Desde el corazón de la ciudad de la blockchain, salió una idea muy buena, que está apuntada a mejorar el medioambiente, que nuestra ciudad, o muchas otras más lo están necesitando, con el concepto moderno de arte, en el siglo XXI, a través de la tecnología blockchain, el proyecto del Token Mithrandir se hizo realidad. En el equipo hay personas de diversas ciudades como Rosario (Argentina), C. A. Buenos Aires (Argentina), La Cumbre (Córdoba), Vicente López (Bs. As., Argentina), El Alto (Bolivia), Lima (Perú), y se siguen sumando muchos voluntarios más para ser parte del equipo. 

Por otra parte, que el mercado de los NFT, sigue creciendo en materia de creación no es una novedad, a pesar de que las ventas de los mismos sigue muy quieta por estar en un mercado bajista. Ante este panorama, una idea muy buena salió del equipo Mithrandir, que está apuntada a mejorar el medioambiente, que en las ciudades de todo el mundo, lo están necesitando, mesclado con el concepto moderno de arte que hay  en el siglo XXI, y a través de la tecnología blockchain. 

Dentro del enorme y grandioso ecosistema de Cardano, está instalado el Token Mithrandir, que está diseñado para ayudar y agilizar la forestación de partes del planeta Tierra, eso dependerá de dónde sean los voluntarios que se anoten para colaborar con esta iniciativa ecológica, y financiera. Dentro de este contexto de creación del Token Mithrandir, se lanzó una serie de NFT para ayudar financieramente a este proyecto. Sobre porqué se creó el proyecto en el ecosistema de blockchain de Cardano nos dice su CEO Ulises Barreiro “se eligió el ecosistema de Cardano  porque está en su filosofía misma con que fue creado ese ecosistema tecnológico ayudar al planeta Tierra, y a las sociedades humanas, es realmente filosóficamente hablando uno de los proyectos criptográficos más nobles “, y así es cuando uno conoce a la comunidad que invierte detrás de Cardano, y por ende los proyectos que se van desarrollando da gusto ser parte de ese colectivo financiero y tecnológico. Pero, pasemos a hablar sobre los NFT, del Token Mithrandir que son una belleza. 

La clave del éxito nos dice Jorge Córdoba uno de los programadores que es parte del equipo “esta en que son de bajo costo, cada NFT, salen a la venta entre 5 a 7 ADAs, y eso lo hace rentable para los inversores latinos, dado que en valores de dólares es una media de 2 dólares cada uno, y sabemos que en mercado alcista, los mismos se pueden revender en 10 dólares”, cuanta razón tiene, dado que en estos momentos es que hay que invertir en NFTs baratos, para poder venderlos en el próximo mercado alcista, nunca se compran en el mercado alcista, dado que después se tarda mucho tiempo en recuperar el dinero, si es que se puede recuperar. 

Todos los NFT creados desde el Token Mirhandir, comparten una misma razón de creación estás imágenes artísticas, principalmente creemos en el sistema DeFi, en blockchain, y en el ecosistema Cardano. Por eso estamos convencidos que todo proyecto de Token o de criptomonedas debe tener su parte y correlato en el arte de los NFTs. No se puede pensar el resto del siglo XXI, sino se completa las variables del arte moderno. A todo esto los artistas rosarinos “vienen participando ampliamente en este sector de negocios y el arte” manifiesta el CTO & co-founder del Token Mithrandir, Daniel Rodríguez que vive en la ciudad de Rosario, y tiene contactos con artistas de esta ciudad. 

Como en el pasado los destinatarios del arte en la edad media era un reducido número de personas, que compartían un mismo estilo, y una misma visión, luego el Renacimiento continuo este estilo, y en tiempos más modernos esto se abrió al grueso de la población, donde muchas más personas pudieron dedicarse al arte si sus condiciones económicas así se los permitían. En la 3º Revolución tecnológica e industrial, como podemos denominar al paradigma del blockchain, los NFTs tienen una impronta de vital importancia, dado que permite a los artistas tradicionales poder llegar a un mercado globalizado, a un bajo costo. Esto, ya lo saben los artistas plásticos de la Costa Atlántica dado que se vienen sumando al coelctivo de sujetos del arte que comienzan a vender sus obras en el mercado de los NFTs.  

Desde esta perspectiva, desde Token Mithrandir (MITHR) sacará varias series de NFTs, desde una referida al logo del Token, y otra a la inteligencia artificial y el arte, otra con perspectiva de género, dónde la mujer será el eje de las creaciones y el objeto, y muchas más. Invitamos a artist@s a que se sumen al trabajo de voluntariado en la creación de obras para ser convertidas en NFTs y de esa manera poder contribuir a la forestación del planeta, la educación financiera DeFi, el conocimiento del ecosistema de Cardano, y varias cuestiones más que le será de vital riqueza (material y espiritual) para los sujetos que se sumen al proyecto mediante el sistema de trabajo voluntario. Todos los NFTs serán de temáticas relacionadas al eje de existencia del propio Token Mithrandir (MITHR).

Cardano (ADA): Sell it for Solana? 

New Post has been published on https://www.ultragamerz.com/cardano-ada-sell-it-for-solana/

Cardano (ADA): Sell it for Solana? 

Cardano (ADA): Sell it for Solana?

Cardano (ADA), the brainchild of Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, has been a hot topic in the crypto space. However, with a recent barrage of bearish news and influencer skepticism, some are questioning whether ADA is all it’s cracked up to be. Let’s delve into the world of Cardano, separating hype from reality.

Influencer FOMO and the Solana Shadow:

Social media is flooded with “Cardano killers” like Solana (SOL) boasting lightning-fast transaction speeds and lower fees. Influencers, often swayed by short-term gains, are hyping SOL to the moon, leaving Cardano seemingly stuck in the dust.

Cardano’s Different Path:

However, Cardano takes a much different approach than the “move fast and break things” mentality of some competitors. Cardano prioritizes meticulous research and a peer-reviewed development process. This methodical approach, while slower, aims to deliver a more secure and scalable blockchain in the long run.

Cardano vs. The Hype Machine:

Recent bearish articles highlight Cardano’s slow development progress and missed deadlines. While these criticisms hold some weight, it’s important to remember Cardano is building a complex ecosystem.

The ADA Price:

Cardano’s Bullish Trajectory: A Technical Analysis Glimpse

Cardano (ADA) has been on a tear lately, and technical analysts are using charting tools to predict its potential price path. Here’s a breakdown of three possible targets based on different timeframes:

Short-Term (1-2 Months): Applying the Fibonacci retracement tool to ADA’s recent price surge suggests a first target of around $2.20. This level represents the 61.8% retracement of the current upswing, a common support zone after a price increase.

Mid-Term (3-6 Months): If the bullish momentum continues, a more ambitious target could be $14. This aligns with the 161.8% Fibonacci extension level, indicating a potential doubling of the current price within the next half year. However, reaching this target zone would require sustained buying pressure and positive news surrounding the Cardano ecosystem.

Long-Term (1+ Years): For the long-term hodlers (holders on for a dear life), some analysts are charting a much more aggressive target – a staggering $55. This aligns with the 261.8% Fibonacci extension, signifying a potential 25x return on investment from current levels. However, reaching this price point would require significant adoption of Cardano’s blockchain technology and widespread recognition of its functionalities.

Remember: This is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Technical analysis is just one tool, and market conditions can change rapidly. Always conduct your own research before making any investment decisions.

Is ADA a Worthy Investment?

While some influencers are quick to dismiss ADA, it’s crucial to conduct your own research and understand Cardano’s unique value proposition. Here are some key aspects to consider:

Scalability: Cardano’s Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus mechanism aims to achieve high transaction throughput without sacrificing decentralization, a challenge faced by many blockchains.

Smart Contracts: Cardano’s smart contract platform, Plutus, is built with security and formal verification in mind, aiming to minimize bugs and vulnerabilities.

Interoperability: Cardano’s vision includes interoperability with other blockchains, allowing seamless transfer of data and assets across different ecosystems.

Bearish News and Price Performance:

Despite the recent bearish sentiment, it’s worth noting that ADA started the current market cycle at around $0.20 and reached a peak of over $3.00, a significant increase. This demonstrates that long-term investors still see value in Cardano’s long-term vision.

Is ADA Right for You?

The decision to invest in ADA depends on your risk tolerance and investment horizon. If you’re looking for a quick pump based on influencer hype, Cardano might not be the best choice. However, if you believe in Cardano’s long-term vision of a secure and scalable blockchain platform, ADA could be a worthwhile investment for your portfolio.

Remember:

The cryptocurrency market is notoriously volatile and prone to hype cycles. Always conduct thorough research, understand the risks involved, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Unity in Action: Cardano (ADA) Community Pushes for Integration with Brave Browser

Cardano (ADA) enthusiasts are rallying for integration with the Brave browser, driven by the desire to enhance usability and accessibility for ADA users. The initiative gained significant momentum following a passionate post by community member "Diego Moroño," emphasizing the absence of Cardano support in Brave's wallet while acknowledging the browser's innovative features and commitment to Web3.

Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, publicly endorsed the initiative, generating substantial attention with over 50,000 views on his post. Despite this widespread interest, the gap between online support and tangible engagement within the Cardano community becomes apparent with only 138 recorded votes on the petition hosted on Brave's community website.

While the online support is evident, the relatively low number of votes highlights the need for increased participation from the Cardano community to turn enthusiasm into actionable results. The initiative's success hinges on the collective effort of ADA users who believe in the potential benefits of Brave browser integration.

In addition to the push for Brave integration, a community member proposed the creation of a Cardano native browser using the Midnight protocol, emphasizing enhanced data privacy. While not directly related to the Brave integration effort, this proposal reflects the ongoing exploration of alternative solutions within the Cardano community to address concerns surrounding data privacy and censorship.

Brave browser recently updated its wallet, adding support for various Bitcoin account types, signaling the platform's commitment to expanding support for established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. James Mudgett, VP of Web3 Products at Brave, emphasized the company's dedication to providing the most secure and privacy-conscious software wallet for everyday use.

CHARLES HOSKINSON WAS PRESENT AT UTN-REGIONAL BUENOS AIRES

Charles Hoskinson with Ulises Barreiro (CEO of Token Mithrandir)

As part of the celebrations at the diploma award ceremony of the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, as the certificates of the first graduates of the ADA LABS, a seminar specialized in HAskell and Plutus programs, programs used to program within the CARDANO network, were handed out. Charles Hoskinson presented the diplomas to the graduates and gave a spectacular speech in front of more than 150 people who were present in the UTN's aula Magna. There were also other speakers such as the Secretary of Labor Julio Cordero, and a large part of the organizing community of Fundación Cardano such as J.J. Siler, Rafael Fraga, and the Dean of the UTN, Engineer Guillermo Oliveto, among other guests.

It was a magnificent party, where Charles talked about the importance of blockchain in this world that is advancing by leaps and bounds in this 21st century.

The students learned several qualities about Cardano, the teachers were Robertino and Karina both from IOHG (another of the organizing legs of the CARDANO ecosystem), Cardano is a third generation blockchain network that aims to improve previous generations by providing a more sustainable, scalable and secure platform for decentralized applications and digital assets. These are some of its main advantages that the graduates understood: Scientific philosophy: Cardano's development is based on peer-reviewed research and evidence-based methods, which helps ensure the long-term sustainability and security of the platform. Scalability: Cardano's Ouroboros consensus protocol is designed to support large transaction volumes while maintaining security and decentralization. This makes it an attractive platform for large-scale applications.

Security: Cardano's proof-of-stake consensus mechanism is designed to provide a high level of security while reducing the power consumption associated with proof-of-work systems. Smart contracts: Cardano supports the creation of smart contracts through its Plutus platform. Plutus is a smart contract language designed to be powerful and easy to use.

Interoperability: Cardano is designed to be interoperable with other blockchain networks, which can facilitate its integration with existing systems and technologies.

Regulatory compliance: Cardano's design takes into account the need for regulatory compliance, which can make it a more attractive platform for businesses and other organizations that need to comply with regulations.

Community governance: Cardano has a strong community focus and includes a treasury system that allows the community to fund projects that align with the platform's objectives. In this aspect INTERSEC was created, and from there they are working on what is called governance.

Note that this Cardano blockchain has one of the strongest crypto communities in Latin America. This community is made up of several communities, and one of them is Cardano's Mithrandir token community. To close, I can tell you that as CEO of token Mithrandir I could talk briefly with Charles Hoskinson, as well as our CTO Daniel Rodriguez and our Community Manager Lucas Cariddi. It was a party for the Token Mithrandir community.

Cardano vs. XRP: A 2024 Investment Analysis for Superior Prospects

In the ever-changing landscape of cryptocurrency, strategic considerations are paramount for investors, and the comparison between Cardano (ADA) and Ripple's XRP offers valuable insights for those shaping their investment strategies in 2024.

Cardano, driven by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson's vision, positions itself as a secure and scalable platform geared for steady, long-term growth. Emphasizing flexibility and enhanced security through its layered structure, Cardano experienced a significant boost in market performance in December 2023, currently trading at $0.4993. The recent surge, fueled by heightened DeFi activities, positions Cardano as an enticing option for investors, especially with its current downward trend potentially presenting an entry discount.

On the flip side, XRP, the native cryptocurrency of Ripple's digital payment platform, has encountered a tumultuous market journey marked by a prolonged bearish trend and a lawsuit filed in 2020. A pivotal July 2023 ruling, categorizing XRP as a non-security, triggered a price climb to $0.77. With the lawsuit's final verdict pending and the current trading value around $0.5473, XRP presents an intriguing opportunity for short-term gains, contingent on the lawsuit's outcome.

Despite similar price patterns, Cardano and XRP's unique fundamentals contribute to diverse upside opportunities. The Ripple lawsuit introduces an element of uncertainty to XRP's future, while Cardano's design-based steady growth suggests a more stable investment.

For investors, particularly those venturing into the crypto space, a diversified strategy involving both Cardano and XRP could prove prudent. Cardano offers a lower-risk profile for those eyeing long-term stability, while XRP, hinging on the lawsuit's resolution, presents an avenue for potential short-term gains. In the dynamic crypto landscape, Cardano and XRP stand out as compelling options, each offering distinctive attributes and the potential for rewarding investment outcomes.
