I can't wrap my head around the impulse to send you apologia about this so called "anti-gacha" stuff when you've made a clear and reasonable stance.

Particularly given these folks are likely in the US where sports gambling apps have absolutely blitzed most of the country, and forced major broadcasters including controversy-averse Disney to lend the ESPN branding to a gambling platform and every major sports league to rewrite their old blanket bans on player sports betting after they hopped in bed with Draft Kings and Fan Duel.

Gacha-games aren't free of sin I suppose, and maybe I'm wrong about where these anons live, but to single gachas out in the current environment as a key driver or even a major concern as opposed to state-run lotteries or the fact most problem gambling orgs are funded by a share of gambling revenues really indicates a preoccupation with something other than gambling as a whole.

Thank u! Yeah it seems to me that gambling is becoming more ubiquitous everywhere with traditional schemes for cash circulation throughout the economy failing but the only time people feel comfortable mobilizing shame, specifically, is when it comes to popular east Asian mobile games. It certainly doesn't feel like an attitude motivated by genuine concern to me...

BLOODY ROAR FANZINE 🐺 IC SURVEY RESULTS

Thank you everyone who answered our survey, shared the interest check across social media, and lended a direct hand toward making this project a reality!

We had 41 submissions and received an overwhelmingly positive response, not only in seeing this zine become a reality, but also contributing to its creation!

"On a scale of 1 to 5, how interested are you in a Bloody Roar zine?"

33 (80.5%) answered 5 - EXTREMELY Interested

Based on this turnout, we will be moving swiftly forward into the next phase of production. Thank you so much for your support!!

Please read below the cut for a detailed breakdown of the results and an important community message.

PROJECT INTERESTS

“How would you like to participate in this zine’s creation?”

Responders could pick multiple answers:

31 want to contribute as an artist

21 want to help support the zine

9 want to contribute as a writer

8 want to contribute through merch

5 want to help the zine as a moderator

2 want to contribute other media

As this will be a free zine available to everyone upon completion, those who wish to support our project are encouraged to share posts about it across social media, directly with friends, and others in the community. We have platforms for promotion on Tumblr, X/Twitter, BlueSky, Instagram, and more recently on Reddit. If you find our coverage is lacking, please feel free to make posts of your own!

With regard to mod interest, we had a few professionals offer their services to make this zine happen; from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. And keep an eye out, because mod applications will be our next major order of business in the near future.

Of those wanting to contribute art:

Responders could pick multiple answers:

29 want to draw page illustrations

12 want to draw spot art

10 want to draw comics

9 want to make or help with merch

From the digital merch options we suggested, all were in high demand:

Responders could pick multiple answers:

25 want wallpapers (mobile/desktop)

24 want printables (bookmarks, etc)

23 want avatars/icons for social media

19 want emotes for chat platforms

Suffice to say, we’ll be pursuing all of the above options.

“What part of the world do you currently live in?”

North America - 29 (79.7%)

Asia - 5 (12.2%)

Europe - 3 (7.3%)

South America - 2 (4.9%)

Southeast Asia - 1 (2.4%)

Oceania - 1 (2.4%)

We’re thrilled to see Bloody Roar’s global impact reinforced in our survey results! 

As stated in our FAQ, this is an ESL-friendly zine that will be coordinated and published in English. Our hope is that those who wish to participate will be able to do so from anywhere in the world without language as a barrier. Likewise, we welcome any fluent volunteers who would like to assist with translation into other languages. 

Rest assured, we will do all that we can to accommodate anyone who expresses interest in this project, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!

“What’s your general age range?”

Teens to 20s - 5 (12.2%)

20s to 40s - 34 (82.9%)

40+ - 2 (4.9%)

On the matter of moderation, it was a decision from the beginning that all mods will be required to be 21+ at the time they apply for project security. We also asked how everyone would feel if we allowed contributors to be 16+ since the zine will be PG-16 in terms of content and a SFW project. 

The vast majority (36 out of 41) said they were fine with 16+ contributors, while 5 said they would prefer all contributors be 18+.

Considering the response, we currently plan to allow contributors aged 16+ at the time of application. However, we take internet safety very seriously so if you have lingering concerns on this matter and want to make sure your reasons are heard, please email us so we can better understand your position and prepare accordingly.

When we asked what else people might want to see contributed, it became clear that many had big ideas! This enthusiasm was wonderful to witness, and we'd like to take a moment to address those ideas real quick.

This was a free response question:

16 requested the inclusion of Cosplay

14 requested rips of 3D models and instructions for rigging

11 requested to hear fan made music, original or remixed

9 requested to read interviews and instructional guides

5 requested more video coverage on the series

5 requested game mods/hacks or fan made games

3 requested more translations of unlocalized material

2 requested access to 3D printing files for character models

2 requested news about upcoming tournaments (online/offline)

While we would love to see more mixed media from Bloody Roar fans, our survey showed a clear trend of people primarily hoping to contribute visual art and writing. 

Though we plan to stay in line with these preferences and keep this zine’s scope fairly traditional, these answers prove there is still a powerful interest in the series and we hope that these results can inspire ideas for future fan projects! 

Our survey only reached a handful of the entire Bloody Roar fanbase, so we expect that this level of interest only represents a small fraction of everyone’s collective passion for the series all across the world.

That's what makes the following data so crucial:

“Are you familiar with the Bloody Roar series?”

Responders could pick one answer that best described them:

14 Play regularly and want the series to make a comeback

12 Are currently active making art, writing stories, and more

8 Played while they were young and the series stuck with them

4 Know of or became curious because of friends, but never played

3 Either found the series recently or identify as semi-active

“Tell us about your experience with the series and what you like about it!”

This was a free answer to an optional question, so not everyone responded, but of those who did, a very particular pattern emerged ― not concerning what people enjoyed about the series itself, but how they came to discover its existence.

Almost everyone said they learned about Bloody Roar through word of mouth.

Some were told about it by friends, others were shown it by a member of their family. When they weren’t introduced to it by a person, they found BR on their own by way of demo discs, used game stores, and YouTube recommendations from similar topics.

This may have been the most important question on this survey for the community.

We cannot sit on our hands hoping that other people remember Bloody Roar enough to mention it before we start talking about it ourselves. We cannot passively wait for a corporation to do something with this beloved series just to include it in conversation. If we want to see anything done, we have to do it ourselves ― and that’s what this project is all about.

This zine is a celebration of our existing interest, yes, but it will also serve as a beacon. It’s a way to keep talking about a series that deserves more attention; it’s an eye catch; it’s inspiration.

Everyone who is passionate about this series, this is a call to action:

If you want to see a tournament, online or offline, organize that tournament; if you want to make a fan comic, make that fan comic; if you want to do a series rewrite, do that series rewrite; if you want to see something, read something, play something, but don’t feel like you have the tools or capability, then organize with or commission others who would be thrilled to make it happen.

Don’t let fear or embarrassment stop you from pursuing something that would make you happy. Let this initiative inspire you! Start drawing, start writing, start programming ― even if you don’t feel like you’re capable of those things. Practice drawing by looking at the series’ art, do studies of beast forms, open a word document and write your thoughts down no matter how disjointed, and you’ll see how quickly you improve just by letting your interest fuel you.

Whatever you do, don’t wait for someone else to make the first move.

An incredible number of individuals make posts wondering if anyone remembers Bloody Roar, and far too few stick around to have a conversation afterwards. You have to earnestly share your interest, talk openly about it, or nothing will change.

We do remember Bloody Roar. We’re here, and if this survey proves anything it’s that we’re all crying out for a greater sense of community. So let’s use this opportunity; let’s take the initiative, shake off whatever’s stopping us from creating, and pay homage to this series that is so near and dear to us!

“No matter how small and niche and insignificant something might seem, the very act of researching, or spending time with, or caring for it imbues it with meaning. To you, and to the people you share it with.” ― Brian David Gilbert

FAN FAVORITES

Because the creative end of the fanbase is generally split apart without a centralized platform to find and share their work with others, we felt it was important to remind people and better understand why we remember this series so fondly.

“What’s your favorite Bloody Roar game?”

This was an optional question that 40/41 participants responded to:

20 said Bloody Roar 2 was their favorite

11 said Primal Fury/Extreme was their favorite

4 said Bloody Roar 3 was their favorite

3 said Bloody Roar 1 was their favorite

2 said Bloody Roar 4 was their favorite

Bloody Roar 2 stuck in people's minds by a landslide, so we'll be basing our zine's graphics and visual design off of BR2 to ensure it feels recognizable at a glance.

“What is your favorite animal?”

This was a completely optional question left at the end of the survey:

13 said wolves or foxes

10 said big cats, especially tigers

7 said rabbits

Other responses included dogs, bats, crows, octopi, hyenas, stoats, and cockroaches.

Hopefully it was fun to think about in this context. Maybe next time people can consider what their beast form would be if they were a zoanthrope!

“Who are your favorite characters in Bloody Roar?”

Responders could pick multiple answers:

#1 Shina (Marvel) the Leopard - 24 (58.5%)

#2 Shenlong the Tiger - 19 (46.3%)

#3 Uriko the Cat/Half Beast - 18 (43.9%)

#4 Yugo the Wolf & Long the Tiger - 17 (41.5%)

#5 Jenny the Bat - 16 (39%)

#6 Alice the Rabbit - 15 (36.6%)

#7 Bakuryu the Mole - 14 (34.1%)

#8 Hans the Fox - 13 (31.7%)

#9 Gado the Lion & Stun the Insect - 12 (29.3%)

#10 Busuzima the Chameleon - 8 (19.5%)

There were some close calls as votes came in, but here are the runner ups:

#11 Mitsuko the Boar & Xion the Unborn - 7 (17.1%)

#12 Reiji the Crow - 5 (12.2%)

#13 Cronos the Penguin/Phoenix & Uranus the Chimera - 4 (9.8%)

#14 Kohryu the Iron Mole & Mana the Ninetails - 3 (7.3%)

#15 Nagi the Spurious & Greg the Gorilla - 2 (4.9%)

No one said Ryoho the Dragon was their favorite.

This gave us an idea of which characters still stick in the minds of fans so many years since the last game’s release. It also gives us a sense of which characters are most desired to be seen and who will most likely be receiving more focus in the project.

“What do you like about those characters?”

This was an optional free response question. As expected, quite a lot of appreciation was granted to gameplay and how stylish the designs were, but the most common praise was given to each of the characters’ memorable personalities, backstories, and dynamics with each other. 

Bloody Roar’s story has won out through this survey time and again, which is precisely the part that's become increasingly neglected as the years wear on.

For the last decade or more, outside of the FGC scene, it’s kind of been a free for all, “every man for himself” situation when it comes to Bloody Roar. This survey has proven that the story focused fans should be embraced to have a thriving community.

FUTURE BLOODY ROAR FAN PROJECTS

We got LOADS of interest in projects beyond this singular zine, which is very exciting! These will not happen until after this particular project is completed, but rest assured your interest is noted and we will do our best to pursue them one step at a time.

“What future Bloody Roar fan projects would you be interested in seeing?”

Responders could pick multiple answers:

33 want to see more free digital zines like this one

31 want to see the production of physical fan merch

29 want to see the production of limited run physical zines

26 want to see Bloody Roar themed artwork collabs/exchanges

25 want to see digital zines for purchase (artist profit or charity)

22 want to see the preservation and translation of official BR media

17 want to participate in a fandom discord server (story/lore focus)

16 want to see Bloody Roar themed writing collabs/exchanges

One person also wrote that they wanted to see Bloody Roar themed mods for different games, like Bomberman or other Hudson properties.

“What themes would you want to see from future Bloody Roar zines?”

This was an optional free response question:

12 want to see a zine focused on fashion (street, formal, etc)

10 want to see a zine focused on animals and beast forms

9 want to see a zine focused on lore, story, and characters

9 want to see a zine focused on characters in slice of life scenarios

8 want to see a zine focused on the players and BR's legacy

8 want to see a zine focused on fighting styles and move analysis

7 want to see a zine focused on flowers and flower language

5 want to see a zine focused on Bloody Roar OCs or Crossovers

3 want to see a zine focused on the horror and dark themes in BR

2 want to see a zine focused on romance, including OCxCanon

1 wants to see a zine focused on the villains of Bloody Roar

Additionally, 6 people said they would be happy to see anything BR related at all.

These suggestions were a joy to see! We'll never run out of ideas or motivation thanks to everyone's inspiring interests.

Please know that the invitation is completely open for anyone to spearhead their own similar projects. We don't have the market cornered on this, and we all win when there’s more Bloody Roar-related creativity shared with the world.

And that wraps up our Interest Check #1 results! Thank you for reading this far.

We'll be running a second interest check alongside our upcoming mod apps in order to finalize many of the details from information we collected in this survey. Thank you so much for your interest and support - and if you didn't get a chance to respond to this first survey, then the second one will be your next chance!

Those looking forward to contributor apps, your patience will be rewarded. For now, take a look at our Carrd for a tentative breakdown of our zine's submission and portfolio guidelines so you can prepare.

Thank you @donotwander for drawing half of the favorite character chibis with @five5sixers, @banchou for the cute favorite animal art, and @3V4C for helping out with the graphs on Canva.

FFXIV Write 2024 | #9: Lend an Ear

Word Count: 867

Third Umbral Moon, 22nd Sun

So much has happened, yet there’s only one little touch that has overtaken my mind.

Zenos lies dead by his own hand, even after channeling the might of Ilberd’s primal, Shinryu. The Empire has been driven from Gyr Abania by the combined forces of the Resistance and the Alliance. Ala Mhigo, at last, is a free nation once more.

But there are multiple things that haunt me even as the dust settles. First… Zenos. Even as we came face-to-face and crossed swords, the look in his eyes was hungry in a way I have never seen in my enemies before, continuing this strange yearning sensation that I had begun to pick up on when he defeated me in Yanxia. He spoke of the connection he and I shared even as he held Shinryu’s yoke…and he even invited me to join him. To partake in our shared interests together.

I rejected him, of course. But even so…at the end, as he held his own sword to his throat, he met my eyes…and he bade me, “my first friend. My enemy,” farewell.

I can’t untangle what that means - how his definition of friend somehow became so entwined with that of enemy. What sorts of horrors within me that he saw and empathized with.

Because it’s not quite the horror displayed by Aulus mal Asina, whom we confronted mere minutes before Zenos himself. The engineer who kidnapped and tortured Lily and Krile, who put both Fordola and Zenos under the knife to experiment with an artificial Echo.

Mia’s father.

She showed no hesitation, only grim determination and…maybe even a bit of the darkness that Zenos purported to see in me. She brutally, efficiently dismantled him, saving us from his soul-jacking maneuver and completely wrecking his mobile weapons platform. She bore down upon him as he scrambled back against the wall with a hardness in her face I’ve never seen before. And when he tried to lash out, when he blasted Lyse with some secret gadget as she tried to cuff him…

Mia stabbed him through the heart without even flinching.

None of us asked her to - but she still took it upon herself to bear the burden of patricide.

For all my messy feelings about Zenos, can they even begin to compare to what she must have felt as she looked upon the horrified face of her own father, impaled on her own blade?

I didn’t think she’d want to speak with anyone, disquieted by those feelings as much as I am with Zenos. But at the celebration that night, in the shadow of Rhalgr’s frame carved into the cliffside of his Reach, she sought me out, more soused than I’ve ever seen her and grumbling about how she definitely didn’t want to think about it, that she specifically looked for me to spend the party with because I am, to quote, “a good nonthinking buddy - I know you won’t ask me a bunch of annoying questions. Nothing about my absolute… fucker of a dad…”

So, knowing full well how much we’re both wrestling with ignominious, complex thoughts, I told her “I won’t ask, but if you need to talk… I can lend an ear.”

…and she did. I learned a lot about her past. About how little she saw her parents, how she sort of filled the void with the next-door neighbor Jullus and his family. How she didn’t realize what she was missing until she escaped Garlemald. How she had never known how starved for touch and affection and care she was until right now, right here - when she’s nestling herself into my embrace.

If you had told me when I first joined the Scions that I’d ever end up holding Mia Longhart in a caring embrace as she drunkenly unburdened her troubles, I would’ve laughed you out of the room or accused you of spinning wild faerie tales. Fuck, you can see in this very journal, in my entries from years ago, how annoyed I had been at her self-righteousness, her weird moral superiority. Yet here she was in my arms tonight, now one of my closest friends, breaking into a flood of tears as she cursed the monstrous father she had, lamenting that he couldn’t have been like mine, or Lyse’s…

And when she had worn herself out… she thanked me for being here, for listening… for showing her what she was missing. And then she kissed my cheek. And then passed out on my shoulder.

It’s been, I don’t know, maybe two hours since then; I carried her to bed and left her there to write this while watching people celebrate outside. And even with all this tumult inside me, over Zenos’s words and Lyse’s departure from the Scions and everything else… I can still feel the touch of her lips on my cheek, and I am very conscious of how tightly I’m holding on to that sensation like a port in a storm.

…Funny that I did get to comfort her about her father after all. That flame of jealousy isn’t nearly as strong anymore, at least.

Like that’s really the important issue here. Ugh.

--- NESENCorp IX "Ixion" Class Long-Range Tactical Warform ---

Originally created for the Lord Protectorate of The Core's army during the failed 9th succession war, the Ixion is an artillery mech which uses oversized arms mounted on rails to fling extremely heavy javelin like rockets at the then popular heavily shielded Warforms. Traditionally these Warforms would charge en-mass towards the enemy, relying on the sheer number of projectiles to take care of the majority of the enemy.

Remaining Warforms of this class belong largely to high-class mercenary pilots, some of which are veterans of the wars fought by these Warforms surviving with expensive de-aging surgeries, or more rarely being processed into a MindCore to be placed within the Warform to allow more junior pilots to effectively use the it.

STATS ---

Power --- A+ --- Boasting some of the highest in class point damage by any known Warform, anything hit by an Ixion's javelin is going to feel it.

Range --- B --- Lacking any particular option for bombardment of fortified positions, the rule of thumb is that if you can see it on the horizon from the cockpit of the Warform, you can hit it with a Javelin.

Durability --- C --- Although it has quite a high blast resistance, its joints in particular are very open, leaving it vulnerable to stray critical hits, especially when under heavy fire.

Repair --- D- --- Notoriously difficult to repair, in particular the rail mechanism for its arms. A common tactic is to permanently scuttle one of the Warform's arms and replace it to let its parts be used to maintain the other.

Mobility --- C+ --- It's four legged stance lends it stability and greater straight-line speed, but it is hampered by vertical movement, preferring wide open battlefields.

NOTABLE VARIANTS ---

Type A "Veteran" --- The kind driven by veteran pilots, both arms are likely to work and to be supplied with Javelins.

Type B "Mercenary" --- Less likely to be repaired properly, but still in possesion of its arms, oftentimes the more problematic joints in the neck and arms will have been armored up to allow them to engage in heavy fighting.

Type C "Platform" --- Used as a weapons and supply platform rather than as a combat Warform, usually as a result of the upper segment being destroyed and replaced with a less complex driving system to use the durable, high speed lower body.

Individual "Throne" --- Belonging originally to a veteran before being captured by the West Rim Bandit Lord, this Warform was modified to act as a throne for the Lord's personal LRA III "Screech Owl" Class Light Patrol Warform, with its head angled at a 90 degree angle upwards and reinforced with incredible amounts of armor.

Individual "SilverFist" --- A dueling warform belonging to the late Heir Protectorate, attaching a modified Ixion head to a more traditional bipedal Warform. It's name derives from its propensity to strip the top layer of paint and metal off of its fist when using the Ixion's rail mechanism to fire a punch.

The Rise of Fintech: Transforming Financial Services for the Digital Age

In recent years, Fintech—short for Financial Technology—has emerged as a disruptive force in the financial services industry. From mobile payments to blockchain technology, fintech innovations are reshaping how individuals, businesses, and financial institutions interact with money. As digital tools continue to evolve, they offer new ways to improve financial efficiency, transparency, and inclusivity.

The rapid rise of fintech is not just a trend; it's a transformative shift that’s reshaping financial landscapes globally. In this article, we will explore what fintech is, how it’s transforming various sectors of financial services, and what the future holds for this exciting industry.

1. What is Fintech?

Fintech is a term that encompasses any technology that improves and automates financial services. This can include innovations in areas like mobile payments, online banking, investment platforms, and even the use of artificial intelligence in managing financial portfolios.

Fintech aims to make financial services more accessible, efficient, and secure. By leveraging digital tools, it allows individuals to manage their finances with ease, whether they're sending money across borders, applying for a loan, or investing in the stock market.

2. The Evolution of Fintech

The roots of fintech can be traced back to the late 20th century, with the introduction of online banking and electronic payments. However, it wasn't until the late 2000s, with the rise of smartphones and digital apps, that fintech truly took off.

The 2008 financial crisis also played a significant role in the development of fintech. Traditional banks struggled, leading to the rise of alternative financial solutions. Startups began creating apps and platforms to offer services such as peer-to-peer lending, robo-advisors, and even digital currencies like Bitcoin.

Today, fintech is booming, with countless companies and startups offering innovative financial products and services that rival traditional financial institutions.

3. The Key Sectors of Fintech

Fintech covers a broad range of sectors, each offering unique innovations that are transforming the way we think about and use financial services. Here are some of the key areas:

a. Digital Payments

One of the most recognizable sectors of fintech is digital payments. Apps like PayPal, Venmo, and Apple Pay have made sending and receiving money faster, more convenient, and cheaper than traditional methods.

Consumers can now make purchases, pay bills, and send money internationally with just a few taps on their smartphone, without needing to rely on banks or physical cash.

b. Lending and Borrowing

Fintech has disrupted the lending industry by providing alternatives to traditional bank loans. Peer-to-peer lending platforms such as LendingClub and Funding Circle allow individuals to lend directly to borrowers, cutting out the middleman and often providing better rates for both parties.

Additionally, fintech lenders have made it easier for small businesses and individuals with less-than-perfect credit scores to access loans through automated credit scoring systems.

c. Investment Platforms

The rise of fintech has made investing more accessible to the general public. Gone are the days when investing required a hefty minimum deposit and working with a financial advisor.

Now, thanks to robo-advisors like Betterment and Wealthfront, individuals can invest with little to no minimum, receiving tailored investment advice through algorithms that automatically adjust portfolios based on risk tolerance and market conditions.

d. Insurtech (Insurance Technology)

Insurtech is another growing sector of fintech, aiming to simplify and improve the insurance industry. From comparing quotes to filing claims, insurance technology platforms like Lemonade are providing a seamless, user-friendly experience for consumers.

These innovations are making insurance more affordable and efficient, particularly for younger consumers who value the convenience of digital interactions.

e. Cryptocurrency and Blockchain

Perhaps the most transformative development in fintech is the rise of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum offer decentralized alternatives to traditional currencies, while blockchain technology provides a secure and transparent way to record transactions.

While still relatively new, cryptocurrencies and blockchain are expected to have far-reaching implications for everything from cross-border payments to smart contracts.

4. How Fintech is Changing Financial Services

Fintech’s influence is broad and deep, transforming almost every facet of financial services. Here’s a closer look at how it’s reshaping the industry:

a. Improving Access to Financial Services

One of the biggest advantages of fintech is that it provides greater access to financial services, particularly for underserved populations. For example, fintech platforms allow people in developing countries, who might not have access to traditional banking, to open accounts and manage their finances using just a smartphone.

Fintech has also revolutionized access to credit. Through digital lending platforms, individuals and small businesses can get loans faster and more easily than ever before, often bypassing the hurdles of traditional banks.

b. Lowering Costs

Fintech companies operate more efficiently than traditional financial institutions, often passing these savings on to consumers in the form of lower fees and better interest rates. This is especially true in sectors like peer-to-peer lending and digital payments, where middlemen have been cut out of the equation.

c. Faster Transactions

In the traditional financial world, sending money, especially internationally, can be a slow and expensive process. Fintech has made these transactions faster, with some payments happening in real time. Digital wallets, payment processors, and blockchain technology are all contributing to instantaneous money transfers, no matter where you are in the world.

d. Personalized Financial Management

Thanks to the use of big data and machine learning, fintech companies can provide highly personalized services. For example, investment platforms use algorithms to create tailored portfolios, while budgeting apps help users track and optimize their spending habits based on individual behavior.

This level of personalization is helping consumers and businesses alike make better financial decisions, driving growth and improving financial health.

5. The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Fintech

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a significant role in the fintech industry. AI is used to streamline processes, enhance customer experiences, and improve security measures. For example, chatbots powered by AI can handle basic customer inquiries, freeing up human agents to focus on more complex tasks.

AI also plays a crucial role in fraud detection and cybersecurity, identifying unusual patterns in data and flagging potential threats in real time.

6. Fintech Regulations and Challenges

As fintech continues to grow, so do the regulatory challenges that come with it. Governments and financial institutions around the world are working to create regulatory frameworks that both encourage innovation and protect consumers.

Some key concerns in fintech include data privacy, cybersecurity, and the risk of financial exclusion if certain populations are unable to keep up with technological advances.

There’s also the challenge of navigating the global landscape, as fintech companies often operate in multiple countries, each with its own regulations and standards.

7. The Future of Fintech

The future of fintech looks incredibly promising, with AI, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies leading the charge. Experts predict that in the next few years, we’ll see even more integration between traditional financial institutions and fintech companies, blurring the lines between the two.

In addition to more widespread adoption of digital currencies, the fintech industry is expected to play a key role in financial inclusion, helping to bridge the gap for the 1.7 billion people globally who remain unbanked.

8. How to Get Started in Fintech

If you're interested in fintech, there are plenty of ways to get started. Whether you’re a consumer looking to take advantage of new financial tools, or a professional considering a career in the industry, now is the perfect time to dive in.

Explore Fintech Platforms: Start using digital banking apps, robo-advisors, or digital wallets to familiarize yourself with how fintech works.

Learn About Blockchain and AI: These two technologies are central to the future of fintech. There are plenty of online courses and resources available to help you learn the basics.

Invest in Fintech: Many fintech companies are publicly traded, offering opportunities for you to invest in the future of finance.

9. The Benefits of Fintech for Businesses

Fintech isn’t just changing the landscape for consumers—it’s also revolutionizing how businesses operate. From streamlining payment processes to improving access to capital, fintech is enabling businesses to operate more efficiently and scale faster.

Some benefits for businesses include:

Lower Transaction Fees: Fintech payment processors offer competitive rates compared to traditional banks.

Access to Funding: Digital lending platforms and crowdfunding have opened up new ways for businesses to access funding.

Improved Cash Flow Management: With real-time payment solutions, businesses can improve cash flow and reduce the wait times associated with traditional banking.

10. Conclusion: Fintech is Here to Stay

In conclusion, fintech is not just a buzzword—it’s a revolution that’s changing the way we interact with money and financial services. Whether it’s through digital payments, AI-powered financial tools, or blockchain-based systems, fintech is making finance faster, more accessible, and more secure.

ooc: meet the mun

NAME?: Red

PRONOUNS?: he/she/they, idc honestly. i usually just call myself that/this bitch.

MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?: Pav, my darling and beloved, but also Doc (even if I'm not always actively writing here, I promise my love for him hasn't diminished)

RP PET PEEVES?: people not respecting other people's characters ooc, people not willing to share the spotlight in threads where both their muses get to be the centre of attention for a while, the lack of willingness to plot.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?: i've been roleplaying for the better part of fifteen years now across various platforms.

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT?: angst! it's my favourite thing to write because it opens so many doors and i am such a sucker for tossing characters into crazy situations and watching them connect/learn/grow from it. it often lends the most to bonds/character development and that's what i adore out of roleplaying and what i want for my muse. plus it gives me the chance to write some of the wildest, off the rails shit sometimes and really push the limits of my imagination. not that i don't appreciate fluff, but as a treat that the characters earn after all the bs. or something quick to break up the pain.

PLOTS OR MEMES?: plots, hands down. like i can wing shit, sure, but after a while when there's no communication, i tend to get burnt out without the direction and there's that awkward stalemate sometimes between the two muns without communication because both are afraid to leap into something; i know i worry sometimes about driving a thread somewhere the other may not want it to go or overstepping boundaries. but i'm also always down for turning a meme into a plot! and the plot doesn't have to be figured out down to the smallest detail; just a general idea, a vibe, a direction will do and we can take it from there.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?: me, glancing nervously at my blog/carrd: long? no, i'm a long reply kind of person. multi-para to novella, that's most often what you'll find from me. i can really only do shorter than that if it's a quick crack thing.

TIME TO WRITE?: when i shouldn't be, like at work hahaha. no, i write whenever the inspiration hits. sometimes i'm on mobile in a car somewhere or waiting for something or i'm just sitting in my bed like i wanna write. there's no real set time of day for me.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?: mmmm sort of? i've for sure got that awkward social thing down pat but i've also got as wild a fashion sense as doc. i wear whatever i want regardless of how it looks in public, whether the colours match, and idgaf. as a kid, my mum used to always tell me i looked stupid and i didn't match and i needed to change to which i told her oh well. we're also similar in the loneliness/solitude aspects. not that i don't enjoy company, but i do like being left alone to do my own thing a lot of the time and i'm also very independent. we're also both in the same boat from a romantic standpoint. (pre-clara for doc anyway).

I know the game works on both pc and mobile browsers, but do you feel one or the other lends itself better? I’m going to try my first playthrough and I was just wondering if one platform might be a better user experience, or if it’s more about user preference.

Both work! But if I had to choose, I would recommend playing on desktop over mobile. Mobile browsers come with their own host of issues, especially in regards to saves. Additionally, there are some design choices (such as the interactive map) that couldn't be translated to a mobile format.

Omg I hope that you don't feel any pressure to post. I was hoping that the context would help that's all. Be you that is how I stumbled upon your blog

Not at all. So much changed since the last time I used Tumblr, and I only recently realized where the asks are on mobile. Overall I like the community better here than on most social media, but the platform itself does not lend itself to nuanced discourse. Which is something I tend to seek out. But after the 16th time of having what you didn't say taken out of something you did by someone not acting in good faith, you log off for a day or three years. :3

Binance is a global cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao, a former software developer at Bloomberg Tradebook. It has quickly become one of the most popular exchanges in the world due to its wide range of features and user-friendly interface. Binance is headquartered in Malta and has offices in various countries around the world.

One of the key features of Binance is its vast selection of cryptocurrencies. It currently supports over 500 different coins and tokens, making it one of the most comprehensive exchanges in the market. This allows users to access a wide range of investment opportunities and diversify their portfolio across different cryptocurrencies.

Binance also offers a variety of trading options, including spot trading, margin trading, and futures trading. Spot trading involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies for immediate delivery, while margin trading allows users to trade with borrowed funds, giving them the opportunity to increase their profits or losses. Futures trading involves trading contracts that allow traders to speculate on the price of a cryptocurrency at a future date.

In addition to trading, Binance offers a range of other services, including staking, savings, and lending. Staking involves holding cryptocurrencies in a wallet to support the network and earn rewards. Savings allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrency holdings, while lending allows them to earn interest by lending their cryptocurrency to other users.

Binance also has its own cryptocurrency, Binance Coin (BNB), which can be used to pay for trading fees on the platform. BNB has become one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the market, with a market capitalization of over $40 billion.

One of the key strengths of Binance is its security measures. The platform uses a variety of security features to protect user funds, including two-factor authentication, SSL encryption, and cold storage. Binance also has a Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) that provides an extra layer of protection in case of security breaches or other unexpected events.

Another advantage of Binance is its user-friendly interface. The platform is designed to be easy to use, even for beginners, and offers a range of educational resources to help users learn about cryptocurrencies and trading. Binance also has a mobile app that allows users to trade and manage their portfolio on the go.

Despite its many strengths, Binance has faced some challenges in recent years. In 2019, the platform suffered a security breach that resulted in the theft of over $40 million worth of cryptocurrency. Binance responded quickly to the breach and was able to recover the stolen funds, but it highlighted the need for strong security measures in the cryptocurrency industry.

Binance has also faced regulatory scrutiny in some countries, including the United States and Japan. In 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK banned Binance from operating in the country, citing concerns about its compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Binance has since made efforts to improve its AML policies and has been working to address regulatory concerns in other countries.

In conclusion, Binance is a comprehensive and user-friendly cryptocurrency exchange that offers a wide range of trading options and services. Its vast selection of cryptocurrencies, security measures, and educational resources make it an attractive choice for both beginner and experienced traders. However, like any cryptocurrency exchange, it also faces challenges and risks, including security breaches and regulatory scrutiny. As with any investment, it is important for users to do their own research and carefully consider the risks before investing in cryptocurrencies.

Binance has grown rapidly since its launch in 2017 and has become one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. According to CoinMarketCap, Binance is currently ranked as the 4th largest exchange by trading volume, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $12 billion at the time of writing.

Binance has also expanded its offerings beyond just cryptocurrency trading. In 2020, the exchange launched Binance Card, a debit card that allows users to spend their cryptocurrency holdings at merchants that accept Visa. Binance has also launched its own blockchain, Binance Chain, which is designed to facilitate the issuance and trading of digital assets.

Binance has also been active in the cryptocurrency industry through its various initiatives and investments. In 2019, the exchange launched Binance Labs, a blockchain incubator that invests in early-stage blockchain projects.

Another notable feature of Binance is its customer support. The platform offers 24/7 customer support via live chat, email, and social media, which has earned it a reputation for being responsive and helpful.

In addition to its lending platform, Binance has also launched a peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platform. P2P trading allows users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly with each other, without the need for a centralized exchange. This can be particularly useful in countries where cryptocurrency exchanges are restricted or banned.

Binance has also been actively involved in promoting cryptocurrency adoption and education. The exchange has launched a range of educational resources, including articles, videos, and webinars, to help users learn about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Binance has also launched several initiatives aimed at promoting cryptocurrency adoption, such as the Binance Charity Foundation, which uses blockchain technology to facilitate charitable donations.

One area where Binance has faced criticism is in its listing process for new cryptocurrencies. Some critics have accused the exchange of prioritizing profit over due diligence, leading to the listing of some questionable cryptocurrencies. Binance has responded by implementing stricter listing requirements and conducting more thorough due diligence on new listings.
