Cook, however, expressed enduring optimism about China's long-term prospects, emphasizing the achievement of a new installed base 'high watermark' and robust year-over-year growth in upgrades. Enterprise Expansion: A noteworthy revelation during the earnings call was Apple's ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) strategic push into the enterprise sector.

Revomon - VR & Mobile Next Generation Monster catch MetaverseRevomon is probably one of the first promising, partly centralized partly decentralized games, based on both VR and mobile, which allows users to tame monsters and evolve them and fight other players. The game is still mostly in its early stages, however, despite being an alpha access, the game is already playable on virtualreality and mobile with various futures, such as converting collected monsters into NFTs and burning them for rewards, a clan system, a ingame marketplace, and the possibility to fight both, NPCs and other players, future planes, as well as refactoring the clan system, include an open world (with NFT lands), quests, other achievements, new revomon (= revolution monsters) and more marvelous game content will be worked on in the coming months, coupled with more ways to give users the opportunity to earn something on the side while they play.... (play2earn features) The chart currently looks kinda boring, like most crypto projects it got and still get hit hard by high emission and btc overall drop, altough the team is well funded for next 1 1/2 years and have wide options to collect more funds to keep this promising project alive. I expect to see a market recovery until end of year, with Revomon being a full game, the best candidate to grow with the market again and getting the reputation and awareness its deserves. Buying small batches, via DCA, could lead to a good exposure long term with an acceptable Risk / Reward ratio. The token is oversold in various timeframes, but holding timely better than other metaverse games. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell Revomon tokens. Do always your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose

Be fearless when people scare, be scared when people are greedyBeware MANA within the next 24 hours. I would suspect the momentum is created in a past week's downside. The volume of trading is decreasing too, the RSI is compressed below the midpoint, the support at $4.2 is strong and the bear can not break it. The Decentraland as usual open the party on their land. The Axie retook the spotlight from Decentraland and it is time for us to see the comeback of the MANA. However, in order to have a strong push, the MANA might need to go lower at 3.9 to get more momentum for the next $7.5 run. This is not financial advice and trade responsibly!

Intel FOMO - Overseas Supply - Made in America STORYTELLINGTurnaround stories can be polarizing investments -- some see the long-term potential while others see a business full of problems to overcome. HOWEVER, an OVERSEAS SUPPLY CHAIN makes it take longer and cost more money than originally thought. As with ANY company. The supply disruption is PERMANENT. If there is no actionable PLAN B...... The highest Intel ever spent in a single year has been $16 billion. They are expecting it to go up beyond 2022. They're expecting this turnaround to be very expensive. .... because SPEND SPEND SPEND..... They don't make what they need to in America. Like most US companies that have taken advantage of OVERSEAS PROFITS (ie. Apple, Amazon), they have no other opportunities to build what they need, where they need to. Supply Supply Supply. Stuck in the ocean & ports like EVERYTHING else from the OLD ECONOMY. I'm a fan of SOFTWARE. #cannabisreform software. $KERN Looking forward to the Republican led "States Reform Act" on Monday. GL all Go Biden's "BUY AMERICAN ACT". Time to generate US MANUFACTURING & SALES in country. What a thought.... lol PS. JUST BE SURE THE COMPANIES YOU INVEST IN CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THEIR PRODUCTS IN AMERICA SHOULD THEY SHIFT THEIR MANUFACTURING...... yikes

$MANAUSDT Target PTs 9-12.50 and higherDecentraland Coin Price & Market Data Decentraland price today is $3.18 with a 24-hour trading volume of $7,755,788,654. MANA price is up 20.7% in the last 24 hours. It has a circulating supply of 1.3 Billion MANA coins and a total supply of 2.19 Billion. If you are looking to buy or sell Decentraland, Binance is currently the most active exchange. What is Decentraland? Have you read or watched Ready Player One? If you have then you know where we are headed. Decentraland is a decentralized VR (virtual reality) world that is powered by the Ethereum blockchain. In this virtual world, you can purchase land, build it, monetize, and immerse into the applications and content that is built by other users. What distinguishes Decentraland from other VR projects is its decentralized nature. Land and in-game currency are powered by the Ethereum blockchain which give users complete ownership and promotes transparency. What is MANA? MANA refers to the native currency in Decentraland. It is an ERC-20 token powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Users can currently use MANA to purchase LAND and also pay for goods and services in Decentraland. MANA token can be purchased from various centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, and swap services. What is LAND? The concept of LAND in Decentraland refers to a parcel of land in the 3D virtual world. LAND is a non-fundigble token (NFT) powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Users have the opportunity to permanently own any LAND they purchase as the land titles are all traceable through the blockchain. They would then have total control on any 3D scenes they would like to build on the LAND. Individual parcels of land can be combined into estates to form larger plots of land. You may purchase LAND from secondary markets such as the Marketplace or OpenSea. How do I keep my MANA safe? Since MANA is an ERC-20 token, you can store it in any Ethereum compatible wallet. To stay secure, a good recommendation would be to use a hardware wallet such as Trezor or Ledger. If you are looking to interact with the Decentraland smart contracts, you an opt for wallets such as Metamask, MyEtherWallet, or MyCrypto.

Decentraland could be listed on Coinbase PRO!Decentraland looks very strong here. It is listed on Coinbase, but not Coinbase PRO so it is only traded vs USDC. If it gets all the pairs (USD, BTC, EUR, GBP) it could easily pop higher from here. Currently it has formed something like a massive flag right above the 2018 highs. Back then that was a massive distribution period and I thought maybe it wouldn't have come all the way back here. But MANA is one of those tokens which seems to have easily come back above its 2018 ATHs which for most projects it isn't an easy task. Very few get to make new ATHs and MANA seems to be one of them. Now NFTs/Gaming/VR which MANA has all combined in a way are pretty big for crypto so I think it wil do well. Something also important is that it has big backers (i.e Barry Silbert) and now the Grayscale product might also give an extra boost. Essentially these are the reasons I believe it will be listed + if Enjin is on Coinbase PRO, why wouldn't Decentraland be? MANAUSD big breakout with the potential to get all the way down to the bottom of the green zone

A LONG ROAD ahead for Snapchat's Visual OS ambitionsThis company, whose leadership has dubbed it a "Camera Company" is an experiment in platform making. Prepare for a long haul - it won't be easy. If they make this work, if it survives and matures as a business, then you have a platform for the 2020s/30s. I think the near-term metrics and economics are FUGLY as all but I think this as a speculation is in whether a visual OS can be designed and deployed. Right now all the "fellow kids" are talking with each other this platform. Will the demographic swarm move on to new toys which ride up the utility curve and become work and life tools? Maybe. Or will this both ride up the utility curve and mature into a fully functional service? We're fully a generation plus into the browser era when Javascript was banged out in 10 days (tied nominally to Java for recognition) for Netscape and a monochrome landscape was given color and detail for artisans as intended by Marc Andreessen. Will we see an experiment in moving a 2 dimensional experience into a fully articulated 3 dimensional virtual and augmented world building? Will the landscape change again? The company's June announcements hint at management's intentions: World Building. I think an instructive and cautionary way to look at any snap chart or story is to look at Amazon's long 20+ year journey. I love those insane statements of "10,000 invested at this date would be worth... XXX dollars today..." easy to say in retrospect but it was decades of doubt and pain along the way if you paid too much attention from day to day. Perhaps it takes a time frame that long and patience which attention-challenged audiences will need to embrace a controlled risk experiment in investing. SHORT TERM watch out, lots of BACKING and filling from that gap up during it's recent blast off from single digits (2nd time since late 2019 when it was trading for a 4 handle and change!) I will not trade it as a trend follower but I will accumulate it and see what happens in 18+ months and if they screw it up, hold it again for another 18months. It's going to be a long painful road ahead.

Breakeven Q1 2020 - Targets 8.4p/11.8p/15pA great business here, having invested previously & sold for 38% I have now started buying again for a longer run as business aims to break even by Q1 2020 Targets: 8.4p / 11.8p / 15p Very bullish on chart, check MACD on daily where it's crossing Headsets to breakeven: 400 Martin CEO has 8.41% of the company & whole BoD together about 15.6% so therefore aligned with shareholders. Could this company do a Bidstack like rise? quite possibly but in this case it will be due to numbers as they aim for 1000 headsets by end of 2020. Will be posting more notes very soon over on twitter.
