Humankind has been forced to live underground, in the city of ANTRO.

In this city, you’ll play as Nittch, a nihilist and lonely delivery guy that survives in the lowest level of ANTRO. Your mission is to deliver a package to an unknown recipient. That’s how your long journey begins, catching the attention of La Cúpula and joining the rebellion of the Discordants. You better be ready to prevent this unusual world from subduing you, because the key to revolutionizing ANTRO is literally on your shoulders!

PayPal Opens Its Doors to Crypto


It is quite remarkable to see how PayPal’s outlook on digital currency has changed over time. It is clear that the largest payment processor in the world is anxious to get in on the cryptocurrency action, having previously sent cryptic emails warning consumers against any crypto-related actions and now accepting cryptocurrencies. On October 21, PayPal finally made the eagerly awaited news that it would be entering the cryptocurrency sector gradually after months of rumours. Further, you can visit immediate-gpt.org

Initial Steps in Crypto Adoption

PayPal’s U.S. account holders will first be able to purchase, sell, and store popular cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin in an e-wallet. In the first half of 2021, the company plans to extend its crypto service to Venmo, a peer-to-peer subsidiary, making digital currencies more widely available. Additionally, PayPal wants to expand the number of countries that can use its cryptocurrency services. By the beginning of the next year, the company also wants to let consumers make crypto payments to over 26 million merchants who utilise its platform.

PayPal partnered up with Paxos Trust Company, which has the requisite regulatory clearance to offer these services, to obtain the necessary licences and regulatory permits for this move. Additionally, the payment processor obtained a BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services, enabling it to run its cryptocurrency services in the state. While PayPal maintained that its licence was exclusive, it is important to remember that BitLicense has been there since 2015, however, it has been given out selectively.

Reasons Behind PayPal’s Crypto Move

PayPal cited a number of factors for entering the cryptocurrency market. First and foremost, the organisation wants to learn more about digital currencies and other next-generation fintech services. Second, it aims to aid in the public acceptance of cryptocurrencies, possibly accelerating the process of integrating them. PayPal also wants to maintain its market share in light of the fact that rivals such as Square have already embraced crypto payment methods. 

Impact on the Crypto Market

The news of PayPal’s announcement had a big impact on the cryptocurrency market. In June, when rumours of the company’s probable entry into the cryptocurrency market first appeared, Bitcoin’s price increased by 4% in a single day. Now that the formal confirmation has been made, Bitcoin has already risen to its highest level since July 2019, and the rest of the market is also on the upswing. Since the company’s stock also increased by 4%, marking its highest day gain in the previous 30 days, the news of PayPal’s crypto integration appears to be a win-win situation for all parties involved.

Addressing Volatility Concerns

PayPal’s approach to managing volatility concerns is one notable aspect of its cryptocurrency business. The business stated that it would use a new method for fiat currency settlement, thereby reducing the impact of changes in cryptocurrency prices on transactions. Additionally, as a sign of its dedication to giving users a safe and reliable payment experience, PayPal committed to pay for any losses that merchants may incur as a result of the volatility in Bitcoin prices.

Future Implications of PayPal’s Move

The fact that PayPal has entered the cryptocurrency market has a big impact on how commonly accepted and used digital currencies become. PayPal might be a key player in spreading the public’s understanding and awareness of cryptocurrencies through its massive user base and extensive reach. The action also demonstrates the increasing acceptance of digital assets among conventional financial institutions and paves the way for more innovations and integrations.

Conclusion

The adoption of cryptocurrencies by PayPal is an important milestone in the world of digital currencies. The participation of PayPal, one of the top payment processors in the world, is likely to accelerate the adoption of digital currencies and increase interest from both institutional and retail investors. PayPal is well-positioned to have a big impact on the cryptocurrency market, determining its future course and ability to be a disruptive force in the worldwide financial landscape, through its large user base and high regulatory compliance.

Katy Perry + Friends

Katy Perry & Friends hosted the first annual Light Up The Court Pickleball Tournament at the Montecito Club in Katy’s hometown of Santa Barbara, CA. All proceeds from the event will benefit Firework Foundation. Founded in 2019 by Katy and her sister, Angela Lerche, the foundation’s mission is to empower children from underserved communities by igniting their inner light through the arts. 

The tournament kicked off with a round robin of players that included Jason Collins, Kate Hudson, James Valentine, Lauren Sanchez, Corey Gamble, Meghan Trainor, Daryl Sabara, Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe, local pickleball enthusiasts and several top professional pickleball players – Federico Staksrud, Mary Brascia, Maggie Brascia and Thomas Wilson. After Eric Geeb and Brett Williams took the championship title in the 2023 Light Up The Court Pickleball Tournament, they played a match against Mary Brascia and Thomas Wilson.

Topping off the event, which was produced by Ngoc Nguyen (Nguyen Strategies), was a mic’d exhibition that pitted Katy and Federico Staksrud against Orlando Bloom and Maggie Brascia. After an intensely close match, Team Katy emerged victorious 13-11. Celsius 

sponsored the VIP Players Lawn and other event sponsors included Stanley, The Pick, Malk Milk, CRBN and Selkirk, which gave guests a chance to preview their unreleased LUXX paddles and Pro S1 balls, which won’t be on the market until later this year. Guests enjoyed sipping on De Soi, Cascade, Amass and Avaline and had the opportunity to bid on a Moke vehicle that was auctioned off.

Camp counselors from Firework Foundation’s Camp Firework were on hand to distribute custom camper designed Katy Perry Collections shoes, and share information about the organization’s marquee initiative, a 3-day sleep-away experience in nature where up to 90 kids are provided a space to discover their spark through artistic programming and bring that sparkle home to their communities. The foundation has also partnered with organizations such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America, LAAMP (founded by Stargate, Katy’s collaborators on “Firework”), Young Producers Group and FIDM on music and mentorship programs and, for camp alumni, leaders-in-training programs. Katy and Angela were interviewed in this Firework Foundation segment from the Lifetime special about Variety’s 2022 “Power of Women: The Changemakers.”
