Bitrue Revitalizes Flagship Earn Product With New XRP Offer

The post Bitrue Revitalizes Flagship Earn Product With New XRP Offer appeared com. Leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitrue has today announced a revitalization of its staking service by relaunching an XRP investment offer that first debuted in 2019. In an opportunity exclusive for new users who may be finding it difficult to manage recent volatility spikes, new entrants to the cryptocurrency space can now invest their XRP at 6. 8% APR and continue to earn while waiting for the markets to regain stability. This rate mirrors the first offer that Bitrue provided to its users in 2019, when Bitrue became the first cryptocurrency exchange in the world to launch a flexible staking service by offering XRP investments to its users. Such investment offers are now commonplace among all exchanges, showcasing Bitrue’s visionary and innovative approach to digital finance that continues guiding its development to this day. “The recent market downtrend is a familiar sight for multi-year crypto veterans but it’s a tough environment for new users who may not be used to extreme volatilities.” said Adam O’Neill, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitrue. “The relaunch of our classic XRP offer provides a safe-haven for users to park their assets and ride out the storm as best as possible. For users who regret that they didn’t begin investing 10 years ago, we hope that this echo of a previous age will act as a beacon of renewal and encourage people to catch the growth coming over the next decade.” This news comes at a time when XRP is gaining significant institutional level interest, including the ongoing launch of multiple ETFs which are expected to accelerate investment levels over the next several years. On-chain activity is also growing significantly with settlement rates growing by 200% in recent weeks and the number of wallets steadily increasing, suggesting an increasing level of behind the scenes support for the coin. “Signs.

Clair Obscur is clearing the path for its Game Awards sweep with a major win at The Golden Joysticks

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a fan-favorite and an incredibly successful AA production, has won its first major award at this year’s Golden Joysticks. It’s an overture to The Game Awards, set to take place some 20 days from now, where the game is expected to sweep through the categories. The award: Ultimate Game of the Year. Expedition 33, which came seemingly out of nowhere, took home the biggest award The Golden Joysticks have to offer, setting a precedent for its soon-to-come sweep of The Game Awards. It is the most-nominated game in the show’s history, and could theoretically win them all, though I believe the judges will probably think “that’s enough” after a certain point and allow some of the categories to go into another’s hands (unless Geoff wants us to listen to Sandfall’s devs on stage for literal hours). With this crowning achievement at The Golden Joysticks, Expedition 33 has proved that a game does not have to be a billion-dollar venture, nor a live-service attention-span-reducing “product” that is a video game in name only. All you need is a good story, compelling characters, and an aspiration to create substantial art, art that does not rely on the eye of the beholder but yearns to achieve and inspire something great in anyone who observes it. From the music to the style to the France-inspired setting, everything in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 carries artistic value, which no doubt explains why so many people felt enchanted by it. E33 is emotional, stylistic, and, most importantly, fun. Screenshot by Destructoid And, being a video game, it still needs considerable gameplay and a fun loop, which it provides by all means. It’s an evolution of the JRPG genre, which is taken in its base form and transformed into something both recognizable and new, fast-paced and tactical, action-packed and emotionally charged. It’s as close to a perfect game as they come, and JRPG powerhouses are going to need to have a long, hard think about what they need to do to make their games competitive in the genre again (though for some companies and fans, yearly regurgitations seem to do the trick, unfortunately). I congratulate Sandfall for the win, and can’t wait to see how the game fares in the upcoming, biggest award show of the year (in gaming).

A Cat Will Always Cat: 23 Large Feline Funnies With Big Cat Energy

Hello cat pawrents! If you know more than just one cat, you know that a cat will always cat. That’s just how the world works, we didn’t make the rules we’re just playing by them. Cats have certain behaviors, specific habits, and most of them are shared across the entire feline world. Yes, in its entirety. We’re talking about the wild, large, and feral feline side of their world. Big cats cheetahs, lions, leopards, lynx, pumas, and all the large cousins of our house cats. While our cats rule the domestic kingdoms, big cats rule the wilderness with an iron paw. Did your cat run in a sudden zoomies attack at 4 AM? Well, so did the cheetah. Did your cat loaf lazily in the sun, like there’s nothing to worry about in the world? Lots of lions do that, too. Did your cat hunt a red laser dot with a hunter’s precision? A tiger just did that in the jungle you wouldn’t have heard him coming even if you tried to listen carefully. And yes, he probably also wiggled his behind before he pounced on his prey. So here’s to all the cats! Lorge, smol, and everything in between. Because every roar is a meow, and every meow is. still a meow, but that just means it’s a cat.
