Which bike is this?

Of a retiree, of course.

The German sports car powerhouse has taken over Greyp, a Croatian company specializing in the development and production of smart and luxury electric mountain bikes, which can cost up to $ 10,000 per pair.

Poresh has so far held ten percent of the company's shares, which it bought in 2018, but has now, as stated, acquired most of them. 

The person behind Grip is the 33-year-old car entrepreneur Mate Remak, sometimes referred to as the "Croatian Ayalon Musk".

Remac itself took over earlier this month the Bugatti sports car brand (which until recently belonged to Volkswagen, Porsche's parent company) and calls the new company Remac-Bugatti.

Porsche is not the only carmaker that is squinting in the direction of the electric bike sector, whose sales have risen by hundreds of percent in recent years, also because of the Corona plague.

Jeep, Hammer, General Motors and even Harley-Davidson are also investing in the meteoric-growing industry.

A journey between collectors

Panko Pop is expanding its blockchain-based NFT "dolls" offering, which it first launched a few months ago, and is now releasing a new series of rare digital collectors' items with classic "Star Trek" characters, including Captain Kirk, Spock, Scotty And more.

Those who buy a pack of digital collection cards for a few tens of dollars will also receive a physical doll to put on the shelf, but it is impossible to ignore the criticism that the new "Star Trek" series provokes among fans.

Beyond the usual theory of digital "collectibles" are a bubble that is about to burst, when it comes to "journey" the idea becomes even more ironic.

After all, in the futuristic world of the series, which advocates equality and abundance for all, digital duplicators and state-of-the-art 3D printers are capable of creating objects effortlessly, and money is not exactly a factor.

It must therefore be concluded that being the "owner" of a computer image that can be infinitely duplicated (or even made into a screenshot) will not so much catch on in the age of the Enterprise spaceship, and Mr. Spock will most likely say that it really does not make sense.

In short, humanity has a long way to go.

Everyone's ticking

Tiktok has recruited Shabon Charles, an entrepreneur, media woman, creator and American musician, to the new position of "Director of Communication, Diversity and Inclusion."

Charles, who previously worked for Twitter and Instagram, will be responsible, among other things, for promoting works by minorities and for dealing with the phenomena of racism and bullying on the social network, which is aimed primarily at young people.

“As a black artist, I am very excited to join the Tiktok team and continue to encourage creators who are not properly represented,” Charles said.

In the past year Tiktok has set itself the goal of improving its relationship with black creators, after some of them complained that the network did not recognize their contribution to the platform.

Last summer some of them even went on a virtual strike and did not upload content to Tiktok, to illustrate how important their contribution is.
