Get Festival-Ready! 5 Ways to Prep Your Body for the Ultimate Music Fest with Bear Brand Sterilized

 

Music lovers, are you ready to dance, jump, and rock out all night long? The Fusion Music Festival is just around the corner, and Bear Brand Sterilized is here to make sure you FEEL MALINIS, FEEL MATIBAY so you can bring your A-game to the mosh pit, dance floor, and sing-along sessions!

To help you last through the epic lineup without running out of energy, here are five fun and effective ways to get festival-fit—because strong bones, endurance, and immune system are the real VIP passes to a legendary night!

1. Strengthen Those Festival Feet with Calf Raises

You’ll be standing, walking, and dancing for hours, so let’s make sure your legs can keep up! Do calf raises every morning—stand on your toes, lift your heels, and lower back down. It’s a simple yet effective move to keep your feet from cramping up during your favorite set!

2. Build Your Stamina with High-Intensity Jumps

Music festivals = nonstop jumping! Whether you're headbanging at a rock set or bouncing to an EDM drop, your legs and lungs need stamina. Start doing jump squats and burpees a few weeks before the festival. These will boost your endurance and make sure you’re not gasping for air after just one song.

Festival Fuel: Drinking Bear Brand Sterilized before and after workouts can help you recover faster and develop that Tibay Resistensya, so you’re always ready for another round of jumps!

3. Power Up Your Core for Those Dance Moves

Let’s be real—no one wants to be that person who runs out of energy mid-dance. Strengthen your core with planks, Russian twists, and bicycle crunches to keep up with every beat drop! A solid core also helps with balance, so you don’t lose your footing in a sea of festival-goers.

4. Hydration is Key—Drink Smart!

Festival heat + hours of dancing = dehydration danger! Start hydrating days before and choose drinks that replenish nutrients, not just quench thirst.

Festival Hack: Bear Brand Sterilized isn’t just a great source of hydration—it’s packed with fortified nutrients like calcium, B-vitamins, and zinc to help you feel malinis, feel matibay so you can be ready for every beat drop.

5. Stretch It Out to Avoid Post-Festival Soreness

No one wants to wake up feeling like a zombie after the festival. Stretch your legs, back, and shoulders before heading out to the venue to avoid muscle aches the next day. A quick yoga session or dynamic stretching will do the trick!

Recovery Tip: Giving your body the right nutrients helps with muscle recovery, so you wake up the next day ready for round two—or just reminiscing about the epic night you had!

Music festivals aren’t just about the lineup—they’re about pure energy, unforgettable moments, and dancing like nobody’s watching. Bear Brand Sterilized has your back in these exciting moments. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, it helps strengthen your bones, keeps your energy levels up, and ensures you power through every performance to help you FEEL MALINIS, FEEL MATIBAY.

So, drink up, prep like a pro, and get ready for a festival experience you’ll never forget. See you at the Fusion Music Festival—let’s make memories that last a lifetime!

Mark your calendars for March 15, be at CCP Open Grounds, and don’t miss out on this incredible event! Secure your tickets at https://www.ticketmelon.com/praxis/fusion-2025. Let the music and winning moments begin!

XRP News Today! U.S. Government's Crypto Strategy: A Game-Changer for XRP?

The U.S. government has unveiled its Digital Asset Stockpile, including XRP, Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana, but will not actively buy more. Could Ripple’s SEC fine be settled in XRP? Discover the latest developments and potential market impact.

The U.S. government is making significant moves in the cryptocurrency space, though not in the way many had anticipated. Recently, President Donald Trump confirmed that while the U.S. will not actively purchase more altcoins, it will maintain a stockpile of digital assets acquired through legal actions.

The United States Digital Asset Stockpile

This newly established U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile will include XRP, Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana. However, the government has explicitly stated that it will not be making additional purchases beyond assets acquired through legal proceedings.

This revelation has sparked considerable speculation, especially concerning XRP’s potential role in this reserve.

Could Ripple's SEC Fine Be Paid in XRP?

One of the most intriguing developments is the potential for Ripple to settle its $125 million SEC-imposed fine in XRP.

The company was recently fined for selling XRP without proper registration, and as part of the agreement, Ripple proposed placing the fine amount in escrow, a request that the SEC approved under a court-sanctioned deal. However, it remains unclear whether these funds are held in U.S. dollars or XRP.

Crypto analyst Yassin Mobarak suggests that since the government is establishing a digital asset stockpile, there is a possibility that the SEC may accept XRP as payment instead of cash.

If this happens, it would mark the first instance of the U.S. government holding XRP, potentially aligning its interests with the XRP community and reducing regulatory roadblocks for the cryptocurrency’s broader adoption.

Legal Perspectives on XRP as Payment

Legal expert Jeremy Hogan has weighed in on the possibility of Ripple settling its fine in XRP. He cites the 1869 Supreme Court case Willard v. Tayloe, which permitted contract settlements in gold rather than dollars.

Hogan argues that, under similar reasoning, Ripple and the SEC could agree to an XRP payment, provided that both parties consent.

However, a significant challenge remains: the penalty must typically be directed to the U.S. Treasury.

Yet, since the Treasury is overseeing the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, Hogan believes this could provide a legal workaround, potentially allowing Ripple to transfer an equivalent amount of XRP instead of cash.

Market Impact and XRP's Future

Should Ripple pay its fine in XRP, the implications could be profound. If the U.S. government officially holds XRP, it may have an incentive to support its value, which could lead to reduced regulatory pressure and greater mainstream adoption.

While no official decision has been made, this possibility has generated optimism among XRP supporters.

Bitcoin Gets the Spotlight, While XRP Remains in Limbo

Despite XRP’s inclusion in the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, the government’s primary focus remains on Bitcoin. Trump recently signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, underscoring Bitcoin’s role as a long-term asset for the U.S. government.

Meanwhile, XRP, along with other altcoins like Solana and Cardano, has been left in an uncertain position.

Analysts, including Tyler Winklevoss and Willy Woo, argue that Bitcoin is the only truly geopolitically neutral digital asset, akin to gold. Woo has voiced skepticism over the viability of a Strategic XRP Reserve, questioning whether other nations would be willing to transact with a U.S.-controlled XRP supply.

Market Reaction and Crypto Summit Expectations

Following Trump’s announcement, XRP retreated to $2.50 as investors awaited further clarification at the upcoming White House Crypto Summit.

The summit is expected to shed light on Trump’s broader strategy for crypto reserves and the potential role of XRP, Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana.

Meanwhile, a Polymarket poll places the odds of an XRP reserve being officially established at only 29%, reflecting widespread skepticism. Despite this, optimism remains high regarding the potential approval of an XRP spot ETF by the SEC, with odds nearing 80%.

Conclusion

Trump’s evolving cryptocurrency strategy represents a significant shift in U.S. policy, with Bitcoin emerging as the government’s preferred asset. While XRP and other altcoins may be included in the Digital Asset Stockpile, their future remains uncertain.

The upcoming White House Crypto Summit could provide further clarity, but for now, the market remains on edge, with investors closely watching for any unexpected policy shifts.

Additionally, you’ll gain insights into company structures, minimum investment requirements, and resources to ensure compliance with foreign investment regulations. By the end of this article, you’ll be well-equipped to conquer the challenges of business license applications in Indonesia, propelling you towards a successful venture in the archipelago.

The Evolving Landscape of Business Licensing

Gone are the days of cumbersome, multi-agency application processes. In 2019, Indonesia introduced the Online Single Submission System (OSS), a game-changer for business licensing.  The OSS streamlines the process, functioning as a one-stop shop for obtaining your Business Identification Number (NIB) and various licenses. This transparency and efficiency make starting a business in Indonesia more attractive than ever.

Types of Business Licenses in Indonesia

The specific business license you require depends on your company’s structure and activities. Here’s an overview of the most common licenses:

Business Identification Number –Nomor Induk Berusaha(NIB): This mandatory business identification number acts as your company’s unique identifier in Indonesia and is the first step in the licensing process.Construction Business License –Surat Izin Usaha Jasa Konstruksi(SIUJK): If your company provides construction services, such as contractor or as an architect you’ll need this license.Other Industry-Specific Licenses: Depending on your industry, additional licenses might be necessary. For instance, restaurants require a Hygiene Permit, while manufacturers might need an Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL).

The Business License Application Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

Now that you understand the different licenses, let’s delve into the application process:

Company Establishment: Before applying for licenses, ensure your company is legally established. This typically involves registering your company with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MOLHR).NIB Acquisition: Through the OSS platform, you’ll submit your company details, choose your desired business activities, and pay the associated fees to obtain your NIB.Specific License Application: Depending on your chosen business activities, you’ll need to apply for the relevant licenses (SIUJK, etc.) either through the OSS or to the relevant minstry. This might involve submitting additional documents specific to your industry.Review and Approval: The OSS system will review your application and request any missing information. Once approved, you’ll receive your official business license.

Documents Required for Business License Application

The specific documents required will vary depending on your chosen business structure and license type. However, some general documents you might need include:

A copy of your company’s Articles of Association (AOA)Your company’s NIBProof of company domicile (e.g., lease agreement)Identity documents of company directors and shareholdersPower of Attorney (if applying through a representative)Industry-specific documents (e.g., environmental impact analysis report for certain industries)Understanding Company Structures and Minimum Investment Requirements

The type of business license you require can also be influenced by your chosen company structure. Here’s a closer look at some common structures for foreign-owned companies in Indonesia:

Penanaman Modal Asing(PMA): This translates to “Foreign Direct Investment Limited Liability Company” and is the most popular option for full foreign ownership (up to 100%). However, there’s a paid up ccapital requirement of IDR 10 billion (approximately USD 680,000+), excluding land and building assets.Representative Office (RO): An RO allows a foreign company to establish a presence in Indonesia for limited activities like market research or promotion. ROs cannot directly engage in commercial activities.

Understanding Positive Investment List

The Indonesian government maintains a Positive Investment List that outlines specific business sectors where foreign ownership are opened or restricted.  It’s crucial to check the Positive Investment List before finalizing your company structure and business activities to ensure compliance.
