Argentina to Boost Bitcoin Price: New Community-Driven Meme Coin Emerges as the Next Big Contender

Meme Moguls

In November 2023, economist Javier Milei became the new President of Argentina. Known as a Bitcoin supporter, Milei will look to adopt Bitcoin over the next year, which could drive up the cryptocurrency’s value. Meanwhile, a new community-driven memecoin is taking the market by storm and is expected to offer returns of up to 100x over the next year. Argentina’s President Looks To Adopt Bitcoin The value of Bitcoin increased to $37,500 shortly after Javier Milei was made president. The economist has spoken positively about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in the past, and now crypto experts believe that Argentina could boost Bitcoin's price in 2024. However, there’s one drawback: no policy has been outlined to introduce Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. While Milei has described Bitcoin as a way to "return money to its original creator," he’s yet to implement any new policies. During his first few months as President, Milei will look to close the Central Bank of Argentina and dollarize the Argentine economy. The reason behind this radical change is Argentina’s issue with inflation. In recent years, Argentina has faced inflation rates of over 100%, making it extremely difficult for people to buy goods. Bitcoin could be a solution to this. Nonetheless, as of January 9th, 2024, no new announcements have been made regarding the introduction of Bitcoin in Argentina. Regardless, Bitcoin is soaring with the potential release of a Bitcoin spot ETF this week. At the time of writing, Bitcoin's daily trading volume had passed $40 billion, and Bitcoin was trading at $46,609. Post ETF release, experts predict that Bitcoins market cap could pass $1 trillion, and BTC could hit a new all-time high. Such growth would trigger a bull run throughout the DeFi market, elevating the value of projects such as Meme Moguls, which is quickly becoming a strong contender in the presale space. Meme Moguls Emerges As A Top Memecoin In 2024 Meme Moguls is pushing P2E DeFi developments with its unique new meme marketplace and ecosystem. The project looks to empower individuals by teaching them now how to invest and build wealth. Its simulated meme marketplace will give investors $100,000 to invest in a virtual stock market. Here, investors can test out new investing strategies, learn about the market, and win real cash prizes and rewards. Players will also have the chance to meet like-minded individuals and compete in tournaments and other games. For investors with more experience, winner-takes-all and buy-in events are available, where investors can win big. Investors looking for a more relaxed experience can play games like “Beat the Market”, where they build a portfolio to try and beat the world's leading index funds. Meme Moguls is currently in stage four of its presale. Its native token, $MGLS, is selling for $0.0027, and almost one billion tokens have already been sold. Investors who buy $MGLS during its presale have the chance to win rewards such as cash prizes and holidays, as well as a $10,000 reward at the end of each presale round. As Meme Moguls continues to build its momentum, experts believe this exciting memecoin will become a big contender in the memecoin space, offering greater utility and potential returns than many of the market's top projects. For more information about the Meme Moguls (MGLS) presale follow the link below: Website: https://mememoguls.com/ Meme Moguls and all cryptocurrencies are subject to significant price fluctuations and volatility. Investing in or holding Meme Moguls tokens carries substantial risks, including the potential for total loss. Past performance should not be considered indicative of future results.

Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West Presents New Exhibition of Contemporary Western Master Artist Tom Gilleon

Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West

Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West announces today the debut of Inner Light: The Art of Tom Gilleon, celebrating a painter who has become one of the most respected masters in contemporary Western art. Before dedicating himself to fine art in the 1990s, Gilleon was an accomplished illustrator who worked on NASA’s Apollo and Saturn space programs and then embarked on a successful career with Walt Disney Imagineering, where he was mentored by several of their master artists. The exhibition opens on January 16, 2024, and will continue through August 2024. Inner Light: The Art of Tom Gilleon features luminous colors and authentic portrayals of Native Americans and iconic Western structures and landscapes. The exhibition presents a 70-painting career retrospective featuring 12 original paintings on special loan from Walt Disney Imagineering. Gilleon worked alongside Walt Disney Imagineering art legend Herb Ryman and other greats, and his art helped develop the concepts for Imagineering’s projects worldwide. Inner Light: The Art of Tom Gilleon is co-curated by Tim Peterson, Western Spirit Trustee, and Richard King of KingArts art agency, in collaboration with Western Spirit. Noted writer, Gilleon collector, and friend Patrick Hemingway described Gilleon’s sophisticated use of colors as “magical elegance” and compared him to modern greats Edward Hopper and Mark Rothko. In addition to showcasing paintings created throughout Gilleon’s Western art career, the exhibit also presents the world premiere of Spirit Catcher, his stunning 22-minute digital painting triptych that magically morphs before viewers’ eyes, created with former Disney Imagineer and concept designer Marshall Monroe of Marshall Monroe Magic. Western Spirit’s CEO and Executive Director Todd Bankofier says, “Tom Gilleon’s mastery of light and the emotional resonance it brings to his art is remarkable. Inner Light is a testament to his profound ability to infuse his creations with the very essence of the American West, inviting viewers to explore hidden treasures of the soul within the landscapes we often take for granted.” “The Tom Gilleon retrospective will be a major exhibition by one of the greatest living American artists today,” notes Tim Peterson. “His artistic odyssey is a brilliant fusion of nature, light, and spirit that transcends traditional artistic boundaries.” Inner Light: The Art of Tom Gilleon promises to be an immersive experience, allowing visitors to delve into the heart of the American West and discover a world where nature and the human spirit are harmoniously intertwined. Wall signage throughout the show features Gilleon’s own words, explaining his life and work directly to museum visitors. Western Spirit features regularly changing and permanent exhibits of Western and Native American art and artifacts, entertaining events, and informative programs that bring the West’s heritage, culture, and community to life. Other current special exhibitions are Werner Segarra: Vaqueros de la Cruz del Diablo, through February 25, 2024; William Matthews: Decades, through April 28, 2024; the Elliott Southwest Women Art collection preview, through Fall 2023; and “Dazzling Array: The Richard A.

The 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.

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.

Schedulefly Adds Industry Intelligence to Restaurant Employee Scheduling and Communication Platform

Vertical IQ

Schedulefly, a web-based platform that enables restaurants and other service-based businesses to schedule and communicate with their staff, recently incorporated Industry Intelligence from Vertical IQ into its scheduling software.

The Schedulefly integration marks a noteworthy new application of Vertical IQ’s Industry Intelligence, observes David Buffaloe, president of Vertical IQ. “Our product’s primary original target was financial services providers, but over the years, we have discovered countless sectors that can benefit from access to our industry insights,” Buffaloe says. “From insurance professionals and business advisors, to accountants and now, restaurateurs, just to name a few — the value of understanding the ins and outs of an industry — whether it’s your own or that of a client or prospect — can’t be understated.” ABOUT SCHEDULEFLY Serving thousands of customers across the U.S. and Canada, Schedulefly’s simple web-based platform enables restaurants, bars, breweries, boutique hotels and others in the hospitality industry to schedule and communicate with their staff.
