Unleashing Wealth Effect: HTX's Dive into AI, BRC20, MEME, New Public Chains, and More Emerging Sectors in the Crypto Space

HTX

As 2023 draws to a close, the cryptocurrency market exhibits a robust upward trend, navigating through the early-year volatility and fueled by the market sentiment regarding the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF by the SEC at year-end. Moreover, over the course of the year, key players in sector rotation—such as AI, BRC20, MEME, and emerging public chain sectors—have adeptly filled market gaps. HTX serves as a significant contributor to market liquidity. It has played a crucial role in fostering the wealth effect across the four mainstream sectors in the crypto space. Among the top-performing 58 cryptocurrencies, $PEPE, listed by HTX, has created a legend, achieving an extraordinary nearly 2,000-fold increase. In the new public chain sector, where narratives unfold with each bull-bear cycle, HTX selected SUI and SEI among others, enabling its users to gain remarkable asset growth of 206 times and 178 times respectively. Riding the New Wave of the Crypto Sphere: Unlocking Wealth Opportunities at Every Turn Let's begin with the coin PEPE. In general, MEME tokens performed well throughout 2023. The MEME sector represents a fusion of entertainment and value, often imbued with a robust cultural and community flavor. The best MEME tokens, such as PEPE, don't merely unite popular culture with digital currency, they emerge as a dynamic force reshaping the cryptocurrency market, leading this unique market segment. In this trend, even some crypto veterans who consider Bitcoin as "digital gold" find themselves reevaluating assets with a "MEME nature". Even ORDI, essentially a MEME token, proves elusive when it comes to defining its specific utility, yet its intrinsic allure endures. Simply put, the imagination space is always the best support for the price of MEME tokens. In addition, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tokens emerging in the current cryptocurrency market, HTX promptly listed WLD (WorldCoin) on its platform, providing holders with an extraordinary return of 54 times. Furthermore, in the evergreen BRC20 sector, HTX is the first mainstream exchange to get BRC20 tokens listed. ORDI, for example, has delivered impressive performance, achieving a growth of 53 times. HTX has always kept a close eye on the cutting-edge technology within the industry. The introduction of AI has brought innovative thinking and business models to the cryptocurrency market. In addition to WLD, HTX also listed ChainGPT (CGPT), a representative asset in the AI+Crypto sector, right from the outset. As an AI-powered token launched on the BNB Chain, CGPT is a unique asset that combines AI algorithms and question-answering capabilities with blockchain technology. Despite being issued on the BNB Chain, HTX embraced CGPT warmly, emphasizing its ongoing dedication to discovering high-quality assets. Anyway, the wealth myth recognizes no distinctions between camps. In 2023, HTX effectively covered the entire spectrum of the industry in terms of asset listings. Reflecting on HTX's new listings in 2023, one can observe that the platform has been at the forefront, actively seeking and promoting new assets. Consistently, within each hot trend in the crypto sphere, some assets newly listed on HTX showcase robust performance. By fully exploring the potential of the cryptocurrency market, HTX's new token listings in 2023 offer investors a genuine first-mover advantage. Through a process of rigorous screening and in-depth market research, HTX carefully selects and promotes new tokens with huge growth potential. This initiative not only provides a gateway for investors choosing the platform to comprehend and engage in the emerging digital currency market but also promotes the development and prosperity of the entire crypto economic ecosystem. HTX, with its steadfast commitment and formidable capabilities, proves its crucial position as a major force in the industry. Embracing Web 3.0 Trends in the Battle for Emerging Sectors within Crypto Space In the past, the crypto market was mainly seen as a place for creating wealth. However, with the ongoing evolution of blockchain technology, it has increasingly intertwined with diverse industries. The fusion of AI technology and cryptocurrency, for instance, has given rise to novel collaboration models. Additionally, Bitcoin has garnered sustained industry support, not only as an investment but also in rejuvenating traditional assets. The advent of MEME tokens and BRC20 tokens has introduced fresh application scenarios for Bitcoin, consequently augmenting its overall value. AI-Crypto Fusion: A Leading Bullish Narrative in the Crypto Sphere The crypto market resembles an unrestricted Nasdaq exchange for AI, where data and computing power symbolize market sentiment and pricing, reflecting the prospective value of AI in this space. Presently, the convergence trend between AI and cryptocurrency is progressing at an unprecedented pace. According to CoinMarketCap data, the total market capitalization of the global cryptocurrency market has surpassed $2 trillion. Simultaneously, the scale of the global artificial intelligence market is experiencing rapid growth, projected to reach nearly $600 billion by 2025. In this environment, "AI + Crypto" is not only a conceptual combination but also an innovation at the practical application level. With a keen eye on the AI landscape, HTX has listed AI-related digital assets in 2023, namely, WLD, CGPT, and PAAL. ● AI + Data: Taking WLD as an example, its most significant innovation lies in the integration of ZKML (Zero Knowledge Proof Machine Learning) and Proof of Personhood. This creates a genuinely privacy-protected, global, blockchain-based data platform for mankind, fostering the collective sharing of AI's immense productivity. ● AI + Algorithm: Taking CGPT as an example, it seamlessly incorporates AI algorithms and question-answering capabilities into the blockchain. ● AI + Computing Power: Taking PAAL as an example, it delves into the core of machine learning (ML) technology, emphasizing an understanding of human needs that goes beyond mere competition between models and computing power. HTX's newly listed assets have covered the more refined segments of the AI sector, revealing HTX's deep understanding of the evolving trends in AI technology. Looking ahead, as AI becomes a symbol of advanced productivity permeating every facet of human society, the narrative of AI-Crypto fusion is expected to unfold more surprises within the crypto space. BRC-20 Tokens Unleashing the "Inscription Summer" and Sparking a New Era of Boom for Bitcoin BRC20 is approximately equivalent to the ERC20 standard on Ethereum. The introduction of BRC20, ORC, and DRC unlocks many new possibilities for Bitcoin and its forks. Bitcoin can now perform additional functions beyond its traditional transfer and block confirmation. Despite market volatility, Bitcoin's value and scope of application have continued to expand in the long term after the "Inscription Summer". Among them, the most striking is the miners' great victory. Since its introduction to the Bitcoin network in February 2023, the Bitcoin inscription function has consumed a considerable amount of block space. The inscription function allows for more transactions to be included in a block. The size and number of transactions in the Bitcoin mempool have significantly increased since the inscription function was introduced. The function of inscriptions in the Bitcoin network can be likened to packing materials in a box. Typically, they don't replace high-value crypto transfers but instead utilize any available block space not occupied by crypto transactions. The hashrate of the Bitcoin network, a measure of computing power, has surged by 50% since the introduction of the inscription function in February 2023. The upcoming Bitcoin halving cycle is anticipated to take place in 2024. During the halving, the reward for mining a new block will be halved, diminishing expected returns for miners. In response, miners might find a stronger incentive to expand the number of tokens within the BRC20 ecosystem. ORDI, the first BRC-20 token created on the Bitcoin blockchain, has already been listed on HTX. Following a brief retracement, ORDI is gaining popularity, firmly establishing itself as the leading BRC20 token. Concurrently, HTX has listed SATS and RATS, providing users seeking potential BRC20 tokens with a more secure alternative off-chain. Overall, the introduction of the inscription function in the Bitcoin blockchain has undeniably had a profound impact on transaction patterns, miner economics, and network status. With the ongoing evolution of the Bitcoin network and the expanding use of the inscription function, these changes are expected to endure, giving rise to new trends. MEME Coins Capture Retail Investors' Interest, While New Public Chains Unveil Significant Growth Potential HTX has dedicated continuous efforts to both the MEME sector and the new public chains. As a steadfast supporter of the MEME sector, HTX listed many popular MEME tokens in 2023, including VOLT, PEPE, AIGOGE, MONG, WSM, and MEME. Notably, PEPE saw a remarkable surge, boasting an astounding 1999-fold increase. MEME is a unique breed in the crypto world, a financial product based on emotions. If options are derivatives of spot, then the MEMEs of each stage are the inscriptions of the current history, representing the unique memories of an era. They continue to evolve as cultural cycles replicate, reproduce, and propagate. The existence of MEME coins is more like a cultural expression, a recognition by retail investors of the culture of a specific community. Dogecoin (DOGE) is one of the most famous MEME tokens. It was launched in 2013 with the Shiba Inu as its mascot and quickly became a cultural icon of the cryptocurrency world. This year, PepeCoin is undoubtedly the successor to the MEME legend. It uses Pepe the Frog as its image and has attracted a group of passionate followers of the Sad Pepe. HTX's data reveals its huge support for the MEME sector in 2023, largely aligning with its "user-first" strategy. Meanwhile, HTX's focus on the public chain sector is also evident with the listing of assets such as FLR, ARB, SUI, SEI, TON, and CBK. Additionally, the listing of BONK on Solana underscores its broad vision in the public chain domain. Old public chains, L2, and new public chains still hold potential value. In addition to Ethereum, public chains such as Polkadot, Cosmos, Solana, NEAR, and Avalanche have demonstrated their diversity with their unique technological innovations. The emergence of Ethereum's Layer-2 solutions, particularly the rise of Arbitrum Rollup and Optimistic Rollup, has garnered significant market attention for new public chains like Aptos and Sui, even in their early stages of inception. From a long-term perspective, the exploration and advancement of new public chain technologies are crucial, as they have the potential to bring innovation to the entire blockchain ecosystem in specific scenarios. HTX encourages innovation and has always been at the forefront of the industry in searching for innovative projects. It's noteworthy that HTX has also listed WSTUSDT, a token in the RWA sector. Looking ahead, we anticipate that HTX will make more tokens in the RWA sector available for purchase in the future. Exploring New Crypto Sectors: HTX Brings Wealth Growth Opportunities for Users HTX's core competency lies in the discovery and listing of new assets. The four major sectors discussed in this article serve as mere examples. At present, HTX has introduced 58 potential coins and high-quality assets spanning different sectors in 2023. HTX's impressive performance in listing new assets in 2023 has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to advancing the development of the crypto industry. The market is gradually recovering, with a bull run on the horizon. HTX is not resting on its laurels. Instead, it continues to track the pulse of the market and explore opportunities by dedicating itself to the exploration of new sectors and tokens. By improving market awareness and deepening industrial layout, HTX aims to provide users with a more diverse range of asset choices and investment opportunities.

Milestone Year for Pocono Organics

Pocono Organics

Pocono Organics, one of the largest Regenerative Organic Certified ® (ROC) vegetable farms in North America, continued to earn notable achievements throughout 2023 creating awareness for the Regenerative Organic industry by innovative product development as well as being a travel destination for those looking for unique agri-tourism opportunities. Recognized as a Global Center for Research, Education, and Innovation, Pocono Organics achieved monumental Regenerative Organic Certified ® Silver status in December through its enhanced Regenerative Organic practices. “We are extremely proud to have reached ROC Silver status, said Ashley Walsh, President and Founder of Pocono Organics. “Our farm team worked very hard to increase our crop rotations and add additional Regenerative Organic farming practices such as creating a pollinator path, integrating compost management and maintaining grassed waterways and retention ponds on the farm. We also welcomed chickens as our first livestock to the farm.” “Since Pocono Organics reached Bronze level certification as producers of the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified ® hemp, we have been inspired by the continued evolution of their exemplary commitments to Regenerative Organic farming,” said Elizabeth Whitlow, Executive Director of the Regenerative Organic Alliance. “Their rapid ascent to Silver level certification is applauded and well deserved. It shows the depth of their dedication to farming like the world depends on it!” Pocono Organics also earned NEXTY Award Finalist honors from New Hope Network in the Best New Innovation Experience category September 21 st at the 2023 Expo East in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the farm’s hemp microgreen powder. “It was an honor to join such an amazing collection of NEXTY Award Finalists and I am so proud of our team for all of their work that brought this from idea to reality,” said Ashley Walsh, President and Founder of Pocono Organics. “Microgreens are incredibly nutrient dense as the University of Maryland did a study that found microgreens can have up to 40-times the nutritional value as their mature counterparts. This soil-based crop is also environmentally sound to produce taking seven to 14 days to grow and requiring a fraction of the water and labor efforts to grow. What’s more, microgreens are an extremely versatile nutrient dense source in powdered form, making it easy to incorporate into soups, smoothies, baked goods, sauces as well as other beverages.” The farm also succeeded in being awarded the USDA Value Added Producer Grant tosupport its vertical integration strategy for the microgreens powder products through the purchase of processing and packaging equipment. Walsh and her team have been focused on scaling up microgreen production for a growing list of interested natural food retailers as well as companies looking to use the microgreens as a source ingredient for existing or new products. “The USDA grant was a great opportunity for us to apply for funds that would truly help us acquire the equipment needed to become vertically integrated and offer more year round employment opportunities,” Walsh said. Adding, “This will greatly reduce our carbon footprint and expand our sustainability efforts as we to take our product from seed to market in a way that will allow us to grow with the interest we are seeing from companies in the natural food market.” Finishing out the progressive year, the 2023 Regenerative Travel Impact Awards September 20 th in New York recognized the 380-acre agritourism farm as a finalist in its Food & Agriculture category. The short-list of leaders included were recognized for pioneering travel destination efforts to revolutionize our eating habits and redefine how society sources and cultivates its food. Beyond growing nutrient-dense ROC vegetables, Pocono Organics includes an organic market and scratch kitchen led by Executive Chef, Lindsay McClain, who is also a Food Network Chopped Champion. Chef Lindsay’s zero-waste approach and creativeness in her Food Innovation Lab has led the farm’s café to put its mark on farm-to-table meals. Pocono Organics also leverages its sister-company, The Village at Pocono, as an agrotourism destination for guests looking for unique experiences and locations that fuse agriculture and food. The 56-room boutique resort includes rooms with full kitchens that can utilize Pocono Organics’ farm-to-room service where guests can order fresh produce in advance and have their refrigerators stocked upon their arrival. “We were honored to be recognized by Regenerative Travel,” Walsh said. “We want to bring people into conversations and experiences where they can learn about the power of food for human health and how regenerative organic agricultural practices can help heal our earth. There is a direct tie between soil health and human health and the clock is ticking for both planet and people. That is why we are so passionate about this type of farming using these farming methods and will continue to be a resource for people who want to be or want to learn how to be part of the solution.” About Pocono Organics Pocono Organics is a health and wellness organization with a mission to inspire people and heal the earth. The Global Center for Research, Education, and Innovation is one of the largest Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) vegetable farms in North America and grows the world’s first ROC hemp.

Crushon

The concept of predicting one's death has always seemed like a pursuit straight out of science fiction. Yet, in today's world of rapid technological advancement, the AI Death Calculator emerges as a startling reality.

Additionally, the ethical implications of such a tool cannot be overstressed; the potential for misuse is a concern that developers and ethicists are taking seriously.

As a frontrunner in the field, it offers a sophisticated analysis that sets a benchmark for accuracy and reliability. Although there are numerous free alternatives that might provide a glimpse into your mortality, they often lack the comprehensive data model that Crushon employs. When using any of these tools, it's vital to do so with the knowledge that they are not infallible and should be considered as part of a broader approach to understanding your health and longevity. AI Death Calculator: A Tool for the Future? The AI Death Calculator is a harbinger of future technologies that will integrate AI into our everyday health decisions. As the technology evolves and becomes more accessible, it is likely that more people will turn to AI for insights into their health and longevity. AI Death Calculator: What Does the Future Hold? As AI technology progresses, the accuracy and capabilities of tools like the AI Death Calculator will only improve.

Navigating Burnout as a Black Woman, and the Path to Recovery With Jolinda Johnson

Prodigy Press Wire

The foundation of stress among marginalized communities is multi-faceted, encompassing economic factors, education, discrimination, and limited opportunities for advancement. For Black women, however, the burden is intensified by the impact of racism, sexism, and possibly heterosexism. These lead to disparities that are supported both statistically and anecdotally. According to one study, by age 45, half of the Black women who participated had high-stress scores, while by age 64, more than 80% did. However, shame as well as the expectation that Black women are meant to be strong, independent, and constantly available for others, all decrease the likelihood that Black women will seek support. This is also compounded by the scarcity of Black mental health care providers and services. Jolinda Johnson, a forty-one-year-old Black woman and certified Life and Holistic Health Coach emphasizes the need for a shift in perspective. "Stress is inevitable, but losing your health to the effects of chronic stress and burnout is optional. What so many of us are missing is the right kind of support." Burnout, often associated with white corporate employees, is a shared experience cutting across professions for women of color. Stemming from years of striving for excellence while having to navigate systems intentionally designed to hold them back, Black women are at a higher risk for heart disease, depression, anxiety, and other chronic conditions. While systemic change is needed, both on the governmental and organizational levels, individual choices that support physical and mental health can still create positive change. According to Johnson, as women, we are taught to judge ourselves against an impossible standard but we never learn how to genuinely support our bodies and minds. The normalization of exhaustion, perpetuated by societal pressures and the need to constantly prove oneself, leaves Black women feeling depleted. In a survey by Every Level Leadership, 78% of Black women reported that they sometimes, rarely, or never have the ability to go home at the end of the workday with energy in reserve. The elusive concept of rest promises replenishment and renewal, but Black women, especially those with intersectional identities, struggle to find it. But burnout doesn't only happen as a result of having too many demands with little or no time to recover, it can also be a result of stress that comes from being constantly under-recognised and under-challenged. For others, it may be the consequence of not having clear roles and expectations, and having to guess accordingly. Furthermore, the damaging stereotype of the "angry Black woman" has far-reaching consequences in the workplace. Exclusion from career growth opportunities and emotional policing contribute to the exhaustion from everyday workplace stresses. Fear of being seen as hostile often silences Black women, preventing open communication about their struggles. Jolinda Johnson points out, "Burnout is a result of having to constantly prove your worth in a society that was never designed for you to feel worthy." To address burnout among women of color, Johnson has crafted a course that speaks specifically to their needs. Building a strong foundation by supporting your health in addition to reclaiming rest, rejecting perfectionism, and embracing self-compassion are the cornerstones of her work. In her words, "Understanding and addressing these factors are essential for managing and recovering from burnout." We may live in a world that glorifies hustle, but rest is a basic requirement for all, rather than a luxury for the privileged few. Reclaiming rest involves not only ensuring sufficient sleep but also establishing firm boundaries and prioritizing pleasure. Whether through hobbies, moments of tranquility, or simply indulging in activities that bring joy, these are all fundamental for getting out of survival mode, as per Johnson. To embark on the path of resilience, adequate nutrition, exercise, and sleep can not be forgotten. Nutrition serves as the fuel for both the body and mind, fostering vitality and mental clarity. Regular exercise enhances physical health while additionally acting as a powerful antidote for stress. Deep sleep is also critical for recovery, as not getting enough has been linked to everything from high blood pressure to irregular menstrual cycles, to hypothyroidism. According to Johnson, getting these steps right is essential when going from surviving to thriving. When it comes to burnout, self-care goes a long way, but collective care leads to even deeper healing. Reaching out for help and maintaining existing social networks are two ways to find strength in connection. Whether confiding in friends and family or seeking professional support, creating a robust support system is key. Understanding and addressing these factors will empower women with knowledge and tools to effectively manage and recover from burnout.
