News ReleaseThe 56th California International Antiquarian Book Fair returns to San Francisco February 9-11, 2024
Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America
The 56th CA International Antiquarian Book Fair is making its in-person return to San Francisco next month. The fair, sponsored by the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA), takes place February 9-11, 2024, at Pier 27 (cruise ship terminal). Widely recognized as one of the world's largest exhibitions of antiquarian books for sale, more than 100 exhibitors from around the world will present rare books, maps, illustrations, historical documents, and ephemera on a vast array of subjects and genres. The fair boasts offerings in every conceivable genre including the first-ever catalog on the history of artificial intelligence (AI) from Novato book dealer and ABAA member Jeremy Norman. Part of this timely collection is an extremely rare, first edition pamphlet published in 1832 by Russian statistician and inventor Semyon Korsakov on what is believed to be one of the first machine-learning devices. Korsakov was a pioneer in the concept of “mechanized thought,” or artificial intelligence. The nearly 200-year-old AI print ephemera will be on exhibit and offered at the purchase price of $35,000. The fair’s specialties encompass art, science, medicine, literature, history, gastronomy, fashion, first editions, Americana, philosophy, children’s books and much more. As highlighted in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, rare books and other objects have increasingly captured the attention of young collectors seeking one-of-a-kind offerings at more accessible price points. Book fair prices range from $100 to millions. This year, the fair welcomes international exhibitors from 9 different countries including the UK, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany and The Netherlands. An impressive number of US exhibitors also highlight the wealth of material available stateside. Exhibitors will present a vast treasure trove of items: rare books, maps, manuscripts, fine bindings, illustrations, historical documents, prints and print ephemera. One of the rare maps up for purchase is Augustus Chevalier's stunning large-scale 1911 map of San Francisco, the premier map of the city following the San Francisco Earthquake and one of the most impressive and beautiful urban plans in the history of American mapmaking. The purchase price is $45,000 from S.F. Bay Area-based ABAA dealer, Neatline Antique Maps. Another extraordinary find is a piece of LGBTQ+ science fiction history discovered at an estate sale in Oakland, California – the original cover art for Ursula K. Le Guin’s groundbreaking “The Left Hand of Darkness.” The novel was one of the first examinations of androgyny in science fiction and explored the effect of sex and gender on society. Mark Funke, Novato book dealer and ABAA member, will exhibit the illustration art at the San Francisco fair. The purchase price is $20,000. “This is one of the most important events in the country for rare book enthusiasts, and we are thrilled to return to San Francisco after enjoying nearly a decade of success in Oakland,” says Julie Roper, Director of the 56th California International Antiquarian Book Fair. “Post-pandemic, we are seeing resurgent demand for in-person fairs, where a global community of the top dealers offers the most sought-after collections of books, maps, illustrations, and ephemera.

News ReleasePolygon, Chainlink Experiences Upsurge, Everlodge Takes Centre stage with Revolutionary Property Marketplace
Everlodge
The crypto market has been experiencing a two-sided reaction in the past week, with some cryptocurrencies bearing the brunt of the impact. Notably, top crypto coins Polygon and Chainlink saw a sharp decline in their price movement recently. However, while they continued to battle to break through the resistance zone, both coins were able to register moderate increases in the last 48 hours. Everlodge, a fresh rising star, on the other hand, is stealing the spotlight with its innovative property marketplace. Chainlink (LINK) Picks Up After Major Decline Barely 48 hours after its price fell to $13.5 from its yearly high of about $16.2, Chainlink (LINK) is poised to break through the resistance zone and has subsequently risen by nearly 3% in value to currently sit around $14.6. Although the drastic decline was not unexpected, the current rebound in Chainlink price has proved that the price retracement is just temporary. As a result, Chainlink price is projected to retain its fresh pace and re-approach its prior high of $16.2, securing itself a position among the top crypto coins to consider investing in.. Polygon (MATIC) Faces Similar Fate As Chainlink; Can It Maintain Ongoing Rebound? Unlike Chainlink, which has had a smooth year with more than 150% price increase, Polygon (MATIC) has not had an amazing year. However, MATIC token recently experienced a tremendous climb to reach the $1 mark, which was followed by a severe drop below $0.8 levels. Given that the cryptocurrency has not shown any outstanding upward pattern in the last year, it begs the question of whether it will ever reach the $1 level again any time soon. Everlodge Is Charting a New Path for Real Estate Enthusiasts Everlodge is charting a new course in the crypto ecosystem with its revolutionary property marketplace. The decentralized network aims to make real estate accessible to the masses through fractional ownership. Essentially by combining fractional vacation home ownership, with timeshare and NFT technology, Everlodge makes it possible for users to co-own luxurious vacation homes for a fraction of its actual worth. To achieve this, Everlodge makes use of a tokenization process that allows property owners to convert real estate properties into a single NFT item that’s sold in fractions. As such, real estate enthusiasts can purchase a fraction or multiple fractions of this NFT and subsequently co-own a property of choice alongside other participants. Besides the dedicated marketplace, Everlodge’s ecosystem also consists of other thrilling features including a launchpad that allows developers to raise capital within the community for new and upcoming developments. There is also a reward club where members can earn free nightly stays across all listed properties, as well as a lending feature that allows members to take loans using their fractional property as collateral. At the center of its economy is the $ELDG token which doubles as both an utility and governance token. ELDG provides a plethora of benefits, including discounted rates on property acquisitions. The native token also offers token holders additional perks such as complimentary accommodations, and exclusive access to participate in contests, as well as the opportunity to stake tokens for consistent monthly interest. While the project has garnered so much attention due to its innovative marketplace, there has been a growing interest in its ongoing stage 9 token presale. As of the time of writing, the ELDG token is selling for $0.029, up from $0.01 which marks its initial price offering. Given its unique utility and the growing enthusiasm around the presale, Everlodge is well-positioned for exponential growth, making it an ideal option for investors seeking the best new crypto to invest in. For more information about the ongoing Everlodge (ELDG) Presale, please visit their website. 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. Profits may be subject to capital gains or other taxes applicable in your jurisdiction. Contact Details Brett admin@everlodge.io Company Website https://everlodge.io/

News ReleaseLatest Update: Rebel Satoshi Breaks $1 Million in Funding – The Next Big Meme Coin?
RoundHouse Media
The crypto market has performed well in 2023, with most top crypto coins surging significantly. This stellar performance has attracted investors to the market. But which is the best cryptocurrency to buy now? Experts recommend investing in Rebel Satoshi ($RBLZ), an upcoming meme coin that has surged 100% during its presale. Why do experts recommend Rebel Satoshi as the best investment in 2024? Continue reading to find out! What Is Rebel Satoshi, and Why Are Experts Praising It? Rebel Satoshi is a revolutionary meme coin that follows in the footsteps of Satoshi Nakamoto and Guy Fawkes. Through this approach, Rebel Satoshi aims to defy the oppressive rules centralized crypto entities impose on the little guys. To achieve this bold mission, Rebel Satoshi seeks to unite the silent majority. In doing so, Rebel Satoshi believes it can raise a $100 million market cap for its governance and membership token, dubbed $RBLZ. However, this is easier said than done. As such, Rebel Satoshi plans to create a robust ecosystem that will effortlessly attract and maintain investors. Specifically, Rebel Satoshi aims to build an ecosystem that comprises features like an interactive P2E game, a staking program, and an NFT marketplace for trading the 9,999 collectibles in the Rebel NFT Vault. Notably, $RBLZ will be at the center of this ecosystem, seeing as it will offer investors access to these features. On top of this, $RBLZ boasts a rich tokenomics structure. To be specific, $RBLZ has a supply of 250 million coins and a deflationary mechanism to burn tokens and prevent inflation. This explains why experts recommend $RBLZ as the best crypto to invest in now! It is worth pointing out that SourceHat, formerly Solidity Finance, completed Rebel Satoshi ’s audit to ensure everything was in order. What Is Rebel Satoshi’s Future Price Outlook? By December, Rebel Satoshi was proceeding with Citizens Round 3 of its ongoing public sale. During this round, investors can use Bitcoin (BTC) and 50 other supported cryptos to buy $RBLZ at $0.025. This price means $RBLZ has generated a 100% ROI for Early Bird Round investors that purchase it at $0.010. It is also worth noting that Rebels Round 1 investors that bought $RBLZ at $0.013 have realized a 53.85% ROI. On the other hand, Warriors Round 2 investors that purchased $RBLZ at $0.018 have seen the value of their $RBLZ holdings increase by 11.11%. Notably, Citizens Round 3 investors are set to get a 25% ROI as $RBLZ has climbed to its listing price of $0.025. Moreover, experts predict that $RBLZ will soar astronomically when it gets listed on top DEXs after Rebel Satoshi completes its public presale in February. This forecast makes $RBLZ one of the best cryptos to invest in!

News ReleaseBreaking News: Shiba Inu (SHIB) Eyes Dramatic Changes in 2024, 'RWA' Crypto Everlodge Mass Adoption Continues
Everlodge
Shiba Inu continues to shock the DeFi market in 2024. What was once labeled as just another memecoin is now becoming one of DeFi’s most dominant projects, having formed several new partnerships over the last year. Now, Shiba Inu looks to make dramatic changes in 2024. Meanwhile, Everlodge looks to disrupt the $280 trillion global real estate market with its new holiday property model. Here’s why Shiba Inu and Everlodge could gain mass adoption in 2024. Shiba Inu Ecosystem Thrives After Cryptic X Posts Shiba Inu is becoming one of the most dominant DeFi projects. In 2023 the memecoin launched Shibarium and hit a milestone of 100 million transactions on the platform in just a few months. Shortly after Shibarium’s launch, Shiba Inu launched its own dedicated magazine, and in December, formed a new partnership with D3 Global. This new partnership will let Shiba Inu generate.shib domains, and could also help speed up the adoption of SHIB tokens. If Shiba Inu tokens are implemented for transactions on.shib domains, it could be a matter of time until SHIB gains mainstream adoption. Since these milestones, Shiba Inu has continued to thrive. On January 2nd, Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama posted a handshake emoji on X. This left investors speculating what new development could be in place. The post was shortly followed by Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, who posted “$BONE” next to a handshake emoji. These cryptic posts created mass hype throughout the Shiba Inu ecosystem, with investors now eagerly awaiting a new announcement. Since the posts, Shiba Inu’s daily trading volume has increased by 89%, and SHIB burn rates are up by 310%. These figures suggest that investors are anticipating an additional price surge over the next few weeks, which has put SHIB tokens in extremely high demand. Everlodge Adoption Surges After Stage 8 Sells Out The excitement surrounding Everlodge continues to build after stage eight of its presale sold out. Following this milestone, Everlodge hit a new all-time high of $0.029 and 12% of the stage nine supply has already sold out. Everlodge looks to disrupt one of the world's largest markets with its hybrid property co-ownership model. This model empowers its community and allows investors to co-own multi-million dollar vacation homes around the world. The best part? Investors can get involved for as little as $100. The Everlodge marketplace will showcase properties worldwide and will include holiday homes, luxury villas and even hotels, as Everlodge will be partnering with some of the world's largest hotel chains. Investors looking to buy start by searching for properties based on their preferences. Once they find a property they like, they can buy an NFT that represents ownership. Based on how much they own, they will then generate a passive income. This solution streamlines traditional holiday home ownership, removing unnecessary red tape and complexities. But this is far from all Everlodge offers. Investors will also be able to support new property developments and earn free stays at properties as part of Everlodge’s Members Club. Everlodge itself has been fully audited by an independent auditing firm, and its team has passed KYC checks to guarantee investor safety. With so much potential, experts believe that Everlodge has a strong foundation to thrive in 2024. Price estimates range from 10x to 30x over the next year, which makes ELDG an extremely promising investment. 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.
