by Romain Torres

ArcAds.ai is an AI-powered video ad platform that helps marketers generate and scale ad creatives without production costs.

Bitcloud

Bitcloud is an invite-only, blockchain-based social network that lets users buy and sell 'creator coins' tied to people's reputation and popularity. Pre-loaded accounts for the top 15,000 Twitter influencers with founder rewards (ranging up to $50k+) have driven viral adoption among early adopters, who report 5-10x returns in days. However, the platform currently has no withdrawal mechanism, causing skepticism about whether it's a long-term protocol or speculative bubble.
