Shiba Inu's Shytoshi Kusama teases major game-changing announcement

Shytoshi Kusama, pseudonymous leader of Shiba Inu, has recently taken to his “Shibarium Tech” Telegram channel to thank the SHIB community. Even though Kusama did not specify what exactly he is thankful for, the most likely reasons were the patience and support provided to the SHIB team. This was not the only intriguing message from the SHIB lead; Lucie, official Shiba Inu team marketing expert, drew the community's attention to Kusama's recent teaser about a “game-changing announcement” that is currently in the works. He added, however, that he will be very upset if the community begins to FUD it (“FUD” means “fear, uncertainty, doubt”).

Last Sunday, Dec. 10, was marked as an outstanding day by members of the Cardano community, as ADA, Cardano's native token, reached its highest level since the summer of 2022. The coin managed to spike to the high of $0.633. Along with the rally, market watchers could see an increase in trading volumes as well, indicating that investor interest and market activity around ADA are on the rise again. For seasoned investors, though, this spike is accompanied by a well-known warning: a spike in social chatter typically signals the start of a profit-taking phase. At the moment of writing, ADA is changing hands at $0.5509, down by 6.39% over the past 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap.

There have been some interesting developments emerging in the blockchain landscape for NFT sales. Ethereum has long held the lead in the NFT market, but recent data reveals Solana's ascending trajectory. According to info provided by CryptoSlam, Solana's sales volume has recently surpassed that of Ethereum, reaching nearly $16 million after a 2.78% increase. This increase occurred in spite of a broader market decline, with Ethereum experiencing a notable 22.70% decline in sales. In contrast to Solana's almost $16 million in sales, Ethereum's sales have decreased to $11.4 million.

Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.
