Bored with Dogs and Frogs? The Market Shifts to Newcomer Galaxy Fox

RoundHouse Media

The memecoin market is saturated with silly dog coin knock-offs and dodgy Pepe joke coins. What was once a thriving and fun-filled space has lately devolved into a wasteland of coins that lack real utility or serious development – or even something just to make you laugh, like OG memecoins of the past Doge and Shiba Inu once inspired. But recently a new memecoin project called Galaxy Fox has captured a lot of attention as a serious contender in the space, thanks to its smart design, gaming applications, tokenomics and fun, meme-inspired ethos. If you’re bored with these dog and frog tokens and looking for a good project with excellent features and real use cases, there aren’t many options. But one of the few good choices is Galaxy Fox ($GFOX), a full utility meme coin project on a mission to transform the crypto space. Although Galaxy Fox is only in its first presale stage, the project is taking the internet by storm, as many industry experts have tipped it as the best new crypto to invest in in 2023. Will Galaxy Fox have the potential to shine some light during this memecoin winter? First, let’s look at some of the competition. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS NOW<< Dogecoin ($DOGE) Dogecoin ($DOGE) was created in 2013 as a comic alternative to many crypto projects like Ethereum. The project is designed after the Japanese dog Shiba Inu and is based on a meme. Unlike Ethereum, which was designed to be scarce, Dogecoin is abundant, with about 1.44 million $DOGE mined daily and no maximum supply. Dogecoin was generally considered an amusing memecoin by its community, with relatively little value. But all that changed in 2021 as the project introduced real-world use cases. Today, Dogecoin is one of the ten top cryptos to invest in in the world by market cap, with a total value of over $10 billion, with each token costing around 0.07469 in today's market. Dogecoin has been experiencing a notable downturn in recent times. Because of this, many investors have grown tired of the volatility in Dogecoin and are shifting their attention to more stable projects, such as Galaxy Fox. Pepe ($PEPE) Pepe ($PEPE) is a deflationary meme token launched on the Ethereum network by anonymous developers in 2023. The project was named after the famous internet frog Pepe. The asset's market cap rose to one billion USD in less than a month since its launch. The platform's native token, $PEPE, has a maximum supply of 420.7 trillion tokens and is secured by the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. The company burns part of each transaction fee to reduce the total supply of the tokens. The price of Pepe has been downward recently following the report that the project's developers are selling off their holdings. This has not gone down well with the investors who are dumping the token for a more stable project amid the concern that the price of $PEPE could drop even further. Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) is a full utility meme coin incorporating a vibrant and innovative P2E game that empowers users to become part of the cosmic community. Users will have the opportunity to earn real rewards. Galaxy Fox's mission is to become a widely adopted token across several Web3 platforms. In addition to gaming, the platform was designed to offer various earning opportunities, such as staking, minting, and selling of NFTs, burn tokenomics, and more. The platform's native token, $GFOX, is the governance and utility token powering the project. Holders are open to several utilities on the platform and will have plenty of opportunities to earn rewards through the project. Many crypto analysts have predicted Galaxy Fox's worth will rise thanks to its many excellent features and applications, as the token looks set to surpass Dogecoin ($DOGE) and Pepe ($PEPE) as the best new crypto to invest in in 2023. Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) is backed by real utilities to address real-world issues; the project has what it takes to become a prominent utility token. The team has proven that Galaxy Fox will be a safe investment by completing token audits with Crypto Hub - Web3 Agency, a top financial company in the crypto space. As a result, many investors are rushing to purchase the $GFOX tokens at the presale, as the project is considered safe and has the potential to make up to one hundred times more returns in 2023. Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) is the best new crypto to invest in in 2023 and is among the few cryptocurrencies expected to grow significantly in the coming years. $GFOX tokens are currently selling at $0.00066 in the ongoing presale. By the end of the presale stages, many analysts predict a gain of over 10,000% in value. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS NOW<< Learn more about Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) here: Visit Galaxy Fox Presale | Join The Telegram Group | Follow Galaxy Fox on Twitter Memecoin market is saturated with silly dog coin knock-offs and dodgy Pepe joke coins.

By leveraging our resources and expertise, we aspire to establish as a leader in the industry, offering trading opportunities and services ahead, and service a wider range of customers in the African market.”, stated Joe Li. As a myriad of international accolades ATFX bears witness to, the company prides itself on providing top-notch and transparent services to clients from all walks of life. Since its inception in 2017, ATFX has achieved significant milestones that have set it apart from its competitors. In 2023, ATFX obtained a Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) license in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), allowing it to offer an array of financial products to residents. Moreover, through acquiring Rakuten Securities Australia Pty Limited in the same year, ATFX secured an Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) license. Including the ODP license now, this year ATFX has already acquired 3 more licenses in addition to the recent license library FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), FSC (Mauritius), and Seychelles. These important licenses paved the way for offering secure and regulated trading services to customers across multiple jurisdictions. As evidenced by this latest development in South Africa, ATFX remains committed to expanding its global reach and optimizing its offerings in compliance with regional regulations. Guided by its diligent adherence to local laws and dedication to stringent customer protection measures, the future seems promising for ATFX and its clientele not only in South Africa but worldwide.

Bitget Wallet Unveils Ambitious Turkey Market Expansion, Aiming to Boost Local Web3 Ecosystem

Bitget

Bitget Wallet, formerly known as BitKeep Wallet, marked its presence prominently at the Devconnect conference in Istanbul, Turkey. Renowned as a leading one-stop Web3 trading wallet, Bitget Wallet not only attended but also played a pivotal role as a sponsor of the unStable Summit, a significant global stablecoin summit. Additionally, they co-sponsored several offline events alongside 1inch, a premier decentralized trading protocol. Highlighting its commitment to the Turkish market, Bitget Wallet unveiled its ambitious plan for expanding into the Turkish market. This initiative focuses on delivering localized Web3 services, fostering partnerships with local projects, key opinion leaders (KOLs), and communities, and launching a series of ecosystem activities tailored to the Turkish market, all aimed at providing exceptional products and services. During the conference, Bitget Wallet representatives provided a detailed analysis of Turkey's cryptocurrency industry, acknowledging its development and potential. They also highlighted the positive impact of the event on the local Web3 ecosystem and showcased how Bitget Wallet, through innovative product development, has become a leading Web3 transaction wallet. Furthermore, they stressed the increasingly central role of decentralized exchanges in the industry's future. "Turkey is a dynamic country with a rapidly growing interest in Web3," remarked a Bitget Wallet spokesperson at the conference. "Facing high inflation and global economic uncertainties, Turkey is emerging as a significant investment hub for cryptocurrencies." In the Turkish market, there's a strong reliance on centralized exchange (CEX) services and a burgeoning interest in over-the-counter (OTC) trading. Bitget Wallet introduced its OTC services, which include integration with secure and compliant payment providers like MoonPay and Alchemy Pay, as well as access to Bitget P2P. This enables Turkish users to directly use lira within the wallet for buying and selling mainstream cryptocurrencies like USDT, BTC, and ETH. Bitget Wallet's non-custodial wallet services, which contrast with CEX offerings, ensure users have complete control over their private keys, thereby reducing the risks associated with centralized exchanges and enhancing asset security. The recent launch of the MPC wallet by Bitget Wallet further allows users to enjoy decentralized services without needing to know their private keys. As a global leader in decentralized trading, Bitget Wallet offers a trading experience on par with centralized exchanges. It supports various trading modes, such as flash swap, limit order, and futures leverage, etc. Being a robust multi-chain DEX aggregator, Bitget Swap supports nearly 30 blockchains, consolidates liquidity from hundreds of DEXs and cross-chain bridges, and introduces innovative features like gas-free transactions, automatic slippage adjustment, and intelligent on-chain candlestick analyses. Beyond swap transactions, the Bitget Wallet ecosystem offers a comprehensive range of on-chain services and DeFi solutions on over 90 mainstream blockchains. These include NFT trading, DApp interaction, and staking, allowing users to access every aspect of the Web3 industry through a single wallet. The Turkish public's growing interest in Web3, particularly in emerging areas like NFTs and the Metaverse, is noteworthy. The market's diversification and maturity, combined with effective community and social media engagement, provide a fertile ground for Web3 development. "In the future, our services will be available in various scenarios, including GameFi and SocialFi, for transaction execution and value preservation," Bitget Wallet emphasized. According to on-chain data, Bitget Swap consistently ranks among the top ten DeFi projects in terms of transaction volume and active user count, often paralleling, and occasionally surpassing, platforms like MetaMask. User feedback globally indicates a strong preference for swap transactions, particularly due to the smooth transaction experience. In their concluding remarks, Bitget Wallet representatives reaffirmed their commitment to both the global crypto market and the Turkish market: "Serving over 12 million users globally, Bitget Wallet is one of the top ten most popular crypto hot wallets worldwide - the download numbers were the fourth highest globally last October. Our visit to Turkey not only allowed us to make many local connections but also to gain a deep understanding of this market, underscoring Turkey's significant role in the cryptocurrency world. We are dedicated to supporting the local crypto economy and builders, collaborating with ecosystem partners, deeply exploring the Turkish market, and collectively enhancing the global cryptocurrency ecosystem." About Bitget Wallet (Web3 trading wallet) Formerly known as BitKeep, Bitget Wallet stands as Asia’s largest and global frontrunner among all-in-one Web3 multi-chain wallets. We offer a comprehensive range of on-chain products and DeFi services to our users, including wallet functionality, Swap feature, NFT trading, DApp browsing, and more. With a 5-year legacy, Bitget Wallet has garnered acclaim from over 12 million users worldwide and has secured partnerships with prominent industry leaders including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon, and others. This success stems from our commitment to consistently delivering secure and convenient products and services. In March 2023, Bitget, a leading crypto derivatives trading platform made a substantial $30 million investment in BitKeep, acquiring a controlling stake. Following this strategic move, BitKeep underwent a transformative and strategic brand evolution in August, officially rebranding itself as Bitget Wallet.

Ameramex International

AmeraMex International, Inc. (OTC:AMMX), a provider of heavy equipment for logistics companies, infrastructure construction, and forestry conservation, reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023. AmeraMex CEO Lee Hamre commented, “2022 was a great year for revenue and net income. Although we initiated cost-savings measures during 2022, they were not enough to offset the tremendous cost explosion and rising inflation that is plaguing us this year. Rising material costs, interest rates and inflation have created uncertainty within our target markets which equates to a downturn in sales during the last nine months. “In the last quarter of 2022 and in June and August of this year we have signed over $10 million in rental agreements. Unfortunately, this does not equate to $10 million in revenue when the equipment shipped, as it does with a sale. The rental revenue is recorded monthly, which gives the company a steady stream of cash flow. “I would like to add that the entire AmeraMex team is razor focused on sales, cost containment and profitability,” said Hamre.” Statement of Operations for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2023 The Company reported revenue of approximately $1.2 million versus revenue of $7.5 million for the comparable 2022 quarter. Gross profit for the quarter was $371,206, compared to gross profit of $2.5 million for the comparable 2022 quarter.

Profit from operations $199,328 for the quarter, compared to a loss from operations of $1.7 million for the comparable 2022 quarter. Net loss for the quarter was ($32,623) compared to net income of $928,849 for the comparable 2022 quarter. Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.00 for the quarter compared to EPS of $0.05 for the comparable 2022 quarter. Statement of Operations for the Nine-Month period Ended September 30, 2023 The company reported revenue of approximately $6.7 million versus revenue of $14.8 million for the comparable 2022 period. Gross profit for the period was $1.9 million compared to gross profit of $4.2 million for the comparable 2022 period. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 28 percent for the period compared to gross profit, as a percentage of sales, of 28 percent for the comparable period. Profit from operations $438,528 for the nine-month period, compared to profit from operations of $2.2 million for the comparable 2022 nine-month period. Net loss for the nine-month period was ($48,122) compared to net income of $1.4 million for the comparable nine-month period of 2022. Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.00 for the period compared to EPS of $0.09 for the comparable 2022 nine-month period. Balance Sheet for the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2023 Total Assets were $18.2 million, a $4.9 million increase due in part to an increase in rental equipment. Total Liabilities were $13.9 million, a $4.9 million increase due in part to an increase in the Company’s credit line, lease liability and deferred income. The $10 million leases are not recognized as revenue but as Deferred Revenue, which is a Liability. This results in a higher inventory, an asset, and higher liability, Deferred Revenue.

The National Center for Housing and Child Welfare offers Foster Youth a “Home for the Holiday”

Prodigy Press Wire

The holiday season is drawing near, and the American public is being informed that they do not need to worry about young people aging out of homelessness. The National Center for Housing and Child Welfare (NCHCW) is resetting the narrative with its “Home for the Holidays” program and foster children can now enjoy a better night's sleep. The foster care system in the United States fails to adequately prepare youth for financial independence and as a consequence, thousands of young adults age out needlessly into homelessness. Social workers, more often than not, discuss the prospect of homelessness rather than presenting tangible solutions, perpetuating a cycle of despair. NCHCW's efforts lie in combating this alarming trend and changing this approach nationwide. Ruth White, the Co-Founder and Executive Director of NCHCW, brings a poignant perspective to the issue. Expressing her concern for aging children in America, she sheds light on the systemic challenges that persist. White's dedication to the cause underscores the urgency of addressing this nationwide crisis. She co-edited a groundbreaking publication, that documented the plight of children in foster care as a result of their parents' inability to obtain decent housing. Her advocacy efforts have resulted in more than 300 million dollars in Family Unification Program (FUP) housing subsidies since 2009. This nonprofit organization, established in 2008, works tirelessly to prevent children from entering foster care or facing out-of-home placements due to housing challenges. Their mission extends beyond crisis management, aiming to provide economic self-sufficiency plans for those on the verge of aging out of the foster care system. By offering a support system that extends beyond the age of 18, they aim to break the cycle of homelessness that plagues many who age out of foster care. The key is to empower these young adults with the tools they need to thrive independently. The organization's approach to system reform involves creating cross-agency partnerships at various levels. From policy initiatives to synchronizing resources between housing and child welfare agencies, NCHCW is ensuring that no child falls through the cracks due to inadequate housing. NCHCW has worked with a team of foster youth to design the Foster Youth to Independence initiative program (FYI) and as a result, over 4000 young adults have moved into their own apartments. Central to this nonprofit’s mission, is a holiday program designed to uplift foster care youth during a time when a sense of belonging is most important. To leverage these initiatives and make a greater impact, the National Center for Housing and Child Welfare (NCHCW) is actively soliciting funding. Their goal is to secure the financial support necessary to continue providing hope, resources, and a future for those who would otherwise face the harsh reality of homelessness.

The availability of user-friendly online trading platforms that made it easier for individuals to buy and sell stocks as well as the democratization of investing through the widespread use of social media and online stock communities have played a significant role in attracting retail investors. Retail investor participation in the U.S. stock market hit an all-time high in early 2023, making up no less than 23% of total trading volume between January 25 to February 1 – reflecting the increasing influence of the individual investor. Goldman Sachs' derivatives team found that the dollar value of small-lot trades, which is considered a proxy for retail trades, has risen by 85% over the past year. Not to mention, research firm VandaTrack reported that retail investors poured an average of $1.51 billion per day into U.S. stocks in January 2023, which is the highest amount ever recorded. It is clear that the investment world is undergoing significant changes and with this evolution, the need for accurate global daytime coverage has increased. Considering these changes in the investment landscape, accurate global daytime coverage has become increasingly necessary.
