The FIFA partnership could not sustain the price of ALGO. When possibly do we see a new ATH?
Being a while and we might never see it again. In the meantime, the best is to join the governance sessions. They are in governance period 5 at the time.

Exclusive interview: Algorand interim CEO Sean Ford says “Our time is now”
https://cryptoslate.com/exclusive-interview-algorand-interim-ceo-sean-ford-says-our-time-is-now/
Quote
In the Algorand ecosystem, these tools are known as “Algorand state proofs,” which Sean describes as” genuinely transformative tech” and “the first step into a truly decentralized trustless bridge that will allow assets on any chain to be exchanged and interoperable with assets on any other chain without having to use centralized points of failure. That is pretty revolutionary. I am excited about interoperability and state proofs in Algorand in particular.”

“Now is the time to move forward,” he states: “Our time is now.”

Algorand flies high: the partnership with FIFA is working
https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2022/11/25/algorand-flies-with-the-fifa-partnership/
Quote
Algorand: the partnership with FIFA for the World Cup in Qatar realized in early October, is finally showing fruit.
Thanks to the drop of the NFT collection, FIFA + Collect and its new update, the Algorand blockchain has had a 15% increase in just a few days since the start of the World Cup.
FIFA+ collect and its new update drive Algorand’s price up
The deal in question will make Algorand the official blockchain platform of FIFA and provide the sports giant with an official blockchain-supported wallet solution. For its part, Algorand will benefit from FIFA’s sponsorship, becoming a regional supporter of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and an official sponsor of FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023.
The new digital collectibles platform enables soccer fans around the world to own unique digital collectibles at affordable prices. Fans can purchase images and moments from the game, via sachet packs of FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women’s World Cup NFT “stickers” from some of the greatest historical matches.
FIFA Director of External Affairs Romy Gai stated:
“Fandom is changing and soccer fans around the world are engaging with the game in new and exciting ways. This exciting announcement makes FIFA collectibles available to all soccer fans, democratizing the opportunity to own a piece of the FIFA World Cup. Just like sports memorabilia and stickers, this is an accessible opportunity for fans around the world to interact with their favorite players, moments and more on new platforms.”
With the new update, released as early as the world started, the FIFA+ platform has registered thousands of users. A small step toward the future of a more modern, digital fanbase.
FIFA President Infantino announced:
“I look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with Algorand. The partnership is a clear indication of Fifa’s commitment to continually seek innovative channels for sustainable revenue growth for further investment in soccer, providing transparency to our stakeholders and fans around the world.”
Algorand claims to be the most efficient, environmentally friendly and secure platform in the world
We are talking about a particularly heartfelt and relevant project within the crypto and blockchain-loving community.
Indeed, by many specialists in the field, Algorand is regarded as one of the most interesting and useful projects currently in existence.
Endorsed by a large group of engineers and computer scientists, Algorand’s goal is to redesign blockchain technology so that it becomes infinitely scalable. Algorand aims to create a borderless economy through its decentralized, permissionless public blockchain.
The words of its founder, MIT professor Silvio Micali:
“Algorand has removed the technical barriers that have undermined traditional blockchain adoption for years. We designed Algorand’s blockchain to give global innovators the fundamental confidence they need to implement change.”
The way Algorand works is essentially based on these three parameters: scalability, decentralization and security. Indeed, the Algorand team wants to offer an efficient and ultimate solution to the so-called “Blockchain Trilemma,” which is the co-presence of the above three factors that would ideally make a blockchain “perfect.”
With its new partnership with FIFA, it has earned the position of Official Sponsor of the event, a great stage to showcase its platform so cherished in the crypto ecosystem.

Singapore, Tuesday, September 27th, 2022 - AXL Ventures, located in Australia, was created to launch innovative accelerator programs for the Algorand ecosystem. Created and supported by Optio Capital, AXL is perfectly positioned to help the next wave of startups accelerate to excel.

the video is very easy to understand, the image quality is also quite bright. By the way, when is this project open for presale? I want to recommend it to investors

The kinkiest crypto on the defi landscape, algo has failed to stand up to its claims to show a decent return to the investors. Oddly enough, nobody even expected it to output a dapper gain, let alone revolutionize the defi sector. It had stayed dormant for months until the recent altcoin rally and even then largely failed to come round when bitcoin peaked in may. Dead and unable to be resurrected and a total failure in every measure.
Everyone has their own opinion and vision, but I think that Algorand has every chance to grow in value and attract new users.
Algorand is developing very fast. More than 500 projects are developing applications based on its blockchain. The coin has a real demand, project's blockchain can be used in different spheres: from payment applications to DeFi-protocols and NFT.
