NFTs: Empowering artists and charities to embrace the digital movement
Depending who you ask, NFTs are either a new and exciting way to invest, or a bearish, overhyped sector. Regardless, journalists, investors and collectors have paid significant attention to the growing NFT market in the past year. NFTs continue to be one of the most popular Web3 entry points, an opportunity for everyone from casual art fans to crypto billionaires to own a unique asset stored on the blockchain.
As NFT visionaries have recently pointed out, NFTs also have the potential to be used for incredible causes beyond digital asset collection. In the past six months, communities have launched NFTs to raise support for causes like testicular cancer, human trafficking and the war in Ukraine. While many believe the NFT trend is finally on the path to sustainable growth, its potential as a tool for charities is poised to reach exciting new highs in the coming months.

Twitter and Google cannot be held liable for fake advertisements making it seem that Dutch celebrities want people to invest in cryptocurrency. Presenter Jort Kelder and a few others filed a case against the tech companies, but the court in Amsterdam rejected their claim on Wednesday.
According to the judge, the creators of the ads are responsible for the posts via Google and tweets on Twitter. Google and Twitter do enough to counter this phenomenon and, therefore, cannot be blamed, the court ruled.
Google must provide Kelder with data about the creators of the fake ads. Twitter does not have to because the plaintiffs have not made sufficiently clear why they need this data.
Google said in response: “We are working hard to stop fraudsters on our platform and are pleased that the court has recognized our efforts today.”
The lawsuit against Google revolved around advertisements made to look like news items, thereby misleading consumers. Jort Kelder filed the case along with Alexander Klopping, Arjen Lubach, and Willem Middelkoop. Kelder called the ruling a Pyrrhic victory that…
It all started with a bit of altcoin called Litecoin. A year ago, it was worth $3.33. But since it’s a cryptocurrency (and now we know what cryptocurrency is) and because it is tied to the Bitcoin network, it has become extremely popular with gamblers worldwide. If you’re looking to cash in on some of that newfound popularity, you probably shouldn’t participate in any form of gambling with litecoins. However, suppose you are a gambler who enjoys playing the slots or betting with virtual currency. In that case, there are plenty of different types of digital coins that are worth considering instead. So which one should you give your money to? Let’s take a look at some factors that might help decide that.
Is Gambling with Litecoin Legal?
If you’re looking to gamble with Litecoin, then it’s essential that you know if it is legal in your jurisdiction. To be more specific, nine countries have expressly banned crypto-currency in gambling. These include Curacao, Cyprus, Estonia, France, Italy, Latvia, Malta, and Poland. However, several other countries have either not…
