Peter Janssen Transitions Focus to Investing in Digital Assets with FirstBlock Capital

March 25, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

The venture capitalist believes Web3 will transform wealth

FirstBlock Capital LLC, (“FirstBlock Capital”) helmed by venture capitalist Peter Janssen, has announced his new focus on investing in cryptocurrency and digital assets. He plans to deploy capital across blockchain and digital asset start-ups and public tokens. With the rise of cryptocurrencies, he believes this is a timely investment opportunity.

Cryptocurrency is a new form of money representing disruptive technology, liquid public markets and programmable blockchains. Navigating this space requires an approach operating at the intersection between cryptography, game theory, and network economics.

Based on Janssen’s research, he believes cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are revolutionizing how people interact with the digital world. FirstBlock Capital believes that it is at the forefront of this movement and well-positioned to capitalize on this volatile ecosystem. As the founder of FirstBlock Capital, Janssen has more than 10 years of experience in venture investing, trading, and portfolio management. He first became interested in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, but quickly realized its potential to be much more than just another fad and could change how money is viewed forever.

“I am very excited about transitioning my focus and deploying my strategy into this nascent asset class,” Janssen said. “I believe Web3 is the future and will create the greatest transformation of wealth in our lifetime. Crypto/blockchain is still in the early innings, and I am prepared to dedicate my career to helping develop this globally connected digital asset class.”

Web3 is often used when discussing decentralized applications (DApps) and the blockchain ecosystem. It refers to the idea that there should be a global Web3 infrastructure in which all DApps can interact. This would enable things like seamless cryptocurrency payments and data sharing between different DApps. Web3 is still in its early stages, but many projects and investors are already working on building this infrastructure, including FirstBlock Capital.

The future is now and it’s not just technology that has changed, but also how people work with each other. According to The World Economic Forum, blockchain will store 10 percent of the world’s GDP by 2027, which means $8 trillion worth in 5 years. This figure represents an increase from today’s crypto market cap. Companies are investing heavily into researching this new tech, and 81 out of 100 top publicly traded firms are conducting research or are already using cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

“The magnitude of this industry speaks to the magnitude of the opportunity before us: crypto is not only the future of finance but, as with the internet in the early days, is poised to transform all aspects of our lives,” Janssen said. “We believe blockchain will be the next evolution of the internet. That’s because it makes all kinds of transactions, data and information decentralized and immutable, and relays and stores it more efficiently and cheaper. We look to invest in and partner with projects building paradigm-shifting technologies from the earliest stages to and through the liquid market journey.”

Press Release can be defined as a piece of story that contains useful information related to your business. If you’re doing press releases, then you should keep in mind the benefits of press release.

With the help of a press release, you can let others know about new developments or updates in your services. Getting exposure towards media outlets and your target audience is the main purpose of doing a press release. But the purpose of a press release should be to educate people about yourself.

So following are some of the mistakes to avoid in a press release:

  • Bad Press Release Headline

Headline is the most important component of any press release as it gives the benefits of press release and introduction or you can say a short hint about the topic and person to whom a press release is written. Whenever any person is about to go through a press release or search it on the internet, the headline is the first thing that he views.

  • Unnecessary Information in your Press Release

Information is the main element that is provided to readers via press releases. More the information is valuable and newsworthy, the more the people will trust you and would like to develop a solid rock business relationship with you.

Providing information is essential but including the content beyond the necessary limit will lead to the loss of interest as no one wants to waste all of their time reading the content and get nothing.

  • Not Using AP Format while writing Press Releases

AP format is the widely adopted pattern for writing press releases that has been set as standard by Associated Press, the world’s largest news organization. In case if you are not following the AP format, then you should implement this format for press release writing as soon as you can. 

The reason is that the journalists who receive a lot of PRs always follow the standard format.

Journalists will never provide coverage or publish any kind of press release that appears to be confusing and difficult to absorb. Following are some rules while writing in AP format:

  1. Always use the third person whether singular or plural
  2. For numbers from 1 to 9, write them down in a press release as alphabets whereas the above numbers should be written as numerals.
  3. There should be one spacing after punctuation or a comma between a sentence.

Global News Distribution is right there to help you out in avoiding such mistakes. All you have to do is to visit the pricing page and begin an awesome journey towards success: https://news-distribution.com/press-release-pricing/

Medical Device Additive Manufacturing Market to exceed US$ 4,440.5 million by 2027 says, The Insight Partners

March 24, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

Medical Device Additive Manufacturing Market for Laser Sintering to Grow at Highest CAGR during 2020–2027

According to The Insight Partners new market research study on “Medical Device Additive Manufacturing Market to 2027 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis– by Technology, Product, and Application,” the market is expected to reach US$ 4,440.5 million by 2027 from US$ 1,350.4 million in 2019; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 16.2% from 2020 to 2027. Factors such increasing demand for additive manufacturing in healthcare, and rising incidence of musculoskeletal and dental diseases are expected to boost the growth of the global medical device additive manufacturing market. However, the market is limited by exorbitant costs of automated medical device additive manufacturing during the forecast period.

Additive manufacturing is a technique used for manufacturing rapid prototypes as well as functional parts. The use of additive manufacturing in the medical industry has increased in the recent years owing to technological advancements. With the rising adoption of additive manufacturing in the healthcare sector, the scope for customization and innovation of medical devices has increased considerably over the last few years.

Download sample PDF Copy of Medical Device Additive Manufacturing Market study at: https://www.theinsightpartners.com/sample/TIPHE100000975/

3D Systems, Inc., GE Additives,Materialise NV, 3T Additive Manufacturing Limited, Renishawplc, Stratasys Ltd, Vaupell, Inc.,Precision ADM Inc, EOS GmbH, and Allevi, Inc. are among the leading companies operating in the medical device additive manufacturing market.

The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan (China), and with its spread to ~100 countries across the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) termed it a pandemic with public health emergency. In North America, the US has been profoundly affected by the outbreak. For instance, California-based Airwolf3D Company has proposed its fleet of 3D printers for the manufacturing of respirator valves and custom medical components. The company is also contributing remote technical support for medical staff that would be willing to know more about 3D printing. The use of 3D printing and additive manufacturing for the development of medical supplies and instruments in emergency is likely to be a prime opportunity for the market players.

Based on technology, the medical device additive manufacturing market is segmented into laser sintering, stereolithography, electron beam melting, and extrusion. In 2019, the laser-sintering segment accounted for the highest share of the market. The market growth of this segment is attributed to the fact that there is no need to provide support structures for fragile and thin parts of devices, unlike the devices produced with the use of stereolithography. Further, high precision in geometries achieved by laser sintering is not possible with any other technology; thus, the market for this segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the 2020–2027.

Various established players in this sector have been investing significant amounts of their revenue in research and development activities for the development of better and advanced products as well as technologies. Also, the availability of reimbursement for various medical procedures is contributing to the growth of the sector.

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, holds great potential to transform the conventional process of manufacturing of medical products and components. Additive manufacturing allows companies to provide extensive customization based on the individual patient requirements for medical applications. This helps save time and efforts by allowing the manufacturing of medical devices and implants that are ideal fit for patient’s needs. The technique helps overcome the constraints of traditional manufacturing methods—mainly associated with the mass customization; fabrication; milling, casting, and forging; and so on.

Tonner-One World Partners with Uneeq to Launch Digital Human Technology

March 21, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

Tonner-One World Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:TONR)

Tonner-One World has announced that it will become the first OTC publicly-traded company to use a digital human as an Investor Relations agent, through its partnership with Uneeq, a global developer of artificial intelligence.The digital human, affectionately known as Elizabeth, will provide users with detailed information and updates from company filings, reports, news, events, and more.

“Since this is the exact technology we will be selling to Municipal, County, State, and Federal Government partners, there is no better test case for deployment than to enhance our ability to communicate with shareholders, stated Charles Potter, Emerging Technology Consultant to the Company. “Through the power of artificial intelligence, Tonner-One World has made possible a dynamic where shareholders can get information, on-demand, any time of day or night from a friendly and engaging representative without the company incurring excessive labor costs,” he added.

“At her core, Elizabeth will be exactly what every company that really cares about shareholders wants. She will always be available, she will give the right answers every time and she will only communicate information based on previously disclosed data, thus avoiding accidental or inaccurate information dissemination,” said Corinda Joanne Melton, CEO. “With our real-time ability to input into Elizabeth’s logic tree, the Company can quickly and effectively respond to news, information, and even some of the “false narratives” in social media that could lead to uniformed, negative sentiment in the marketplace for our company stock,” she added.

To begin her learning process, Elizabeth will be deployed on Thursday, March 24, at 1 pm CST in a live test environment on the Tonner-One World website. At the time of launch, she will have a limited set of responses to specific questions but users will be encouraged to ask any relevant questions to assist in the development of her knowledge base. As Elizabeth functions in a real-world environment, she will learn from her interactions and as her virtual intellect begins to expand, she will become more engaging through the development of her own personality traits.

The company is inviting everyone to register for access to Elizabeth during beta testing by logging onto tonnerow.com/ir-agent.
