BANGUI, Central African Republic, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The world was taken by surprise when the President of CAR , Faustin-Archange Touadéra, made his announcement regarding the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender on the 21th of April and then with the following implementation of the SANGO Coin (https://sango.org/ ) on the 3rd of July.

In this regard, the Central African Republic, a country located in the heart of Africa, a region with untapped growth potential, is working on a new structure for its economy, paving the way to a digital future:

“There is already a vision for Africa: a common cryptocurrency and an integrated capital market that could stimulate commerce and sustain growth.” Faustin-Archange Touadéra, president of the Central African Republic.

The Central African Republic plans to raise a total of $1 Billion by issuing the first national digital currency, called SANGO. Once raised, the capital will be used to tokenize the country’s resources, offering worldwide investors the opportunity to contribute, benefit from it, and to build the entire digital infrastructure, based on Sango blockchain, a novel Layer-2 Bitcoin sidechain.

With more than $2.2 Trillion in Iron ore and a further $60 Billion in each individual resource of Gold, Oil, Diamonds and Lithium, CAR is leading the way to the democratisation of access to resources. Tokenization allows access to global capital in a democratic and transparent way, allowing investors of all sizes to buy fractionalized assets representing the country’s resources.

From the decentralisation and tokenization of its resources, to offering citizenship, e-residency and land through locking the newly issued coin, Sango will govern the whole economic ecosystem of the Central African Republic. It already appears that other African countries are showing significant interest in finding similar digital solutions.

The initiative has already gone mainstream as it is backed by the country’s administration and also applauded by big names in the industry and Africa.  Changpeng Zhao (Binance), Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy), Ricardo Salinas Pliego (Salinas Group) and Reuben Abati (Nigerian Presidential Spokesperson) are among those that have shown their support on Twitter since the official announcement.

The official GENESIS PAPER { https://sango.org/genesis-paper.pdf } of Sango has been released together with the Concept Deck for a complete understanding of the technical complexity and benefits of the ambitious Central African project. SANGO, the first national digital currency is also the first currency to be fractionally backed by Bitcoin “digital gold”.

Starting from yesterday, the platform is also open for registrations and KYC. The official launch date of the SANGO GENESIS has been set to the 25th of July and it will mark the beginning of a new era for the Central African Republic and perhaps for the entire world.

This new economical approach sheds more light on the integration and potential participation of the entire world in a country’s development, with limitless investment possibilities for anyone in the crypto space and beyond it.

Mega Hopper Maximizes Convenience with Easy Assembly and Cleaning

High-Quality, Pulp-Free Juicing Performance Praised

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hurom’s flagship H400 juicer has been awarded Best Kitchen Product of the Year by Forbes as part of the 2024 Forbes Vetted Best Product Awards.

Each year, Forbes selects top products across nine categories—including kitchen, beauty, fashion, tech, and travel—using rigorous criteria such as quality, value, user convenience based on hands-on testing, and customer reviews. This year’s award-winning products all received high marks for their exceptional quality, innovative technology, and high consumer satisfaction.

The Hurom H400 juicer stood out for its impressive performance, user-friendly design, and elegant look, securing its position as the top kitchen product for 2024.

Featuring low-speed extraction technology, the H400 maintains the nutrients in fruits and vegetables, enhancing juice quality. By minimizing heat during extraction, it allows consumers to fully retain and enjoy the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables, while preventing oxidation for a fresher taste. With its powerful juicing capability, Forbes noted that the H400 delivers smooth, pulp-free juice with rich flavor.

The innovative Mega Hopper also lets users place whole fruits and vegetables directly into the juicer, where they are automatically cut, reducing prep time. Designed for simplicity from assembly to cleaning, the H400’s convenience features contributed significantly to its high ratings in the Forbes evaluation.

With a sleek, modern design that complements kitchen decor, the Hurom H400 also includes a built-in puree cup that collects pulp during juicing, maximizing space efficiency and earning positive design feedback.

Jaewon Kim, CEO of Hurom, shared, “We are honored to see the Hurom H400’s quality recognized internationally. Hurom will continue to bring innovative, user-centered products to consumers around the world, promoting the value of health and wellness.”

Earlier in February, the Hurom H400 received praise from Forbes as the Best Juicer for its low-speed extraction technology and user-friendly features. Additionally, in 2023, the Hurom H200 earned the title of Best Juicer Overall from Forbes, recognized for its exceptional ease of use.
