SMOG

Spotlight Wire

SMOG is a Solana-based meme coin that gained significant attention due to its innovative airdrop campaign and multichain expansion. Launched on February 7, 2024, SMOG experienced a rapid rise in price and market cap, reaching an undiluted market cap of $50 million within days of its launch. However, it pulled back since, currently it has a market cap of around $34 million presents an interesting entry point.

The coin's airdrop campaign, which incentivises users to buy and hold SMOG tokens to earn airdrop points, has been a major factor in its success. SMOG has since expanded to Ethereum, meaning potential investors can now buy the coin on the ERC-20 network too.

SMOG's community is active on social media platforms such as Twitter, Discord, and Telegram, and the project has been praised for its experienced marketing team and security measures, such as a third-party security firm locking liquidity funds and the team renouncing ownership of the SMOG token contract.

The coin's roadmap includes the introduction of staking features and future airdrop launches, and it has been called a potential investment opportunity for those interested in Solana-based meme coins such as BONK or WIF.

Bitcoin Minetrix
Bitcoin Minetrix is a tokenized cloud mining platform that allows users to mine Bitcoin (BTC) in a decentralised manner, eliminating the need for expensive hardware and high electricity costs. Instead, users can earn Bitcoin mining rewards by staking BTCMTX tokens, which generate ‘mining credits’ that grant access to cloud mining hash power.

Bitcoin Minetrix has raised $10.8 million during its ongoing presale, with a soft cap of $15 million. The platform is set to expand its mining infrastructure and is planning major exchange listings to increase worldwide access and liquidity. A mobile app is also in development to enhance convenience for users.

The decentralised nature of Bitcoin Minetrix's model provides security advantages over centralised cloud mining providers. As it continues to scale, Bitcoin Minetrix offers an easy entrance point into Bitcoin mining for crypto enthusiasts.
