This initiative is set to offer additional functionalities such as exclusive rights and digital identity authentication, aiming to transform the way digital assets are perceived and utilized. The decision to launch these innovative NFTs will be democratically made through a community vote scheduled from December 27 to December 30, 2024. BurgerCities is calling on its community members to actively participate in this crucial decision-making process. Voters will have the choice to either support the proposal, recognizing the potential for new opportunities in the digital market, or oppose it due to concerns over market volatility and potential technical challenges. The 2025 NFT series proposed by BurgerCities seeks to enrich the digital asset market by integrating sophisticated elements of art and technology. These NFTs aim to go beyond mere collecting; they are envisioned as a medium to appreciate digital art and leverage it for more practical applications like identity verification and exclusive access rights. This approach could potentially set a new standard for how NFTs are utilized, making them more than just collectible items but also functional assets that carry significant cultural and technological value. The outcome of the community vote will significantly influence the direction of this project and its potential impact on the digital asset landscape. BurgerCities emphasizes that the introduction of these art and technology-infused NFTs could revitalize the market and foster the development of a digital culture that celebrates technological innovation alongside artistic expression. The results of the vote will be announced promptly on various social media platforms following the conclusion of the voting period. BurgerCities aims to ensure transparency and community involvement in the evolution of its platform and the broader digital market.
Pairings for the Isleta New Mexico Bowl were announced Sunday and one of the entrants is just two years removed from playing for the national championship. TCU, which lost to Georgia in the College Football Playoff title game following the 2022 regular season, has accepted a bid to face Louisiana on Jan. 28 at University Stadium in Albuquerque. The Horned Frogs (8-4) finished in a tie for fifth place in the Big 12, just a game shy of the four teams who tied for first. They won five of their last six games to finish 6-3 in their conference. TCU is coached by Sonny Dykes, but their head coaches from 1998 through 2021 had direct ties to the state of New Mexico. Dennis Franchione took over the Horned Frogs in 1998 after spending six years as the head coach at New Mexico. His successor, Gary Patterson, was the Lobos' defensive coordinator under Franchione and took over the Frogs in 2000 when Franchione was hired by Alabama. Finally, Jerry Kill was TCU's interim coach in 2021 after Patterson resigned before the end of the season. Kill went on to coach at New Mexico State through last season, leading the Aggies to the 2023 New Mexico Bowl — a 37-10 loss to Fresno State. Louisiana (10-3, 7-1 Sun Belt) won 10 games for the first time in three years and finished as the runner-up in the Sun Belt. It’s the program’s seventh straight trip to a bowl game. The Ragin’ Cajuns scored 30 or more points in nine of their 13 games. They will be the first team from the Sun Belt to play in the New Mexico Bowl. “We are incredibly excited about this matchup and can’t wait to welcome these two teams and their fan bases to New Mexico”, said Jeff Siembieda, executive director of the ESPN-owned Isleta New Mexico Bowl. “I think we have put together what should be a really good game. TCU, with a great fan base not only in Texas, but here in New Mexico, on a three-game winning streak and playing well, against ten-win Louisiana who earned a spot in the conference championship game with a very exciting brand of football.” This will be the first appearance for either team in the New Mexico Bowl, which dates back to 2006 when it was created to pair teams from the Mountain West against the Western Athletic Conference. The Mountain West did not have enough bowl-eligible teams to send an entrant to New Mexico; only five of its 12 teams won the requisite six games during the regular season. TCU is one of nine teams from the Big 12 in a postseason game. That includes conference champion Arizona State in the College Football Playoff and the unusual all-Big 12 matchup of Colorado and BYU in the Valero Alamo Bowl.None

US stock indices pushed to fresh records Tuesday, shrugging off tariff threats from President-elect Donald Trump while European equities retreated. Trump, who doesn't take office until January 20, made his threat in social media posts Monday night, announcing huge import tariffs against neighbors Canada and Mexico and also rival China if they do not stop illegal immigration and drug smuggling. Both the Dow and S&P 500 notched all-time highs, with investors regarding the incoming president's words as a bargaining chip. "In theory, higher tariffs should not be good news for stocks. But, you know, I think the market's chosen to think of (it) as a negotiating tactic," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers. "You have bullish sentiment," said LBBW's Karl Haeling. "People are tending to look at things as positively as possible." But General Motors, which imports autos from Mexico to the United States, slumped 9.0 percent, while rival Ford dropped 2.6 percent. Overseas bourses were also buffeted by the news. European stocks followed losses in Asia, despite Trump excluding Europe as an immediate target for tariffs. "These are his first direct comments on tariffs and tariff levels since becoming president-elect, and they have roiled markets," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB trading group, ahead of the Wall Street open. "It is early days, and there are plenty of opportunities for Trump to direct his attention to Europe down the line," Brooks added. The US dollar rallied against its Canadian equivalent, China's yuan and Mexico's peso, which hit its lowest level since August 2022. In other economic news, the Conference Board's consumer confidence index rose to 111.7 this month, up from 109.6 in October, boosted by greater optimism surrounding the labor market. "November's increase was mainly driven by more positive consumer assessments of the present situation, particularly regarding the labor market," said Dana Peterson, chief economist at The Conference Board. Pantheon Macroeconomics chief US economist Samuel Tombs added in a note that the increase in consumer confidence overall "likely was driven by euphoria among Republicans." "The index also jumped in late 2016, when Mr. Trump was elected for the first time," he said. Federal Reserve meeting minutes showed policy makers expect inflation to keep cooling, signaling a gradual approach to interest rate cuts if price increases ease further and the job market remains strong.
