When used correctly, social media can be lucrative, even providing some with a stable income. The difference is recognizing social media as more than a platform for connecting with people. Rather, it should be considered as a platform for businesses. The Smart Advertising Transaction Token SaTT is bridging the gap between social media creators and advertisers, providing those with an opportunity to turn their connections into profitable returns.
The SaTT platform provides users with the opportunity to farm their social networks through their advertising token, which provides an exchange of advertising and audience payment utilities. Smart contracts hold the advertising offer with data that is verified directly on the blockchain. With blockchain technology, this process is automated, ensuring that transactions are done quickly, and transparency is maintained. The new SaTT way of advertising uses early cryptocurrency codes, including airdrops and bounties, to prove the value that this can have on the industry at large.
This means that social media enthusiasts can get paid for their Tweets, Facebook posts, YouTube videos or otherwise, and businesses can reach communities that they may never have been able to before.
SaTT was created with the ultimate goal to leverage the blockchain for more streamlined advertising efforts. With decentralization, SaTT eliminates the need for a middleman between creators and advertisers, and ad campaigns can be executed more efficiently.
To demonstrate this proof-of-concept, Atayen, the developing company, is showcasing Twitter Ad Pools for those who consider themselves early adopters. This example will allow users to discover the advantages of SaTT firsthand by earning cryptocurrencies through farming their Twitter posts. As a starting point, the Twitter proof-of-concept will demonstrate the usefulness of the token while simultaneously increasing visibility and rewarding the community. The experience is kept simple since users can start by logging into the wallet and selecting the Ad Pool they are interested in.
Next, they can submit a post that meets the requirements and share their wallet information. The relationship is not one-sided, also offering several benefits for the business looking for influencer partnerships. SaTT allows advertisers to run entire campaigns based on a set of conditions, searchable through APIs, and ensuring tampered results are eliminated.
Therefore, affiliates must meet the criteria a business decides on, leaving it up to the oracle to execute the payment and return the results of the marketing effort. On Nov.
As a result, the present showcases a turn of a paradigm for accelerated marketing efforts and real opportunities to earn through social media.

A cursory look at its price chart reveals as much. It has been in bear territory since the beginning of …. It has been in bear territory since the beginning of September. Source: Shutterstock. These are still the early days of cryptocurrency. One of the most important things to do is to simply understand projects, decide you believe in their goals and stick with them if you do.
In time, many altcoins will multiply in value. However, one of the most useful things to do is to understand the philosophy and goals behind projects. Separating the wheat from the chaff has a lot to do with communicating purpose early on.
Cardano is arguably the most philosophically complete crypto project there is. The purpose and roadmap laid out on its website actually communicate a project that you , me and everyone else can understand. By that standard, the entire project is by far the best-communicated altcoin venture in my eyes. We believe the future should not be defined by the past, and that more is possible — and, through technology, can be made possible for all. We measure the worth of a task not by its challenge, but by its results.
That probably sounds as vague to you as it does to me. But the more I read about Cardano, the more confident I am that it has a great chance of success in the long run.
I continue to return to that roadmap as I try to wrap my head around the cryptocurrency revolution. Cardano entered the third of five stages — the Goguen era — very recently. It was only a few months ago that Cardano entered phase three of its five-phase plan. It completed the Alonzo hard fork on Sept. However, despite enthusiasm for the addition and a successful hard fork, ADA has basically decreased in value since.
The decline correlates broadly to a few things. First, Bitcoin has been volatile over the past few months. Cardano has had other problems as well. That was another factor serving to bring Cardano lower following the Alonzo hard fork.
My point here is this: Cardano is in a bearish phase. However, it remains one of the most fundamentally solid cryptocurrency projects out there. Long term investors interested in cryptocurrency are going to struggle to find a more logically constructed crypto project than Cardano.

Rather, Coincast actually deletes a part of the private key that secures cryptocurrency in non-custodial wallets and then literally brute-forces that part when someone received the funds. Lose that password, and you literally could lose access to the cryptocurrency forever.
Making crypto easy is important if the next billion people are going to start using digital cash, minting NFTs, and participating in web3 projects. While the regular world of finance has its own issues and complexities, these new challenges, along with all the forest of apps and terms and platforms in the emerging world of cryptocurrency, keeps potential users and adopters at bey. But in our opinion, everyone has a phone number and so it just gets really easy to just send crypto via phone number.
Using a custodial wallet, like the Coinbase website, is easier. Note: Coinbase Wallet and Coinbase are different things. I tried to give my kids a little bit of crypto. They gave up before I could send them any. Crypto is already so hard — and irreversible — that even cryptocurrency companies regularly send funds mistakenly. Despite the fact that Coincast is a non-custodial wallet, there is an option users can enable that will allow Coincast to recover lost funds.

AdaSwap, an ecosystem builder that will establish the first decentralized exchange on the Cardano network, is launching a token sale on Cardstarter to raise funds from supportive investors and drive sustainable growth of its platform.
The fund raise is intended to help AdaSwap deliver on its ambition of building the first DEX on Cardano, one of the most popular blockchain projects for decentralized application developers.
AdaSwap will solve this by creating a native and gamified DEX for the Cardano network that will serve as a platform for users to easily swap Cardano-based tokens. In addition, AdaSwap will fashion a native NFT marketplace, and fixed, long-term, high-yield liquidity pools. With these applications, AdaSwap users will be able to stake tokens, buy and sell NFT artwork and earn high interest on their investments.
In order to build a better financial system, AdaSwap will stop focusing on higher liquidity locks, and start focusing on what really matters: users. AdaSwap possesses a first-mover advantage on Cardano, enabling it to create a micro-ecosystem that will help the world develop and use the Cardano Blockchain. ASW tokens are a Cardano-native token, making them easily interchangeable with all other Cardano-based tokens. ASW token holders will be able to swap tokens on the AdaSwap DEX, leverage arbitrage opportunities in real-time and save on transaction fees via a Free Financial Model where no participation or transaction fees are applied.
It is incumbent on all those who share this ethos to extend our support to the builders, creators, and projects working to lay down the infrastructure of decentralized finance on Cardano. I believe that ADAswap has an important role to play in this regard. The ecosystem is rapidly taking shape, and I am more confident than ever that the future of DeFi is bright, close at hand, and built on Cardano. ASW tokens have generated huge discussion on channels such as VoskCoin and Banter Capital, whipping up tremendous enthusiasm ahead of its launch on Cardstarter, a decentralized project accelerator that helps new projects launch IDO token sales on the Cardano blockchain.
With its goal of connecting early stage Cardano innovators to a community of donors, Cardstarter is an ideal launchpad for ASW. It allows investors to participate in low-risk opportunities to invest in projects built on the Cardano blockchain, backed by the Cardstarter insurance treasury. At AdaSwap, we have chosen the best launchpad for the strongest of bases. We are really excited to be working with cardstarter inorder to bring AdaSwap to the world.
To participate in the sale, users should head over to AdaSwap website for more details. AdaSwap is an ecosystem builder aiming to create the first decentralized exchange on the Cardano network. The AdaSwap DEX will make it easy to swap cryptocurrency tokens, create, buy and sell NFTs, launch new projects and stake funds in liquidity pools to earn fees on the Cardano blockchain. Now, multiple on-chain and technical indexes suggest ADALend aims to Miami already has a lot going for it - the sunshine, the beach, the Cuban coffee.
Now the city's mayor Francis Suarez wants to put it on the map for another reason: he wants to be the first to …. Now the city's mayor Francis Suarez wants to put it on the map for another reason: he wants to be the first to create a new way of raising money for the city - through a new cryptocurrency. MiamiCoin, an experiment he launched this year, could bring in so much revenue that there could be a future scenario where "Miamians would no longer need to pay municipal taxes," the Republican told the BBC.
That is one aspiration, and beyond that, he hopes one day to be able to hand out MiamiCoin to every resident, as a kind of digital dividend. MiamiCoin is just one part of Mr Suarez's drive to establish Miami as a centre for cryptocurrency. That left us particularly vulnerable to Covid and I won't pass on the chance to change that.
But while Mr Suarez is first out of the blocks, he's not the only mayor in the race for crypto-capital of the US. Hot on his heels is the man about to take over next month as New York mayor, Eric Adams. Cryptocurrencies, depending who you ask, are either about to revolutionise the global economy, circumventing national governments' hold on finance, and putting power in the hands of ordinary citizens, or they are risky and unstable tools, that enable illegal activities, from ransomware to drug dealing.
A cryptocurrency is a digital product, created without the backing of any central bank or payment system, created or "mined" by computers running complex software programmes. Anyone willing to invest the time and money to set up the necessary computing equipment can mine, or even establish their own cryptocurrency. They can also be bought and sold, like investing in a commodity. The best known cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has attracted enormous attention, has been very volatile, and fortunes have been lost and made investing in it.
But many other cryptocurrencies have now been established in its wake. He has talked about city employees getting paid in cryptocurrency and wants lessons on cryptocurrency in New York schools.
Once he'd heard that Mr Suarez had asked to get his first paycheque in Bitcoin, the New Yorker requested the same for his own first three months' pay. NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries! Just wait! While some of the rivalry may simply be about sending out signals, both mayors are serious about establishing their city as a hub for cryptocurrency business.
In June, Mr Suarez hosted a Bitcoin conference in Miami that attracted around 12, enthusiasts including bankers, tech executives and crypto-entrepreneurs. The next one is already planned for April And embracing the idea of a city-based crypto-token, like MiamiCoin or NYCCoin, is another way to illustrate commitment to the sector. Anyone can mine MiamiCoin. When doing so, some of the proceeds of the mining go straight to the miner. The rest goes to a nonprofit initative that underpins the city tokens called CityCoins.
It's important to note, that MiamiCoin itself is not money, despite the name, caution Dara Tarkowski, a financial lawyer at Actuate Law in Chicago. None of the MiamiCoin already created has been translated into spending money for the city yet, although Mr Suarez says they are the process now of converting some it into dollars.
For now, other cities are watching to see how this experiment in digital fund-raising pans out. And opinion is divided.
Besides their volatility, cryptocurrencies come with plenty of other risks. They have long history of association with criminal activity from ransomware to drugs and there have been numerous cryptocurrency scams. Regulators are still trying to catch up with what rules to impose on what is still a nascent investment sector.
John Reed Stark, cybersecurity consultant with long years of experience at America's top financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission SEC , as well as in academia, thinks the crypto-mayors could be riding for a fall. He views cryptocurrencies as essentially an elaborate Ponzi scheme, "the ultimate hustle", based on its advocates ramping up interest in a succession of new hyped up projects.
A bank regulator or federal regulator will come along and hopefully intervene and say you cannot do this, you are facilitating criminal enterprises, and you are peddling products that have no intrinsic value," he said. The SEC is looking closely at cryptocurrency activities and there's good reason for that, said Mr Reed. In his view accepting cryptocurrency is "akin to trading in blood diamonds".
Across the political spectrum politicians have called for stricter regulation, from Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic senator to Donald Trump, the Republican former president. Mr Suarez said he recognised the risks, but said his administration "exhausted all avenues of due diligence". Some of them invest millions of dollars in real estate, others in bonds," said Ms Tarkowski.
The view of cryptocurrencies as something shadowy and criminal is outdated now that so many people are investing in the sector, she argued.
City mayors would be "foolish" not to look at any new sources of income, if it could help supplement their funds, Ms Tarkowski said. Strictly speaking, Bitcoin is for everyone. To this extent, Bitcoin is one of the fairest — perhaps the most fair — monetary networks today. But progressive, Bitcoin is not. Released into the wild during the height of the financial crisis, Bitcoin is an experiment with non-state money.
This interview is part of Culture Week. You can subscribe to get the full newsletter here. In recent months, a host of progressive-leaning pols and regs in the United States have raised their concerns about Bitcoin and crypto broadly.
Elizabeth Warren D-Mass. Bitcoiners have made sport out of responding to these erroneous and fatuous remarks — which, to be fair, also come from across the political aisle. There are more than a few Bitcoin superfans who lean progressive and try to make the case that the network ought to be a plank in democratic policy making. Often, their reasons are sound. The neutral Bitcoin network stands distinct from the traditional financial sector, littered as it is with a history of redlining, usury and unethical behavior.
If financial access is a progressive concern, then Bitcoin could play a role. And, to be sure, there are plenty of Democratic politicians who see hope in crypto. Antonio Torres D-N. But I think the attempt to rebrand Bitcoin as progressive muddies the waters. It supports the establishment of open, global markets that are hard to regulate by design. It puts the onus of ownership on individuals.
Progressives brought us the five-day workweek and other strong labor protections. Today, progressives are an ascendant political force. Their platform advocates for greater government spending to extend the welfare state, more attuned oversight on business and stronger consumer protections.
Some of the most successful podcasts and books align with this movement. As mentioned, there are many areas where Bitcoin aligns with progressive goals — especially anywhere where personal liberty and expression come into play. But I think fundamentally it stands in contradiction.
If anything, Bitcoin furthers the neoliberal agenda, which moved to turn over government resources to public-private partnerships or management by market actors beginning in the later half of the 20th century. In the first Bitcoin block ever mined, its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, encoded a headline about government bailouts of banks. A Bitcoin system would limit the power of governments to respond to crises, to provide for its citizens. There is nothing wrong with saying Bitcoin encodes libertarian ideals, found initial and ongoing support among anarcho-capitalists and is something of a Milton Friedman wet dream.
Just be honest. To some extent, I think progressive bitcoiners bend over backwards to rebrand the cryptocurrency to fit their chosen identities to prevent cognitive dissonance. If Bitcoin solved the climate crisis, it would be through successful, freer markets — not progressive planning.
If Bitcoin prevents war by diminishing the power of the state, it will also dismantle the progressive welfare state.
I like Bitcoin because it protects and furthers liberal ideals of open and fair access in the digital age, but I admit how deeply regressive and reactionary the system also is.
Bitcoin should be celebrated, but as it actual exists. That could have resonance for political identities. If progressives want Bitcoin to be a political cause, they should consider voting for a different party.

The project has adopted a deflationary tokenomic model to ensure network sustainability. Play Now! The simulation found a divergence from market standards which was affecting investor trust. Cryptocurrency tokens that have a permanently limited supply, such as Bitcoin, are deflationary by nature. This ensures the token will never be affected by inflation, which is something that plagues all fiat currencies that are repetitively minted by their issuing governments.
The new tokenomics for Archethic ensures a controlled average annual inflation rate of At this point, no more tokens will be made available. Network Funding Adoption Rewards Dynamic Miner Reward 3. This pool helps the network through the bootstrap phase leading to equilibrium and deflation.
Gamification would be at the heart of achieving both the objectives. Foundation 2. The Archethic blockchain is highly scalable and especially suited for use in industries like communications, marketplaces, retail, that require scale, where most other blockchains struggle to find actual use cases.
The team claims it is capable of handling the current mining power of the Bitcoin network while consuming 3. The blockchain also enables streamlined biometric Decentralized ID DID smart contracts authenticated by fingerprint recognition, another key strength they plan to implement in industry use cases.
A smart contract is a contract with preset terms programmed to self-execute when run — Archethic has user identification smart contracts hard-coded into it. The token economics designed now will maintain the fine balance between inflation, equilibrium and deflation.
There are many other reasons that Archethic is an ideal blockchain for real-world use. In addition to being the fastest, most secure and most environmentally-friendly blockchain, Archethic is also very programmer-friendly, cheap to use and ideal for use in NFT, communication, identity verification and other common applications. They are based on the concept of Unspent Transaction Output UTXO , an abstraction of cryptocurrency remaining after each transaction, which ensures high accountability.
Transaction fees are also guaranteed to remain low, priced at around 0. For NFT marketplaces built on Archethic, management of royalty payments, access and exploitation rights is natively integrated. As the blockchain has been specifically built from the ground up to accommodate modern use cases, it is able to make every related process much smoother than other blockchains.
