Traveling on a Budget in 2023

YourUpdateTV

While prices for flights, hotels and rental cars are all up across the board, demand for travel isn’t slowing. A recent survey from pay over time provider, Affirm, revealed that despite record-high costs, the average person plans to take three trips this year and spend over $3,000 on travel. Furthermore, 3 in 4 of Millennial and Gen-Z respondents plan to take up to 6 trips this year, with over half planning to spend up to $5,000 on travel. Traveling on a budget can help ensure that people are spending responsibly while also providing ways to make their money go further. Affirm SVP and Financial Health Expert, Katrina Holt, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour, offering her top tips for financially-conscious travelers in 2023: Don’t forget to set a budget. The recent Affirm survey found that nearly 1 in 5 plan to travel this year without setting a budget beforehand, which can easily lead to overspending. When creating a budget, be sure to consider expenses across accommodation, meals, transportation and shopping. Use a transparent, flexible pay over time option like Affirm to spread out your costs and stick to your budget. By selecting Affirm at checkout, approved travelers can split travel costs into biweekly or monthly payments. Travelers will see the total cost of their purchase and will never pay more than they agree to upfront Affirm does not charge late or hidden fees. Watch out for gimmicks that come with travel credit cards. Early sign up bonuses might be enticing, but can easily lead to overspending as you try to hit the minimum. 0% APR credit card promotions can come with deferred interest and surprise you with balloon payments down the line.

Colorado pet owners say yes, they want access to mid-level veterinary professionals and telehealth

Vet Care Coalition

Responding to increasing costs and unavailability due to the state’s significant veterinary workforce shortage, four out of five Colorado pet owners say they would not hesitate to have their animal seen by a newly-created mid-level veterinary professional associate, similar in function and oversight to a physician assistant (PA). These are among the findings of an independent survey of Colorado pet owners announced by the Vet Care Coalition (VetCareCoalition.com), an expanding alliance of animal welfare organizations, veterinarians and technicians, pet owners, ranchers and other experts working to establish workable solutions to the state’s costly veterinary workforce shortage. The Vet Care Coalition is pursuing legislation in Colorado’s statehouse to achieve three common-sense initiatives toward addressing the state’s veterinary shortage: 1. Establishing a path for creation of a mid-level veterinary professional associate (VPA), similar to a physician assistant (PA) in human medicine. A VPA will be a master’s degree-level professional working under the supervision of a veterinarian to provide care such as examining pets, diagnosing minor conditions, performing routine surgeries and leading healthcare teams. These professionals will generate practice revenue while increasing overall workforce capacity, helping to increase patient availability while lowering costs. 2. Codifying the availability of veterinary care through telehealth services, which are increasingly used in human medicine. More than half of the state’s pet owners surveyed said they would be comfortable using virtual veterinary care for their animals. 3. Expanding the role of registered veterinarian technician specialists (VTS), with additional training and credentialing. “Vet tech” specialists are often underutilized in veterinary practices because Colorado regulations unreasonably limit what they can legally do. Expanding the role of a VTS will increase veterinary care capacity across the state while helping encourage retention at a time when many are leaving the sector due to burn-out and lack of professional growth. Colorado’s veterinary shortage is well-documented In 2021, the U.S. Department of Agriculture identified 25 rural and urban Colorado counties as having “veterinary shortage situations” in food animal medicine – a situation that contributes to higher prices while putting food safety at risk. In addition, the Veterinary Care Accessibility Project (AccessToVetCare.org) gave Colorado a score of only 58 out of 100, noting that veterinary care is nearly inaccessible in much of the state. The shortage has had a negative impact on pet owners and their animals across the country – and could get much worse. A Mars Veterinary Health study found that without solutions put in place soon, the U.S. will have 15,000 fewer veterinarians than it needs by 2030, leaving some 75 million pets without any veterinary care at all. The Colorado survey, conducted in mid-January by Corona Insights research firm, asked 556 pet owners across the state how they have been impacted by the veterinary shortage and gauged their initial comfort level with being seen by a VPA or via telehealth services. The research found that high veterinary costs generate the greatest level of concern and dissatisfaction among pet owners, with almost 25 percent saying high costs made them decide against taking their animals in for necessary care over the last year. The U.S. Dept. of Labor Consumer Price Index shows that between 1997 and 2022, veterinarian services steadily rose at almost twice the rate of inflation. Through 2021 and 2022 alone, the nation’s veterinary shortage contributed to service prices increasing by more than 13 percent. More than a quarter of survey respondents also said they were significantly challenged in finding and making timely appointments with veterinarians in their area. Logical and urgent need for a mid-level veterinary professional “While the human medical profession has embraced physician assistants for more than 50 years, veterinary medicine inexplicably still has no such mid-level professional position,” said coalition spokesperson Dr. Apryl Steele, past president of the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and current CEO of the Dumb Friends League. “Animals will suffer until we fill this glaring need,” said Dr. Steele, “while Colorado’s veterinary workforce will continue to be severely overworked and understaffed.” The American Medical Association (AMA) officially recognized physician assistants in 1971, with the first PA certification tests implemented by the National Board of Medical Examiners two years later. “The VPA would not replace a veterinarian or a veterinary technician,” said Dr. Steele. “Rather, it will enhance a practice while providing credentialed veterinary technicians with a career path toward greater responsibility and compensation.” In Colorado’s USDA-identified veterinary shortage areas, VPAs will be allowed to work under indirect supervision to help increase access to care for food and fiber animals. “It’s important to understand that fully utilizing veterinary technicians and creating a mid-level veterinary PA are complementary options for solving Colorado’s veterinarian workforce shortage crisis,” said Dr. Steele. “We absolutely need both.” About the Vet Care Coalition The Vet Care Coalition is an expanding alliance that includes animal welfare organizations, veterinarians and technicians, pet owners, ranchers and other experts with a common goal to find workable solutions to the state’s costly veterinary workforce shortage. Organizational coalition members supporting the legislation include the Animal Welfare Association of Colorado (AWAC), Colorado Voters for Animals, the Dumb Friends League (DFL), Thrive Pet Healthcare, Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR), Roice-Hurst Humane Society, Virtual Veterinary Care Association, Animal Policy Group, WellHaven Pet Health, Larimer Humane Society, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and Mars Petcare. Individual supporters include four former presidents of the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA), as well as a growing number of veterinarians, practice owners and animal welfare advocates across the nation.

Sites Like Chumba Casino - Best Chumba Alternatives

CasinosSweeps.com

Chumba Casino is a world-famous sweepstakes site that is becoming ever more popular in the US. However, along with Chumba Casino, there are all sorts of sites where customers can play online slots and casino style games completely free. Sweepstakes casinos give players in the US a legal way to play online casino games in all US states apart from Washington. What's more, despite the fact you get to play casino games for free, you can still win real cash prizes. If you're a fan of Chumba casino and are looking for sites like Chumba Casino or Chumba Casino sister sites, then you're in luck. There are all sorts available to you to enjoy - names such as LuckyLand Slots, BetRivers.net, Fortune Coins, Pulsz Casino sites - all sorts. These all allow players to play free casino games and online slots for real money prizes - without operating in the same way as real money online casinos, meaning that they are completely legit and legal in most of the US. Sites like Chumba casino offer free casino games where players play with pretend money and virtual currencies - normally sweeps coins and gold coins. You can either get these currencies for free with bonuses and promotions or you can purchase gold coins to receive free sweeps coins. So, if you fancy a change from Chumba Casino and can't access a real money online casino legally then here are some of the very best Chumba Casino alternatives... Other Sites Like Chumba Casino Some sites like Chumba Casino are sister sites, including: Wow Vegas: Register an account to claim 5,000 Wow Coins + 1 Sweeps Coins Fortune Coins: Sign up and claim 140,000 Gold Coins + 500 Fortune Coins Pulsz: Sign up and claim 5,000 Gold Coins BetRivers.net: Register and claim up to 1,000 virtual credits every day Gambino Slots: Sign up and claim 200 spins + 100,000 free Coins SweepSlots: Sign up and claim 10,000 Gold Coins + 1,000 Sweeps Coins Stake.us: Players claim a 5% Rakeback bonus LuckyLand Slots: Sign up to claim 7,777 Gold Coins + 10 Sweeps Coins Golden Hearts Games: Sign up and spend $10 to get $10 in free play Funzpoints: New players get 250 premium Funzpoint WOW Vegas One of the best alternative sites to Chumba Casino - which offers slot and table games, jackpot slots and other casino games for the chance to win cash prizes is WOW Casino. In this sweepstakes casino, you can play with virtual currencies called WOW Coins, which are the equivalent of Golf Coins. You also have the option to play with sweeps coins for real prizes. Again - as is the case with Chumba Casino, you won't be able to buy sweepstakes coins, but you can get them through promotions and log-in rewards, via the welcome bonus and when purchasing WOW Coins packages. WOW Vegas Pros: Available in 47 different states Win real cash prizes Claim 4.5 sweeps coins for free on sign-up with no deposit required Up to 30 sweeps coins for free on the first purchase - no deposit bonus code required No bonus code required CHUMBA CASINO vs WOW VEGAS If you like to play slots, instant win games and table games, then WOW Vegas casino offers a very similar service to Chumba Casino - both have an excellent selection of games.

In total, there are more than 50 slot machine games with 10 being jackpot slots. Claim your Pulsz promo code for free coins. You can also check out Pulsz Sister Casinos for sites like Pulsz.

CHUMBA CASINO VS PULSZ CASINO In terms of layout, the Pulsz Casino is separated into different categories as is the case with Chumba Casino. Games are categorised by paylines, themes and bonus features which makes it a lot easier to find your favourite games. The main similarity to Chumba Casino is that, unlike many other sweepstakes casinos, Pulsz casino offers table games as well as slot games. At Pulsz Casino, you can enjoy games such as Texas Hold'em, Blackjack and more, which is a big bonus if you're a fan of more traditional casino games. Fortune Coins Another sweepstakes casino that is becoming more popular across the US is Fortune Coins. It offers a decent selection of online casino games. As well as online slot games, there are other game types which aren't as readily available at sweepstakes and social casinos. Fortune Coins Pros You can earn free Fortune Coins Has an easy-to-use welcome bonus You can claim 500 Fortune Coins for free when you sign up - no deposit needed You can claim 2000 free Fortune Coins on your first purchase bonus with no bonus code required CHUMBA CASINO VS FORTUNE COINS There are a number of similarities between Chumba Casino and Fortune Coins. Firstly, they are both sweeps casinos which require no real money purchases to play. In addition, there is also a very similar free games catalogue with many similar titles available. Fortune Coins along with a number of its games, has an Ancient China theme. There are a number of Ancient China-style games available at Chumba Casino as well including Dragon's River, Dancing Gold and more. Rivers Casino4Fun Rivers Casino4Fun is a very popular Social Casino available to players in the US. What's more, it is the sister site to the famous real money online casino, BetRivers. You can enjoy many of the same games but you get to enjoy them for free. Rivers Casino4Fun Pros: Offers free bonus bingo You can claim free credits and free spins Claim $20 of virtual currency for free every four hours You can win up to $1,000 in virtual credit with the daily free spins - no code required CHUMBA CASINO VS RIVERS CASINO4FUN Although Chumba Casino has an excellent selection of free casino games, it doesn't even start to compare to the catalogue available at Casino4Fun. Here, you will be able to find hundreds of popular slot games, table games - and it even has live dealer games. The one thing that is missing, though, is the chance to redeem your wins for real money prizes. Unfortunately, as great as the site is, you can play for fun only. Although this does mean that you can enjoy some of the very best games out there without spending any of your own money, you won't be able to win cash prizes or gift cards - just extra time playing LuckyLand Slots One of the most popular alternatives to Chumba Casino is LuckyLand Slots, which is a sister site of Chumba Casino and is a part of the VGM Group of Sweepstakes casino sites. CHUMBA CASINO VS LUCKYLAND SLOTS When you open up the LuckyLand Slot site, you will find some super games to get involved in. It offers all different online slots, with all different types of symbols and a whole host of winning ways. You can try out titles such as King of the Jungle, Mardi Gras MMoney, Amazonia 3D, Empire Reels and more. There are four ways in which you can collect sweeps coins. Welcome bonus offer, daily log-in rewards, you can also claim sweeps coins for free when you purchase gold coins packages or you can enter sweeps coins giveaways on their social media pages such as Facebook. Although the Chumba Casino online social casino is the most popular of the sites, the above-mentioned alternatives to Chumba Casino are great options. They offer free sweeps, coins, the chance of real money wins - and some of the best sweeps and casino games that you will find. You can enjoy slots, table games, instant scratchcards and all sorts Playing Free Games At Sweeps Casinos One of the biggest issues with playing online casino games at real money online casinos is the fact that you are risking your own money - and there is the chance that you can lose a lot of your money if you're not careful. Unfortunately, if you don't play responsibly and stick to your budget then this can easily happen. But does this mean that you shouldn't play online casino games and that they are all bad? Not at all. However, it simply means you have to play with your head and if you don't play with caution and exercise restraint, then you could have a negative experience. Is there a way around these issues? Yes - by playing at free casino sites like Chumba Casino. Socials Casino Games V Traditional Casino Games Let's compare social casino games to traditional online casino games: Social casino games are much more, well, social! Online social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are a huge part of the experience. They often use in-house exclusive games rather than games from major software providers. You don’t have to spend any money to play games You can set up events and competitions between friends easily These sites make money selling coins packages rather than waiting for players to lose. Basically, social casinos offer you a way to play casino games completely for free yet still win real money prizes. Although this sounds too good to be true, it really isn’t. Social casinos and sweeps casinos allow you to do just this. You can open up sites like Chumba Casino and play real-style casino games for real prizes - without spending a cent. Often, when you purchase a gold coins package to play the games, you will get free sweeps coins thrown into the mix. The gold coins can only be played for fun and won’t result in real money prizes.

However, the chance to win real money is just one of the advantages of playing at one… These offer players a real social community, allowing players to enjoy amazing casino games with like-minded gamers. You can share your thoughts, experiences and opinion on social media platforms as you play the games. What’s more, your entire experience is completely risk-free… which means you won’t have to worry about spending too much of your own money on the hunt for a big win.

As such, the best to try out are sweeps casinos such as LuckyLand Slots (its sister casino) or others such as WOE Vegas and Fortune Coins, which offer a very similar experience to Chumba. The Best Online Casino Games at Sweeps Casinos At certain sweeps casinos, you can enjoy sweeps coin casino games that work in a similar way to classic online casino games and live dealer games. There are slot machines and table games, scratchcards and instant win games… all sorts. You can use virtual currency Gold Coins at all of these sites to play your favorite games for free. You can also try and claim as many free sweeps coins as you can for an even more rewarding way to play. If you do get sweeps coins - and manage to win enough of them, you can enjoy real money wins. So, it's basically a win-win. Not only can you get the chance to win real money, but you get to play some of the very best casino games in the world for free… Here are some of the most popular games on which you can spend your virtual currency - be it Gold Coins or Sweeps coins: Slot games Video Poker Blackjack Roulette Some sites even offer games such as Caribbean Poker! However, it is worth noting that the choice of games available to play at sweepstakes casinos with Gold Coins is generally a lot more restricted than with traditional online casinos - which can have literally thousands of games. That being said, we’re sure that many of your favorite online casino games will be ready to play at top sites like Chumba Casino… be it a top-class slot game, a classic table game or even a video poker title. The highest quality sweepstakes casinos will have something for everyone. How To Earn Free Sweeps Coins When playing at a site such as Chumba Casino and you want to get hold of more virtual currency (particularly sweeps coins), then there are a number of ways to do so. Daily Log In Bonuses If you want to keep playing for free, then you can earn coins rather than buy them quite easily. First, most will reward you simply for logging into your account every day. Mail Request If you really want to get more, then you can also write to the sweeps casino (yes, via pigeon post NOT email) and they will give you just that! Events and Giveaways In addition, at numerous sweeps casinos such as LuckyLand Slots and Global Poker, there will be tournaments and events where you can win even more sweepstakes coins for free. Any of the sweeps coins that you do get for free you can keep and use them to keep playing your preferred games. When, eventually, you build up enough, you will have the opportunity to redeem them for gift cards or cash prizes. No matter what sweeps casino you sign up for, you will usually be lucky enough to get some free sweeps coins simply for signing up for a new account - no deposit or purchase is needed at all. Simply keep your eye out on their promo pages, follow them on social media and you will be able to find numerous ways to get your hands on free sweeps coins without spending one dime! Virtual Currency Remember that depending on the sweeps casinos that you are playing on, virtual currencies might go by a different name. Some call them sweeps and gold coins, others call them Fortune Coins, and some call them something else entirely. However, the principle is always the same… if there are 2 virtual currencies available, one will be for free play only and the other will give you the chance for real money redemptions… and that is the one that you won’t be able to purchase. How To Redeem Sweeps Coins For Real Cash Prizes Each one of the online sweeps coins that we have mentioned on this page will allow you to purchase real money packages with free sweeps coins thrown in for good measure. When you do this, you will obviously need to enter your financial and personal details. The sweeps casino will ask you to give them such information as your full name, your full address and state, phone number, date of birth and email address etc. These details will always be kept fully safe and secure. Moreover, all VGW casinos (such as Chumba) are licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, so you can feel assured that your data is always fully protected. At most sweeps casino, there will be the option of the following payment options: Credit and debit cards such as Visa and MasterCard eWallets such as Skrill, Neteller and PayPal Bank Transfers Whatever you use to make your purchase will be what you use to redeem your cash prize. However, if you choose to redeem your virtual currency as a gift card, it’s even more secure. No matter how you redeem your money, you will need to provide a valid government form of ID such as a driver's license or passport as well as proof of residence such as a recent utility bill or bank statement. You will only need to go through the verification process on your first withdrawal/redemption, however. This is only to follow protocol and make sure everything is above board and done safely. Generally, transaction times at our top recommended sweepstakes casinos will take between 5 to 10 days… although sometimes quicker if you’re lucky. The Best Chumba Casino Games Chumba casino and sites like Chumba Casino have an excellent selection of games - both slots and table games. Here are our favourite games at Chumba Casino: Back Blackjack There is a decent selection of blackjack games available at Chumba Casino - but this is one of our favorites. Before each hand starts, you can use your gold coins or sweeps coins to make a bonus play - if either you or the dealer gets a blackjack, the bonus play will be activated: Three dice will be rolled and, based on the outcome of the dice roll, a multiplier of your additional gold or sweeps coins will be won. When this game is in play, you cannot win less than 8:1. However, you can win up to a massive 66:1. Cascade Beats This is one of their newer free slot games and looks awesome. It has a DJ theme and the reels are decked out to look like, well… decks! It has catchy background music and it’s just pretty cool. It is a 5-reel progressive slot game and the prize just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It also offers the avalanche feature, meaning even more chances of wins. Jacks or Better Here we have one of their best video poker games. This game involves players being dealt 5 cards and they can choose which cards to hold and which to discard. The remaining cards will then be replaced with new cards and your hand will be scored. As the name implies, you need to have a hand with jacks or better to win. The better your hand, the bigger your win Where Are Social Casinos Legal? The good news is that these have a completely different model from a traditional online casino. Because of the virtual currency, essentially you are playing for virtual money, not real money. Because of this model, they are subject to much more lenient rules than their traditional online casino counterparts. The governing bodies in states across the US are much more relaxed about the fun atmosphere of a social casino compared to the pressured environment of a real money casino, with serious money on the line. As such, nearly all states in the US - including Texas, Florida and California allow most of the top sweeps casinos to operate legally within their borders. Pretty much all social casinos will be legal in most states - apart from Washington. However, some still aren't licensed to operate in a handful of other states, so do check the availability of the casino you want to play at just to be sure! New Sweeps Casinos 2023 New sweeps casinos that want to replicate the success of sites like Chumba Casino are launching all the time. The newest sites often give an even better experience - more games, better apps etc - to make a name for themselves. Some of the very best new sweeps casinos to try out in 2023 include Fortune Coins Gambino Slots Stake.us Wow Vegas Sites Like Chumba Casino FAQsCan I Play Chumba Casino for Free? Yes, you can. As this is a sweeps casino, you won’t need to spend any of your own money to play at Chumba Casino. Despite this, it still pays out jackpots of 1 million + sweeps coins, which can be exchanged for real money prizes of $1 million! Is Chumba Casino Legal in the US? Yes, Chumba Casino is legal all over the US apart from in Washington. This type of casino is a great option for keen casino players living in states such as California, Texas and Florida where online gambling is heavily restricted. However, if you live in Washington State, you won’t be able to access any sweeps casino from your local IP address. What Online Games Can I Play at a Sweeps Casino?

Can I Gamble for Real Money at Sweepstakes Casinos? No - and yes. You can’t actually gamble real money to win real money as you would do at a traditional online casino.

Angie Avers Shares Why She Left Corporate World to Buy & Grow Minuteman Press Franchise in Phoenix, AZ

Minuteman Press International Inc

Angie Avers has owned her Minuteman Press franchise in Phoenix, Arizona since July of 2021. In this interview, Angie shares how she no longer felt valued as an employee working for others, why she felt comfortable taking the leap into business ownership with Minuteman Press, and how she has successfully grown her business. Angie’s Minuteman Press center is located at 2432 W. Peoria Ave., Suite 1023, Phoenix, AZ 85029. What does it mean to you to be a business owner? Why did you choose Minuteman Press? Angie Avers: “I left the corporate environment after nearly 30 years because I was tired of working for someone else and not feeling valued as an employee. I also struggled with finding a new job for over 2 years as well. One day on LinkedIn, the Minuteman Press opportunity presented itself and I inquired about it. I thought to myself, I have nothing to lose at this point so why not? I was later contacted by Brady Rockwell from the Minuteman Press Int’l team and it all started to become real. I started to panic and almost walked away from this opportunity, but after looking at what Minuteman Press International has accomplished and what they were about, I was sold! I knew they wouldn’t judge me for my age or my background and the key part of it all was ‘we’ll train you.’ My background is in marketing and communications, and why wouldn’t I want to help other business owners build their business with print and promotional products? I thought “this is a no brainer!” What has the support from Minuteman Press International been like for you? Angie Avers: “Minuteman support has been great. Whenever I have a problem with FLEX the team always helps me and if I have other issues, I’m always directed to the correct person. There is so much information in FLEX that I still would like to learn even more. Jack Panzer, my local RVP in Arizona, and Sky Hittle, our Field Rep, are always there to help and be there for when I need help or they direct me to where I need to be.” What do you think sets you apart from the competition? Angie Avers: “I describe my business as a ‘full-service print and marketing design company exclusively ran by women.’ We have a plethora of resources at our fingertips and if we can’t do it in-house, we always have resources to help. I believe what sets us apart is our strong work ethic, our honesty with our customers, and our customer service.” What are your high-demand products and key growth areas? Angie Avers: “It’s really hard to say what our high-demand products are. Our core is still paper products, but we are growing other areas. One area we have grown substantially is our design services. New business owners come into our shop all the time. We discuss what their initial needs are and we start with their logo and colors. From there, we build upon what their other needs are and help them brand other products they may need for their business. One customer comes to mind, where we started from scratch with their logo, then brochures and flyers, labels, and now trade show equipment and promotional products. It’s been super fun helping them build their brand and grow their business.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business? Angie Avers: “One of the biggest ways I grew my business was through an acquisition and it doubled my business last year. I also network with BNI and other organizations when I have a chance. I have started doing more email marketing now that my learning curve has minimized some. Our foot traffic into the shop has also grown. When I took over the business, we put up all new window graphics and added two 14-ft. flags in front of the shop which is located on a main road. We have customers tell us all the time they saw our flags outside.” Why do you think printing remains so vital to businesses today? Angie Avers: “Print is vital because without it, everything would just be shapes and images. A world cannot go without print. We wouldn’t even know how to read if we didn’t have print. So, it is vital for sure.” What are the biggest personal and professional rewards of owning your business? Angie Avers: “Personally, I like answering to myself and making myself accountable for what is happening in my business. I thrive on giving my all to our customers and having a team that gets the job done without me chasing after them all the time. My goal is to be a million-dollar shop before I retire and professionally speaking, I just love helping businesses in my community come alive and building those relationships to sell other products.” What advice would you give to other business owners right now? Angie Avers: “Do your research, put together your pros and cons on being a business owner, and while it’s scary to take the plunge, you’ll never know unless you try. Change is hard for a lot of people, but you don’t grow staying in the same place where you are unhappy. Challenge yourself to be the best you. I did and it was the best decision I ever made. I love what I’m doing, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.” Angie Avers’ Minuteman Press franchise is located at 2432 W. Peoria Ave., Suite 1023, Phoenix, AZ 85029.

From Releasing A Public Course On Using ChatGPT To Leveraging The AI To Improve Company Efficiency — Amesite (NASDAQ: AMST) Looks Ahead Of The Curve For Integrating ChatGPT

Amesite Inc.

By David Willey, Benzinga Click here to read the latest report on Amesite Inc. ChatGPT has shown the potential changes that generative artificial intelligence can bring to the market. Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST), a Detroit-based AI software company, has set out the progress it has made in integrating generative AI into its platform. The release of ChatGPT showcased the capabilities and potential of generative AI, which is able to produce increasingly sophisticated original content. The Everything as a Service (XaaS) market, which includes products like generative AI, is predicted to reach $1.2 trillion by 2031 growing at a compound annual growth rate of 23.4% between 2021 and 2031, according to a study from Spherical Insights & Consulting. Unsurprisingly, investing in AI capabilities remains a top priority for businesses as they look for new ways to harness innovations in AI technology. For companies like Amestie that also have exposure to the e-learning market, there could be additonal opportunities to merge growth in both, with the overall global e-learning market projected to climb to nearly $1 trillion by 2028. A lot of uncertainty remains, however, around strategies for systematically integrating generative AI and systems like ChatGPT’s language model, GPT-3. The education sector in particular has shown an unwillingness to adopt the technology, with at least one school district blocking the program’s website, and universities holding internal meetings to discuss how to control the impact of ChatGPT. Amesite, on the other hand, has always had an AI-first strategy. Founded in 2018 to provide a platform and content for the best upskilling and e-learning opportunities, Amesite’s approach has allowed the platform to quickly pivot to integrate the latest AI technology into its system. Amesite Shareholder Presentation Amesite Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Anne Marie Sastry recently shared an update for shareholders over a call. In it, she discussed the company’s financial position, as well as the steps the company has taken to integrate GPT-3 into its platform and business model. Sastry reported that Amesite has had an increase in both its revenue and sales pipeline over the past four quarters and that the company has seen an overall increase in operational efficiency in the same time period. She identified the integration of generative AI into the coding and business operations as a key factor in driving the efficiency and outreach gains made by the company. Sastry made a series of Amesite stock purchases in February and March 2023, buying a total of 6,000 shares of common stock in the company for a purchase price of $16,800. This means Sastry, who has never sold any of her common stock shares in Amesite, now owns over 531,000 shares. This kind of insider buying, where a CEO purchases company stock, generally indicates optimism by company executives about the future growth and stock value of a company. Leveraging AI Developments Sastry commented during the shareholder update on how Amesite is keeping up with the fast-paced developments in the AI industry. As part of its generative AI offerings, Amesite launched new learning and creative assistants that help course designers create content for the platform. It also released a publicly available course on the fundamentals of using ChatGPT. According to Sastry’s presentation, the announcement of Amesite’s ChatGPT content resulted in a five times increase in site traffic. Amesite continues to host eLearning and upskilling programs that have a 99% learner retention rate for businesses, non-profits, and institutes of higher education. Amesite recently announced a pilot program in partnership with Benedict College, as part of the company’s alliance with the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO). The Benedict College Pilot is an upskilling program that gives students the skills to thrive in a tech-driven economy. "Benedict’s commitment to their students is admirable, and Amesite is proud to be able to provide them with a scalable online infrastructure and technology upskilling content to enable them to deliver this learning with excellence. This pilot is another example of how we can deliver much-needed upskilling campus-wide, very efficiently," said Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, Founder and CEO of Amesite. Other companies in the online learning space include Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR), 2U (NASDAQ: TWOU) and Powerschool Holdings Inc. (NYSE: PWSC). Interested in learning more about Amesite?

2023년 상장 예정 신규코인 추천 BEST 11

Finance News

암호화폐 시장은 주식 및 채권 등의 기존 자산군에 비해서 여전히 신생 분야입니다. 따라서 새롭고 흥미로운 신규 코인들이 정기적으로 생겨나고 있으며 각 프로젝트는 비트코인 및 이더리움과 같은 주요 코인으로부터 시장 점유율을 가져오려고 시도하고 있습니다. 가상화폐 시장은 아직 탄생한지 20년 밖에 안 되었다. 비트코인의 등장 이후 매일 수십 개의 신규 암호화폐가 출시되고 있으며 비트코인, 이더리움, 도지코인 등 대형 코인의 시장 점유율을 뺏어오기 위해 최고의 거래소에 상장되기 위해 열심히 노력하고 있다. 현재 발표된 뉴욕 월가의 암호화폐 거래소 EDXM 상장 코인은 비트코인, 이더리움, 라이트코인, 비트코인캐시가 있다. 많은 사람들은 EDXM 상장 코인 80 개를 추측하며 상장 확정 발표를 기다리고 있다. 이 글에서는 업비트 상장 예정 코인 등 2023년 주요 거래소에 상장될 것으로 기대되는 주요 신규 가상화폐 프로젝트 순위 그리고 그 이유에 관해 살펴본다. 2023년 신규 상장 예정 코인 추천 아래에는 코인 상장 예정인 신규 코인 추천 순위이다. 신규 코인 프로젝트의 핵심 가치와 전망을 살펴보며 주목받는 이유를 깊이 있게 살펴보도록 하겠다. 러브 헤이트 이누(LHINU) - 2023년 최고의 상승 여력을 보이는 보트투언 밈코인 파이트 아웃(FGHT) – 무브투언 보상을 제공하는 최첨단 피트니스 솔루션 C+Charge (CCHG) – 전기차 운전자에게 충전 보상을 제공하는 친환경 신규코인 쎄타(THETA) – 혁신적 사용 사례를 제공하는 상장 예정 코인 에스테이트X – 부동산 산업을 혁신하는 신규 상장 코인 에이프코인 – 가장 유명한 NFT 컬렉션을 지원하는 흥미로운 코인 프로젝트 갓스 언체인드 - 무료플레이 트레이딩 카드 게임을 제공하는 이더리움 기반 신규 프로젝트 갈라 게임즈 - 블록체인 게임 개발을 지원하는 인기 신규 코인 넥소 - 가상화폐 대출을 지원하는 크립토 기대작 옵티미즘 - 이더리움을 지원하는 최신 가상화폐 거래소 중 한 곳 파이 코인 - 삼성코인 상장 예정 프로젝트로 업비트 상장 가능성 대두 가상화폐 투자 전 반드시 고려할 사항 가상화폐, 특히나 신규 코인에 투자할 때에는 프로젝트의 위험과 특성, 전망을 다양한 관점에서 분석한 후 본인의 투자 성향 및 철학에 따라 투자해야 한다. 본 기사에서 제공하는 다양한 정보와 함께 추가로 철저하게 조사하여 정보에 입각한 투자 판단을 진행한다면 2023년 불장에서 좋은 성과를 내는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 1. 러브 헤이트 이누(LHINU) – 2023년 최고의 상승 여력을 보이는 보트투언 밈코인 매일 쏟아져 나오는 수많은 코인의 물결 속에서 실제로 현실 세계에 가치를 제공하는 의미 있는 코인을 찾는 것이 쉽지만은 않다. 최근 출시된 밈코인 러브 헤이트 이누 (Love Hate Inu)는 혁신적 방법으로 소셜 미디어에 새로운 가치를 부여해 2023년 최고의 코인 중 하나로 평가받는다. 러브 헤이트 이누는 블록체인 기술을 소셜 미디어에서 큰 인기를 끄는 밈(meme)과 결합한 최초의 보트투언(vote-to-earn) 가상화폐 프로젝트이다. 사용자는 생태계의 네이티브 토큰 LHINU를 스테이킹하여 다양한 주제의 투표에 참여하고 보상을 획득할 수 있다. 현재 LHINU의 사전 판매가 시작했으며 출시 직후 몇 시간 만에 10만 달러 이상을 모금해 가상화폐 커뮤니티에서 큰 화제가 되었다. 사전 판매는 이제 2단계에 진입했으며 토큰 가격은 $0.00009이다. 사전 판매는 총 8단계로 구성되며 전체 진행 기간은 60일이다. 단계가 올라갈 때마다 토큰 가격이 함께 인상되며 마지막 단계에서는 1단계 가격 대비 70.5% 높은 0.000145 USDT에 사전 판매를 마감한다. 구매를 원하는 투자자는 러브 헤이트 이누 공식 홈페이지에서 사전 판매 절차를 통해 구매할 수 있으며 이더(ETH), 테더(USDT) 혹은 신용카드 결제가 가능하다. 러브 헤이트 이누 프로젝트 소개 인터넷 밈과 블록체인, 민주적 투표와 토론의 팬이라면 러브 헤이트 이누 프로젝트는 애정을 가질 수밖에 없는 암호화폐 프로젝트이다. 플랫폼에서 토큰을 보유한 사용자는 LHINU를 스테이킹하고 정치, 사회적 문제, 예능 등 여러 관심사를 주제로 한 설문조사에 참여할 수 있다. 밈과 결합하여 화제성까지 확보한 투표 참여는 소셜 미디어에서 폭발적 인기를 끌 것으로 기대된다. LHINU 토큰은 도지코인, 시바이누, 타마도지 등 성공적이었던 강아지 테마 밈코인의 계보를 이을 차세대 밈코인으로 주목 받고 있다. 러브 헤이트 이누는 해마다 성장하는 온라인 설문조사 시장을 공략해 블록체인 기술로 파괴적 혁신을 이루고자 한다. 플랫폼은 이더리움 블록체인을 기반으로 개발해 투표 과정의 안전성과 익명성을 보장하며 결과 조작이 어렵기 때문에 기존 온라인 설문조사 플랫폼과 차별화된다. 개발팀은 커뮤니티의 활발한 참여를 중요하게 여기며 인터넷에서 사람들이 각종 주제에 관해 건전하게 논의할 환경을 조성하고자 한다. 투표에 등장하는 귀여운 일러스트 역시 공유하고 싶어지게 만드는 요소로 투표 자체가 하나의 밈이 된다. 투표 진행 방식 러브 헤이트 이누 생태계에는 세 가지 플랫폼 유저 인터페이스, 투표 제출 플랫폼, 투표 관리 대시보드가 존재한다. 사용자는 유저 인터페이스에서 투표에 참여할 수 있다. 새로운 투표안은 투표 제출 플랫폼에서 할 수 있으며 현재 진행 중인 투표는 투표 관리 대시보드에서 투명하게 모니터링된다. 이때 플랫폼의 보상은 투표 관리 대시보드를 통해 커뮤니티에 분배된다. 백서에 따르면 투표에 참여하기 위해서는 먼저 LHINU 토큰을 30일 이상 스테이킹해야 한다. 실시간 스테이킹 메커니즘을 사용한 투표 절차는 사용자의 익명성을 유지할 수 있도록 하며 스팸 및 조작 행위를 예방한다. 사용자는 투표에 참여하는 단순한 행위로 LHINU 토큰을 보상으로 받을 수 있다. 이때 스테이킹 규모 및 기간에 따라 투표권의 힘이 가중되며 보상의 크기도 결정된다. 러브 헤이트 이누는 투자 가치가 높을까? 러브 헤이트 이누 는 분산 장부 기술을 활용해 투표 결과를 기록하기 때문에 결과의 수정이 불가능하여 온라인 설문조사 시장을 혁신할 잠재력을 가졌다. 밈의 유행으로 형성할 강력한 지지 커뮤니티와 바이럴 인기는 온라인 투표 시장을 지배할 가능성을 보여준다. 개발팀은 커뮤니티의 중요성을 강조하기 위해 토큰노믹스 구조에도 신경을 썼다. 전체 토큰 공급량 중 90%를 사전 판매에서 공개 판매하여 지분이 커뮤니티에 진정 관심 있는 회원에게 돌아가도록 했으며 러그 풀 가능성도 크게 감소한다. 나머지 10%의 토큰은 커뮤니티 인센티브, 유동성 공급, 거래소 상장 비용 등에 사용된다. 프로젝트에 관한 더 자세한 사항은 러브 헤이트 이누 공식 텔레그램 채널에 참여해 확인할 수 있다. 2. 파이트 아웃(FGHT) – 무브투언 보상을 제공하는 최첨단 피트니스 솔루션 파이트 아웃 (Fight Out)은 사용자가 운동 과제를 완수할 때 토큰 보상을 제공하는 신개념 피트니스 블록체인 플랫폼이다. 개발팀은 금전적 인센티브를 통해 사용자가 오랫동안 건강한 라이프스타일을 실천할 수 있도록 돕고자 프로젝트를 설립했다. 파이트 아웃은 무브투언(move-to-earn) 프로젝트로 커뮤니티에 참여하고 운동 목표를 달성하는 사용자에게 보상을 지급한다. 무부트언 보상은 게임 내부 통화인 REPS로 제공된다. REPS 토큰은 상점 아이템, 개인 트레이너와의 레슨, 운동 장비 등을 구매하는 데 사용할 수 있으며 $FGHT 코인으로 부족한 REPS를 구매하는 것도 가능하다. 현재 생태계의 네이티브 토큰 $FGHT 사전 판매가 진행되고 있다. 토큰 가격은 현재 $0.03090이며 4일 후 다시 한 번 가격이 인상될 예정이기 때문에 지금이 FGHT를 구매하기 가장 좋은 시기라 할 수 있다. 사전 판매 절차도 3월 31일에 종료되고 4월 5일 신규 거래소 상장을 진행하므로 관심 있는 투자자는 서둘러야 한다. 파이트 아웃 역시 사전 판매에서 전체 토큰의 90%를 공급하고 유동성으로는 나머지 10%의 토큰만 활용되기 때문에 거래소에 상장한 후에는 토큰 구매가 상대적으로 어려워 높은 프리미엄을 주고 코인을 구매해야 할 수 있다. $FGHT 은 단순히 걸음 수 뿐 아니라 사용자의 전체적 신체 운동을 추적해 보상을 제공한다는 면에서 기존의 무브투언 코인 프로젝트에 비해 업그레이드되었다. 파이트 아웃은 웨어러블 기술로 사용자의 모든 운동을 종합적으로 측정하며 현실 세계의 운동은 사용자의 디지털 아바타에 그대로 반영되어 운동 성과를 시각적으로 확인할 수 있다. 아바타는 현실 세계에서 운동하여 훈련시키며 능력치를 강화할 수 있다. 이후 메타버스에서 다른 사용자와 대결해 우승하면 추가 토큰 보상을 획득할 수 있다. 파이트 아웃 상점에는 아바타를 커스터마이징할 수 있는 다양한 아이템도 판매하고 있으므로 개성에 맞게 꾸미고 뽐낼 수 있다. 파이트 아웃은 오프라인 체육관도 개설할 예정이며 운동 보상으로 받은 REPS로 오플인 헬스장의 회원권을 구매할 수 있어 특별한 피트니스 경험을 체험할 수 있다. 프로젝트에 관한 자세한 사항은 공식 텔레그램 채널을 통해 확인할 수 있다. 3. C+Charge (CCHG) – 전기차 운전자에게 충전 보상을 제공하는 친환경 신규코인 C+Charge 는 블록체인 기반 P2P 결제 네트워크를 구축해 전기차(EV) 운전자에게 토큰으로 간편하게 충전 요금을 지불할 수 있는 플랫폼을 제공하고 충전에 관해 탄소 배출권을 보상으로 지급하는 친환경 프로젝트이다. C+Charge 생태계는 CCHG 토큰을 중심으로 하며 2022년 12월에 사전 판매를 시작했다. 현재 사전 판매 7단계가 진행되고 있으며 마지막 8단계에서 토큰 가격은 $0.02350까지 증가한다. 따라서 지금 참여하면 거래소에 상장하기 전 최저가에 구매할 수 있다. 전기차 운전자는 C+Charge 앱에서 CCHG 토큰으로 차량을 충전하고 보상으로 탄소 배출권을 받은 후 앱 계정에 보관할 수 있다. 앱은 결제 기능 외에도 운전자에게 인근 충전소 위치를 알려주고 충전소별 실시간 대기 시간 및 충전 요금 정보를 제공해 종합 충전 솔루션이 되고자 한다. 충전소 사업주 입장에서는 충전소의 기술적 결함을 원격으로 점검할 수 있도록 지원해 관리의 편리함을 제공한다. C+Charge는 CCHG 토큰과 탄소 배출권 시장 민주화를 통해 전기차 대중화를 가속화하려고 한다. 전기차 운전자는 그들의 친환경 행위에 대해 탄소 배출권 판매로 수익을 올릴 수 있기 때문에 화석 연료 차량에서 전기차로 바꿀 금전적 인센티브가 생기기 때문이다. C+Charge는 플로우카본(Flowcarbon)과의 제휴를 통해 탄소 배출권을 GNT 토큰의 형태로 사용자에게 제공한다. 플로우카본은 인베스코, a16z 및 삼성 등의 거대 벤처 캐피털로부터 투자를 받은 유망한 친환경 크립토 프로젝트이다. C+Charge는 또한 퍼펙트 솔루션 터키(Perfect Solution Turkey)와도 파트너십을 맺어 튀르키예 충전소의 20%를 네트워크에 흡수했다. CCHG 의 전체 토큰 공급량은 10억 토큰이며 이 중에서 8%가 유동성으로 공급되고 40%가 사전 판매를 통해 공개 판매된다. 프로젝트에 관한 자세한 사항은 공식 텔레그램 그룹에 참여해 확인할 수 있다. 4. 쎄타(THETA) – 혁신적 사용 사례를 제공하는 상장 예정 코인 가상화폐 투자자라면 한 번은 쎄타(Theta) 프로젝트에 관한 이야기를 들어보았을 수 있다. 쎄타는 비디오 스트리밍 분야를 혁신하는 크립토 프로젝트로 유튜브처럼 중앙 집중적으로 통제하기보다 탈중앙화하여 컨텐츠를 제공한다. 쎄타에서 컨텐츠 크리에이터는 영상을 업로드하는 대가로 쎄타의 네이티브 토큰 TFUEL을 보상으로 받게 된다. 쎄타 네트워크는 또한 THETA라는 거버넌스 토큰이 존재하며 스테이킹을 통해 THETA를 TFUEL로 교환하는 것도 가능하다. 쎄타는 삼성, 소니 등의 굵직한 기업으로부터 투자를 받으며 가상화폐 커뮤니티에서 주목받고 있는 프로젝트로 높은 성장 가능성을 가졌다. 5. 에스테이트X – 부동산 산업을 혁신하는 신규 상장 코인 에스테이트X(EstateX)는 2020년에 설립된 코인 프로젝트로 올해 여러 거래소에 상장될 것으로 주목받는다. 에스테이트X는 전 세계 개인 투자자가 보다 쉽게 부동산에 투자할 수 있도록 하겠다는 목표를 가진 블록체인 프로젝트이다. 에스테이트X는 부동산에 대한 조각 소유권을 구현해 생태계에서 개인이 쉽게 부동산 조각을 구매하고 판매할 수 있도록 지원한다. 사용자가 조각 지분을 구매하면 소유권은 에스테이트X의 블록체인에 기록되어 거래의 투명성과 안전성을 보장한다. 프로젝트는 유통시장도 공급해 누구나 365일 지분을 거래할 수 있도록 지원한다. 공식 웹사이트 설명에 따르면 에스테이트X는 누구나 최소 $100부터 투자해 탄탄한 부동산 포트폴리오를 구축할 기회를 제공하며 동시에 임대료 수익을 통한 패시브 인컴도 누릴 수 있도록 한다. 네트워크의 모든 거래는 에스테이트X의 네이티브 토큰 ESX로 이루어진다. ESX는 유틸리티 토큰으로 시간이 지나면서 다양한 사용 사례를 갖추게 될 예정이다. 현재 ESX의 사전 판매가 진행되고 있으며 개발팀은 사전 판매 참여 투자자에게 다양한 혜택을 제공하고 있다. 주요 혜택 중 하나로 ESX가 거래소에 상장된 후 사전 판매 투자자에게는 ESX를 할인가에 구매할 추가 기회가 제공된다. 이외에도 사전 판매 투자자에게는 탈중앙화 기능, 이벤트 및 특별 미팅, 프리미엄 투자 전략 클럽, 독점 NFT 등 다양한 혜택이 주어진다. ESX는 보유자에게 거버넌스 권리도 제공하여 에스테이트X 플랫폼에 등재될 부동산을 선정하기 위한 투표에 참여할 수 있다. 코인은 올해 하반기에 사전 판매가 종료된 후 상장될 예정이다. 사전 판매에서 ESX 코인을 구매하기 위해서는 화이트리스트에 등록해야 한다. 6. 에이프코인 – 가장 유명한 NFT 컬렉션을 지원하는 흥미로운 코인 프로젝트 에이프코인(ApeCoin)은 ERC-20 토큰으로 출시 직후부터 시장에서 큰 관심을 끌었다. 에이프코인은 유틸리티 코인이자 거버넌스 코인으로 에이프 생태계를 구동하며 에이프코인 다오(DAO) 투표권을 제공한다. 에이프(APE) 생태계는 에이프코인 토큰 보유자의 커뮤니티 및 상품, 에이프코인을 사용하는 서비스 등을 모두 포함한다. 에이프 생태계의 가장 유명한 회원으로는 유가 랩스(Yuga Labs)가 있으며, 이들은 에이프코인이 출시 초기부터 화제가 된 이유이기도 하다. 유가 랩스는 전 세계에서 가장 성공적 NFT 컬렉션으로 잘 알려진 BAYC 즉 지루한원숭이요트클럽의 창립자이다. 해당 NFT 컬렉션은 각각 개성 있고 스타일이 다른 유니크한 지루한 원숭이 이미지 1만 개로 이루어졌다. 컬렉션은 워낙 인기가 높아 저스틴 비버, 에미넴, 스눕독 등 유명 연예인도 구매하였다. 유가 랩스는 BAYC 외에도 다양한 상품을 제작했으며 MAYC, BAKC, 아더사이트 메타버스 등이 포함된다. 에이프코인은 BAYC 생태계의 네이티브 토큰으로 사용되며 유가 랩스는 코인을 아더사이드 메타버스의 네이티브 토큰으로도 활용할 계획이기 때문에 에이프코인은 플랫폼의 거래에도 사용된다. 따라서 에이프코인은 단순히 구매, 판매, 거래할 수 있는 기능을 넘어서 디파이 산업에서 다양한 사용 사례를 제공한다. 에이프코인은 에이프코인 다오에서 자금의 분배, 규칙 제정, 프로젝트 선정 등 다양한 사안에 투표할 수 있도록 지원한다. 또한 게임, 이벤트, NFT, 서비스 등 에이프 생태계가 제공하는 다양한 독점 컨텐츠에 접근할 기회를 제공한다. 에이프코인의 다양한 사용 사례는 코인이 앞으로 활발하게 사용되며 에이프 커뮤니티 사용자가 증가할수록 수요가 급증할 것임을 시사한다. 에이프 코인의 전체 토큰 공급량은 10억 토큰으로 고정되었으며 통화가 증가하거나 수축하지 않는다. 에이프코인이 새로 발행되거나 소각되어 가치에 영향을 주는 일도 없을 계획이다. 에이프코인은 OKX를 비롯해 여러 주요 가상화폐 거래소에 이미 상장되어 있다. 7. 갓스 언체인드 - 무료플레이 트레이딩 카드 게임을 제공하는 이더리움 기반 신규 프로젝트 갓스 언체인드(Gods Unchained)는 블록체인 기반 온라인 게임으로 사용자에게 플레이투언(play-to-earn) 기능을 제공한다. 사용자는 여가 시간에 게임을 즐기며 동시에 토큰 보상으로 수익도 창출할 수 있다. 갓스 언체인드는 전략 트레이딩 카드 게임으로, 뛰어난 전략으로 상대와 카드 게임에서 이겨야 한다. 카드는 고유한 NFT로 발행되기 때문에 사용자가 마켓플레이스에서 카드를 거래하며 수익을 창출하는 것도 가능하다. 플랫폼은 2018년에 블록체인 산업에서 탄탄한 경력을 다진 제임 퍼거슨과 로비 퍼거슨(James and Robbie Ferguson) 두 형제가 창립했다. 게임은 단기간에 인기를 끌었으며 최대 규모의 블록체인 게임으로 성장하였다. 이는 홍보 팀이 다양한 이벤트와 프로젝트로 강력한 커뮤니티를 구축하는 데 성공했기 때문에 가능했다. 갓스 언체인드는 2021년에 자체 네이티브 토큰 GODS를 발행했다. GODS는 갓스 언체인드 생태계의 유틸리티 토큰이며 ERC-20 토큰으로 카드를 거래하고 보상을 얻을 때 사용된다. 사용자는 카드를 판매해 GODS 토큰을 생성할 수 있으며 토큰은 법정 통화로 교환할 수 있다. 사용자는 완전히 무료로 갓스 언체인드 게임을 시작할 수 있으며 갓 캐릭터를 선택하면 캐릭터의 특성을 묘사하는 카드 일부를 얻게 된다. 다른 특성과 능력치를 지닌 카드는 추가로 구매할 수 있다. 갓스 언체인드는 이더리움 네트워크에서 개발된 가장 성공적 신규 게임 프로젝트 중 하나이다. 등록 사용자 수는 45만 명 이상이며 주간 활성 사용자 수도 8만 명을 넘는다. GODS 코인의 전체 공급량은 5억 토큰으로 게임, 사용자, 판매, 개발자에게 고루 분배되었다. GODS는 현재 $1 아래에서 거래되고 있으며 시가 총액이 적지만, 커뮤니티가 성장하면서 코인 가치가 점점 상승할 것으로 기대된다. 8. 갈라 게임즈 - 블록체인 게임 개발을 지원하는 인기 신규 코인 블록체인 기술과 플레이투언(P2E) 요소를 결합한 또 하나의 강력한 게이밍 플랫폼으로 갈라 게임즈(Gala Games) 프로젝트가 있다. 프로젝트는 에릭 슈마이어(Eric Shiermeyer)가 2019년에 창립했다. 그는 2000년대부터 게임 산업에서 커리어를 시작했으며 징가(Zynga), 비케이브(Bee Cave) 등 유명 게임 개발 과정에 참여했다. 슈마이어는 게임 산업에 20년 이상의 경력을 가진 마이클 맥카시(Michael McCarthy)와 갈라 게임즈를 공동 창립했다. 갈라 게임즈는 게임 산업 최대 문제 중 하나를 해결하고자 했으며 이는 플레이어가 인게임 아이템 및 게임 보상에 대해 온전한 소유권을 갖도록 하는 것이었다. 갈라는 산업에서 큰 주목을 받았다. 갈라는 그동안 놀라운 속도로 성장했으며 실시간 전략 멀티플레이어 온라인 배틀 아레나 등 다수의 게임 타이틀을 제공한다. 모든 게임은 다양한 플레이를 제공하며 게임 과정에서 사용자가 보상을 획득할 수 있다. 갈라는 자체 개발팀 및 파트너사가 개발한 게임을 이미 여럿 출시했다. 갈라 플랫폼에 출시된 첫 번째 플레이투언 게임은 타운 스타(Town Star)로 사용자는 도시를 위한 핵심 요소를 구매해 나만의 도시를 개발할 수 있다. 다른 인기 게임으로 미란더스(Mirandus), 스파이더 탱크(Spider Tanks), 에코스 오브 엠파이어(Echoes of Empire)가 있으며, 마지막 게임의 경우 사용자가 적을 공격해 보상을 획득할 수 있다. 갈라는 이더리움 블록체인에서 개발되었으며 GALA 토큰은 ERC-20 토큰이다. 개발팀은 특별 네트워크를 사용해 토큰을 바이낸스 스마트 체인에 연결해 가스 비용을 낮추었다. GALA 토큰은 갈라 게임에서 게임 내부 아이템을 구매하고 판매하는 데 사용된다. 사용자는 또한 개인간 거래에도 GALA 토큰은 사용할 수 있다. 9. 넥소 - 가상화폐 대출을 지원하는 크립토 기대작 넥소는 2018년에 설립된 흥미로운 가상화폐 프로젝트로 가상화폐 예금 및 대출 플랫폼이다. 플랫폼은 장기 투자자 혹은 가상화폐를 가만히 두고 싶지 않은 코인 보유자를 위한 다양한 기능을 제공한다. 프로젝트는 그동안 발전하여 가상화폐 기반 카드, 가상화폐 대출, 크립토 론 등의 고급 기능도 출시했다. 셀시우스(Celsius), 보이저(Voyager) 등의 유사 플랫폼은 파산했지만, 넥소는 여전히 운영되고 있다. 넥소 플랫폼에서 사용자는 코인 가치에 따라 가상화폐를 구매, 판매, 거래, 및 임대할 수 있다. 하지만 가장 핵심 기능은 보유한 가상화폐를 임대하여 정기 이자 수익을 획득할 수 있는 기능이다. 이율은 다양한 요인에 따라 변동되지만 보통 연수익률 6%에서 12% 사이에 존재한다. 또 한 가지 매력적 기능으로 가상화폐를 담보로 법정 통화 대출을 받을 수 있다. 대출 금액은 보유한 가상화폐의 수 및 가치에 따라 결정된다. 아마 넥소의 가장 독특한 기능은 넥소 신용카드로, 가상화폐를 담보로 하는 최초의 신용카드이다. 넥스 신용카드는 마스터카드를 지원하는 모든 곳에서 상품과 서비스를 구매하는 데 사용할 수 있다. 가장 혁신적 기능은 카드에 보유한 가상화폐의 가치에 따라 결제하면서 실제로는 가상화폐를 사용하지 않는 것이다. 넥소는 카드에 보유한 가상화폐의 가치를 통해 법정통화를 대출하여 대금을 결제한다. 플랫폼은 구매액에 대해 보상도 지급하며 ATM 출금도 지원한다. 넥소 네트워크는 네이티브 토큰 NEXO로 뒷받침된다. NEXo는 유틸리티 토큰이며 보유자에게 여러 혜택을 제공한다. 가령, NEO 보유자는 낮은 금리로 대출을 받을 수 있으며 자신의 가상화폐를 대출할 때 보다 높은 이율을 취할 수 있다. NEXO의 최대 토큰 공급량은 10억 토큰이며 이미 절반 이상이 유통되고 있다. 시가 총액은 거의 5억 달러에 달하기 때문에 시가 총액 기준으로 세계 100대 가상화폐에 속한다. 10. 옵티미즘 - 이더리움을 지원하는 최신 가상화폐 거래소 중 한 곳 많은 가상화폐 프로젝트가 이더리움을 경쟁에서 이기고자 출시되어 “이더리움 킬러”로 불리지만, 동시에 여러 프로젝트는 이더리움을 지원하기 위해 출시되었다. 옵티미즘(Optimism)은 이더리움 블록체인 상의 거래 속도를 높이고 가격을 낮추어 이더리움 블록체인을 지원하기 위해 설립된 신규 가상화폐 프로젝트 중 하나이다. 하지만 이더리움 블록체인은 무슨 문제가 있어 이러한 프로젝트가 등장했을까? 이더리움의 문제는 블록체인의 확장성과 관련 있으며, 다시 말해 특정 시간에 처리할 수 있는 거래의 수와 연관된다. 거래의 수가 증가할수록 이더리움은 단기간에 거래를 처리하는 데 어려움을 겪으며 가스 비용 역시 급격히 상승한다. 이더리움의 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 많은 레이어2 프로토콜이 출시되었으며 이들은 확장 솔루션으로 불린다. 옵티미즘도 이러한 확장 솔루션 중 하나로 “옵티미스틱 롤업(optimistic rollups)” 기술을 사용해 이더리움의 문제에 대응한다. 따라서 프로젝트의 이름이 옵티미즘이 되었다. 옵티미즘은 수백 개의 트랜잭션을 하나의 묶음으로 형성(롤업)한다. 이들은 이더리움 블록체인에서 단일 거래로 나타나며 동시에 검증된다. 따라서 롤업에 포함된 모든 거래를 개별적으로 검증하지 않아도 되어 시간과 비용을 절약할 수 있다. 절차를 안전하게 유지하기 위해 검증자는 거짓 데이터가 포함되었다고 생각할 경우 일주일 간 롤업을 확인할 수 있다. 옵티미즘은 또한 네이티브 토큰을 발행해 거버넌스에서 중요한 역할을 수행하도록 한다. 거버넌스 구조는 옵티미스트 컬렉티브(The Optimist Collective)라 불리며 두 요소 시티즌 하우스(Citizen’s House)와 토큰 하우스(Token House)로 구성된다. 현재 OP 토큰 보유자는 옵티미즘 프로젝트의 기술적 결정에 관해 투표할 권리를 가진다. 옵티미즘은 시장에 출시된지 얼마 안 된 비교적 신생 ㅍ로젝트이지만 이미 이더리움을 지원하는 확장 솔루션으로 세계 두 번째 규모를 자랑한다. OP 토큰의 시가 총액은 8억 달러에 달하며 시가 총액 기준 150위 안에 든다. 11. 파이 코인 - 삼성코인 상장 예정 프로젝트로 업비트 상장 가능성 대두 파이(Pi) 네트워크는 일반인이 안전하게 운영할 수 있는 스마트 계약 기능 플랫폼을 개발하고자 한다. 프로토콜은 세계에서 가장 포용적인 P2P 마켓플레이스를 발전시키고자 하며 유틸리티 토큰인 파이 코인(Pi Coin)이 생태계를 구동한다. 파이 네트워크는 낮은 진입 장벽을 자랑하면서 동시에 블록체인의 다양한 혜택을 제공한다. 여기에는 검열 저항성, 두 주체 간의 허가가 필요없는 거래, 익명성, 누구나 동등한 위치에서 참여하는 금융 시장 등을 포함한다. 파이 개발팀은 미래 사용성을 고려해 작업증명(PoW) 방식의 합의 알고리즘에 의존하지 않는다. 대신 새로운 합의 메카니즘인 연합 비잔틴 동의(Federated Byzantine Agreement, FBA) 알고리즘을 사용한다. 이는 스텔라 블록체인에서 사용하는 유명한 SCP를 기반으로 한다. 스텔라 네트워크는 기업 및 기관이 노드 검증자로 참여한다면 파이의 FBA는 개인이 기기를 사용해 네트워크의 안전에 기여하면서 보상을 받을 수 있도록 지원한다. 파이 네트워크는 아직 개발 중이지만 이미 널리 채택되고 있다. 프로토콜은 2019년 6월 기준 활성 사용자 수가 10만 명을 돌파했으며 2020년 5월에 2,900만 명을 돌파했다. 오늘날 파이 네트워크의 활성 사용자 수는 3,300만 명을 넘는다. 파이 코인은 삼성 그룹이 투자를 확정해 삼성 코인이라고도 불린다. 한국의 대기업이 투자한 만큼 파이코인 업비트상장 가능성도 제기되어 파이코인 상장 예정 가능성에 많은 이들이 주목하고 있다. 상장 예정 신규 코인에 투자하는 것은 좋은 투자 전략일까? 거래소 상장을 앞둔 사전 신규 코인에 투자하는 것이 좋은 전략일 수 있는 이유에 대해 간략히 살펴본다. 높은 수익성 사전 판매 코인이 투자 전략으로 좋은 가장 핵심적 이유는, 낮은 가격에 확보하여 추후 거래소에 상장되었을 때 높은 가격에 판매하며 높은 수익률을 달성할 수 있기 때문이다. 2022년 가상화폐 약세장에서도 사전 판매 코인은 높은 수익률을 기록했으며 럭키 블록, 타마도지 등의 사례를 통해 확인할 수 있다 신규 코인 프로젝트는 아직 성공 가능성을 가늠할 수 없어 위험성이 따르지만, 유망한 프로젝트를 선별하여 투자하는 경우 비트코인 등 대형 코인에 투자해서는 달성하기 어려운 높은 수익을 획득할 수 있다는 장점이 존재한다. 초기부터 커뮤니티 참여 가능 가상화폐 커뮤니티는 커뮤니티가 중요한 요소로 초기부터 커뮤니티에 참여하면 비슷한 관심사를 가진 사용자와 교류하고 유용한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 신규 상장 코인 투자자가 되는 경우 초기부터 커뮤니티의 주요 회원으로 참여해 프로젝트에서 중요한 역할을 하며 성장할 수 있고 다른 투자 기회에 대해서도 배울 수 있다. 혁신적 사용 사례 신규 코인 프로젝트의 경우 기존 코인과 경쟁에서 이기고 투자자의 관심을 집중시키기 위해 현실 세계에 가치를 제공하는 혁신적 사용 사례를 제공한다. 사용 사례가 유용할수록 수요가 높아져 장기적으로 프로젝트가 성공할 확률이 높아지기 때문에 의미 있는 사용 사례를 가진 프로젝트를 구별하는 것이 중요하다. 마치며 본 기사에서는 2023년에 주요 거래소에 상장될 확률이 높은 유망한 신규 상장 예정 코인 프로젝트를 분석해보았다. 가상화폐 시장은 변동성이 높지만 여전히 신규 코인에 관한 수요가 높으며 다음 상승장에서 기록적 상승률을 달성할 확률이 높다. 최근 암호화폐가 금융 시장의 변동성을 헷지할 가치 저장소로 가치를 인정받게 되며 다시 시장이 회복 조짐을 보이고 있다. 집필진이 선정한 올해 최고의 상장 예정 코인은 투표에 참여하여 보상을 획득할 수 있는 신규 개념의 밈코인 러브 헤이트 이누 LHINU 코인이다. 이 플랫폼은 독특한 보트투언(V2E) 메카니즘에 블록체인 기술을 접목해 온라인 설문조사 시장을 혁신할 높은 잠재력을 가져서 올해 성과가 기대된다. 면책조항: 이 기사는 투자 조언으로 받아들여져서는 안됩니다. 암호화폐는 변동성이 큰 자산입니다. 투자하기 전에 직접 조사하고 손실을 감당할 수 있는 범위 내에서 투자하십시오. 당사는 이 기사 내의 링크로부터 수수료를 받을 수 있습니다.
