An award-winning coach, writer and speaker, Lajeunesse brings Reigniting the Women’s Spirit to the U.S. for the first time at this Lotus Network event.

Ethereum Could Hit $14K in 2025 As per Standard Chartered, Ali Martinez Predicts Bitcoin Will Reach $72K; KangaMoon Price Surges

Kangamoon

In recent times, Ethereum (ETH) has been the talk of the town. According to a Standard Chartered prediction, it could reach an impressive $14,000 in 2025. Meanwhile, analyst Ali Martinez foresees Bitcoin (BTC) reaching $72,880. KangaMoon (KANG) is also making headlines as a meme coin in Stage 4 of its presale and analysts predict it will hit $1 in 2024. An Ethereum Price Prediction by Standard Chartered Recently, Ethereum (ETH) has been on the rise. As per CoinMarketCap data, the Ethereum price surged from $2,947 to $3,467 over the last 30 days. In that time, its market cap also rose from $354B to $416B. According to Standard Chartered, the Ethereum ETF approval may push its value to $8,000 in 2024 and $14,000 in 2025. In the next two years, Ethereum is expected to perform at or surpass Bitcoin. The Ethereum crypto also trades above its 100—and 200-day EMAs while boasting 25 green technical indicators. Thus, experts foresee ETH hitting $4,500 within Q2 of 2024. Ali Martinez with a Bullish Bitcoin Price Prediction Bitcoin (BTC) is another crypto that has been soaring recently. In fact, the Bitcoin price rose from $51,100 to $67,250 in the last month. During that period, its market cap increased from $1T to $1.31T. Analyst Ali Martinez predicts that Bitcoin may reach $72,880 soon. The technical analysis of the Bitcoin crypto also paints a bullish picture. For instance, BTC is now trading above its 100 and 200-day EMAs while having 26 technical indicators showing buy signals. For all these reasons, market analysts forecast Bitcoin to reach a value of $84,000 within Q3 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): On Pace To Hit $1 While Ethereum and Bitcoin dominate headlines, meme coins like KangaMoon (KANG) are also making waves. This rising presale star has already obtained over $3.4M and is projected to reach $4M before April ends. KangaMoon is preparing to release a play-to-earn (P2E) game that uses its native token, KANG. With KANG, players can buy in-game items and boost their characters’ abilities. This immediately sets KANG apart from 99% of meme coins, which have no utility. Because of this, KangaMoon could emerge as one of the best new meme tokens. What makes KangaMoon different is how they build community. Before its official launch, KangaMoon gives active members of its community free KANG coins through engagement on various social media platforms. In other words, if you share, like or comment on KangaMoon’s social media posts, you may win free KANG before its launch. Currently, in Stage 4 of its presale, KANG has a value of $0.014 - up 180% from its starting price of $0.005. According to experts, this meme coin could be worth around $1 in Q2 of 2024 as a Tier-1 CEX listing is coming..They also base this prediction on KangaMoon’s ties to the P2E games market which Yahoo Finance projects will reach $885M by 2028. Will KangaMoon Pump Faster Than Ethereum and Bitcoin? Currently, KangaMoon has a market cap of $14M. With such a low market cap, KANG has a good chance of faster and more notable growth than Ethereum and Bitcoin. Because of this, KANG could become the next member of the meme coin titans. If interested in this presale, follow the links below and obtain a 10% bonus on each purchase. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

Shareholder Group and Gender Ideology Opponent to Press Disney on Discrimination at Company’s Annual Meeting

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center, an investor in The Walt Disney Company, and healthcare accountability group Do No Harm, will present a shareholder proposal at the iconic media and entertainment corporation’s annual meeting on April 3. The measure asks the company to investigate its discriminatory pay and benefits policies – specifically addressing where employees affected by gender-switching advocacy have been psychologically or medically harmed, without providing remedial care – and reporting to shareholders why such compensation gaps exist at an allegedly tolerant company. Speaking at the Disney meeting in support of the proposal will be Chloe Cole, patient advocate for Do No Harm, who has testified before legislative bodies nationwide in opposition to gender ideology and its destructive health consequences. Ms. Cole will address the company’s board of directors, including beleaguered CEO Robert Iger, and tell her story about her difficulties in finding medical care and insurance coverage in her efforts to “de-transition,” after trying earlier in her life to switch from the biological sex she was born with. Ahead of the Disney meeting, NLPC released a one-minute video to highlight the shareholder proposal. The corporate and government watchdog also filed a white paper with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month to more fully explain the necessity for the company to investigate its discriminatory policies. “Disney has been so proud about its 100-percent score on the Corporate Equality Index, designed by the pro-LGBTQIA+ Human Rights Campaign, which requires companies to cover sex change treatments in their health insurance offerings,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “Now we call upon Mr. Iger to lead the way for Corporate America to provide equal care for those who have suffered physical harm as a result, and who want bodily restoration. Besides the damage they have suffered, they are also discriminated against.” As NLPC points out in its shareholder proposal, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission considers failure to provide equivalent pay and benefits based on categories including “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” as discriminatory. Even the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed with NLPC that de-transitioning individuals fit under such classifications when considering unfairness in corporate compensation practices. In its opposition statement (p. 104 at link) to the proposal, Disney alleges that NLPC is just trying to “generate attention” with a “narrow focus…to advance a limited agenda.” “Disney acts as if people like me don’t exist,” said Chloe Cole. “I intend to make sure the board and Mr. Iger hear that the company’s irrational gender ideology policies are actually destructive, and that I am a victim of policies like it. De-transitioners like me are not going away. With the numbers of LGBTQIA+ workers at the company who have sought ill-advised sex changes, you can bet that litigation over deception, and discriminatory benefits policies, won’t be far behind.” You can read NLPC’s shareholder proposal at its website.
