Tech Megatrend update: CEO Anthony Ginsberg reveals surprising growth and global convergence

HANetf

Anthony Ginsberg, CEO of GinsGlobal Index Funds, provided an update on the Tech Megatrend ETF in an interview with Steve Darling from Proactive. With the Federal Reserve pausing and expectations of lower rates, the Tech Megatrend ETF has seen a remarkable 11% increase in November, reaching close to a 30% gain year-to-date. Ginsberg highlighted the global convergence of tech megatrends, encompassing cybersecurity, cloud robotics, AI, and blockchain. Notably, AI's projected $2 trillion in new revenues over the next few years is boosting sectors like cloud, gaming, and social media. The equal-weighted approach of the MegaTrend ETF, covering eight sub-themes with biannual rebalancing, has proven successful in avoiding over-reliance on specific winners. The interview also touched on the impact of major players like Microsoft driving AI development and the broader influence of AI across various industries, from outsourcing to data centers. Additionally, Ginsberg discussed the significance of chips in electric vehicles, considering them as "computers on wheels." The semiconductor industry stands to benefit from onshoring and government spending on EV infrastructure. Overall, the Tech MegaTrend continues to show promise, fueled by global convergence and significant advancements in AI and related technologies.

Missed The Boat on Bitcoin and Dogecoin? Time to Bet on a New Crypto Projects

RoundHouse Media

Thinking back to the early days of Dogecoin and Bitcoin, it's common to wish you had invested sooner. This feeling, known as FOMO, kicks in, especially when new cryptocurrencies appear. If you are one of these and searching for the best altcoins to buy now, you might want to learn about Galaxy Fox ($GFOX). a new meme coin promising 1000x growth and massive ROI for the earliest backers. So, what is $GFOX? Galaxy Fox Overview It's not easy to succeed in the crypto market as a meme coin. Many people look at you like a joke, fun, hype-based crypto that will cease once the trend ends. So, Galaxy Fox has started to take its job more seriously, building a vast, utility-rich ecosystem without sacrificing its fun part. Overall, $GFOX is a play-to-earn meme coin that comes with staking, NFTs, deflationary tokenomics, dynamic presale, and many more, proudly positioning itself among the best altcoins to buy now. Within its ecosystem, Galaxy Fox presents an exciting web3 runner game that provides players with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to play and earn. Successful players will be rewarded with $GFOX tokens in this game. To improve their game experience and boost their chances of success, players have the opportunity to acquire Galaxy Fox NFTs. Each NFT comes with its own set of characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay. Also, players can use $GFOX tokens to buy attribute boosters. Players may obtain a temporary advantage in combat by using these boosters, which raise their strength, speed, agility, and power. The Galaxy Fox game runs in seasons, each with weekly and monthly segments. At season's end, the top 20% of players earn in-game currency, which can be converted into $GFOX tokens for real-world rewards. To further incentivize players, 50% of the revenue generated from in-game item sales is allocated to the prize fund. This fund is distributed among the top 20% of players, making the gaming experience not only enjoyable but also potentially profitable. Yet, Galaxy Fox’s vast ecosystem does not end there, as investors can also stake this new ERC20 coin for an extra source of passive income. Every transaction with Galaxy Fox contributes a part to the Galaxy Fox Stargate, which then rewards $GFOX stakers proportionally to the amount and duration of their staked tokens. When it comes to the $GFOX presale, it is set up to benefit early investors. It has ten stages, and the token's price increases each one. The project's presale already surpassed the $150K price mark, and considering all the hype and attention, presale stage one will likely sell out fast. This strategy has already drawn significant interest, shown by the presale raising over $150K. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS NOW<< Should you still buy Bitcoin and Dogecoin? Bitcoin, the leading crypto, breached $37,000 after a long struggle. This rise is primarily due to investors' hopes for SEC Bitcoin Spot ETF approval. Similar to many altcoins, $DOGE has benefited from the current bullish trend in the market. However, its performance doesn't really match up to Bitcoin's. This is because of Dogecoin's inflationary tokenomics, which makes it practically impossible to make the token scarce and increase its value. But let’s not forget that $DOGE was never meant to be a high-growth investment but a fun digital currency, and it continues to serve that purpose pretty well. In the current market upswing, Bitcoin's high price might discourage some investors, while Dogecoin's limited ROI potential, despite its affordability, may not meet everyone's expectations. For those seeking accessible entry points and growth opportunities, exploring the best ICO presales with strong fundamentals, such as $GFOX, could be a better choice. Bottom Line The current market now has a participant that proudly guarantees massive rates of returns, a fun and rewarding ecosystem, and long-term growth potential. Thus, if you are searching for the best altcoins to buy now, $GFOX can easily be your top choice. With an estimated 450% growth projection during the presale and a unique, utility-driven approach, Galaxy Fox is well-positioned to attract the interest of the crypto community and yield substantial returns for its early supporters. So make sure to get in on the action early! Learn more about $GFOX here: Visit Galaxy Fox Presale | Join the Community 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 memcoins of the past Doge and Shiba Inu once inspired.

By helping create the conditions for founders to raise capital online, Rebecca’s work is instrumental in expanding business opportunities for underrepresented founders. “Receiving this accolade is an absolute honour,” says Rebecca Kacaba. “Thank you so much for this incredible recognition! This award is also a testament to the team around me - I am endlessly grateful for them, as well as to our entrepreneurial clients who push us forward every day. I truly couldn’t be more proud of what DealMaker has been able to accomplish in such a short period of time and I’m ecstatic for what the future holds!” “ The 2023 Canada’s Most Admired award recipients exemplify how culture drives performance, especially in the face of economic uncertainty and other recruitment and retention challenges,” says Marty Parker, President and CEO of Waterstone Human Capital and Chair of the Canada’s Most Admired™ program. “This year’s winners are leveraging culture to drive growth and success in today’s highly competitive talent market through the acquisition, retention, and optimization of high-performance leaders, teams, and corporate cultures.” “This year’s winning leaders and organizations actively craft culture in alignment with their purpose and values every day, and help drive culture as a competitive advantage,” says Parker. “On behalf of Waterstone Human Capital and our partners, we look forward to celebrating this year’s winners and the impact culture is having on their success.” To date, DealMaker has processed over $2B in transactions and over one million investments - more than any counterparts or competitor in North America.
