Stop shoving crypto ‘down people’s throats’ — Pudgy Penguins CEO on NFTs

Image
Luca Netz suggested that Pudgy Penguins is pushing for Web3/blockchain as a “back end not front end” approach, as it makes its IP as accessible as possible. The CEO of Pudgy Penguins — a nonfungible token project that recently launched a line of “phygitals” on Amazon despite the bear market — has offered one piece of sage advice to budding projects: Stop talking about crypto . Speaking with Cointelegraph, 24-year-old entrepreneur Luca Netz said that many NFT projects overwhelm people with Web3 jargon and information, making it almost unapproachable for newcomers: “If you look at the other NFTs in the space, can everyone really get it? [...] I think they’re trying to drown crypto and Web3 down people’s throats. That’s not what people want. People want amazing products.” Since he took over Pudgy Penguins in April 2022, Netz stated that the project has opted for a Web3/blockchain as a “back end, not front end” approach. This essentially boils down to bringing as much attention to the I

Neuralink gets FDA approval for ‘in-human’ trials of its brain-computer interface

Image
The Neuralink device is designed to be surgically implanted and, according to CEO Elon Musk, will eventually be marketed to the general public. Elon Musk’s brain -computer interface (BCI) startup, Neuralink, reportedly received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct some form of “in- human ” trials for its surgically implanted brain device.  Congratulations Neuralink team! https://t.co/AWZGf33UDr — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 26, 2023 It’s unclear at this time what kind of trials the Neuralink tweet is referring to — the only other information mentioned was that the company isn’t accepting applicants yet. Neuralink was denied the FDA’s approval for human trials in early 2022 over several concerns related to safety, which, at the time, the company was reportedly working to resolve. The FDA’s apparent U-turn would indicate that such concerns have been worked out, and the company should then be free to conduct limited testing of its surgical

Shiba Inu: Whale Sends 500 Billion SHIB Tokens to Defunct Exchange Hotbit

The crypto -verse is full of mysteries. The actions of whales play a significant role in the crypto ecosystem, as they help the community monitor substantial transactions that have the potential to impact the market. While whale movements are frequent, there is one specific transaction that has captured the attention of the entire community. A crypto whale moved billions of Shiba Inu [SHIB] tokens into an exchange that recently announced its shutdown. A significant crypto whale executed a notable transaction by transferring an astounding amount of 499.62 billion SHIB to the Hotbit crypto exchange. What makes this move even more astonishing is the fact that the whale had remained inactive for a prolonged period of 7.5 months before making this transfer. Surprisingly, this whale has a remarkable return on investment [ROI] of over 200%. This was due to its decision to liquidate its holdings of SHIB, which were purchased at higher prices in 2022. SpotOnChain, a market tra
