Jack Dorsey’s Twitter dispute regarding Coinbase’s apparent management of Bitcoin and the Lightning Network raised issues about the platform’s commitment to innovation. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong addressed the concerns by noting that they are actively studying Lightning Network integration and its benefits. He also believed in Bitcoin’s huge payment potential. The Lightning Network solves scalability difficulties and speeds up and lowers Bitcoin transactions as a second-layer protocol. Coinbase’s acknowledgement of its utility shows its commitment to Bitcoin innovation in the industry. Armstrong said that Coinbase has introduced more people to Bitcoin than any other company. This demonstrates their dedication to promoting cryptocurrency acceptance and accessibility in the market. We’re looking into how to best add Lightning. It’s non-trivial, but I think worth doing. I’m all for payments taking off in Bitcoin. Not sure why you think we’re ignoring Bitcoin – we’ve onboarded more people to Bitcoin than probably any company in the world. Let’s build it… https://t.co/9dFGYd6XZt — Brian Armstrong 🛡️ (@brian_armstrong) August 2, 2023 The two chief executive officers of both companies ended their talk in a pleasant tone. They emphasize their support for cryptocurrency partnerships. Coinbase’s pursuit of Lightning Network integration shows its commitment to staying at the top of the cryptocurrency market. Dorsey has attacked Ethereum and Solana’s centralized governance and corporate involvement. He proposes settling Bitcoin transactions using the Lightning Network, which is instant and free. During the Bitcoin memecoin craze in May, when transaction fees exceeded $30, the Lightning Network stopped working and was sluggish. Binance used Bitcoin’s Lightning Network to avoid base layer fee increases, however, withdrawal requests were delayed. In contrast, Coinbase has not yet conformed to the aforementioned trend, despite receiving requests from Bitcoin enthusiasts such as Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy. Spiral, Dorsey’s payment startup, created tools to let developers integrate the Lightning Network into their apps. Furthermore, the payment service known as CashApp has already incorporated Lightning, a commonly utilized feature. These discussions and developments highlight the need to balance technological innovation, such as the Lightning Network. It is also global investor demand for stablecoins. The trajectory of Bitcoin transactions in the future will be conditional upon the identification and establishment of a shared foundation among these variables. In conclusion, the discourse underscores the importance of investigating nascent technologies. It includes the Lightning Network to enhance the functionalities of Bitcoin and facilitate its extensive acceptance. Through collaborative efforts and innovative approaches, the community involved in cryptocurrencies has the potential to collaboratively establish a financial environment. It will also feature fairness and equality in the years to come.   SOURCE : https://tradertalks-net.translate.goog/s/13995?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=auto&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Jaguar Health Inc (NASDAQ: JAGX) stock surged 35.92% on June 11th, 2019 (Source: Google finance) after the company’s wholly-owned human-health subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceutical Inc, will receive preclinical services from the federal government to support the development of drug candidate lechlemer to treat cholera. The stock opened gap down today, falling over 9.9% (As of 12 Jun, 9:36 am GMT-4; Source: Google finance) Napo Pharmaceutical Inc produces Lechlemer, which is a drug candidate under the botanical guidance of the US Food and Drug Administration. It is a standardized and proprietary botanical extract that is distinct from mytesi, Napo’s FDA-approved drug. Contractors funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases will conduct toxicology testing for seven-day rat and dog studies. NIAID is part of the National Institutes of Health. It is expected that Lechlemer will be an effective treatment options for Cholera. This is an acute diarrheal illness that is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which infects the intestine. Meanwhile, Lechlemer is still in early stages of development, the candidate comes with incredible market potential. According to the World Health Organization, between 1.3 million and 4 million people will be affected by cholera annually. Unfortunately, more than 100,000 patients per year will die from the ailment. While the condition is generally mild, about 10% of the patient population will experience severe symptoms. This includes profuse diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps. In this patient population, the rapid loss of body fluids generally leads to dehydration and shock. In fact, many who do not undergo treatment pass away within hours as a result of the symptoms. Further, there are not many treatment options that have been proven effective against cholera. Mytesi, an approved treatment of Jaguar Health, is an option, it is also incredibly expensive to produce, therefore the cost to the patient is high and margins are slim. However, Lechlemer is far less expensive to produce, and may be just as effective, if not moreso. JAGX will be able to benefit from larger margins. So, if Lechlemer gets the approval by the FDA, JAGX and its subsidiary, Napo, could get a blockbuster treatment option. The Company had already presented Phase 2 data previously on crofelemer for the treatment of devastating dehydration in cholera patients from the renowned International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research (icddr,b) in Bangladesh. Napo plans to follow the same study design for lechlemer On the other hand, the company has recently strengthened the balance sheet through the elimination of more than $6 million in promisorry notes and recently restructured debt, long term operations will likely require further fund injections, which likely means dilution ahead.

Jaguar land Rover, who is under the ownership of Tata Motors Limited (ADR) (NYSE: TTM) has said that its mobility service business, InMotion Ventures would $25 million in U.S. ride service company Lyft Inc. to help develop and test technology for self-driving cars. This is a strategic investment for both the companies to get innovating new mobility solutions for the customers. Up until now Lyft has mainly focused their attentions on the U.S market but they expect the service to be active in 300 countries by the end of the year. Last week, Jaguar land Rover had predicted that self-driving cars could be on British roads within 15 years, which could mean people born today never have to learn to drive. InMotion will also supply Lyft with a fleet of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles and this investment follows InMotion’s recent seed investment in SPLT, the Detroit-based digital carpool business, which works with Lyft to provide non-emergency medical transport. The investment shows that the automakers are hedging their bets in the competitive ride-hailing market. Tata Group, which owns Tata Motors and Jaguar, previously invested at least $100 million in Uber, and they formed a financing partnership in India last year. InMotion Ventures was set up last year to invest in new transport technologies. Jaguar land Rover has been testing its autonomous research vehicles on a 44-mile stretch near its Coventry headquarters. There has been increased interest in mobility companies such as Uber and Lyft after it has been predicted that personal car ownership will decline and ride-sharing will become more prolific. Further, the auto industry and technology companies are competing to develop self-driving technology, which in the years to come is expected to transform transportation by cutting costs of ride services and changing the way people buy and sell cars. The Uber rival would also offer with a fleet of vehicles by JLR to test the driverless technology on. This is not the first time the automaker has joined forces with Lyft to work on this technology with General Motorists and Google’s autonomous car maker Waymo previously doing so. Lyft has previously worked with General Motors and Google’s autonomous car manufacturer Waymo on self-driving vehicles. General Motors Co., which is a major Lyft investor and partner, started working with Uber last year on car-sharing after rolling out a similar program with Lyft. Meanwhile, Uber has allies of its own and has agreements with Daimler AG and Volvo Cars on autonomous technology. It has also spent hundreds of millions on self-driving technology developed in-house, which is currently being tested with customers on public roads.

Facebook Inc’s (NASDAQ:FB) vice president Diego Dzodan returned from a 24-hour stay in jail Brazil, as his company chose to dispute local court orders seeking encrypted WhatsApp messages of drug traffickers. He was treated with a “lot of respect,” the top official was quoted as saying at a MIT, Sloan School of Management’s conference on Latin American business trends, on Saturday. Dzodan was jailed on Tuesday, as Facebook failed to comply with the orders of the Brazilian investigators. The VP, based in Sao Paulo, said that the Facebook does not have access to data, as it is “secured” when travelling on its messaging product, WhatsApp. Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) non-compliance with the official request resulted in Dzodan’s arrest. Encryption, Block access Dzodan’s remarks on his arrest and the reasons for the same were made during a question-and-answer session with the students. After his talk about innovation and the social networking approach to it, Dzodan shared that his detention will not affect the company’s plans in the country. He explained that WhatsApp messaging platform is designed for encrypted travel of data from one phone user to the next, with no “information stored;” making it “impossible for” Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) to access any of the information. Detention Will Not Interrupt Brazilian foray Dzodan, also assured that this unsavoury incident in Brazil would not be stopping the company with continuing its expansion services. The VP said that, Facebook remained “extremely committed” to its Brazilian operations as users of this Latin American country “really like Facebook.”  We are focused “long term” in this market, Dzodan reiterated to questions on Facebook’s future in the country. The investigating officials have refused to discuss their “demand” for data from WhatsApp messaging service in 2014, as “on-going” criminal investigations would be affected. Official spokesman for Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), has however, issued a statement that the detention was an “extreme, disproportionate measure.” The Sao Paulo incident involving the Facebook official and the country’s investigating agency is very similar to a high-profile public spat between Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Federal investigators in the US, over criminal investigations.
