enhance its competitive edge in AI.

From Paper to Precision: How Chakow is Changing the UK’s Toilet Habits one flush at a time

Chakow Limited

Chakow, the UK’s first dedicated bidet supplier, is delighted to announce the launch of its unique bidet attachment to the UK market. It’s the first step in a bold plan to move the nation away from its toilet paper addiction, towards a greener, more sustainable future. The Chakow bidet attachment can be fitted to your existing toilet in less than ten minutes without the aid of a plumber, and instantly creates a hygienic, cost-effective alternative to loo roll that is much better for the environment. The UK is one of the biggest consumers of toilet paper in the world. While bidets are the standard in many parts of Europe and Asia, they have never really caught on in UK bathrooms. But, with public awareness around sustainability improving all the time, that might be about to change. Toilet paper is the ultimate ‘use once, throw away’ consumer item. It has a shorter life-span that any single use plastic, and, despite attempts to improve recycling and make products biodegradable, the humble loo roll still has a devastatingly high carbon footprint. Millions of trees are cut down every day to meet the nation’s toilet paper demands, while ‘luxury’ alternatives such as wet wipes are even worse for the environment, often ending up in landfills and waterways. If just 10,000 UK households switched to using a bidet for a year, the carbon emissions saved would be the equivalent of driving a family car around the world 861 times. It would also save a significant amount of water, as each bidet flush uses only about a cup of water, compared to 47 gallons of water used to manufacture one roll of toilet paper. The Chakow bidet - a testament to form and function While the environmental benefits to using a bidet are staggering, moving away from toilet paper permanently is also much more cost-effective and hygienic. The UK’s reliance on toilet paper is largely cultural and driven by a fear of the unknown. The simple fact is that in many parts of the world, bidets are - literally - part of the furniture, and provide a sense of cleanliness and freshness that toilet paper can never match. Chakow is also committed to making the switch to bidets easy on the family finances. There is a low, one-off cost to installing the bidet attachment which can be recouped very quickly with the money saved from removing toilet roll from the weekly shop. In the long run, families can expect to make huge savings while also doing their bit for the environment. Chakow Bidet Features: Sleek, modern design with each knob meticulously crafted from a single billet of aluminium Non-electric for easy installation and maintenance Uses your existing water supply from your toilet cistern tank and warm water from your home heating system Easy to fit in less than 10 minutes with all the components provided and no plumber required Backed by a friendly Chakow consultant team who are always available to help Designed in the UK by a bunch of Brits trying to change the nation’s toilet habits one flush at a time! “Switching from toilet roll to bidets is more about mindset and tradition than anything else,” says Bikke Chettri, Founder of Chakow. “But we are not talking about a drastic lifestyle change here. We believe that by creating and designing a simple, superior, and eco-friendly product, we can inspire small yet impactful changes in day-to-day life. Our vision is to create a movement towards a more modern, hygienic, and environmentally conscious bathroom experience for everyone in the UK.” For further information, visit ​​ https://chakow.com/.

GinsGlobal Index Fund Managing Director sees strong tailwinds for Cloud and Tech ETFs

HANetf

Anthony Ginsberg, CEO of GINSGLOBAL Index Fund joined Steve Darling from Proactive to an overview of the performance and trends in its Cloud Technology ETF and the Tech Megatrend ETF for 2023. For the Cloud Technology ETF, Ginsburg highlights a strong year with returns exceeding 41%. He attributes this success to the growth of artificial intelligence (AI), which is driving increased spending on cloud services. Cloud providers like Microsoft and Google are integrating AI chips into their platforms, making them major beneficiaries of this trend. The continued prevalence of remote work has also led to substantial mergers and acquisitions in the cybersecurity sector linked to cloud services. Turning to the Tech Megatrend ETF, Ginsburg notes that it has seen a robust performance, nearly reaching a 40% increase. Lower interest rate forecasts and the Federal Reserve's pause have favored growth stocks. The integration of AI and digital technologies across various industries has been a significant driver of growth. Ginsburg highlights Microsoft's acquisition of Activision for $75 billion as an example of the convergence of social media, cloud, and digital gaming, all powered by AI. The gaming industry has surpassed Hollywood in size, driven by AI advancements and mobile device gaming. Looking ahead to 2024, Ginsburg expects the growth in these sectors to continue.

Ark Invest Dumps $11.5M Worth Of Coinbase Shares, Revenue Sharing DeFi Platform Continues Attracting Investors To Profitable Presale

Pullix.io

Recently, Ark Invest has sold $11.5M worth of Coinbase shares. This move has sparked discussions in the crypto community. Meanwhile, Pullix (PLX), a revenue-sharing DeFi platform, continues to captivate investors' interest through its ongoing presale. According to some market analysts, this new ICO, now in Stage 2 of its presale, is pegged to become the next 100x token in 2024. Let's take a closer look at why. A Change in the Ark Invest Strategy Ark Invest's decision to dump its Coinbase shares signals a strategic shift. This action is significant; however, it doesn't necessarily mean a diminishing belief in the crypto space. Instead, it might hint at a reallocation strategy or diversified investment approach. On December 15, the Coinbase stock sat at $148.52, according to TradingView, down 2.24% from December 14. This is a 56% fall from its all-time high of $342.98 set during November 2021. Pullix (PLX): One Of The Best DeFi Projects Amid this, Pullix (PLX) remains a focal point in the DeFi market. This upcoming hybrid DeFi trading platform will merge the best centralized and decentralized exchange features. As a result, you will benefit significantly as a trader with high leverage at 1000:1, deep liquidity, and self-custody over your assets. Additionally, Pullix sets itself apart by allowing the trade of all asset classes (including cryptos). This will open up numerous financial markets, even the forex one. According to a 2019 Triennial Central Bank Survey, the forex market saw a daily volume of $6.6T in 2022. This aspect gives Pullix a competitive edge over platforms like Binance or Coinbase, which have a "crypto-only" policy. A Unique Revenue-Sharing System At the heart of this platform and all its features will lie the PLX native token. It is now worth just $0.042 as it is in Stage 2 of its presale. This crypto ICO event has caused a frenzy in the community as 4.7M tokens have already been sold, and $199,000 have been raised. One key reason is Pullix's revenue-sharing model, which allows investors to benefit from the platform's success. In other words, those who stake the PLX native token will receive a percentage of Pullix's daily revenue. Moreover, Pullix will implement a burn feature that will make the altcoin deflationary and scarce - potentially increasing its value. If you become a liquidity provider on Pullix, you may even stake other cryptocurrencies with Pullix to receive fixed interest rates over time. For example, you may deposit Bitcoin, and your fixed interest rate will be paid out in Bitcoin. The interest rate will vary from 8-18% depending on the lock-up period. For those who desire only to hold the PLX token, know that you will receive discounts of up to 60% on trading fees while also gaining exclusive access to specific asset classes. This way, every trader will benefit. Conclusion While Ark Invest's move signals a shift, it doesn't diminish the appeal of DeFi projects like Pullix. Since it has a low market cap of $8M, it would only need $8M for its current price (and returns to investors) to double. This is achievable considering the innovative features Pullix will introduce and the financial markets it will tap into. Because of this fact, plus its high demand with millions of tokens already sold, experts in the field foresee a 580% value rise for this altcoin before its presale ends. In Q1 of 2024, after its launch and exchange listing, it may even experience a 100x pump - making PLX one of the altcoins to watch. For more information regarding Pullix’s presale see links below: 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. Serving as the pioneer of “Trade-to-Earn” our native token $PLX empowers the community to earn a portion of the daily revenues generated by the exchange.

Top Cryptos 'Diamond Hands' Are Hodling: Bitcoin (BTC), Everlodge (ELDG), Dogecoin (DOGE)

Everlodge

As the recent crypto bull run comes to an end investors are wondering which tokens they should hold and which they should sell. According to crypto experts, Bitcoin, Everlodge and Dogecoin are being held long term, with many analysts predicting long term gains over the next year. Will Bitcoin Hit A New ATH In 2024? Bitcoin recently pioneered a crypto bull run. After hitting its highest value in 2023, the crypto market followed, with some projects recording price increases of over 100%. Now, investors are asking what’s next for Bitcoin after it decreased by 4% in the last week. In the short term, some experts predict that Bitcoin could fall below $40,000. This setback could trigger a bear market, though Bitcoin is expected to bounce back in Q1. This recovery is expected to be fueled by a recent announcement by the U.S. Government. The development impacts accounting rules, and will make Bitcoin more accessible for U.S. companies. According to Cory Klippsten, the CEO of Swan Bitcoin, this development could trigger another DeFi bull run, during which Bitcoin could hit a new all-time high. Dogecoin Set To Surge After Elon Announcement Dogecoin is expected to surge in Q1 after Elon Musk announced a new satellite named after the project. Doge-1 is a satellite showcasing the Dogecoin logo. Upon launch, Dogecoin is expected to rise dramatically, with some experts suggesting that it could double in value. Additionally, the launch of Doge-1 will also trigger a surge in Dogecoin activity on social media. Social media hype has historically triggered surges in Dogecoins value, which has many experts excited about Dogecoins performance in Q1. At the time of writing, Dogecoin was trading at $0.09466 and had decreased in value by 4% over the last week. Diamond Hands Buy Everlodge For Long Term Returns Everlodge is becoming extremely popular among investors after the first few stages of its presale quickly sold out. The innovative new project has been praised for its unique new DeFi application, and some experts believe its value will increase 35x when the project launches on major exchanges. Everlodge is a new DeFi ecosystem with a focus on the travel property market. Its star feature is a new marketplace where investors can buy equity in travel properties. To do this, they will buy fractionalized NFTs that represent equity in the property. After buying, they will generate an income based on the proportion of the property they own. For example, if an investor owns 15% of a property, they will earn 15% of its revenue. Everlodge will also introduce a new launchpad for property developers, where investors can get involved early to maximize their returns. This unique new concept is the first of its kind, and is expected to disrupt the travel property market, which is currently surrounded by red tape. To get involved in the Everlodge presale, investors can buy ELDG tokens. Tokens are currently available for $0.027 and offer a number of lucrative holder benefits. One benefit that stands out is free stays at properties throughout the Everlodge ecosystem. These stays offer the chance to earn a free holiday, or additional income if the investor chooses to sell their stay. Visit Everlodge Everlodge provides you with a seamless approach to fractional investing in vacation rentals, eliminating the complexities associated with traditional real estate investment. Our innovative platform revolutionizes the way people invest in second homes. Digital currencies may be unregulated in your jurisdiction. The value of digital currencies may go down as well as up.
