SEAPRWire team Launches Blockchain-Focused News release Service

Hong Kong – SEAPRWire, a leader in blockchain public relations and marketing services, is pleased to announce the launch of SEAPRWire, an automated PR distribution service which provides guaranteed coverage and in-depth reports. SEAPRWire will be a one-stop-shop for the distribution of news releases in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector. The launch marks the first time that advertisers can reach leading publications in the crypto media with the click of a button. While most industries have some kind of PR newswire service, the cryptocurrency sector has become a victim of its own rapid pace of growth over recent years. Since the ICO boom of 2017, there has been a proliferation of blockchain and crypto-focused projects, exchanges, investment firms, and marketing agencies, along with niche news and informational content sites. However, the infrastructure to connect this complex ecosystem has been slow to come up to speed, meaning that existing newswire services don’t reach their target audience. It’s estimated that one in five people own cryptocurrencies, so there is currently a significant missed opportunity to reach a massive global readership. As a newswire service dedicated ...

DogeBonk Achieves the First Memecoin in Space

Cheyenne, Wyoming / December 20, 2021 / SEAPRWire / – DogeBonk is a two month old memecoin, revived from hibernation by a ragtag group of anonymous Defi veterans. More than just a coin, DogeBonk’s exponentially growing decentralized community of holders has recently completed one of the most ambitious stunts in crypto history. They have successfully become the first memecoin in space, beating Dogecoin by months. The project emerged from a community brainstorm on ways to show how even a scrappy underdog like DogeBonk, could show that one does not need the patronage of influencers and billionaires to achieve great things. One anonymous member suggested one-upping noted billionaire and meme enthusiast Elon Musk’s pet project by becoming the first memecoin in space, beating SpaceX’s mission DOGE-1. Within just a few weeks, the community came together and made this ambition real, launching on a weather balloon to 90,000 feet, where the blackness of space and the curvature of the earth is visible. The unveiling of the meme in space was done on Sunday evening on the twitch channel and is now available on BonkTV on YouTube. This stunt marks the latest in a series of ambitious and far reach...

WeWork shows more big losses in its first earnings report as a public company

NEW YORK (NYT) - WeWork reported its first quarterly results as a public company Monday, revealing that its coworking business is still racking up big losses and hemorrhaging cash. But WeWork pointed to an uptick in customer leasing activity in the quarter as evidence that it was positioned to do well in office-space markets that had been upended by the pandemic. WeWork, which became public through a merger last month with a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, reported a net loss of US$802 million in the third quarter, an improvement on the loss of US$941 million in the same period a year earlier. WeWork's revenue, however, declined to US$661 million in the latest third quarter, from US$811 million a year earlier. The company reduced its loss by cutting its expenses significantly. WeWork leases huge amounts of office space and then charges its customers - large companies, small businesses and individuals - to use it. Customers might prefer being in a WeWork space because the lease agreements are shorter than for traditional office space, allowing for more flexibility. But the drawback for WeWork is that its customers can move out on short notice. WeWork was on the brink o...
