Trust & Will Completes First eWill in Minnesota with State Senator Bonnie Westlin

Trust & Will

Trust & Will, the leading digital estate planning and settlement platform in the U.S., completed the first electronic will (eWill) in Minnesota in collaboration with State Senator Bonnie Westlin to kick off National Make-A-Will Month. Using the trustandwill.com platform and an electronic signing with a mobile notary and Minnesota resident Mark Fleming, Notary Public at Nationwide Apostille Services LLC (Veteran-Owned), Senator Westlin completed the first eWill on August 1, 2023, creating the state's first end-to-end-digital-estate plan. To make creating and executing a will more convenient and affordable for all Minnesotans, Senator Westlin ushered the Uniform Electronic Wills Act through the legislature. The bill passed both the House and Senate unanimously and was signed into law by Governor Tim Walz on March 30, 2023. "The Uniform Electronic Wills Act will streamline the estate planning process by leveraging technology to make it easier for people to prepare and execute their wills,” said Senator Westlin. “I’m proud to be chief author of this bill and to see it pass with full bipartisan support.” Minnesota is the 13th jurisdiction to pass eWill legislation, following Nevada, Indiana, Arizona, Florida, Utah, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, North Dakota, Idaho, Washington, and the District of Columbia. Several other states are introducing eWill legislation in the coming months, as less than one-third of Americans have a will. Trust & Will has long been a committed advocate for making electronic wills legally valid nationwide as a part of their mission to make the generational transfer of wealth more accessible, cost-effective, and efficient to all. “Electronic wills remove several barriers inherent in traditional estate planning,” said Cody Barbo, Founder and CEO at Trust & Will. “Every family should have access to justice and legal technology to make their lives easier. Estate planning, a vital element of ensuring the next generation's well-being, should be accessible to everyone.” With the help of a variety of policymakers, Trust & Will has been working to promote the adoption of legislation governing electronic estate plans, including the Uniform Law Commission’s Uniform Electronic Estate Planning Documents Act, as well as educating the public about the benefits of electronic estate planning. To learn more about eWills and receive updates, visit: trustandwill.com/electronic-wills. ABOUT TRUST & WILL Trust & Will is simplifying estate planning and settlement with attorney-approved, legally valid documents and processes designed to adhere to individual state guidelines. Since 2017, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of Trust & Will members leave their legacy with an affordable way to create an estate plan or settle the estate of a loved one.

Can Dogecoin and Shiba Inu Holders Get the Same Returns With Pomerdoge?

Blockchain Digest

The crypto market is preparing for another rally and investors are looking for the most promising prospects. Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pomerdoge (POMD) are considered top contenders for the leaders of the bull market. However, which of these three leading meme coins do market analysts favor to yield the most returns? Click Here To Find Out More About The Pomerdoge (POMD) Presale Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Outlook The top meme coin, Dogecoin (DOGE) was one of the top gainers last week following links to X, rebranded from Twitter. The Dogecoin community still holds out hope over DOGE being integrated as the payment option into X. The rumors sparked a 14% price spike for Dogecoin and crypto experts believe more could come soon. The rally sent the price of DOGE as high as $0.0825. However, the bullish momentum has cooled off, and DOGE now trades at $0.07918. Crypto trader, Kaleo, has predicted that if DOGE gets integrated into X, the coin could rally. The trader predicts that the price of DOGE will eventually reclaim the $0.10 level. This prediction represents a 30% price increase from its current price. How High Can Shiba Inu (SHIB) Go After Shibarium Launch? The highly-anticipated layer-2 network launch for Shiba Inu, Shibarium, is only two weeks away. As a result, Shiba Inu investors are bullish, predicting another rally. Anticipating the launch, Shiba Inu sharks and dolphins have been amassing SHIB tokens. But how high can SHIB go? Shiba Inu currently trades at $0.000008393, gaining 10% over the last month. Positive sentiments for SHIB are at a high as traders anticipate a rally in the next two weeks. A 20% price rally has been predicted for SHIB to reclaim the $0.0000100 resistance. On-chain metrics from QuantCrypto support a long-term bull run for Shiba Inu if the launch of its layer-2 network is successful. In addition, it would help Shiba Inu slowly shed its “meme coin” tag and could be bullish for the token. Analysts Predict Pomerdoge (POMD) Will Dominate P2E Pomerdoge (POMD) is a new project that combines the play-to-earn (P2E) sector with the Doge theme of meme coins. This new P2E game offers thrilling gameplay with unique avatars known as Pomerdoges, along with the chance to earn while gaming. The Pomerdoge ecosystem also includes NFTs, a social infrastructure where gamers can interact and enter competitions. In addition, gamers and investors also have a chance to win massive prizes of up to $100,000 through various contests and giveaways. The massive opportunities Pomerdoge presents have amplified the excitement surrounding this new P2E game. Crypto experts have predicted that the hype could help Pomerdoge become one of the foremost leaders in the P2E space this year. Powering the Pomerdoge ecosystem is the POMD utility token. Top analysts have predicted that POMD is a top contender for substantial gains in this year's bull market. Now trading at an attractive $0.007, the token has been forecasted to rise by more than 4,000% before the end of the year.

News Release

Is the Bitcoin Bull Run Over? Tradecurve Tipped To Deliver 100x Gains

Total Media

In this article, we delve into the uncertain future of Bitcoin (BTC) following its remarkable bull run, posing the question: Is it over? Amidst this uncertainty, the bright star of Tradecurve (TCRV) shines ever brighter, with predictions showing potential for a staggering 100x gain in 2023. >>Register For The Tradecurve Presale<< Bitcoin (BTC) Weekly Bearish Divergence Bitcoin (BTC) has recently been in the spotlight due to a notable price surge from $24,800 to $31,000 within a mere fortnight. However, Bitcoin is currently grappling with significant resistance levels around the $31,000 mark, resulting in a modest price dip in recent days. Much of this heightened activity around Bitcoin can be traced back to the anticipation of a spot Bitcoin ETF. If given the green light, this development could usher in a wave of fresh investment into the Bitcoin market from traditional investors. Despite the anticipation, the ambiguity associated with the potential ETF approval has induced fluctuations in Bitcoin prices. Technical analysts are drawing attention to a bearish weekly divergence, indicating a tapering off of the previous bullish momentum. Currently, the $30,000 mark stands as a robust support level. However, if Bitcoin plunges below $29,000, it could trigger a surge in selling pressure, possibly driving Bitcoin down toward $25,000 or potentially even lower. Such a scenario would likely prompt buyers to re-enter the market, aiming to capitalize on the lower price levels. Tradecurve (TCRV) 100x Gains Ahead Tradecurve ( TCRV ) is an innovative trading platform offering users secure and anonymous trading across a multitude of assets. They include stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and forex. Market analysts project that Tradecurve's unique approach may position it to outstrip the likes of Binance and other conventional exchanges. One of Tradecurve's standout features is its seamless onboarding process. Unlike many other exchanges that require exhaustive KYC checks, Tradecurve forgoes this protocol, enabling users to commence trading immediately with no need to part with personal information. With just a valid email address and some cryptocurrency for collateral, users can unlock the wealth of trading opportunities Tradecurve offers. This allows for carefree trading without concerns about identity theft or other security issues often associated with centralized exchanges. Moreover, Tradecurve empowers its users with an array of advanced trading tools. AI-driven trading algorithms, comprehensive analytics, and the option to copy successful trading strategies are all features. They are designed to help users maximize their trading profits. Being a TCRV holder comes with numerous perks. They include earning passive income via staking, accessing VIP account benefits, and availing discounts on transaction fees. TCRV tokens are available at an affordable price of $0.025 during the fourth presale phase. Analysts are drawing comparisons between Tradecurve's potential growth trajectory and the exceptional rise of Binance. Binance's ICO price of $0.11 skyrocketed to a staggering $313, suggesting a similar success story could be in the cards for Tradecurve. The recent SEC crackdown on centralized exchanges for non-compliance with regulations. It is paving the way for Tradecurve to rise as a secure and unrestricted alternative. Therefore, Tradecurve and its TCRV token are poised for significant growth. This with some analysts predicting that the crypto could rise to an astonishing 100x by 2023.

MultiversX and the "Lucian Blaga" University Unveil a New Academic Initiative

STORM Partners

Since ancient times, up to the very present, education has been and remains one of the essential pillars of any society, ensuring its progress and development, fostering innovation, and directly contributing to the well-being of its individuals. In the current context of rapid technological advancement, education plays a crucial role in equipping the society for the challenges and opportunities of the digital era. A 2022 report published by SlashData, a company that specializes in analyzing the developer economy, highlights that developers with 6 to 10 years of experience show the highest openness to work in the blockchain industry. Even though some of them are not yet seasoned enough to work in this industry, developers with less than 5 years of experience are not only interested in the technology, but they are actively seeking to learn and make a move into the field. Consequently, one of the key factors in encouraging the adoption of blockchain technology in general, and the MultiversX network in particular, could be attracting developers from the early stages of their careers, even from their university years. To foster such an environment, MultiversX has partnered with the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu (ULBS), Romania, joining five other local companies that will financially and educationally support the initiative aimed at nurturing talented young individuals in this field. Starting this autumn, the Faculty of Economic Sciences at ULBS will introduce a new undergraduate programme with an innovative and modern approach, called “Business Informatics”. This university program will be taught exclusively in English, by qualified professors, as well as specialists and entrepreneurs from the field. The specialization will offer 30 tuition-free spots for students, of which 10 spots will be state-subsidized and 20 by the 6 companies involved in this initiative. As part of the collaboration between MultiversX and ULBS, students will have the opportunity to study the “Blockchain and FinTech Applications” course during the second semester of their third academic year. This will enable them to immerse themselves in the comprehensive understanding of the MultiversX blockchain network and explore decentralized applications within the ecosystem. "Blockchain technology facilitates access to financial instruments and other digital services to anyone, anywhere in the world, while offering other advantages, such as censorship resistance, composability, high performance and cost-effectiveness. On the path to an economy based on this technology and its adoption, we fully understand the importance and necessity of high-quality educational initiatives. Education is the key that supports individual development while connecting us to the innovative potential of young people, who will become the architects of the new internet economy." stated Beniamin Mincu, CEO of MultiversX. The course dedicated to MultiversX will consist of 2 hours of lectures and 2 hours of lab work per week, for a total period of 14 weeks. Students will have the opportunity to gain both theoretical and hands-on knowledge directly from the MultiversX team members, who will be actively involved in the educational process. “The partnership between the Faculty of Economic Sciences of “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu and MultiversX contributes to the development of higher education adapted to the challenges of the digital age in studying and applying emerging technologies in economics and business, preparing students for successful careers in a changing world. Through this collaboration, both parties, students and teachers alike, will together build knowledge and innovations that can have a significant impact on society and the global economy. MultiversX demonstrates a strong commitment to education through active engagement, and this bridge between academia and business can bring mutual benefits. On the one hand, the faculty benefits from know-how through the experience of a technology leader, which enhances the quality of education offered to students. On the other hand, MultiversX benefits from opportunities for applied research and attracting new talent, contributing to the development and advancement of the technology industry.” said Assoc. Prof. Eduard Stoica, Ph.D., Vice-Dean / Faculty of Economic Sciences. This joint initiative opens new horizons and aims to shape generations of leaders ready to face the challenges of the future. The collaboration is part of MultiversX’s wider effort to contribute to the development of the entire blockchain industry. In order to stimulate the adoption within a segment that naturally exhibits an interest in new technologies, a series of other activities and events are planned. Demos, hackathons, as well as guides and other educational materials, are all intended to onboard enthusiastic young minds into the MultiversX ecosystem. About the Faculty of Economic Sciences After more than three decades of higher education in economics in Sibiu, the Faculty of Economics of the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu stands among the best economics faculties in Romania, according to international rankings. This recognition of the value of higher education in economics in Sibiu is the result of a permanent development and consolidation activity, in which students, graduates, professors, institutional partners and companies were equally involved, as well as of a favorable management context within the university. About MultiversX MultiversX is a highly scalable, secure and decentralized blockchain network created to enable radically new applications, for users, businesses, society, and the new metaverse frontier.
