            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Bitcoin Halving is upon us! The halving happens once every four years. This is a great time to learn more about Bitcoin as the media — and sometimes friends and family — are talking about Bitcoin much more than usual.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*StAVV3nZeVAq6xtd" /></figure><p>This article will give you some great trusted resources where you can learn about this new system of value. Many people see Bitcoin as a source of financial freedom and hope in a world plagued by inflation and money printing from central bankers. Study Bitcoin, and you might see why so many people think this!</p><h3>Brief overview of Bitcoin</h3><p>In case you’re totally new and have only heard the word “Bitcoin” without knowing anything about it, here’s a brief overview: Bitcoin is a network of exchange that has all the best attributes of money. (It is scarce, divisible, durable, portable, etc.) There is a limited number that will ever exist (21 million), and its rules are not determined by whichever political party is in power but by rules encoded in software that everyone on the network agrees with.</p><h4>The Bitcoin Halving</h4><p>The halving happens every four years. More precisely, it happens every 210,000 blocks. It is called “the halving” because the amount of new bitcoin being issued gets cut in half. At the very beginning of the network, each block provided 50 new bitcoin to the network. At the first halving, that number dropped to 25. Then 12.5. Before this upcoming halving, the number is 6.25. After the 2024 halving, the number of new bitcoins issued to the network will be 3.125. This will happen every halving till the year 2140, when the last little bit of bitcoin will be issued. One fun fact about the 2024 halving is that it will make Bitcoin’s supply growth even less than gold’s. In other words, Bitcoin officially becomes the scarcest asset on earth!</p><p>What happens after the halving? For most people, not much will change immediately. Some people see it as an excuse to throw a party or get together with other Bitcoiners. Some Bitcoin miners shut down because they only make half the bitcoin they had been making, so it is no longer profitable. But many won’t even know the halving even happened (we’re still early!). But in past halvings, the months following the halving have led Bitcoin’s price in dollars and other fiat currencies to rise very quickly.</p><h3>Ways to Learn about Bitcoin</h3><p>You can find many people online who use the brand of Bitcoin as an excuse to talk about other crypto projects. Many of these people would rather pump their own project or a project they’re being paid to promote. All the resources in this article are Bitcoin-only sources. That means that they will not promote other projects to you. If you want to explore other projects, do so at your own risk! The more you study Bitcoin, the more you will likely see that it is <em>the</em> asset that will provide predictable, long-term stability that could be foundational for your wealth.</p><h4>Websites for Bitcoin Education</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/827/1*cDkfQpnExmfY95prkEJowg.png" /></figure><p><a href="https://bitcoin.rocks/">Bitcoin.Rocks</a> has a little bit of everything. If you’ve ever wanted to know how Bitcoin is related to human rights, equality, housing, crowdfunding, war, or any number of things, Bitcoin.Rocks has something for you. The website links videos or articles to each of these topics so you can learn more about whichever area is most interesting to you.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/900/0*xcdq53ld85hRin0a.png" /></figure><p><a href="https://www.bitcoin-explorama.com/">Bitcoin Explorama</a> is an excellent site if you like to see and interact with content throughout the learning process. The site is divided into three segments: The problem with fiat currencies, why Bitcoin fixes this, and why “cryptos” don’t.</p><blockquote>The Problem with Fiat Currencies.</blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*tgxCYQEYtEQvGPOErzu2BQ.png" /></figure><p>Fiat currencies refer to money that is printed by a central bank that only has value because the government says it does. You’ve probably only ever used fiat currency. The problem is, it’s easy to print and manipulate! This section includes a game where you see how quickly you can increase the money supply so your savings decrease. Think you can beat 4.20 seconds? I didn’t think so!</p><blockquote>Why Bitcoin Fixes This</blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/798/1*KybjDhPUMNTfeoGV9_4XZQ.png" /></figure><p>In this section, you learn about how Bitcoin is a public, worldwide, distributed, and governed by transparent and fixed rules. You can even get a better idea of what it looks like to have various nodes connected to each other with their interactive map.</p><blockquote>Why “Cryptos” Don’t</blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*_dMPzROR0Klc8xqlSNuEMQ.png" /></figure><p>It can be tempting to ape into a meme coin in hopes of becoming the next crypto millionaire. Generally, this doesn’t work because there is a group of people who received a bunch of coins before the official launch. They’ll pump it up to the public, then sell as soon as they get the chance. This will make some people rich, but it won’t be you! Bitcoin Explorama’s drag-and-drop feature is a great way to help you clarify why Bitcoin really is different from “cryptos.”</p><h4>YouTube Channels</h4><p>There’s no way to do all the great content out there justice. And some people will connect better with some channels than others. Here are a few with short explanations of each:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyBitcoin"><em>Simply Bitcoin</em></a> bills itself as “Your #1 source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution, covering breaking news, culture, mimetic warfare” and “the most-watched daily Bitcoin live show on YouTube, Rumble, and X.” If you’re looking for a show that is fresh and a bit irreverent, <em>Simply Bitcoin</em> is worth a listen or two.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FUq6vNKFBMQU%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DUq6vNKFBMQU&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FUq6vNKFBMQU%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/8f422fb39a7c28e0b6b7d6118c61dcae/href">https://medium.com/media/8f422fb39a7c28e0b6b7d6118c61dcae/href</a></iframe><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhatBitcoinDid"><em>What Bitcoin Did</em></a> is <em>probably</em> the most widely-listened-to podcast out there. Also on YouTube, the show features interviews with all sorts of guests from the Bitcoin world. The show is large enough to attract some of the biggest personalities in Bitcoin. The main host, Peter McCormack, also purchased his hometown’s football club, Real Bedford. He is using his platform to bring attention to his town and using Bitcoin to help his team advance through the English football system.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fx4-e5wq5AJ8%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dx4-e5wq5AJ8&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fx4-e5wq5AJ8%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/7aaeb8c0c93ea3f296f2596c97b07308/href">https://medium.com/media/7aaeb8c0c93ea3f296f2596c97b07308/href</a></iframe><p>Matthew Kratter hosts <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University"><em>Bitcoin University</em></a>. This channel has been around for years. If you have ever heard FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) about Bitcoin, Matthew has probably addressed it. The production quality is simple, but it means that he can quickly and easily publish great information. Bitcoin University is one of the best sources out there to answer just about any Bitcoin-related question you have.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F6pNgWuQDe5s%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6pNgWuQDe5s&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F6pNgWuQDe5s%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/3df0962973a9a9883259b763916b8f14/href">https://medium.com/media/3df0962973a9a9883259b763916b8f14/href</a></iframe><h4>Documentaries and Short Films</h4><p>There are a number of Bitcoin documentaries that have been made across the years. To keep up with Bitcoin films, check out <a href="https://bitcoinfilmfest.com/">Bitcoin Film Fest</a>. Here are a few films you can find on YouTube for free right now…</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FA06qdTpOYcg%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DA06qdTpOYcg&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FA06qdTpOYcg%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/70c411bc13e279f38bcb10a3af4fb097/href">https://medium.com/media/70c411bc13e279f38bcb10a3af4fb097/href</a></iframe><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A06qdTpOYcg&amp;ab_channel=Moconomy">“The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin,”</a> directed by Nicholas Mross, tells the story of Dan, a computer programmer from Pittsburgh. Dan discovers Bitcoin in 2011 and becomes fascinated with its potential. The documentary follows Dan’s journey as he delves deeper into the world of Bitcoin, balancing his busy life while actively participating in the Bitcoin community. Along the way, viewers are introduced to entrepreneurs and startups shaping the future of finance with Bitcoin. From the competitive mining market to the diverse subcultures within the Bitcoin community, the film explores the social and political impact of this revolutionary digital currency. Ultimately, it poses the question: will Bitcoin’s rise bring about a monetary revolution that changes the world forever?</p><p>This documentary gives a picture of the earlier days of Bitcoin. Interestingly, a number of people in this documentary have moved to other projects after realizing that they couldn’t change Bitcoin to what they wanted rather than the consensus of the network. For a more recent look, there is our next documentary.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fe0plyXEc1Ak%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3De0plyXEc1Ak&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fe0plyXEc1Ak%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/a8e59c08b15f87e1d7c300ba13a92eba/href">https://medium.com/media/a8e59c08b15f87e1d7c300ba13a92eba/href</a></iframe><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0plyXEc1Ak&amp;ab_channel=Moconomy">“The Great Reset and the Rise of Bitcoin,”</a> directed by Pierre Corbin, explores how money has changed over time. (Skip ahead to <a href="https://youtu.be/e0plyXEc1Ak?feature=shared&amp;t=1920">32:00</a> to hear about why the people mentioned above left Bitcoin in frustration).</p><p>This documentary talks about how governments used to tie money to gold, but now they can print as much as they want without anything to back it up. This can make money less valuable and hurt regular people. But then there’s Bitcoin, created by someone named Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is different because there’s only a limited amount of it, and no one can change that. It’s like digital gold. The movie explains how Bitcoin works and why it’s important for the future of money. It helps people understand why things are the way they are and how Bitcoin could change them.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F3Rnqst5qCgA%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3Rnqst5qCgA&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F3Rnqst5qCgA%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/b549477a406bf51269c753800cf0ec61/href">https://medium.com/media/b549477a406bf51269c753800cf0ec61/href</a></iframe><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rnqst5qCgA&amp;ab_channel=SwanBitcoin">“Bitcoin Is Generational Wealth”</a> is a short film rather than a documentary. It is produced by Swan Studios and written by Tomer Strolight and explores the transformative potential of Bitcoin. Throughout history, civilizations have experienced cycles of rise and fall, often linked to the stability of their monetary systems. Today, as we witness another decline, Bitcoin emerges as a groundbreaking solution.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When launching into the competitive gaming industry, it’s crucial to make an unforgettable entrance. Through their agency, Spacefwd, <a href="https://innit.audio/">Innit</a>, an innovative audio technology company, aimed to revolutionize gaming experiences with its state-of-the-art soundscapes. With the official launch on the horizon, Innit sought to capture the gaming community’s attention, ensuring they stood out in a sea of new tech.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*_tNQeRD4Md_cSDny" /><figcaption><a href="https://innit.audio/">Innit</a></figcaption></figure><p>Enter <a href="http://addslice.com/advertise">Slice</a>, the advertising platform that turns viewers into stakeholders. Innit partnered with Slice to harness the power of non-intrusive advertising, reaching out to the “invisible 40%” of internet users who traditionally block ads. With Slice, Innit managed to broadcast its message to an audience that’s typically hard to engage.</p><h3>The Campaign</h3><p>Innit’s advertising strategy included two main channels: a push campaign and a native campaign. The <a href="https://docs.addslice.com/push">push campaign</a> boasted 378,712 impressions, engaging users directly through notifications and prompts. This approach resulted in 3,350 clicks, with a cost per thousand impressions (CPM) of €0.885 and a click-through rate (CTR) of 0.88%. Each click cost Innit just €0.10, demonstrating the efficiency of Slice’s pricing model.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/966/0*jWYeW6Qdp04BZ2Y9" /><figcaption>Push ads</figcaption></figure><h3>Why Innit’s Campaign Stands Out</h3><h4>Targeted the Unreachable</h4><p>By partnering with Slice, Innit reached an audience that’s notoriously difficult to engage, thanks to the unique approach of rewarding viewers for ad engagement.</p><h4>Cost-Effective</h4><p>With a modest investment, Innit achieved substantial visibility, demonstrating the efficacy of Slice’s ad serving model.</p><h4>Quality Engagement</h4><p>The clicks Innit garnered were far from mere statistics; they signified keen individuals, primed to dive into what Innit promises, an audio experience that captures everything “from whispers to war cries.” This heightened interest in Innit’s offer wasn’t just by chance. Innit strategically targeted Tier 1 countries, aiming at an audience with the means for higher-end gaming setups, including premium headsets. This focus not only ensured quality engagement but also aligned with Innit’s mission to transform gaming audio for users demanding unparalleled soundscapes. By targeting markets with a propensity for advanced technology, Innit positioned itself effectively in the realm of gaming innovation, promising higher potential conversion rates among a discerning clientele.</p><h3>Looking Ahead</h3><p>Innit’s venture into the gaming industry is just beginning. With the momentum generated from their initial campaigns, they’re set to redefine gaming audio. For businesses looking to make an impact, especially in niche markets, Innit’s strategy with Slice offers valuable insights into achieving visibility, engagement, and conversion with precision and efficiency.</p><p>Interested in reaching the “invisible 40%” and making your launch as successful as Innit’s?

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What makes a Bitcoin company? It’s a question with many layers, reflecting Bitcoin’s multifaceted impact. Despite facing skepticism for not aligning with the traditional view of a Bitcoin entity, Slice stands out through its innovative use of Bitcoin to tackle real-world challenges and facilitate users’ first steps into owning sats. This unique approach not only addresses pressing issues but also integrates with the core principles of Bitcoin, promoting decentralization, innovation, and financial inclusion.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*tCSqP-DtGupzCmbW" /><figcaption>SliceGPT: The image showcases the transformation from a traditional, uninspired ad tech company to an exciting, Bitcoin-native company.

This initiative underscores the broader applicability and transformative capacity of Bitcoin technology across various industries, countries and demographics.</p><h4>Embracing a Bitcoin-Native Philosophy</h4><p>Our philosophy at Slice resonates with the concept of a <a href="https://tvp.fund/insights/defining-bitcoin-native/">“Bitcoin-Native Company,”</a> defined as an entity rooted in the principle of Bitcoin as the future’s global monetary asset and internet-native digital cash. This principle shapes our product development, ensuring our success is intertwined with Bitcoin’s prosperity. By integrating the Bitcoin protocol stack, we create unique value for our customers, driving both technical advancement and business model innovation.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/744/1*FhJNynb-TDtiK8J0mzSpKw.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://tvp.fund/insights/defining-bitcoin-native/">TVP Bitcoin Venture Fund’s working bitcoin definition</a></figcaption></figure><h4>The Lightning Network as a Catalyst</h4><p>Inspired by Michael Saylor’s <a href="https://youtu.be/sXoK_gdJ6qM?si=BClWvmobzcxOTZe7">“cyber hornets,”</a> the community around Slice — <a href="https://medium.com/@Msnice/on-the-genesis-of-slice-nation-fd40e111dd5b">Slice-Nation</a> — exhibits a profound dedication to innovation within the cryptocurrency sphere.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The digital advertising landscape is changing fast. Privacy concerns, the widespread use of ad blockers, and the diminishing returns of traditional ad models are just a few issues that businesses face. This isn’t just an intuition — research supports these concerns. This shift calls for a fresh look at how we do ads. It is time to reorient advertising strategies towards more respectful and engaging approaches.</p><p>In this article, we’ll look at the three areas highlighted above and see what recent studies suggest about them.</p><h4>Privacy Concerns.</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*WfiQlHMxi08Fc5NS9Vqcfw.png" /></figure><p>Privacy has become a top concern, <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-hits-meta-with-record-e1-2b-privacy-fine/">as shown</a> by the GDPR marking its fifth anniversary with a significant 1.2 billion euro fine against Meta. This highlights the serious implications of data misuse. This, along with other privacy regulations in the US, varying by state, has heightened user awareness about data vulnerability.</p><p><a href="https://consensus.app/papers/introducing-products-consumer-privacy-mediation-model-miltgen/7cc3dd9cebeb5a488667bb2ac382cea0/">Miltgen et al.’s</a> study from 2016 emphasized the importance of building consumer trust in modern advertising. This can be done by proactively addressing privacy concerns. This approach not only enhances the acceptance of advertising technologies but also meets the evolving expectations of digital-age consumers. By prioritizing privacy, companies can cultivate a trust-based relationship with their audience, fostering greater engagement and acceptance of innovative advertising models.</p><p>In 2018, <a href="https://consensus.app/papers/reactance-personalization-understanding-drivers-behind-brinson/674c2da8115f55db9d2f6a51eb474582">Brinson et al.</a> explored how too much personalization in ads can make people uncomfortable, leading to “reactance” — a fancy term for resistance or pushback. When ads get too personal, it feels like an invasion of privacy, prompting many to use ad blockers to protect themselves. This study suggests ads need to find a sweet spot: personalized enough to be relevant, but not so much that they scare people away. It’s about respecting privacy while making ads interesting and engaging.</p><h4>The Rise of Ad Blockers</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Dgb6k7PggEsOsD6veructg.png" /></figure><p>Ad blockers are on the <a href="https://backlinko.com/ad-blockers-users">rise</a>, due to the data privacy concerns discussed above. People are looking for ways to escape intrusive ads. This trend is a clear message that it’s time for ads that respect user space and preferences.</p><p>The study, “Inefficiencies in Digital Advertising Markets” by <a href="https://consensus.app/papers/inefficiencies-digital-advertising-markets-gordon/f21e0011b0835fde92456c3259889f19/">Gordon et al. (2019)</a>, critically examined the digital advertising landscape’s inefficiencies. The study focused on ad blocking, ad fraud, measurement challenges, and the complexities within advertising channels. They emphasized the need for innovative solutions that respect user privacy and engage audiences effectively. This highlights the need to evolve advertising strategies toward efficiency and trust to ensure a sustainable future for the industry. This research aligns with the call for more user-centric advertising models.</p><h4>Diminishing Returns for Advertisers</h4><p>With users tuning out traditional ads, there’s a push for new methods. Old-school ads aren’t cutting it anymore. People are tuning them out. That’s why ads that give something back to the viewer, like rewards, are starting to look like a better idea.</p><p>In their 2017 study,<a href="https://consensus.app/papers/incentivized-advertising-treatment-effect-adverse-chiong/f3921c151fb65f509a5bfcd515a273b4"> Chiong et al.</a> found that ads offering rewards, especially in mobile games, had a positive effect on ad engagement and conversions. They noted the importance of getting the reward balance right to keep people interested.</p><p>The research by<a href="https://consensus.app/papers/blocking-gritckevich/edbe5486736f5d079b1b15f636441c56/"> Gritckevich, Katona, &amp; Sarvary (2021)</a> discussed how ad blockers affect publishers’ earnings and content quality. They advocated for ad strategies that consider what users want and the financial realities publishers face, aiming for a win-win in digital advertising.</p><h4>Conclusion</h4><p>Putting all these pieces together, it’s clear we need a big change. Ads that respect privacy and give back to the viewer are a key first step to fixing a broken ad industry. This approach not only mitigates the challenges posed by ad blockers and privacy concerns but also promotes a more sustainable and effective ecosystem for digital advertising. By aligning advertising strategies with consumer expectations, the industry can foster a more engaging and mutually beneficial environment.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*rr2kWFp7ef8NiIGy" /></figure><p>Emerging technologies like the Lightning Network enable microrewards, enhancing the feasibility of incentivized advertising by facilitating small, instant payments. The future of ads is looking up, with more focus on what viewers want and less on just selling stuff</p><p>The future of ads is looking up, with more focus on what viewers want and less on just selling stuff. It’s about making ads that people actually like and trust.</p><p>/msn1ce</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=9461fb9284f2" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Next time your ideal customer needs what you provide, make sure you’re the first solution that comes to mind!</h4><p>Slice helped a new text-to-video service hit more than <strong>1,500,000 impressions for less than $700</strong>. Using Slice, the customer was not only able to reach potential users but also to reach a segment of the population that is otherwise impossible to reach with web ads. We call them the “invisible 40%” of the Internet — ad block users.</p><p>At Slice, we’ve decided to make ads more palatable to users by splitting our ad revenue with them. Each time someone sees an ad from Slice, they’re making money. So ad block users whitelist Slice ads — and <em>only</em> Slice ads — when they browse online.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*5wGuohyrV6zEjhL_UbeLYg.png" /></figure><p><a href="https://twisty.ai/">Twisty</a> is an AI-powered service that helps users turn a text prompt into an animated scene. The company calls itself “the #1 place to create amazing videos using just text prompts and your imagination.” Businesses want to capture their customers’ attention and creators want to leave an impression on their viewers with unique graphics. Twisty helps you to do this.</p><p>Using Slice’s <a href="https://docs.addslice.com/native">native ad format</a>, Twisty reached 1,500,000 impressions with a CTR of 0.79%. All this for less than $700.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/750/0*Ta1Os3qEzp7A5Ip8" /></figure><p>Slice’s $0.10 CPC default pricing model allows brands to reach a large user base without breaking the bank. In this scenario, $700 means 7,000 clicks to your website or offer, which is why you’re running ads in the first place!</p><p>Slice does the work of serving ads to our user base, and you only pay when someone is ready to click. Because of this model, Twisty was able to capture new leads at a very affordable price. But thanks to the large number of impressions they had with their campaign, they were able to get 1,500,000 touches closer to converting thousands of future customers.</p><p>If you are interested in advertising to the “invisible 40%,” reach out for a <a href="mailto:josh@addslice.com">1:1 consultation</a> today or simply <a href="https://addslice.com/advertise">sign up</a> and get started on your first campaign today.</p><p><a href="http://addslice.com/advertise"><em>Sign up for your first campaign now!</em></a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=68196c9c2163" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

For us at Slice, this year has been nothing short of a whirlwind adventure of exponential growth, community building, and groundbreaking partnerships. From the transformative experience at <a href="http://wolfnyc.com">Wolf </a>to redefining digital advertising, let’s dive into our journey and the milestones that have shaped Slice.</p><p>🐺 <strong>Wolf Accelerator — A Howling Success</strong></p><p>Breaking the silence following the conclusion of Wolfpack 3, it’s time to spill the beans about our rollercoaster ride at Wolf. Eight weeks ago, we stepped into this journey with ambition and dreams. Today, we’re a testament to the power of mentorship, innovation, and the electric energy of NYC.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*df4yS8S7RvEYeW2NaqFYQw.png" /></figure><p>Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, Wolf isn’t your average accelerator. It’s an eight-week journey, akin to an epic school trip led by the most visionary of teachers, mixed with the intensity of a mentorship-driven boot camp. Up there on the 64th floor, it’s a place where you’re inspired to dream bigger, think differently, embrace change, and leap into action.</p><p><em>For those contemplating the Wolf accelerator journey, here’s our distilled wisdom</em>:<br>1. Do it.<br>2. Show up.<br>3. Be humble.<br>4. Trust your gut, absorb the wisdom around you, sync with your team, and then, just do it.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?type=text%2Fhtml&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;schema=twitter&amp;url=https%3A//twitter.com/_WolfNYC/status/1734323569226555903%3Fs%3D20&amp;image=" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/f6c1e19674a2272b2f1f88f251ec5181/href">https://medium.com/media/f6c1e19674a2272b2f1f88f251ec5181/href</a></iframe><h4>📈 Skyrocketing Growth</h4><p>Numbers aren’t just digits; they’re a testament to our relentless grind for innovation and user empowerment.

This year, we evolved into <a href="https://medium.com/@Msnice/on-the-genesis-of-slice-nation-fd40e111dd5b">Slice Nation</a> — a defiant collective that’s had enough of the attention economy’s unpaid tolls. Our Discord server has become a bustling hub of 50,000 active members, each a vital part of our journey.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*mtaHI-k7YNj5NM4O8ODrQQ.png" /></figure><h4>⚡ Lightning Strikes Twice</h4><p>Our adoption of the Lightning Network for transactions was more than a tech choice; it was a commitment to instant, borderless access to digital earnings.

This year has seen us forge partnerships with over 10 new advertising network allies, including industry juggernauts like Outbrain and Taboola. These partnerships are not just about numbers; they’re about creating a fairer digital ecosystem where users are rewarded for their attention.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*XC7XjjWAycYdKfog0kobsg.png" /></figure><h4>🛣️ <strong>The Road to 300 Million Ads per Month</strong></h4><p>With the foundation laid and the momentum gained, we’re setting our sights even higher.
