How can I publish NFTs on Instagram

It has been known for a few months now that Instagram had started testing the sharing of NFTs on its platform, leaving only a few users this service as a test. In August 2022, the social network expanded its testing to 100 countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas, and added support for popular wallets such as Coinbase and Dapper. Are there any benefits of uploading NFTs to Instagram? Integrating NFTs on Instagram allows users to connect to their wallets and choose which NFTs to share with their followers by pinning their possessions to their feeds. Once the NFT is published, a shiny effect is added to the image and displays information such as a description of the collection, the piece, or the tagging of the creator, thus indicating the authenticity and ownership of the asset. How to post your NFT on Instagram The publication of NFT may be an option that at the moment you don’t have active since this is still for a handful of accounts, so what we will explain below would be how these accounts have to do it. Now you can go to check if your account has the option, if not, don’t worry, it will come. Finally, once you have published your NFT, you will be tagged as the owner or creator of that collectible and the rest of the users will be able to see your digital collectibles in the feed, in your profile, and through the Explore page of the platform. We hope this guide will be helpful if you are one of the lucky ones who already have the option to publish your NFTs on Instagram.

FTX Crisis Ignited Debate at LaBitconf, Latin America’s Largest Bitcoin Conference

The collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s empire has been the talk of this year’s LaBitConf in Buenos Aires. Latin America’s largest cryptocurrency conference, LaBitConf 2022, began on Friday and ended this weekend. The hysteria even caused Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin surely the conference’s most recognizable speaker to give a surprise talk at the start of its premier event in which he compared the Sam Bankman-Fried to a “1930s dictator.” The fall of the FTX CEO Bankman-Fried, whose cryptocurrency empire went up in smoke this week, is under investigation for “criminal conduct.” This alarm has caused other cryptocurrency Exchanges and organizations to look for ways to show their consumers that the same will not happen to them. At LaBitConf they had ready answers. Many of the top crypto people in Latin America shared responses to what has happened, below we share them with you: Mexico-based Bitso: spoke to Decrypt about the debacle. BitGet operations manager Mario Iemma commented that the crisis may be a possibility: the Singapore-based exchange, which runs the derivatives market in the area, made known a new system that makes it possible for users to see the exchange’s liquidity at all times. The CEO of blockchain organization Koibanx, Leo Elduayen, mentioned on stage that we need to “open our eyes” to organizations like FTX and Celsius that went under earlier this year and recognize that they are not true Web3 organizations. Buterin added that “this year we just saw a huge set of things,” referring to the collapse of several cryptocurrency projects and hacks. “It’s the things that break because they have a model, and that model is pretty much bad,” he commented. “And the other is things that are broken as there is no trust in the model at all, but in a guy.” Conclusion: As regulators and law enforcement investigate what indeed led to the FTX collapse, everyone seemed to be in consensus on one thing at this year’s LaBitConf: the cryptocurrency sphere requires being very careful about whom you give your money.

Withdrawals at Crypto.com increase after its CEO admits a transaction problem

Many users decided to withdraw their funds from Crypto.com over the weekend after the company’s CEO mentioned that the cryptocurrency exchange had mishandled a transaction of about $400 million. Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek commented on Twitter that the transfer was sent to the wrong type of account on another exchange. Fear runs fast Concern over Singapore-based Crypto.com spread across the Internet over the weekend, with prominent digital currency figures aiming for the company. Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, Crypto.com’s most enormous organization, appeared to question the nature of the transfers without naming the company, which may have fueled Sunday’s withdrawals, according to cryptocurrency industry players. Marszalek dismissed concerns about Crypto.com, tweeting later Sunday that the October transfers had “created both fear, uncertainty, doubt and speculation on Twitter” weeks later. Several users have withdrawn their cryptos with values in the millions. On Sunday, users withdrew a net cost of $14 million worth of the cryptocurrency ether and $39 million worth of other tokens linked to the Ethereum network from Crypto.com. Throughout that same time, Crypto.com moved $33 million of other wallets to satiate consumer demand, according to Argus. Firngía that Crypto.com possessed sufficient funds to satiate user withdrawals, mentioned Owen Rapaport, co-founder of Argus. Crypto.com is a medium-sized exchange. The transaction that caused concern for Crypto.com involved the transfer of 320,000 ether or about $400 million of the token at the time to a wallet associated with cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io on Oct. 21.

What is the new Shiba Inu Blockchain, shibarium?

We all know the Shiba Inu token “SHIB” which is a coin that had an unexpected growth, causing profits of thousands of dollars to many people but today is classified as a shitcoin. The token, like many other cryptocurrencies, is not going through a good time due to the great fall of Bitcoin. Shiba has come as a “lifesaver” that can give a boost to the currency, we are talking about Shibarium, a solution that will give greater utility to the token. What is Shibarium? Shibarium is a new and independent blockchain, which will allow SHIB users to make faster and low-cost transactions since the SHIB blockchain is currently on the Ethereum network. All current tokens will be moved to this new Shibarium network and this is expected to cause the price of the token to go up, which gives quite an interesting investment opportunity. At the moment it is not known when Shibarium might be available, but it has been tasted that it is in development, possibly we will see more news near the end of the year or in the first quarter of next year. What is certain is that the launch of Shibarium has generated anticipation among Shiba investors. That is why once it is launched it is likely to be very well received by the community. Should I invest in Shiba Inu? With the fall that cryptocurrencies and Shiba Inu’s suffered much earlier it is normal for many to wonder if it is worth investing. It is expected that with the launch of Shibarium could come an increase in the price of the token, so taking advantage of these low prices could generate good profit in the future. Where can I buy SHIB? Shiba despite its price is still a popular coin so you can find it on all the popular exchanges out there. It would only remain for you to choose which one is your favorite or the one that offers you good stacking yields to generate some extra cash while Shibarium arrives. Conclusion Undoubtedly Shibarium can bring SHIB back to life, just like Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter has revived Dogecoin and even gave a small boost to Shiba. However, this post is not an investment recommendation, so it is important for everyone to do their market analysis and not invest money that we cannot afford to lose. That is why we invite you to investigate more about Shibarium and see what new utilities they will be able to offer you for being a SHIB holder.

FTX crashes and drives cryptos lower

Beeple to bring immersive 3D NFTs to Solana

We’ve talked about Beeple before, this is one of the most buzzed-about NFT artists in this world and he will soon be part of Solana, as he has shared the future of streaming with immersive 3D NFTs. The CEO of Metaplex Studios, the body behind Solana’s NFT standard, made the announcement on November 6 during Solana’s Breakpoint conference in Lisbon. Beeple: The Picasso of NFTs Mike “Beeple” Winkelmann is an American digital artist whose most popular NFT collections are “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” and “Human One.” The famous British auction house Christie’s where he has sold his works commented about him, “His visionary and often irreverent digital paintings have encouraged him to the top of the digital art world.” In March 2021, Christie’s auctioned “Everydays: The First 5000 Days,” his first purely digital artwork on blockchain, for $69.3 million. It became the second most expensive NFT ever sold. A new way of looking at NFTs Users will be able to create their own NFTs with a Beeple Everyday using a random set of objects. Beeple has moved to Solana through Metaplex and the Render Network. The Render Network offers a decentralized, peer-to-peer platform with remote rendering power for creators. Beeple was recently sounded off as it announced the construction of a digital art studio in Charleston, South Carolina. The space will be used to create and share digital artwork, with the goal of exposing NFTs to new audiences. Is the NFT industry in decline? While most NFTs are 2D, 3D NFTs are slowly becoming known. However, from a financial standpoint, NFTs are declining at an alarming rate. According to DappRadar’s October 2022 report, the trading volume and number of NFT sales each declined by 30%. But this does not mean that business can still be found in this, besides the future of crypto projects goes beyond their price. Anyway, we do not make financial recommendations but invite everyone to make their own analysis before investing and never invest an amount of money that we cannot afford to lose.

India launches its digital rupee

The Reserve Bank of India is becoming one of the first central banks to launch a pilot project for the creation of its virtual currency. The banking regulator comments that the pilot project for a retail version of the digital rupee will be launched in a month. While there have been a few test cases of CBDC, India is one of the first major economies to launch one for the wholesale sector. “The objective is to ensure that the operational part is fully functional before delving into other use cases and distributed ledger technology (DLT), which will come at a good time.” The regulator also said that settlement in central bank money would reduce transaction costs by avoiding the need for settlement collateral or collateral infrastructure to mitigate settlement risks. “In the future, other wholesale transactions and cross-border payments will be the focus of future pilots, depending on the learnings from this pilot,” the monetary authority said. The launch of the first pilot in the Digital Rupee-Retail (e-R) segment is scheduled in a month at selected locations in closed user groups comprising customers and merchants. What is the Digital Rupee? The Indian state-owned cryptocurrency will be used for transactions in the secondary market for government securities. The digital rupee can be used from November 1 “in the settlement of transactions in the secondary market for government securities”, i.e. investment products issued by the Indian state, the RBI said in a statement on Monday. According to the Indian bank’s finance minister, Sitharaman commented that blockchain technology it will give a big boost to the digital economy and lead to a more efficient and cost-effective currency management system. Is it possible to invest in the digital rupee? The idea of a cryptocurrency is that it is independent of any third-party institution. So one of the first differences to consider is that the future Indian currency will follow the regulations established by the RBI and its value will be equivalent to that of the real rupee. At present, several Caribbean countries and Nigeria are the only ones that have officially approved this method of payment, through a virtual version of their currency. Other nations, such as China, have launched pilot projects to evaluate the potential of this practice. It is because of the above mentioned that this cryptocurrency will function more than as a currency to invest and get a utility, it will function as a Stablecoin and a crypto payment method with service utilities offered by the bank of India.

How can you create NFTs?

Learning how to generate an NFT is important if you want to take advantage of the benefits of virtual assets to make money. How to generate an NFT? To generate an NFT you need to follow certain steps since these tokens use different areas of knowledge such as computer science and programming to marketing. Because of this, as a first step you will have to take your time to decide what is going to be the subject of the token, and then continue with the other steps. The next steps would be to choose the platform you will use to have your NFT or collection and the wallet you will want to use. All this will give you different properties that you will have to contrast with the goals of your plan to determine if it is the best choice. What does it mean to mint NFT? Before you start generating an NFT it is essential that you first mint your document to a blockchain. Once we talk about minting we are referring to a method in which a digital file is converted into a crypto collectible. This process is very similar to the one used to produce cryptocurrencies that will later be released to the market. Afterward, you will decide how many NFTs you will mint, and then you will have to make the transaction to continue the process, this step being necessary to have a popular NFT. Characteristics of a successful NFT Making a famous NFT needs time, money, and effort, so it is not something that happens quickly. According to several specialists, the most relevant thing about an NFT is that it has the personality to differentiate it from the competition because nowadays there are many similar projects. At the same time, this assignment is related to the design of all the collectible works that the plan will have and the effort to be the most eye-catching and viable. What are the best programs to produce NFT? Currently, there are several programs to generate your NFT and each one has properties that you should evaluate before making a final choice. The most popular is undoubtedly OpenSea, which is the most used at the moment, to the point that it allows us to develop projects from scratch or generate a marketplace to sell them. There are other platforms but this is where you need to investigate which one is the best for your project. Steps to produce your NFT Once you have created your account on the site of your choice, the next thing to do is to upload your document to the web. You will have the ability to upload from melody, videos, photographs, and more. Then, you can decide how many units of the file you want to mint, although this will depend on the properties of each platform. Now, if you want to sell your collection, you will have to go to the ‘profile’ section and choose the one you want to market. In addition, you are likely to choose the duration of the marketing or reserve the plan for a specific buyer. As it is, once you create your NFT a huge amount of modalities open up for you to take advantage of.

Are NFTs a good investment?

The idea of any investment is to ultimately achieve a return. The same applies to the NFT market, the dynamics of NFTs are different. A survey of over 1,300 people by DEXterlab on Twitter has shown that most people who dive into NFT investing want to trade assets to make money. But to make a profit depends a lot on predicting the right time to make purchases and liquidations. The survey results show that more than 64% of the participants invested in NFT for the sole purpose of making money. But that only the remaining 42% achieved a highly profitable result from their investment in non-fungible tokens below 42%. Sense of ownership Another result obtained was that 15% of the respondents only wanted to belong to the NFT community. Examples of this are the largest NFT community Bored Ape Yacht Club which has several celebrities as members. Regarding the prices of NFTs, different people have different preferences. But the survey participants mentioned that they would opt for a modest price range of $50 to $500 per NFT. Conclusion: Currently, the bear market has driven down the prices of NFTs. Although some collections did not suffer so much from the price decline, others have lost quite a bit. So it is important to consider that although you can still make money with NFTs, the profit will no longer be the same as in the bull market. So we recommend that you look for an investment that gives you more than just the price.

What was Ethereum’s “merge”?

The Ethereum merge, or “The Merge” in English, represents the joining of Ethereum’s existing execution layer with its new collaborative proof-of-agreement layer, Beacon Chain. It was performed on September 19 on a trial basis. This is intended to modify Ethereum’s blockchain from today’s proof-of-work (PoW) agreement mechanism to a proof-of-collaboration (PoS) model designated to be faster and more energy efficient. Why is it called the “Merge”? Ethereum will move from proof-of-work to proof-of-collaboration by merging 2 blockchains: the primary network, and the proof-of-stake network. The merger is going to cause the data stored in the Ethereum primordial network to be transferred to the Beacon Chain, which will then become the primordial blockchain in the Ethereum network. What is proof of collaboration and why is it necessary? In contrast to proof-of-work, which needs miners to compete for rewards in the functionality of the proportion of computational power they can get, the proof-of-collaboration mechanism selects validators at random assignment related to the total portion and timing of when their ether (ETH) was staked. Unlike proof-of-work, PoS validators are not required to subtract blocks to keep the network. Then, the network distributes rewards in ether, the blockchain’s native currency, in proportion to each validator’s collaboration. Some of its advantages include Why are cryptocurrencies bad for the environment? To understand the merger, you should first understand the role of cryptocurrency miners. To mine cryptocurrencies you need to set up a powerful PC with a mining platform, to run a program that tries to solve complicated cryptographic puzzles. In this situation, such a computer will get a reward which in the case of Ethereum, miners get 2 ether plus gasoline, which are the fees paid by users on each transaction. This system is called “proof of work” and is how the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains work. The role of Beacon Chain and Ethereum Merge. The Beacon Chain (which runs in parallel to the primordial network or live blockchain version) and currently has well over 375,000 active validators, is the element responsible for maintaining control of the proof of collaboration. Since Beacon Chain cannot carry out capable contracts or manage accounts, the merger with the primordial network will bring this capability to the collaborative proof-of-stake ecosystem. Essentially, the entire Ethereum PoW chain becomes the Ethereum PoS chain.

how to invest in NFT

How to invest in NFTs?

One of the differences between NFTs and cryptocurrencies is that the former is regulated by the cost of the assets (you can also bid for them), while the latter is regulated by supply and demand (as they fluctuate in the market). Despite this interaction, cryptos are fungible assets and NFTs are not. How to invest in NFTs Investments in blockchain assignments have the potential to lead to thoughts of trading. However, one of the monumental environments of NFTs, such as art, is a long-term investment as it is customary that the works appreciate over time. It is essential to consider several premises before investing in NFTs: Once the investment platform has been selected, the wallet must be connected to proceed with the payment or auction. Commonly, as it happens in Open Sea, the most popular NFT buying and selling platform, there are 2 possibilities: to make a bid to become part of the auction or to sell the work directly for the cost reflected in the bid. Another way in which we can earn money and invest with the NFT is by being an artist and uploading our works or as a project developer. Here at The Blue Manakin, we support you if you have an idea, contact us.

Interpol as the first police of the metaverse

The International Criminal Police Organization, better known by its English acronym Interpol, is reaching out to virtual universes to expand its range of universal surveillance. Interpol presented the idea in a brief for the introduction of the police in the metaverse. This idea will offer a virtual place of immersive training for agents from all over the planet, while seeking to address the new types of crimes that the metaverse can bring and provide stability to the new spaces of human relationship. Without geographical or physical parameters, the metaverse will allow agents to tour a virtual facsimile of the Interpol General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, France, according to the report. Interpol launches its own metaverse It is anticipated that the metaverse will be the next phase of the development of the internet, in fact the technology firm Gartner predicts that in 4 years, one in 4 people will spend at least one hour a day in the metaverse to work, learn, trade or socialize. Interpol detailed a list of probable crimes that they have the possibility of committing in the new spaces, integrated: He added that this can pose challenges because not all acts that are criminalized on the physical planet are considered crimes on the virtual planet. “We may be entering a new world, but our commitment is still the same,” said Interpol Secretary General Jürgen Stock, adding: ​​“benefit our own member territories to fight crime and make the planet, virtual or not, safer for those who inhabit it.” Police control in virtual universes But beyond combating new virtual crimes, Interpol’s metaverse has a primary educational focus, at least in its early stages. In a live demonstration, the police organization taught several of the benefits and modalities of immersive and remote training in a course on travel document verification and passenger screening in which it virtually transported users to an airport. Interpol is the first universal police outfit to dive into the metaverse craze.
