Upcoming Book 'The FUSE Pathway' Introduces a Way for Combining Passions to Lead a Fulfilling Life

Paul Kirby

In anticipation of his April 2025 book launch, 'The FUSE Pathway: How to Find and Lead a Fulfilling Life,' Paul Kirby invites audiences to explore an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) tour of his art gallery and robotics studio. This early release provides a hands-on introduction to 'fusioneering'—Kirby’s innovative approach to merging diverse interests and passions for a richer, more fulfilling life. Now live on The FUSE Pathway website, the VR tour features "Dulcinea," Kirby’s self-engineered painting robot, demonstrating his groundbreaking fusion of art and science. “Embarking on 'The FUSE Pathway' has created insights to both invention and personal discovery," Kirby reflects. "This book and the accompanying VR tour reflect my quest to harmoniously blend art and science. I hope to serve as an inspiration, supporting others to realize the potential of fusing diverse interests and passions to pursue a more fulfilling and authentic way of life.” A Unique Gateway into The FUSE Pathway Experience the groundbreaking fusion of art and technology in The Paul Kirby Virtual Art Gallery and Robotics Studio tour. Visitors will witness the extraordinary results achievable through fusioneering, exemplified by "Dulcinea," the AI-driven painting robot Kirby designed and built. Each artwork created by Kirby and Dulcinea involves thousands of lines of code, with brushstrokes often numbering just as many, illustrating the meticulous precision and complex programming behind each piece. Among the artworks available for viewing is "Swirling Timbers of Chaos," which, for instance, comprises 24,875 unique brushstrokes —a creative outcome of a program Kirby developed inspired by the game of pickup sticks. Among the first of its kind, the VR tour offers a mixed media experience influenced by the digital experiences offered by the world’s most famous galleries, including London’s National Gallery. Inspired by the enthusiastic reactions of young visitors to Kirby’s physical gallery and studio, this ultra-high-resolution experience presents the vibrant color of brushwork as if you’re standing in front of the paintings before you. Interactive elements enable visitors to zoom in to see individual paint brushstrokes in great detail and explore videos that dive deeper into the artistic and technical story behind the paintings. Designed to inspire and excite readers about the possibilities of fusioneering, this immersive experience sets the stage for the deeper explorations and guidance provided in Kirby’s book, "The FUSE Pathway." Leading up to the book’s release, the VR tour serves as a unique, hands-on demonstration of Kirby’s philosophy, allowing visitors to see where Kirby and Dulcinea collaborate to create one-of-a-kind paintings. By immersing themselves in the VR tour, visitors can begin their own fusioneering journey, months before the book is released. Start Your Fusioneering Journey Today Future fusioneers can begin their journey by visiting the now-available VR tour, subscribing to Kirby’s newsletter, or pre-ordering The FUSE Pathway today. These resources are available to all and offer an immediate and interactive way to engage with the concepts fully explored in the forthcoming book. Follow The FUSE Pathway (@thefusepathway) on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube to join the growing community of creative thinkers reshaping their worlds through fusioneering. About Paul Kirby: Paul Kirby is the creator of “fusioneering,” a methodology for combining two or more personal interests and passions to craft a vision and way of life aligned with one's true purpose. His unique application of fusioneering, through the integration of art and technology, has led to the development of Dulcinea, a robot that produces original artworks, illustrating this innovative philosophy's pragmatic, yet inspiring possibilities. Kirby’s forthcoming book, "The FUSE Pathway," explores how individuals can use fusioneering to craft a vision for a more exciting and fulfilling life.

Justin Sun Honors Maurizio Cattelan’s Iconic ‘Comedian’, Bridging Art and Crypto Culture

TRON DAO

Geneva, Switzerland, December 2, 2024– Justin Sun, founder of TRON and Advisor to HTX, held a press conference in Hong Kong to celebrate his acquisition of Comedian, the iconic conceptual artwork by Maurizio Cattelan famously known as the "world's most expensive banana." Sun’s record-setting bid of $6.24 million, announced on November 21, 2024, marked a pivotal moment for the intersection of art, memes, and crypto culture. Event Highlights The press conference opened with a welcome address by Justin Sun, where he discussed the significance of Comedian as a cultural bridge uniting the art and crypto culture. A highlight of the event was the Banana Eating Ceremony, where Sun honored the iconic moment from Art Basel Miami to celebrate the artwork’s cultural legacy and enduring impact. This was followed by an on-site Q&A session with MetaEra, Fashion Network, CoinDesk, and Foresight News, fostering discussions about the acquisition and its implications for the convergence of art and blockchain technology. The event brought together over 150 attendees, including key media representatives from Sotheby’s, Financial Times, BAZAAR ART, Nikkei, Bloomberg, PANews, CNN, as well as industry leaders and art enthusiasts, to explore the intersection of art, memes, and crypto culture. “Maurizio Cattelan’s ‘Comedian’ resonates deeply with me because it connects art, memes, and cryptocurrency, three seemingly disparate worlds. All of them rely on collective participation, challenge norms, and foster creativity, making ‘Comedian’ a perfect representation of the era we live in.” – Justin Sun, Founder of TRON Bridging Art, Technology, and Culture Through TRON, Sun has built a decentralized platform that empowers artists with resources to digitize their work and share it with a global audience.

Global Trending DeFi Meme Token Raises Over $1.1 Million In Pre-sale, The Next Gen In DeFi?

Cutoshi

As Bitcoin teases the market with $99k BTC highs, a new token is piquing interest as it trends on X for the second time, and raises over $1.1M in funding in record time. Is it a meme? Is it a DeFi ecosystem? Well it's both, and the name is Cutoshi. From Memes to Millions - Cutoshi’s Rise to Fame The presale project Cutoshi has a clear vision. To blend the iconic and prosperity bringing Lucky Cat symbol, to DeFi. Its ability to trend on X twice in recent weeks highlights the attention the project has gained. As it combines meme culture with a serious DeFi mission, it’s resonating with thousands of investors. Words are great but numbers contain precious data. Cutoshi has raised over $1.14M in funding in just over a month. And their socials include over 10k members on X and 5k Telegram members. That’s why $CUTO (the ecosystem’s native token) has been trending at the top spot of X. Also, they recently launched a group yield farming initiative, with over 3500 people participating, showing how bullish their community is. This is a project grounded in both community engagement and practical features. Cutoshi’s Unique Spin on Memecoins The memecoin world might seem oversaturated, but again the big returns of the sector in 2024 show otherwise. However Cutoshi wants to be more than just a flash in the pan, instead distinguishing itself by solving real problems faced by DeFi users. One way is their core offering - a cross-chain DEX that solves the issue of fragmented liquidity and confusing and expensive transactions across blockchains. What is within the Cutoshi Ecosystem? Some of Cutoshi’s main features include: The Cutoshi DEX - Built to support cross-chain trades, addressing liquidity challenges that often limit decentralized finance The Learning Academy - Recognising that memecoin holders might wish to learn more bout the benefits of DeFi Token Incentives - Holders of $CUTO enjoy discounted lessons on their DeFi academy, (most modules are free but more advanced ones will be payable in Cuto) and discounts on Cutoshi merch A Collectible Lucky Cat NFT collection - with DeFi-based benefits Community Engagement - Frequent group activities including, most recently, a meme competition with a $2,000 prize pool Clever Tokenomics - 7% reserved for burning to keep prices up, just like BNB or SHIB The team is keen to highlight the importance of the learning academy, as it This initiative reflects the project’s mission to create a DeFi ecosystem that’s user-friendly and educational. And one that stays close to Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of financial freedom and autonomy. What’s Next for Cutoshi? In addition to continuing to build in alignment with their roadmap and lite paper, the next step for Cutoshi is to sell out of the third stage of the presale. That shouldn’t take long since it's already 95% sold out. At this point the token will go up in price, meaning all existing holders will be in profit. For those considering an entry, now might be the ideal moment. Whether drawn by the memes, the DeFi potential, or the Lucky Cat’s charm, Cutoshi is shaping up to be a project that merges fun with real-world impact. And it could be the project that introduces the next generation of meme coin traders to the benefits of DeFi and web3.

Charles Schwab Ready To Get Into Crypto, Is DeFi The Way Forward As Institutional Players Accumulate BTC?

Cutoshi

As Bitcoin gets ever closer to $100,000, institutional investors cannot afford to ignore it any longer. In a recent interview with the new CEO of Charles Schwab, (Rick Wurster), he revealed that Schwab customers are getting ready to receive direct exposure to Bitcoin and crypto via Spot ETFs. At the same time, while BlackRock changed history after getting the first BTC Spot ETF approved, they are also quietly accumulating billions of dollars of Bitcoin for themselves. So what does this mean for the future of Bitcoin and decentralized finance (DeFi)? Could DeFi ecosystems, like Cutoshi, be the next big step in a market increasingly dominated by institutional players? The Big Boys Load Up On BTC According to info from Arkam Intelligence, Blackrock’s crypto wallet contains close to $50 billion dollars of crypto, with the majority in Bitcoin, but also has holdings in ETH and other altcoins. This all happened in a matter of months. And that’s just one of several asset managers, albeit the biggest. To put this into perspective, gold ETFs took about five years to reach half that amount of investment. James Heckman, CEO of RTB Digital Inc, highlighted the significance of this move, saying, “When they feel like they have an opportunity to have a monopoly... they move in, they take a massive position.” This massive growth in Bitcoin accumulation isn’t just about market trends. It’s a coordinated effort by major financial institutions, which Heckman describes as “all one and... all coordinated.” Charles Schwab Plans For Spot Crypto Exposure According to Nate Geraci, Charles Schwab’s customers are beginning to demand more exposure to crypto-related products, saying “Can’t overstate how big of a deal this is”. The firm already offers crypto-linked ETFs and Bitcoin futures, but CEO Wurster confirmed that the company plans to enter the spot market when regulations allow. And given the pro-crypto government about to take power in the US and the SEC chair planning to step down on January 20th, that won’t take long. Wurster also admitted to feeling a bit of personal regret for not investing earlier. “Crypto has certainly caught many’s attention and they’ve made a lot of money doing it,” he said. “I have not bought crypto and now I feel silly.” DeFi - The Next Stage Of Growth Once institutions establish their positions in Bitcoin, the natural progression is to explore decentralized finance. DeFi offers things that Bitcoin doesn’t, such as receiving high yields from staking and easily trading all kinds of products such as tokenized versions of real-world assets (RWAs). These things appeal to both retail and institutional investors who want to make the biggest returns possible and be at the forefront of innovation. Other big players such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) have been prominent investors in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, actively supporting various web3 projects and funds, to the tune of several billion dollars. Also, a16z's "State of Crypto 2024" report highlights the firm's ongoing interest in DeFi, noting that decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have grown to account for 10% of spot crypto trading activity - a significant increase from four years ago when most activity occurred on centralized exchanges. This shift could open the door for projects that make DeFi accessible and scalable, addressing the needs of everyday users and institutions. The Perfect Time To Explore Cutoshi’s Ecosystem? Cutoshi is a prime example of how DeFi can evolve to meet the needs of both experienced users and crypto newcomers. Built on Ethereum, Cutoshi combines a cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) with peer-to-peer trading options, simplifying the often-complicated world of blockchain interoperability. For users new to DeFi, Cutoshi also offers a learning academy, breaking down complex concepts into fun and engaging lessons. This makes the ecosystem approachable for everyone. Cutoshi uses the meme power that has been so popular this year, (with even BlackRock having meme coins like PEPE and MOG). They are using the Lucky Cat as a mascot, alongside user participation, to build a loyal community. This hybrid of practical utility and playful branding sets it apart in a market where many projects struggle to offer long-term value. As the project is in presale and has raised over $1.1 million in funding, this is an ideal moment for those looking for large returns to investigate this new approach to DeFi.

The Biggest Gainers This Bull Run Won't Be Solana Or Ethereum, This ERC20 Token Is One To Watch

Cutoshi

At the risk of stating the obvious, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) are poised to hit new all-time highs. However, given the massive size of their market caps, it’s unlikely for both projects to experience the same price multipliers that shook the crypto community in the past. Savvy investors know that the real opportunity is found in undervalued, low-cap gems like Cutoshi. Ethereum Is Gaining Ground, $5,000 Next? In November, Ethereum awoke from its slumber with a 40% monthly surge that saw the ETH price soar. At press time, Ethereum trades at $3,528 with a 5.3% intraday increase. On the Ethereum chart, a string of higher lows confirms that ETH is moving in an ascending channel as buying pressure is building up. Analyst Jelle has shared a chart reading on X that looks at the macro picture. Ethereum is rapidly approaching a multi-year descending trendline that has acted as a dynamic resistance ever since ETH reached its $4,891 all-time high in 2021. A breakout above this trendline could see Ethereum gain escape velocity and soar above $5,000 with relative ease. Furthermore, for the first time ever, Ethereum ETFs have surpassed BTC ETFs in net inflows. On November 26, Bitcoin ETFs recorded over $123 million in net outflows. On the same day, Ethereum saw $40 million in net inflows. Solana Rebounds 4% After Correction Solana (SOL) has been making headlines throughout 2024 between its meme coin factory churning tens of millions in revenue and a possible SOL ETF launch. Just recently, Solana reached a new all-time high of $263, totaling over 40% monthly gains. This latest push saw Solana overtake long-standing rival BNB as the 4th largest cryptocurrency with $113 billion in market cap. As traders started booking profits, Solana retraced all the way down to the $214 support, from where it rebounded and settled at $236. On-chain analysis shows that Solana could be in for some more disruption, as $6 billion in short positions have piled up, significantly boosting selling pressure. However, if Solana bulls hold their ground and push the price higher, a massive liquidation could fuel a massive SOL rally and send its price into the stratosphere. On X, influencer CryptoCurb has shared an interesting opinion, juxtaposing Ethereum’s 2021 price structure with that of Solana’s today. If this scenario plays out, Solana could skyrocket to $1,000 at the peak of the bull run in 2025. Despite the significant gains that both Solana and Ethereum will undoubtedly bring, Cutoshi could still outperform them both given the magnitudes and smaller size of its market cap. Could Cutoshi Become The Meme Coin Standard? Cutoshi draws inspiration from the Lucky Cat of Japanese legends. These cats are said to bring good fortune and prosperity to businesses and Cutoshi does the same on the blockchain while blessing its community with huge rewards. Cutoshi boasts a complex DeFi ecosystem centered around CUTO DEX, a state-of-the-art cross-chain exchange. The platform seamlessly connects isolated blockchains while ensuring greater privacy and robust security. Users will enjoy lightning-fast transactions at the lowest possible fees across a multitude of chains. Members of the Cutoshi community are offered numerous monetary incentives to engage with the ecosystem and boost Cutoshi’s online presence. Via the Cutoshi Farming initiative, they can complete various missions and quests to earn CUTO points, which can then be exchanged for $CUTO tokens. Until December 4, they can also participate in Cutoshi’s meme contest and share their best memes. $2,000 in prizes await and those who want to learn more can do so here. The $CUTO presale is now wrapping up its third stage and more than 82% of the available tokens have been sold out. $CUTO price at just $0.0259.

BTC Hits Record High, But Rainbow Chart Hints At Higher Surges Ahead, Shiba Inu Burn Rate Spikes 6000% As New DeFi Altcoin Enters The Market

Cutoshi

Bitcoin approached the $100k mark, reaching $99,645 and is now experiencing a correction with some analysts warning that BTC must hold $92,500, but the Rainbow chart indicates long-term bullishness. Shiba Inu sees its biggest burn rate ever as creator Shytoshi says that burning 99% of the currency is now possible. A new coin, $CUTO, the basis of the Cutoshi DeFi ecosystem, has the potential to surge in price after hitting a new milestone in fundraising. Bitcoin Almost Hits $100k Milestone But Faces Key Resistance BTC has been doing what it does best, hitting all-time highs and getting close to the psychological $100,000k threshold. However, in the last hours, a death cross formed on the 4 hourly charts and the price began to tumble. Bears got liquidated to the tune of $500 million and BTC is currently trying to defend $92,000. Analyst Skew said it is extremely important that Bitcoin’s $92,5k to $92k level is upheld. If not, a bigger correction could be on the cards. Respected analyst Ali Marinez replied, agreeing and reposting his tweet from two days ago, which said that the TD Sequential charts were suggesting a pullback of $91,583 or even $85,610 for BTC. However, a few minutes ago he tweeted again, saying a bullish pattern is forming on the 1hr chart. Looking at longer-term trends, the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart suggests we are in the green ‘Accumulate’ zone. The indicator, invented by Reddit user u/trolololo in 2014, has become a popular way for Bitcoin users to track where they are in Bitcon’s cycle. But like any indicator, it should be used with other tools as well. Shytoshi Highlights The Bigger Picture Beyond Burns Shiba Inu hit a new record as well, with a burn rate of over 6200% and the potential to burn 99% of the supply due to the collaborative nature of the Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 Blockchain. However, the pseudonymous creator Shytoshi reminded the community that the burn rate is just one small part of a much bigger and more meaningful ecosystem. They told people that they want SHIB to appreciate in price due to its DeFi features and utilities. This is because the devs want Shiba Inu to be a coin with long-term sustainability and growth potential. This meme and utility combination could lead Shiba Inu to become crypto’s biggest meme coin, pushing above Dogecoin in the current cycle. Although Dogecoin is better known, it has very little utility or development. Presale Momentum: $CUTO’s Path To $1.1M And Beyond A new coin is taking a leaf out of Shiba Inu’s book and that’s CUTO. On the face of it, Cutoshi is a cat-based meme coin, drawing inspiration from the Chinese Lucky Cat figures, often seen in Asian businesses around the world. But beneath the surface, like SHIB, it's also a DeFi ecosystem, but in the early stages of development. The team plans to release a cross-chain DEX, a learning academy, NFTs with utility such as trading discounts and more. And like Shiba Inu, Cutoshi has a buyback and burn scheme. Right now, Cutoshi is developing behind the scenes and focusing on uniting their community through competitive token farming and fun quests. The latest from the team is a competition where people can win a share of a $2000 prize pool for making an ‘epic meme’. This multi-layered approach appears to be working very well, as the token has raised over $1.1 million in presale funding, with the third stage of presale almost sold out. CUTO is available for $0.259, up 72% on the monthly.
