Para sa mga holders ng XRP (XRP), ang 2023 ay isang hindi inaasahang taon dahil sa mahabang legal na laban ng Ripple laban sa SEC na malapit na mag wakas.
Sa kontekstong ito, tinanong namin si ChatGPT kung maaaring bumalik ang presyo ng XRP sa itinuturing na yugto ng $1 sa susunod na taon at aling buwan ang pinakaposible.
Tinanong rin namin si ChatGPT kung aling mga alternatibong token ang maaaring magtampok ng higit sa XRP nitong 2024 – kung saan ang Bitcoin Minetrix (BTCMTX) ay isa sa mga proyektong pumukaw ng atensyon bilang potensyal na makatunggali.
Ang Pag-angat ay Makikita Dahil sa mga Malalaking Halaga ng Pera na Lumilipat sa mga Pribadong Wallet ng XRP
Ang presyo ng XRP ay bumaba sa mga nakaraang linggo, kasabay ng pag-ulan ng pula ng kabuuang merkado ng crypto.
Sa kasalukuyan, ang token ay nagko-konsolida lamang sa ilalim ng antas na $0.55, na nagiging parehong suporta at resistensya mula noong kalagitnaan ng Agosto.
Nakakabahala para sa mga may-ari ng XRP, ang presyo ay lumabas mula sa isang rising channel pattern pababa, na karaniwang nagiging simula ng isang matinding pagbaba.
Ngunit maaaring may mga senyales ng isang posibleng rebound, dahil ipinakita ng Whale Alert Twitter account na kamakailan ay napansin ang mga malalaking transaksyon ng XRP na naglalaman ng 50-60 milyong token na inililipat sa mga pribadong wallets.
Ito ay nagpapahiwatig na ilang mga crypto whales ay maaaring nag-aaksaya ng XRP sa inaasahang pag-angat ng presyo.
Ipinapakita rin ng iba pang on-chain metrics na ang net balance ng mga whales na may hawak na 100,000 hanggang 1 milyong XRP tokens ay malaki ang itinaas sa nakaraang linggo.
Ang data na ito ay nagpapahiwatig na ang mga whales ay nag-aaksaya ng XRP, na maaaring ituring bilang isang bullish signal para sa token.
Ang XRP ay Maaaring Tumaas sa $1 sa Kalagitnaan ng 2024 Ayon sa ChatGPT
Kapag tinanong kung kaya bang maabot ang $1 ng XRP noong 2024, sinabi ni ChatGPT na ito’y posible sa tamang mga kondisyon.
Bagamat walang momentum ang XRP sa ilalim ng $0.50, maaaring magdulot ng interes sa mga mamumuhunan ang positibong mga pag-unlad tulad ng pagtanggi ng SEC lawsuit appeal.
Binibigyang diin ng ChatGPT na kung sakaling magkasabay ang isang crypto bull run at ang 2024 Bitcoin halving, na inaasahan sa paligid ng Abril o Mayo ng susunod na taon, ito ay maaaring maging katalista para sa pag-akyat ng XRP patungo sa $1.
Photo from Unsplash
Nagpapakita ang kasaysayan ng data na ang mga presyo ng crypto ay madalas na umaabot sa mataas na mga antas ng ilang buwan bago at pagkatapos ng mga Bitcoin halving dahil sa kasiyahan ng merkado.
Dahil sa mga dynamics na ito, inaakala ng ChatGPT na ang pinakamalamang panahon para sa XRP na maabot ang $1 ay sa ika-2 o ika-3 quarter ng 2024.
Bagaman hindi garantisadong matutupad ang target na $1, ipinapakita ng pagsusuri ng ChatGPT na ang mga kadahilanan na ito ay maaaring makalikha ng magandang mga kondisyon para sa XRP na magperform nang maayos sa susunod na taon.
Anong iba Pang mga Crypto Tokens ang Bullish Para sa ChatGPT?
Bukod sa XRP, natukoy ng ChatGPT ang iba pang mga token na may malalakas na potensyal na lumago sa taong 2024.
Isang proyektong namumukod-tanging itinuturing ay ang Bitcoin Minetrix, na layuning baguhin ang kalakaran ng crypto mining.
Ang Prediksyon ng ChatGPT ay Maaaring mag 50x Bitcoin Minetrix sa 2024 Pagkatapos Makalikom ng $1m ang ICO
Ang Bitcoin Minetrix (BTCMTX) ay isang kaabang-abang na bagong proyekto sa crypto na kasalukuyang nasa presale, na may halagang $0.011 para sa kanyang $BTCMTX token.
Kamakailan, nagkaroon ng mahigit sa $1 milyon ang presale ng proyekto, na nagpapakita ng malalaking interes mula sa mga unang mamumuhunan.
Layunin ng Bitcoin Minetrix na buksan ang crypto mining sa pangaraw-araw na mamumuhunan sa pamamagitan ng kanyang inobatibong “Stake-to-Mine” na mekanismo, kung saan maaaring bumili at mag-stake ng $BTCMTX ang mga gumagamit upang kumita ng hindi maibebenta na mining credits.
Ang mga credit na ito ay maaaring sunugin upang magkaroon ng cloud mining power – at nagbibigay-daan ito sa mga gumagamit na kumita ng mga BTC na reward.
Bukod dito, ang Bitcoin Minetrix ay nagmamayabang din ng isang built-in staking protocol kung saan ang mga may-ari ng BTCMTX ay maaaring tumanggap ng mga yields na 592% taon-taon.
Dahil inaasahan na tataas ang merkado ng crypto mining sa CAGR na 12.90% mula ngayon hanggang sa 2032, waring handa ang Bitcoin Minetrix na magbenefit mula rito.
Nang tanungin tungkol sa potensyal ng Bitcoin Minetrix para sa 2024, nagbigay ang ChatGPT ng isang lubos na optimistikong prediksyon.
Sa palagay nito, kung ang koponan ng Bitcoin Minetrix ay magagawa ang kanilang roadmap at makakamit ang mga pangunahing milestones sa pagbuo ng komunidad, maaaring makakita ng malalaking paglago ang proyekto.

Dahil dito, inaasahan ng ChatGPT na ang Bitcoin Minetrix ay maaaring mag-produce ng 10x o kahit 50x na return mula sa kasalukuyang presale na halaga ng $0.011.
Ang isang 10x na return ay maaaring magdala ng halaga ng BTCMTX sa $0.11, habang ang isang 50x na return ay maaaring magbigay ng halaga ng token na $0.55 sa 2024.
Bagamat itong prediksyon ay speculative, ang mataas na antas ng maagang pamumuhunan at ambisyosong roadmap ay nagpapahiwatig na ang Bitcoin Minetrix ay may potensyal para sa napakalaking upside.
In a historic move, the 2023 Miss Universe pageant is set to showcase the diverse faces of womanhood, with two mothers and two transgender women vying for the crown.
This groundbreaking decision by the Miss Universe organization reflects a commitment to inclusivity. Even after the backlash they received from the participation of Miss Spain 2018, Ángela María Ponce Camacho, it’s empowering to see such an institution with a wide reach to stand their ground and fight for the trans community.
On the other hand, it is also so fitting to see a pageant that is all about the celebration of women promote the idea that a woman’s journey doesn’t halt at motherhood. Pageants have existed for a very long time; seeing beautiful young women and people letting them compete for a crown has always been a point of entertainment for a lot, and now that the world of pageantry has evolved from simply having women vie to prove who’s the fairest of them all, to a platform that values advocacies, it is both fulfilling and necessary for them to not stop at raising just the voices of women who are palatable to everyone.
In a recent development, the organization expanded its eligibility criteria to include married women with children.
Michelle Cohn (Guatemala)

Michelle, a married mother of two, broke stereotypes by winning the Miss Universe Guatemala crown. Her statements exemplify the multifaceted nature of motherhood.
“Amelia, my daughter, is the best thing that has ever happened to me,”
she said.
Highlighting her love for motherhood is very important. As we all usually witness, women have always been met with questions like “career or love”, and in this case, ‘love’ is extended to their children. This question shouldn’t even be something to ask as men have continuously flourished in their work even while being a father since time immemorial. The same standard should be applied to women, and this is the message that’s being sent by both the candidates who represent this principle, as well as Miss Universe as an institution.
Camila Avella (Colombia)

Crowned Miss Universe Colombia, Camila proudly embraces motherhood, declaring that being a parent fuels her desire to achieve the best version of herself.
“I want to show the universe how capable we women are and be an example and inspiration that being a mother does not limit us to working. To fulfill our purposes, we can play in all the roles we have in life and be successful in each of them.”
As history has shown to box women in the role they play in society, these recent developments further get the message across that women are so much more than what they do, who they marry, or their children. Her participation challenges these preconceived notions.
Rikkie Valerie Kollé (Netherlands)
Photo from rikkievaleriekolle on Instagram
Rikkie, the first transgender woman to win Miss Universe Netherlands, stands as a beacon of empowerment.
“Yes, I’m a trans woman and I want to share my story … I did this on my own strength and enjoyed every moment.”
Rikkie said how she wanted to be role model for young women and those who are in the closet suffering the same fears she had, and this truly shows the necessity of having an icon to look up to so queer and trans children don’t continue to live in the long, agonizing cycle of being lost regarding their identities as the previous generations did.
Mariana Machete (Portugal)
Photo from marinamachetereis on Instagram
Mariana, the first transgender woman to win Miss Universe Portugal, advocates for trans rights on the global stage. Her journey sends a powerful message about strength in fighting for one’s existence.
Even if it seems like transphobia is now a thing of the past, the backlash that Miss Universe gets for the transwomen they allow to compete proves otherwise. In a world where transwomen are still regarded as subpar to “natural born women”, or somehow women in a different category, Mariana mentions how her lobbying for trans rights is so important with “rise in the levels of transphobia and intolerance worldwide”.
“As a trans woman, I’ve been through many obstacles along the way. But fortunately, and especially with my family, love proved to be stronger than ignorance,”
she said.
The inclusion of mothers and transgender women in Miss Universe 2023 is a pivotal moment in pageant history. By challenging traditional norms, the organization sends a resounding message that womanhood is multifaceted and extends beyond societal expectations. This move is crucial in fostering a more inclusive and accepting world, where individuals are celebrated for their unique journeys.
Miss Universe, being one of the largest global platforms, has the power to influence perceptions and shape societal attitudes. By embracing diversity, the pageant not only reflects the evolving definition of womanhood but also encourages other institutions to follow suit, fostering a more accepting and open-minded world.
Photo from camiavellam on Instagram
As the world eagerly anticipates the Miss Universe 2023 coronation, the inclusion of mothers and transgender women inspires a new generation to embrace diversity and the different identities of all women. As Angela Ponce, the first transwoman to compete in the renowned pageant, said during Miss Universe 2018, “I don’t need to win Miss Universe. I only need to be here.”

Speaking of revolutionizing Ube cakes, Purple Cake Shop is doing just that.
Purple Cake Shop, an FDA-licensed food manufacturer, has significantly enhanced the Ube cake industry by transforming it from a small-scale, home-based operation into a sophisticated, large-scale commercial enterprise. This upgrade ensures quality consistency and adherence to food safety standards.
Purple Cake Shop Always Commits to Provide Fresh Cakes
“Commitment to freshness.” That’s what Purple Cake Capitol Branch swears by. The shop prides itself on baking the cakes fresh daily so that customers will receive only the freshest products.

When you hear or read the word art, what comes to mind? Is it beauty? Paintings? Well, art is a lot of things— art is even healing.
Different types of art can have a positive impact on individuals. In this case, painting was a way for an elementary school teacher to heal from a challenging motorcycle incident. Let’s witness the healing strokes of painting— This is The Sugboanon, the Beth Dacuma-Alegado Story.
The Healing Strokes
Miss Bethram “Beth” Dacuma-Alegado is a self-taught realist painter from Toledo City, Cebu. She is also a grade 1 public school teacher at Old Bucao Elementary School.
Photo from Beth Dacuma
Miss Beth shared her incredible journey to Sugbo.ph and told us how realism’s painting stroke helped her survive challenging experiences.
In 2020, Miss Beth got into a freak motorcycle accident. The incident left her feeling jumbled up, and she described her life as a messed-up painting. During her recovery, she started playing around with a paintbrush, and instantly, Miss Beth felt the art’s “healing hug.”
“The colors and strokes helped fix not just my body but also the messed-up feelings inside.”
said Miss Beth
Photo from Beth Dacuma
“Each brush on the canvas felt like taking back control and making something good out of the mess.”
Beth Dacuma
For Miss Beth, the canvas was like her friend, letting her pour all her feelings out.
A Passion at 5 Years Old
Miss Beth shared that since she was 5, she wanted to become a painter. However, she could not pursue her dreams because of how expensive art education was.
Photo from Beth Dacuma
Moreover, after her near-death experience, she realized life’s uncertainties and embraced a second chance. Because of her realization, she pursued what she had always wanted, and that was to paint.
Capturing Her Reality Through Realism
Out of all art styles, why choose realism? Well, Miss Beth had just the right answer for that.
Photo from Beth Dacuma
Through realism, she can express and illustrate her own reality.
“It helps me appreciate the small details I might have missed before, turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.”
National and Global Recognition
Painting not only helped Miss Beth heal but also paved the way for her national and global achievements.
Her painting collections, such as bubble wrap, tiger, and honey, were featured on national television. Moreover, she was also recognized by The National Commission for Culture and Arts by having her works featured in the Siningspirasyon Segment.
Screenshots from Beth Dacuma
Miss Beth Dacuma was also able to put her work out globally. Her exhibitions were featured in Egypt, Guatemala, India, Belgium, and Iran.
“As a member of the ‘Voice of International Professional Art Association’ in New York City, I am actively engaged in the international art community, reflecting my dedication to artistic excellence and global connection.”
Furthermore, Miss Beth’s most significant achievement is being recognized and selected as one of the 100 artists featured in Time Square in New York on July 2, 2023. She told us that the experience was unreal and overwhelming. She was astonished at how she earned a place with other talented individuals. Her achievement made all her hard work worth it.

Beth Dacuma’s Most Memorable Piece

Beth Dacuma— A teacher, An Artist
Aside from being an artist, Miss Beth is also a passionate and committed teacher. She shared how she effectively balances her painting commissions and being a full-time teacher. She is still able to pursue her passion for art and, at the same time, teaching.

To: Artists, From: An Artist
Here’s a little message from Miss Beth to aspiring artists who are scared to learn by themselves— Go out of your comfort zone, make mistakes, and learn from them.
“Embrace the uncertainty. It’s scary, but that’s where the magic happens. Your unique style and voice won’t be found in a comfort zone. Make mistakes, learn from them, and let your art evolve. It’s not just about creating something beautiful; it’s about expressing yourself authentically.”
Photo from Beth Dacuma
Art is more than a strike and stroke of a brush. Art can become an avenue for people to find themselves, for people to heal fully, and for people to pursue the things they have always wanted. Miss Beth Dacuma’s story tells us that there is beauty beyond the disasters; you just need to look harder.

Casino games come in different forms, some focusing on luck while others capitalize on skills. And as the online casino industry has grown, many players have opted to play baccarat. After all, online baccarat banks on chance, making it easy to follow and play. But before you start placing wagers on this game, let’s show you how to ensure the odds are in your favor:
Playing Baccarat to Win
In any baccarat game, there will be two types of players. The first shows up to the game unprepared and hopes luck will favor them. The second does their homework and shows up with several tactics to streamline their efforts for a big win. And while baccarat is a game of chance, the second player always has the upper hand. How can you also get it?
1.Learn the Rules
To the outside world, baccarat is a complicated game. But to someone who understands its ins and outs, this game is quite simple. The game uses standard decks with 52 cards. The players must decide whether the outcome will favor the bank, the player, or a tie. After this, the croupier deals two cards to the player and two to the bank. The count closest to nine wins. Third cards can get dealt depending on the circumstances, but the winner’s determination remains unchanged.

2.Practice the Game
You do not want to walk into a game when you have never played it. As such, you should play several practice games before playing a baccarat game. In this regard, you have two options: a.Join a demo game: Many online baccarat sites offer free games where you can test your understanding of the game. The games follow the same gameplay as cash games but do not require any cash. Of course, even if you win, the wins are virtual. b.Play with friends: If people around you understand how the game works, they can join the gameplay. Otherwise, you can hire someone to act as the croupier and deal the cards so you can see how the game works. Practicing will not make you an expert. However, it will help you understand where you can go wrong and how you can avoid rookie mistakes. It is also a great way to protect your finances, as you will not use any money when enjoying these games.

3.Use Bonuses
The casino world has grown fast, resulting in increased interest from different players. This variety works in your favor, as most sites offer bonuses and rewards if you join them. The options include: a.Signup bonuses: These are available to you if you register on a site. b.Deposit bonuses: These apply to players who have funded their accounts. c.Loyalty bonuses: You can qualify for these by playing on a site for a long time. Others are referral and high-roller bonuses. While these rewards help you reduce your spending and risk, you should choose those that best align with your goals. For example, free spins will not help your baccarat quest. Instead, you would benefit more from free money, which can buy tickets for the next baccarat game.

4.Set a Spending Limit
Playing for money is a great way to make profits. But to ensure profitability, you must start with a baseline on how much you can spend. Below is a simple way to go about this: a.Determine what you can afford: You should only invest money you are willing to lose. So, start by being honest with yourself about your finances. b.Load your account with the set amount: Say you can spend $400 on games each month. Put this aside so that you will know to stop playing when you deplete the amount. c.Practice with demo games: Whenever you are not playing to make money, use free games instead, as they do not incur any expenses. d.Do not chase losses: Losing is part of the game. If you encounter such surprises, do not try to recoup your money by playing more. e.Have a financial goal: You must determine how much you want to make from the games. For example, if you want to make $200 from a $100 budget, include this in your plan. Treat the game like a business; you will have a better chance of maintaining a winning streak.

5.Stay Objective
Remember that the game hinges on chance at each stage, and no strategy can change this. As a result, the best way to stay ahead of the competition is to do the following: a.Avoid making subjective wagers: You may think a hand will win because you have a gut feeling. And while nothing is wrong with this, you should not be so invested in a hand. It only creates room for chasing losses based on a hunch. b.Do not use strategies to win: No strategy can help you win the game. If anything, they can only help you manage your finances. For example, you can use a strategy that halves your wager each time you lose. That will not affect your winning chances but can help you reduce your overall spending.

Finally, play with a clear head. Drugs and alcohol adversely affect your decision-making and can hinder the positive effects of all the tactics discussed in this guide.
