Southeast Asia's Grab to offer mapping services to other firms in search for profit

 

Grab Holdings Ltd (GRAB) said on Wednesday it would offer its in-house mapping and location-based services to businesses, as Southeast Asia's No. 1 ride-hailing and food delivery firm chases profits.

GrabMaps, an internal mapping service used by the Singapore-based firm's drivers and delivery partners, is being pitched to businesses seeking hyper-local location solutions in the densely populated Southeast Asian countries.

Grab, which operates in eight countries in the region and had nearly 31 million active monthly users as of March 31, is looking to cash in on the mapping sector in Southeast Asia, expected to be worth $1 billion by 2025.

Indonesian ride-hailing and payments firm GoTo Gojek Tokopedia (GOTO) is Grab's biggest competitor, followed by Singapore-based e-commerce, gaming and digital payments firm Sea Ltd (SE).

The loss-making company, which has spent money on promotional offers and driver incentives, has said it expects reopening of offices and resumption in travel to drive a rebound in its rideshare and food delivery businesses.

U.S. could soon approve a futures-based bitcoin exchange fund.

 

One or a group of large bitcoin buyers, also called bitcoin whales, appeared to be behind Wednesday’s price pop, based on data that showed large bitcoin purchases on exchanges during early U.S. trading hours.

But why the whale – or whales – placed bitcoin buying orders of nearly $1.6 billion in a few minutes on a centralized exchange remains unclear.

At press time, bitcoin was changing hands at $54,938.47, up 7.89% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinDesk 20.

According to South Korea-based blockchain data firm CryptoQuant, someone or a group of people purchased the massive amount of bitcoin on the spot market on centralized exchanges between 13:11 and 13:16 UTC Wednesday.

The timing of the purchase came not long after U.S. Republicans shared favorable comments on cryptocurrencies and amid increased expectations from markets that the U.S. could soon approve a futures-based bitcoin exchange fund.

The purchase could have started on Coinbase, Ki Young Ju, co-founder and CEO of CryptoQuant told CoinDesk. He pointed out that “Coinbase premium” rose sharply around the same time before it dropped again.

The “Coinbase premium” is an indicator showing the gap between Coinbase’s BTC/U.S. dollar (USD) pair and Binance’s BTC/USDT pair involving the tether stablecoin. When the number increases, it usually reflects stronger buying power on Coinbase, the centralized exchange.

Bitcoin may tumbled below $30,000 in 2021

Bitcoin tumbled below the US$40,000 mark on Wednesday to a three-and-a-half-month low and dragged down the prices of other digital coins after China imposed fresh curbs on transactions involving cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin, the biggest and best-known cryptocurrency, had already been under pressure from a series of tweets from Tesla boss Elon Musk, but the news from China sent it as low as US$38,514, for a nine per cent fall. 

The cryptocurrency has tumbled nearly 40 per cent from a record high of $64,895 hit on April 14. It is also heading for its first monthly decline since November 2018.

What is Shiba Inu, Dogelon Mars and Akita Inu?

What Is SHIBA INU (SHIB)?

Once upon a time, there was a very special dog. That dog was a shiba inu, and this dog inspired millions of people around the world to invest money into tokens with the dog’s image on it.

According to the SHIBA INU website, SHIB is the “DOGECOIN KILLER” and will be listed on their own ShibaSwap, a decentralized exchange.
Who Are the Founders of SHIBA INU?

The SHIBA INU WoofPaper has three reasons why their team created SHIB:

  “We started from zero, with zero.”
  “The brilliant minds behind Shib had never collaborated before.”
  “We love Shiba Inu Dogs.”

What Makes SHIBA INU Unique?

The SHIBA INU website invites dog-inspired artists from all over the world to foster the “artistic Shiba movement” as they bring their SHIBA INU community into the NFT market.

SHIBA INU ($0.000016) has also created a campaign using Amazon Smile in order to collect donations for rescue real, live Shiba Inu dogs with the Shiba Inu Rescue Association. It has a circulating supply of 394,796,000,000,000 SHIB coins and the max. supply is not available. https://shibatoken.com/

What Is DOGELON MARS (ELON)?

As you may know, I have dedicated my life to ensuring that humanity becomes a multi-planetary species. This involves work on four front: interplanetary flight, terraforming the planet, sending settlers, and creating an interplanetary currency. I am excited to announce today the launch of our forefront in our mission to Mars. The first interplanetary currency: Dogelon.

Technically, it is is a fork of Dogecoin, in the same sense that a knife is a fork of a spoon. I have named it after the capital city of Mars: Dogelon (pronounced Dog-a-lon, not Doge Elon because that would be arrogant). The ticker is Dogelon (ELON) ($0.000007), which should help prevent any confusion. I am launching this currency today, in anticipation of bringing the first settlers to Mars, for a very specific reason: To help people take the trip with me. A lot of good people have hopes of one day reaching the Moon.

In my opinion, of course, this is a very low aspiration. We want to reach Mars and beyond. However, many of those good people are rugged, or buy scam tokens that can't be sold. For this reason, the Dogelon community pledges to send tokens over time to victims of rugs and scams, so that the worst day of their trading life can be turned into their best. And after some time, they will be able to join us on our regular flights to Mars. It has a circulating supply of 486,867,033,865,492 ELON coins and a max. supply of 1,000,000,000,000,000 ELON coins. https://dogelon.io/

 

What Is AKITA INU (AKITA)?
AKITA INU ($0.000001) is a meme-based and 100% decentralized community experiment with it claims that 1/2 the tokens have been sent to Vitalik Buterin and the other half were locked to a Uniswap pool and the keys burned. It is same as SHIBA INU but with different tokenmetrics. The circulating supply is not available and a max. supply of 100,000,000,000,000 AKITA coins. https://www.akitatoken.net/

My Bitcoin & Ethereum Mining

How Bitcoin Mining Works?

Where do bitcoins come from? With paper money, a government decides when to print and distribute money. Bitcoin doesn't have a central government.

With Bitcoin, miners use special software to solve math problems and are issued a certain number of bitcoins in exchange. This provides a smart way to issue the currency and also creates an incentive for more people to mine.

The Era of Digital Gold

The Era of Digital Gold

For over 10,000 years, humans treated physical gold as the ultimate store of value. Countless nations and currencies rose and fell, but gold remained because people valued the six properties that make it good money – scarcity, divisibility, portability, verifiability, recognizability, and fungibility.

In modern economies, fiat currencies have been brutalized by hyperinflation, war, and monetary reform, resulting in an average life expectancy of just 27 years. In an increasingly electronic financial system, digital currency offers investors an alternative: a scarce, global, apolitical, digital gold.
