.@takiapp is a #socialnetwork that brings the old ‘engage to earn’ model in a new package, with #crypto tokens as rewards

.@takiapp is a new #socialnetwork that, at first sight, seems to mimic Twitter and Facebook – after all, there are only so many ways to create a timeline of posts. But Taki comes with a twist – it rewards its users in the form of #crypto tokens, not likes or comments. Image
Building a #socialnetwork is not an easy task, and neither is creating a crypto token that stands out in a sea of #cryptocurrencies and tokens. But bringing the two together could seem like a novel idea that might just help a company stand out from the rest.

#crypto Image
@takiapp is designed to be a secure, safe and tech superior product that enables social enthusiasts to consume, invest, share, transact and build a token-based content portfolio,” said Sakina Arsiwala (@heysakina) co-founder, Taki.

#Crypto Image
The @takiapp crypto token is built on the Solana (@solana) blockchain, promising fast and inexpensive transactions. The Solana blockchain is also one of the most energy-efficient blockchains in the world, addressing concerns of power efficiency as well.

#Crypto Image
There have been dime a dozen apps that have tried to attract users using in-app coins. But @takiapp is different in the sense that it actually uses crypto tokens, also called Taki, which can be converted into actual money once these tokens are listed on crypto exchanges.

#Crypto Image
In a conversation with Business Insider, @takiapp co-founder Sakina Arsiwala (@heysakina) described this concept as “user economy”, giving creators and #influencers the power to leverage their audience, thanks to their own crypto tokens.

#Crypto Image
Users who like a post made by anyone on @takiapp can reward them using Taki tokens. Additionally, to motivate users to post rewarding content and their followers to reward these creators, Taki has a reward-sharing concept in place.

#Crypto
Users who want to cash out can do so by converting their Taki tokens to any other #cryptocurrency or fiat on cryptocurrency exchanges, once the Taki tokens are listed. Arsiwala says her company is working with crypto exchanges to get the Taki token listed.

#Crypto
Solana (@solana) has also partnered with Taki (@takiapp) to set up a $2.5 million fund to bring creators on the platform. Wider fundraising details are not known yet, though.

#Brahmastra wipes out over ₹800 crore wealth of PVR and Inox #investors

businessinsider.in/stock-market/n…

By @jainrounak
Forget making back money, it looks like Brahmastra is taking down PVR & Inox investors with itself. With early reviews pouring cold water on #Brahmastra’s prospects, India’s largest theater chains PVR & Inox have cumulatively lost over ₹800 crore in market capitalization today.
In Indian mythology, #Brahmastra is known as a weapon of unstoppable destruction, which can only be stopped by its counterattack astra (weapon). Ironically, the movie could end up being a victim of the weapon it is named after.

By @jainrounak
#KingCharlesIII takes over as the British monarch after the death of #QueenElizabethII, and that will lead to a demonetisation in the UK. New coins and currency notes will be minted and printed after the designs are approved.

#QueenElizabeth
The death of #QueenElizabethII has given the British monarchy its first King after over 70 years. The old coins and notes will be slowly phased out of circulation.

The old coins and notes featuring #QueenElizabeth II will continue to be legal tender for the time being.
