https://www.blockchained.news/2021/04/the-biggest-event-in-cryptocurrency.html

Why are the generation five games so expensive all of a sudden?

why though? all the other games for the other generations are relatively cheap, whats special about gen 5 that people are willing to pay 100$< for it? What series of events lead to this happening? is there a shortage of them? were they really good games? are the generation five pokemon games the new bitcoin? should i invest?

Why is this crypto bull run different?

Let’s compare this bull run with precedent ones, notably 2017, 2013, and 2011.

Why is this Bitcoin bull run different? - DecentraNews -

- The halving event
- The big bad virus and massive printing
- Media is changing its tone
- Institutional money

I am not saying it cannot go to $400K in this bull run, but Bitcoin won’t x20 at every halving. That would be too easy and everyone would be a Bitcoin billionaire. It will stabilize until the adoption cycle has ended. The floor of the next bear market cannot be determined until we have actually seen the top of this bull market. But I think the floor will be much higher than what most people think. I don’t think we will see a $40K Bitcoin again.

Happy trading or HODLing!

Is there any reason I should hold coins other than ETH and BTC?

Back in 2017 I traded a large number of different coins, including so called ETH killers, before coming to my senses and consolidating my gains into only ETH and BTC (luckily before the alt market collapsed 90%). I managed to stack a nice portfolio of ETH/BTC but now I'm starting get the itch that I need to diversify more. I have a bit of shell shock because during my period of heavy investing I also picked a number of duds that were so called ETH killers (FSN, ZIL, etc.).

As it stands, I'm not chasing quick 10-100x gains, and would be more than happy if my portfolio did a 5-10x in 5-10 years. Over the last month I've been researching diversification options, and I can't pull the trigger on anything and keep coming away unimpressed with the options. I'll lay out a few of my hesitations below, am I missing something big, overly biased, do I need to hedge against an ETH 2.0 failure scenario or some other black swan type event with such a narrow portfolio.

Cardano

I don't see how it can do anything ETH 2 + L2s won't be able to do. I don't like the appeal to authority with what I feel is an overemphasis on peer reviewed papers. I come from a software engineering background, and peer review is generally not the gold standard of how secure systems get built in the real world. It's not like ETH doesn't have research and peer review, they just don't go on and on about it. They also talk a lot about using formal methods, which again is not some magic foolproof way to write bug free code, but simply a tool in the tool bet. I also don't like the whole virtue signaling thing with trying to save Africa. If a coin can serve a community it will eventually be adopted, you don't need to force partnerships to drive a narrative that you're serving the poor people in the world.

Polkadot

I recently heard Gavin talking on the unchained podcast, and he made a lot of excuses about the past security failings of parity, and that gave me a lot of pause. A strong leader admits mistakes rather than blaming them on limited resources or other problems. DOT also claims to be vastly different from what ETH 2 is shaping up to be, but I think it's just a similar system disguised with different terminology. They propose a heterogeneous blockchain environment with a single relay chain. To me that sounds exactly like ETH 2 plus a variety of independently built L2s. I give the advantage here to ETH, because L2s can be built organically rather than having to be blessed by and run on Polkadot. The polkadot approach feels like too much central planning, and I think that prevents the market from deciding which types of L2s will be most useful.

Polygon

This one I actually find somewhat interesting, but as an ETH L2, it's a bet on ETH, and I'm already betting on ETH. I'm not convinced it would outpace just holding ETH in the long term, and I think it will face stiff competition as more L2s come online. I also heard the team is having trouble attracting enough developer talent to build out their system, which doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

Cosmos

All I know about it is that it's like Polkadot, but each chain doesn't inherit the security of the main chain. Maybe I need to learn more about it, but on the face of it, this seems like a terrible design choice. And again, what would it be able to do that ETH + L2s won't?

Algorand

I listened to the founder on the Lex Fridman podcast, and he made a lot of claims about the superiority of their chain without discussing any of the drawbacks. They claim to have solved the trilemma of decentralization, security, and scalability, but from what I can see the network is actually very centralized, so it appears their solution is a fraud. I don't care if the founder has a turing award and invented ZkSnarks. In case you can't tell, I hate appeals to authority.

Solana

Oh look, they've solved all the scaling problems... by throwing more hardware at it and basically taking the Bitcoin Cash approach to increased throughput by insane chain bloat. Again, a team that preaches all their chain can do without being upfront about what the tradeoffs are. I don't see how this doesn't become super centralized. I heard one of the founders on the unchained podcast recently, and he didn't inspire a lot of confidence. He seemed to have a hard on for the idea of Visa maybe using them someday in the future as a settlement layer and didn't view the token as a store of value. This coin feels like it's straight out of silicon valley tech bro culture as the founders had little interest in crypto until they realized they could make a fortune starting their own during the last bull run.

DeFi tokens

I have no doubt DeFi is going to be a multi trillion dollar market itself, but betting on DeFi is betting on ETH, and I'm already doing that. I'm sure short term gains could be bigger, but I'm not sure I want to take on the stress of trying to pick winners. Also, the fact that tokens can be valued in a traditional way based on revenue gives them a price ceiling that ETH does not have. Is it worth just allocating a small position to something like DPI?

Yield farming

I'm super hesitant here, because I don't want to be caught picking up pennies in front of a steamroller. 20% returns are great until there's a hack or some other unforeseen event and it wipes out all your gains and your principal. I honestly don't see the point of chasing small gains like these if ETH can double in a year. I'd rather take the slower and safer approach.

So there you have it, I'm really trying not to be an ETH/BTC maximalist, but I just can't find any reason not to be. None of the other projects seem to have a compelling value proposition, and most fail to state the tradeoffs they've made in their architectures. Of the projects that are interesting, they all seem to be built on ETH, which doesn't help with hedging against and ETH 2.0 failure case.

Why is this Bitcoin bull run different?

Let’s compare this bull run with precedent ones, notably 2017, 2013, and 2011.

Back to Back Backpack Part One: Zion National Park

Where: Zion National Park - The Lodge to Lee Pass

When: 2021/04/04 - 2021/04/06

Distance: 39 miles. Full traverse cannot be completed currently due to landslide on the trail leading to the East Rim out of the main valley. I walked up from Springdale and started before The Grotto to pad my mileage a bit

Conditions: clear skies. warm days and cool nights. 75/45 with light winds. I can't imagine having had better weather conditions.

Lighterpack: https://lighterpack.com/r/jz8qky

Useful Pre-Trip Information or Overview: I was able to snag a permit online in a fairly straightforward manner. No major surprises there. Water sources are well-marked, but unreliable. This is my first trip to the zone so I do not have much to offer. I will say that arranging a shuttle to drop the car off at Lee Pass so that it was there when we finished was challenging. It seems that many shuttles are not currently running to the west end because they are taking up slack in town and the main canyon for the shuttles that have stopped running through Springdale (hearsay). I recommend calling the hotels and see if they have contact information for any individual drivers willing to take the fare. We got hooked up with a guy who made that bit of the logistical puzzle easier.

Photo Album: https://imgur.com/a/dbSa97W

I had phone AND camera issues on this trip and so I missed out on pics from the second half of day two onward which is a bummer because the last day through Hop Valley to Lee Pass is unreal.

The Report:

Day One - no one opens early for breakfast in Springdale except for one spot which was zoo'd...so we got a somewhat slower start. Fortunately, backpackers get free access to the shuttle service so we were up and in to the park early enough.

We got out and started at The Lodge to get a little warm up before heading up Angel's Landing. Emerald Pools was awesome. I dropped my camera getting my rig fitted correctly and broke my new UV filter which was not awesome. The crowd at Angel's Landing is fkn gross and lame and full of derps...we pushed right on through.

Water was low coming out of the canyon so I was looking for snow melt...this led to a little off-trail fun. I left my sunglasses in the car and was having issues with the bright light off the bare rock and white sand trails...I rigged up a ninja mask with my bandana.

The spring at the top of the rim was a trickle, but did the trick. We ate, napped, and pushed on. The views during the second half made the Angel's Landing queue look even more ridiculous...the main event is the West Rim Trail.

We ran in to a couple named Bobby and June and chatted for a bit...upon departing Bobby asked if we needed anything and I joked that I could use a pair of sunglasses...June laughed because she had been making fun of Bobby for having two pair on him. I gave them two beers and some whiskey for the pair and decided that forthwith I now call sunglasses Bobby'n'Junes.

Example: I bought a new pair of Bobby'n'Junes to replace the Bobby'n'Junes I lost on the trip.

It was a very eventful first day!

Day Two - We were out of camp by 8a and got some good miles behind us before watering up at Sawmill Spring. We had a picnic overlooking the western park of the park, took our time to Wildcat Spring, and generally relished the flat to downhill pitch of the day's miles.

Nothing interesting happened; great success.

Day Three - Hop Valley is hard work, but damn it is something else in there. I hiked barefoot through a lot of it...the sand is so soft and brutal on those glutes! Lots of water crossings all the way down the valley.

There were very few people on this side of the park except for hikers coming in to the La Verkin Creek sites. We had a great chat with a Ranger and ate up all the amazing views. I am very disappointed in my lack of photos through here.

Gear Notes:

First time with a bivy and I LOVED it. I get it now. Holy shit...I did not expect that.

I'm bringing cooked bacon on all trips now. It works in everything throughout the day. I put bits of it in to my trail mix. Try it!

Dehydrated broccoli is better than dehydrated broccolini...unless you like chewing on twigs, I guess.

Dehydrated watermelon really is all it is cracked up to be.

The Chicken Pho by Good to Go was really good; I like these guys.

The BlackRapid strap is better than the Peak Design clip. A Canon 7d even with a pancake 24mm is too much weight...I can wear the strap on my body with the pack over that and have my camera centered on my chest securely and quickly accessible. Sometimes the sternum and right shoulder strap restrict the range of the camera, but it is workable (and secure)

That said, this setup has got to go...I am looking at a mirrorless with 2-3 prime lenses for landscape, but I need my bitcoin to moon super fkn hard to come anywhere close to being able to afford that...

Why you should pay attention to today's GET protocol AMA in r / cryptocurrency

GET protocol is going to have an AMA today in r/CryptoCurrency (14th April 4PM UTC / 12PM ET) . Let me give you an introduction and why it's worth paying attention to this AMA.

Website: https://get-protocol.io

Artists who use GET

GET explainer video

Tradeable on: https://uniswap.info/token/0x8a854288a5976036a725879164ca3e91d30c6a1b
As well as Bittrex, Coinone, Liquid, Hotbit and Bilaxy

In my humble opinion GET protocol is a very undervalued project when it comes to fundamentals, adoption, tokenomics and potential. Let me explain why:

GET protocol solves an enormous problem: ticket scalping

I think we're all tired of the practices in the ticketing space: bots buy up tickets instantly and then resell them 2x, 5x, 10x or even more the original ticket price. Fans lose, artists lose, venues lose, ... while the money ends up in the pocket of scalpers who don't add any value to the process.

The secondary ticketing market is worth $15 billion. How long will fans have to pay?

GET protocol elminates ticket scalping by linking the ticket to your mobile phone. This means that at entry to a concert, sports game, ... you are only permitted entry with your mobile phone.

This is how it works:

The ticket is linked to your phone and simcard with a dynamic qr code that changes every 5-10 seconds.The NFT's can only be claimed and released in your wallet when the ticket for the event has been scanned. This makes sense as otherwise you could just send it to a potential buyer and operate as a scalper.Check this example of a sold out event:https://guts.events/knzvi8-guus-actie-final/h8fm6aif you go to "ticketmarket" you can see the tickets offered in the secondary market. This is the only way and place to sell your ticket (the event organizer determines at which rules). So you can buy a ticket from a (to you anonymous) buyer or as a seller sell it back into the system and the ticket is sold once the system finds a matching buyer. You remain anonymous to eachother..After scanning the ticket, the NFT of the ticket can be claimed and can be held as collectible, sold on rarible, ... artists will release special NFT tickets with special metadata in them.

They have sold over 600k tickets and not one was "scalped"

An example is famous Dutch artist Jochem Myjer who uses GET protocol integrator GUTS tickets:

https://twitter.com/jochemmyjer/status/1118589335060848641

“Weird how some venues still don’t get how great GUTS is. And are afraid of change. It’s easier for the audience. For artists there is no more reselling. And maaaany other advantages. #GoWithTheTimes”

The ticketing space is one where no one trusts another in terms of how many tickets were issued, what the original price was, ... It has been proven that even Ticketmaster themselves are involved in the scalping business. That's why blockchain is vital in all of this. The tickets are all registered on the blockchain as a mean of transparency and accountability. This means that fans can check ticket authenticity whenever they want and make sure that they aren't being taken for a ride.

Besides scalping it offers many more advantages to integrators:

Interaction with the ticket holders
Extra marketing tools
Data collection
Dynamic price setting
Merging of the primary and secondary market
...

GET protocol has a lot of adoption

As stated above, GUTS has sold 600k tickets using GET protocol. In the meanwhile more ticketing companies have started using it:

GUTS

Runs fully on the GET protocol and has sold over 600.000 tickets. Has grown into the biggest ticketeer in the Netherlands.https://guts.tickets

ITIX

Established in 2009 and sells 2 million tickets/year. Is fully integrated in the GET protocol and will start selling GET-fueled tickets soon.https://www.itix.nl

getTicket

A new ticketing company in South Korea that will run fully on the GET protocol. They already have deals with kpop stars to sell tickets for.http://getticket.kr

TecTix

A Germany based ticketing company that will sell GET fueled tickets with a focus on the sports industry.https://tec-tix.com

Wicket

The last to join is an Italian ticketing company. Despite being new they have already ticketed the Milano Wine festival in 2020 and will do so in 2021 as well. In 2019 this festival atracted more than 300.000 visitors.https://www.wicketevents.com

Integrating an existing ticketing company is a low investment move (only the GET token is needed) that offers traditional ticketing companies several benefits. With the whitelabel that has just been released, which makes it easy for any ticketing company to start using GET, I expect many ticketing companies to integrate and GET to scale quickly.

The team said in a recent AMA that they receive 3 requests on average every single day from ticketeers around the world wanting to integrate GET:

https://preview.redd.it/yq81jv8al3t61.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a047c1f0e2156d0d1dd6a2d71f556920e4fdf114

GET tokenomics

The GET tokenomics are built so that for every ticket issued 0,28€ (or 0,34$) worth of GET is needed by the ticketeers. They buy most of this from exchanges and some new clients in the beginning receive GET, subsidized from the User Grotwh Fund.

In 2020 ticketing volume in general was down like 90–99% due to corona. Yet GET managed to sell over 236k tickets. Or an increase of 27% compared to 2019.

This is a major indicator of their usecase being needed: despite covid19 they grew a lot and conquered a lot of marketshare from traditional ticketeers.

Tokenomics to push the price

If GUTS was able to sell 236k tickets in a year where ticketing volume is down at least 90% then I think it’s safe to assume that they’ll sell over 3 million tickets/year once everything is allowed again.

Add the new ticketing companies that integrated GET recently (getticket in Korea, Wicket Events in Italy and Tectix in Germany) and the team announced that several will be joining in the coming weeks then you’ll understand that we’ll be seeing millions of tickets processed by the GET protocol.

I’m willing to bet that we’ll see at least 10 million tickets in 2022:

10 million \ 0,34$ = 3.400.000$ in buybacks or close to 300.000 $ every month*

You can imagine what buybacks of 300k $ each month will do to the price, especialy considering that all this bought GET is burned after usage.

Of course with such an increase in buybacks & burns, GET will be recognised as truely deflationary through real world usage.

NFT tickets that will revolutionise ticketing

All tickets issued by the GET protocol are NFT's right now

This is a usecase endorsed by several entrepreneurs and yet overlooked in the crypto space. It's probably one of those very rare cases where crypto people are sleeping on something while entrepreneurs are not only endorsing it but expressing their desire to use it:

Ted Leonsis sees a blockchain future in ticketing
Mark Cuban Says Dallas Mavericks Are 'Talking About' Blockchain for NBA Ticketing
Barry Ritholtz: "Smart Tickets: Creators Capturing Secondary Market Sales"

These are just a few examples of NFT ticketing being endorsed as the future of ticketing. The fun part: GET protocol has no competition in this regard!

GET Protocol — The ticket NFT production line

Here's my take on why GET protocol's smart and blockchain registered tickets becoming NFT's will revolutionize the ticketing industry.

After the DeFi hype we’ve witnessed last year, the next hype in crypto that seems to be developing are NFT’s. In this case it isn’t about riding the hype. Tickets being NFT’s on the blockchain really makes sense and it will change ticketing as we know it. Let me explain…

So what’s a NFT exactly? NFT stands for non fungible token. This is a token that’s unique on the blockchain and not mutually interchangeable. This in contrast to for example Bitcoin where it doesn’t matter which Bitcoin you have (1 BTC = 1 BTC). Every ticket issued by the GET protocol will become a getNFT.

https://preview.redd.it/gkeyfrrcl3t61.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b79f3e3d8b45f6d010a7bbbca1f713c543dd89d

getNFTs are indivisible, meaning that a getNFT can only be held by 1 address at the same time. This ensures that whoever owns a certain NFT will be the only one to decrypt the QR code.

Eventhough GET’s NFT’s will be the most used, bought & traded NFT’s in the crypto space the goal isn’t to ride the hype. Ticketing + NFT = a match made in heaven. And here’s why:

As every ticket on the blockchain will become a NFT and thus unqiue, it will allow non custodial ownership of the ticket asset. This gives many interesting advantages but 2 stand out for me personally: P2P ticket trading & DeFi event financing.

P2P ticket tradingNFT’s will allow P2P ticket trading and GET’s almost done building it! Peer to peer ticket trading means that everyone who owns a getNFT ticket will be able to trade it with another “peer”. This will happen in a closed and regulated ecosystem. This means that certain rules can be set by the event organizer. For example:

The ticket can be sold for only x% profit
x% of the trade profit goes to the event organizer
a certain trading fee goes to the event organizer
…

This will be the first and only ticketing system that will allow ticket trading while at the same time making scalping impossible. Regulators have been struggling for a long time to solve this problem and what seemed impossible to achieve will be made possible by smart contracts! The impact of this will be huge and will change the ticketing space for the better.Additionally and not unimportantly it will give the event organizer an extra revenue stream. The money that right now for a large part goes to scalpers (the secondary ticket market is worth $15B) will be tapped into by the event organizers.

Why this is important

The advantage for GET holders is twofold:

The P2P market will atract more users (artists, venues, ticketing companies) of the GET protocol (= more GET needed in the primary market)
every ticket exchanged in the secondary market is an additional statechange (= more GET needed)

Event financingWithout a doubt one of the most promising and exciting things to look forward to in 2021 is the introduction of decentralized event financing to GET Protocol.Event organizers often struggle to get financing for their events. This doesn’t only apply to starting artists, but even to famous stars. The artists need to have a lot of capital in advance as they have to pay for the venues, organisation, … upfront while only receiving the money after the show is over. Enter GET’s DeFi solution!

The pre-financing of events for event-organizers is not a solution looking for a problem; it’s a widely known and used tool that enables event organizers to make the investments needed to get their shows or festivals off the ground.In the past we have encountered Event Organizers who select their ticketing partner solely based on the amount of money and loan conditions that they are offered up front.

Thanks to getNFT tickets you’ll be able to pre-finance events of your choice. You can choose to finance new artists (more risk/more APY) or established kpop stars (less risk/less APY).

This is how it will work:

https://preview.redd.it/mpg8kludl3t61.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3401cf431d55a637f27ec6a0b672220449af71a

If the concept seems complicated, here’s what you need to understand about GET’s decentralized financing solution:1.) Event organizers will be able to easily pre-finance their events. (Something they desperately crave.)2.) Investors will be able to invest in events of their choice, at a risk & reward level that they feel comfortable with.3.) The $GET token is an integral part of the financing process, as it is required for ‘skin in the game’ from

The advantage event financing for GET token holders will bring is again twofold:

As a GET holder you’ll be able to finance events and share in the profit of the ticket sales. This means that GET will allow you to profit without selling = passive income. An important note is that this is profit without inflation. While other DeFi projects give you returns by increasing the supply (and thus decreasing the value of the token) the returns here will not increase the GET supply, as the returns come from real profit(ticket sales).
As the GET token will be an integral part of this process, it will:- increase the buy pressure of the GET token (everyone who wants to participate will need GET)- decrease the supply (everyone who participates will have to locks his GET tokens).

For a deeper insight I recommend the blog below:

https://medium.com/get-protocol/decentralizing-event-financing-liquidity-x-defi-x-nfts-975f028135f5

GET protocol will be decentralised

The endgoal of the GET protocol is to become open source and decentralised. There will be a governance model where changes to the protocol will be determined by GET token holders. That’s why I expect ticketing companies to acquire a lot of GET in time as their revenue relies on the direction of the protocol.

The first steps towards decentralisation have already been taken: last week 10 million GET from the stability fund have been burned and the remaining 2,6 million have been put into a DAO treasury which will be governed by the community.

So Mark Cuban, Ted Leonsis and other entrepreneurs can acquire a share in the GET protocol simply by buying the tokens. It would probably be a better strategy than building everything from scratch as GET has been stress tested over 600.000 times and proven to work and to end scalping.

How to maximize your chances of finding what you're looking for: CashApp Gold

Follow these simple guidelines:

1) As a general rule, be as much specific as you can, every little detail counts and may help us find what you're looking for.

2) Specify the time frame the game came out, at least the decade . Can't remember? Try thinking of other games you might remember playing around the same time as the one you are looking for.

3) Specify the system you played the game on (which console, PC, operating system). If you're not sure, telling us which systems you owned in your gaming history narrows the field down considerably. If it was a flash game that you played on some website, don't say "PC game", say "flash game" or "browser game".

4) List any distinctive qualities you can remember: what genre of game was it (FPS, RPG, Plat former...)? Was the game 2D or 3D? What did the characters and enemies look like? Was the protagonist a male or a female or multiple characters? Was it first person or third person? If third person, what was the camera angle: behind the character, from the side, top-down, isometric? Was the game really bloody? How many players in multiplayer? Post anything you can remember, even if it sounds insignificant.

Sticking to these ground rules will not only help others find the answer to your request, but ensures that the first answer given is more likely to be what you are looking for.

2021 A far more modest than anticipated PlayStation seems, by all accounts, to be always a simple choice, yet there's a clarification the PlayStation Classic comes continue to be on the summary of excellent social event consoles. Undoubtedly only a little PlayStation, yet its library leaves out games like Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider, and its underpowered mirroring and odd usage of PAL transformations of numerous games does the general horrendous looking mid 3D of the system no favors.

Difficult Crypto Considerations

Crypto is now worth $2.26 trillion. That's up 10x over the past year. The entire U.S. stock market is worth $50 trillion. The annual budget of the USA is $4 trillion. These are big, big numbers. Global numbers. Numbers that can crash huge economies.

I know the take of crypto optimists: Crypto will replace currency, and soon we'll skip to the market and pay in our favored crypto and the dollar will just magically disappear...taxes, the gov, who cares when inflation is out of control. Blah. Blah. Blah. But I don't buy this reality. It's too clean. What is a more realistic take? Or even a pessimistic take? Because I see some problems ahead.

If crypto continues to grow at the same rate as it did in these past 12 months, then it will reach a value of $20+ trillion. Where does all that investment come from if not the stock market? If $10 trillion is diverted into crypto, would that cause the stock market to crash?
The Department of National Intelligence (aka US spy agencies) recently released a report stating that digital currencies are a threat to fiat. What will the U.S. Gov do to protect the Dollar? And when?
What would society look like if fiat failed? Massive inflation...and then what, people who didn't buy the right crypto are destitute? How would fiat failing actually play out?
Post-Covid 19, it's a return to the climate crisis. There will be more wildfires. More extreme weather events. And crypto mining requires a large amount of energy. Do we really need any proof-of-work coins? In other words, how does Bitcoin fail...is it like Myspace, Netscape, or the horse-drawn carriage? What does Bitcoin failing look like? Does it drag alts down, too?
What if China bans crypto mining or crypto entirely now that it has its own digital Yuan?
What are some other Bitcoin bubble poppers?
Is there a way to justify Dogecoin's value right now other than as a bubble indicator?
What if Tesla/Elon Musk fall out of favor? How does that impact crypto? What might make crypto toxic to the masses?

What happens when Bitcoin hits $69,420?

The price of Bitcoin hits an all time high of $69,420

"It's time" says Satoshi with a devilish grin, as he executes the biggest sell order the crypto economy has ever seen...

The order books on all the exchanges light up crimson red, as a titanic sell order begins to funnel through the system. A sizable red candle instantaneously appears across the charts, as if in the blink of an eye, the exchange just had some "calculation glitch", and all that would remain would be a long candle wick. But the candle remains. It continues to grow. Alerts and notifications of the gigantic move are sent out. A large number opportunistic investors try to take advantage of what appears to them, to be a fire sale.

"Buy the dip" they say to themselves, loading up as much as they can.

But the price keeps dipping, and their efforts to "buy the dip" are useless. The knowledge of the immense sell off has now gotten to a large majority, and they begin to sell in an effort to minimize their losses, adding fuel to fire. The price falls even faster as whales begin to unload their bags in order to maintain some, if any, of the profits they had acquired. The exchanges not having enough capital to pay for the volume of trades taking place, liquidate their holdings in a selfless effort to protect their uses from further losses. However noble their efforts are, they become ineffective.

News sources start interrupting their broadcasts to deliver round the clock coverage of the event.

"Never, in the history of any asset class has there been a price drop like this" they report.

With now even larger amounts of users trying to sell their holdings, all of the exchanges become over encumbered. Traffic at an unprecedented level, cause the servers to overload. Each individual server unit begins to heat up to the point where wires melt together causing confusion across the networks. Sell orders become buy orders, buy orders become sell orders. A feedback loop which overwhelms them even further. The shear heat radiating from the server rooms deem them unsafe for workers to enter to perform maintenance. This causes some server farms to even burn down.

The institutions that had been buying in large with the hopes of using it as a store of value are now at a loss leading their share prices to tank. Meanwhile, trusted Investing firms beg for bailouts while also facing massive class action suits.

With the price nearing $0, Bitcoin miners and Bitcoin mining companies can no longer cover the cost of operation and are forced to halt and shortly after shutdown.

A few days later, on a peaceful afternoon, at a beach on a private island, Satoshi sits, drink in hand.

"Satoshi, you son of a bitch, you did it." he laughs to himself.

A smile drawn across his face as he watches the sun set across the quiet ocean.

TLDR; Satoshi becomes the biggest troll with a pump and dump for a meme.

Bitcoin rises to new heights as Coinbase will be launching their IPO on NASDAQ Today!

Bitcoin breached the $63,000 mark as Coinbase prepares to launch its IPO on NASDAQ today. This will be a landmark event that will attract a lot of market volatility and lots of potential for those who will take advantage of the opportunity early.

You can see more information on MarketWatch here

As this is going to be a huge event, I have spoken to some associates and I know that some brokers will be offering COIN (Coinbase) as a tradeable asset. This is a rare opportunity and the spike in Bitcoin volume and value has only strengthened the predicted outcome of the value of COIN once it is offered to the public. So I would suggest to anyone interested to act fast and be prepared before the bell rings

In-depth analysis of Rally - Social Creator Coins

Summary

$RLY is an ERC20 social token. The token can be exchanged for ‘creator coins’ which in turn represent communal ownership of a particular influencer or media personality. As it stands, influencers have difficulty monetizing their fan base let alone in a way that is mutually beneficial to fans. Rally aims to fix this problem. With a creator coin, a fan can purchase the coin and see it rise in value as the influencer accrues a larger fan base. Not only does the token accrue in value, but it can also be used to signify a level of commitment/fandom, tiered access to special content, early access or be used to purchase NFT’s issued by the influencer.

The creator tokens exist on a private Ethereum sidechain managed by the Rally team. This sidechain has no transaction costs and trading happens instantaneously. The pricing of creator coins happens according to a demand curve mechanism that provides liquidity and makes pricing predictable and less susceptible to spikes. The platform to engage with the creator coins can be accessed using any token supported by Coinbase or by making use a debit card.

The Rally team consists of successful entrepreneurs and business veterans such as Kevin Chou (sold Kabam for $1 billion), his close partner Michael Li (also Kabam), Ray Chiapuzio (CEO First Foundry) and Kurt Patat (ex-Head of Entertainment and Consumer Communications at YouTube); backers that include Coinbase Ventures, a16z and Canaan (although the latter is not verified on Canaan’s website).

The current number of outstanding tokens far outweighs the total number of tokens in use. On top of that, the number of outstanding tokens will be greatly increased over the next eight years. What should be monitored very closely is the total number of tokens encapsulated in creator coins. When this number rises substantially in relation to the outstanding tokens, that’s when $RLY becomes interesting to own as an investor. Also the quality of creators should be closely monitored.

Creator coins both benefit and are hurt by the socio-economic currents that drive the price up or down. When all is well, and a creator is gaining popularity, all persons that own the creator coins are winners. This produces a vibrant environment in which all participants are incentivized to further propagate the coin and increase the issuer’s popularity. On the other hand, when a creator’s popularity takes a turn for the worse, it does not only hurt emotionally, but financially as well. This could lead to disenchantment from fans, leading to a rapid disbandment of a creator’s community. On top of that, for the coin’s creator, his/her/their popularity does not only collapse metaphorically, but very tangibly too. This is because popularity can be measured through the value accrued within a creator coin – it essentially makes popularity concrete. In sum, creator coins could potentially be an area of severe social, emotional, and economic upheaval - an environment for spectacular gains and losses. This is an important aspect to monitor as public perception is paramount for social/creator coins.

Ecosystem

Rally is part of a relatively novel ecosystem - social tokens. These are tokens that are backed by the reputation of an individual, community or brand. Examples include Friends with Benefits (private discord environment that requires tokens to enter – focused on discussing the future of web3), $WHALE (collector of NFT’s, tokens represent part ownership) and $ALEX (tokenized his person and future profits on the blockchain). What unites each of these spaces is the idea that the community or person they are part of will be more valuable in the future and thus fans have a vested interest in making that happen. Propagating popularity essentially takes on a financial component.

(collection of subcultures on Twitter, each could utilize their own social coin, source: https://otherinter.net/squad-wealth/)

Although this space has yet to go through a Cryptokitties moment, it has the potential for a significant uptick in popularity. One primary reason being that creative persons are known to have far-reaching influence in popular culture. They have a means and understanding of what it takes to excel in areas of branding and how the substantial knowhow on how to increase exposure. Social coins stand to benefit from this greatly, especially in attracting persons who were never interested in digital assets beforehand. Crucially, dedicated fans could financially benefit from this increased exposure. This creates an environment in which ‘the tide makes all boats rise’. Thus, the essence of Rally’s proposal is introducing the concept of popularity to a fan-creator mutually beneficial relationship with an underlying market mechanism.

Let us exemplify this in order to come to terms with how this mechanism works. A successful issuer, let’s call her Alice, issues $ALICE. Alice, being the issuer is rewarded with 50 thousand $ALICE which she can reward to her users or keep for her personal gain to sell later[1]. The immediate effect of this issuance is that Alice is incentivized to maximize the amount of users/demand of her coins. The result hereof would be an increase in the value of $ALICE which benefits Alice financially.

Fans of Alice, especially early ones, are incentivized to buy $ALICE for the same reason. If her popularity increases, so does the value of $ALICE. It is an investment in potential popularity. These fans are also motivated to introduce Alice to their friends. Content sharing is a an almost natural instinct to us, but when coupled with a financial incentive, it becomes a force to be reckoned with. The effect of increased exposure is increased adoption and thus increased value. The result hereof is an exceptionally loyal fan base that is socio-economically incentivized to propagate.

The use case of these $ALICE are not purely financial and emotional. There are further market drives. Notably, Alice could create tiered mechanisms in which $ALICE owners can participate. Examples include a Discord chat, a pre-stream Twitch channel, early-bird tickets to a show, meet-and-greet, or the purchase of NFT’s. What this creates is another layer of demand for the tokens, potentially further driving up the price and providing underlying semi-tangible value.

In sum, what we have here is an ecosystem of aligned incentives. Every participant is a ‘winner’, especially early adopters. The result of this is the potential for an exceptionally vibrant community that has a socio-economic incentivize to propagate.

Taking the opposing view, when everything is positive, everyone is a winner. But introducing popularity to financial investment is a potentially flammable proposal. More specifically, imagine for a second being an investor in the Jackson-coin, or another star hit with a scandal. From the perspective of the star that has not issued a coin, the downfall in popularity is less tangible, instead it is more a feeling, a perception. Very real, but open to interpretation. Take an added market mechanism, a coin could become a gauge in popularity that is tangible. A fall from grace could therefore become extra painful, both economically and socially.

From the perspective of the fan, seeing the value of any investment to which you have exposure is a painful event. Couple that with the fall-from-grace of someone you have in high regard, and it becomes evident that downward spirals are components that need to be seriously considered. A few downfall examples could serve as a beacon for potential future coin issuers who may chose a non-market driven incentive mechanism as opposed to $RLY. (Imagine a coin that has a stable price for example.)

Also, from the perspective of the investors in popularity, it already hurts when your favorite stock loses value, but being a long-time dedicated fan could turn into a very painful experience. Feelings are important; contrary to what some professional investors might think, a lot of people invest with their emotions. Buy when it feels good, sell when it feels bad. A space in which a lot of people are hurt, might be one that is avoided.

Arguably, a content creator could decide to sell his or her coins in bulk, choosing money over fame, further adding to the hurt a fan may experience. Thankfully, the team at Rally has identified this caveat and has introduced a mechanism that curbs a content creator’s ability to sell based on market activity.

Another malign/bear case for these social coins are the platforms that function as gatekeepers. Similar to Facebook and the likes, creators can be deplatformed. If this kind of behavior finds itself to Rally (which hosts a private blockchain), it could be exceptionally damaging to the platform, those deplatformed, and the reputation of the digital assets community as a whole. As many of us know, the blockchain space is widely considered to be an open and free one, deplatforming is the antithesis to this zeitgeist. If this kind of behavior is considered or executed, it may be a good time to visit other opportunities in the social coin space. Further note: there is also a ‘remove Rally registry members’ vote that requires 66% to pass. This demonstrates that cancel culture may also originate from $RLY token holders.

In conclusion, the social coin space has all the potential to be a wholesome, vibrant space where the incentives of all participants align. When all going well, all is exceptionally well. Contrastingly, when matters take a turn for the worse, it can turn real dark real quick. Paradoxically, this could make the space all the more exciting to invest in. People are generally drawn to emotion and wealth. A space that combines the two could be very valuable. Essentially the jury is not out on this space yet, close monitoring of the space is warranted.

In depth analysis of Rally

$RLY, as introduced, is a ERC-20 social coin aimed at monetizing content creators’ fame. According to Business Insider the content creator & influencer market is poised to grow to $15 billion in 2022. What a social coin allows an issuer to do is to create a micro-environment of value that is branded, customizable and representative.

As described in the summary, a person, group, or community may issue a coin which their fans or users can exchange for $RLY or fiat; this essentially creates a market for fame. As we have become used to in crypto, markets work by matching buyers with sellers and vice versa. You can imagine, for most of the social coins, the buy and sell volume would be incredibly low (read low liquidity), which leads to high volatility or slippage when a sizeable purchase or sales occurs. The solution implemented by Rally is the use of Token Bonding Curves (TBC).

Example of a Token Bonding Curve

A TBC works as follows: “to buy tokens, you send ether to the buy function which calculates the average price of the token in ether terms and issues you with the correct amount. The sell function works in reverse: first you provide the bonding contract with permission to take the amount of tokens you want to sell (ERC20.approve() ) and then you trigger the function to take those tokens from you. The contract will calculate the current average selling price and will send you the correct amount of ether.” On top of that, “[t]he actual price per token increases as the number of tokens issued increase.” (source). In other words, the market maker/taker system is replaced by a predetermining algorithm. The major upside of TBC is increased (synthetic) liquidity and more predictability regarding price. On top of that, given its an algorithm, it can be adjusted according to the requirements from users/issuers. Another departure from the standard maker/taker system is the fact that as the price increases, more tokens are issued. The effect of this is that price increases more gradually towards the end of the curve and parabolic highs and consequent crashes are (potentially) curbed.

Another tool at the disposal of a coin creator is that he/she/they can issue non-fungible tokens (NFT’s). These NFT’s have three encapsulated mechanisms that provide underlying value. First, the creator must deposit a set amount of creator coins in order to mint an NFT. This enforces scarcity and intrinsic value. Second, the NFT can encapsulate benefits. For example, the NFT owner could receive special chat recognition or the right to chat with the content creator prior to a stream. Finally, fans have the tendency to hold on to collectibles, to curb this tendency, a content creator can enable the “always for sale” function to an NFT prior to its creation. The pricing mechanism will be determined by the TBC algorithm, but without the extra issuance mechanism. The effect hereof is that some NFT’s will belong to the most hardcore group of fans that are willing to fence the largest sum of money.

In my opinion, the TBC pricing algorithm is a perfectly suitable solution to the liquidity issue. The concept is not unique to Rally, DeFi platforms such as DODO also use similar algorithms. The TBC method however is far from a proven concept to the digital asset space, so it stands to reason that it has not withstood the test of time. This means that smarter people than I may find ways to game this system and extract value from it. If this were to occur, Rally would unquestionably suffer.

As I described earlier, the TBC algorithm is also incorporated in the NFT continuous sale mechanism. I believe this concept, combined with the underlying value incorporated in the NFT, coupled with the ability to add extra benefits to the NFT’s, are exceptionally interesting mechanisms to make creator NFT’s more popular compared to bland NFT’s. I do believe that some fans will not be happy with the fact that their prized possessions are always on sale. This will make it less interesting for early fans to buy NFT’s as an investment. On top of that, it may lead to disenchantment for fans that are less wealthy. They might feel as if they are left out of the fan experience. Creators will unquestionably trial and error with these mechanisms and find one that works best.

Regarding the Rally protocol: as it stands, Rally is relatively centralized, as in it is a service designed and implemented by the company’s owners. Rally’s goal however is to become increasingly more decentralized. In short, the steps towards decentralization:

Launch network & build community
Give admin control to the Creator Community (includes TBC shape and size, taxation, etc.)
Let the community run the network (allow users to define completely new building blocks)

This is an exceptionally ambitious plan, of which I am skeptical. Simply because encoding all the above logic in such a way that the blockchain code is updateable based on a voting system will not be without its difficulties. I admire their ambition in this regard, but I think the three steps mentioned above will take a sizeable amount of time to realize, if realization is possible at all.

Another noteworthy aspect of Rally is the fact that $RLY operates on a private Ethereum sidechain. The significance hereof is that it allows for a fee-less environment that offers less friction than a traditional blockchain, this a boon to novel blockchain users. Crucially, Rally must provide complete transparency regarding the private chain. As it stands, information regarding this private chain is unavailable thus data metrics is unattainable. This places a significant amount of trust, that is normally attributed to the blockchain protocol, in the hosts of the $RLY private chain.

The aim of the Rally team is to operate this Ethereum private chain until it is ready to operate as an interoperable layer 2 solution as opposed to standalone environment. The team has yet to provide a detailed roadmap as to how they wish to achieve this interoperability. For blockchain purists, $RLY may this not be interesting to own from an ideological point of view. For ‘regular’ investors, they will have to make their peace with the fact that this is not a decentralized but a centralized blockchain.

Tokenomics

From an investor’s perspective tokenomics may in fact be one of the strongest and at the same time weakest components of Rally. In short, this has to do with the fact that the price of $RLY relies on the demand for creator coins. Given that creator coin owners and creators are both economically and socially incentivized to propagate the creator coins, these incentives could be a major driver for the price of $RLY.

Paradoxically, the amount of $RLY currently in circulation is incredibly low. The total supply is 15 billion, as it stands, roughly 61 million is in circulation, meaning that less than 1% of the total token supply is available to the market. What this means is that early investors will most likely not benefit from holding on to this token for an extended period of time. Instead, with the substantial dilution of the outstanding tokens, they are incentivized to invest in creator coins instead.

This dilution of outstanding tokens will continue for the next 8 years, at a substantial rate.

Token Release Schedule: Please note that the Jan 22 date is January 2022, Jan 2024 is January 2024, etc.

As is evident from the above chart, the token dilution is substantial.

In essence, the tokenomics of this project are both tremendous and terrible. From an investing perspective, they are terrible in the sense that they will be diluted like crazy. On the other hand, Rally aligns economic and social incentives through their creator coins. This incentive structure could drive the adoption of this digital asset forward at considerable speed. This dualism between vastly diluting tokens and socio-economic adoption incentives underlines the importance in monitoring the adoption metric for the project from an investment point of view. Either way, for those looking to provide pool liquidity for $RLY may in fact be quite happy with both sides of this dualism as both sides involve substantial trading volume to come to fruition.

The Rally team is under leadership of Kevin Chou. Kevin established Kabam, a company that sells mobile games to over 500 million customers. Kevin successfully sold the company in 2016 for 700-800 million dollars. He is currently the CEO of both Rally and Forte. The Forte Platform aims to introduce blockchain to games by capitalizing on emerging community economies. These are communities that operate within a digital environment like a video game. Examples include farming particular items in exchange for in game or real-life currencies. Kevin’s past achievements and current scale of ambition demonstrates a person willing and able to lead a new initiative such as Rally. On top of that, Rally and Forte encapsulate a grander vision of gaming, one that involves an economic dimension. To an investor in Rally, Kevin’s involvement is paramount. If Kevin were to leave, this project would lose significant merit.

Ray Chiapuzio is the head of engineering at Rally. Ray spent four years at Walt Disney as a lead software engineer and director of software engineering. After Disney, Ray established First Foundry, which is the company that designed and created the smart contracts and associated dev-ops infrastructure powering Rally. First Foundry also has Forte as a client. According to Zoominfo the company has $5 million in revenue.

Amit Ranade is responsible for developing the $RLY Network Token. Amit worked with Kevin at Kabam (role not specified other than ‘president’) before going his own way and establishing GoLantern. This company failed and Amit got back together with Kevin to help him build up Rally. Amit has fundamentals in computer science and worked as has experience as a software developer & engineer for four years at two small companies.

Michael Li is co-founder and close partner to Kevin. Michael has an eclectic past but has achieved major success at as president for Kabam China, a role he had for eight years. He also owns the Gen.G e-sports team. Michael has a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering.

Mahesh Vellanki helped co-found Forte and is currently the head of growth at Rally. Mahesh has 8 years of experience in the VC world, has a large following on LinkedIn (high quality tech industry posts) and in 2016 named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 VC list.

Kurt Patat is the most recent recruit to Rally and looks to be the only person from outside of Kevin’s sphere of influence. Kurt has extensive experience which includes director at AOL, head of communication at Viacom, and finally spent a year at YouTube as global head of consumer and entertainment communications. It is unclear why Kurt left or was fired.

Taking the team as a whole it is evident that (which the exception of Kurt) this group is squad with history. Each has gone their separate way at some point, but seem to have reunited under the banner of Rally and Forte. Each core member has a tangible relationship to the gamer space which is meaningful when building for gamers and tech savvy influencers. With the exception of Amit, most seem to have run or currently run successful businesses. Fortunately, I could not find any negative articles or experiences regarding any of the persons or their businesses.

Where I have some doubts however is in the fact that none of the team’s members seem to have experience with blockchain technology or blockchain businesses directly. Fortunately, First Foundry, Ray’s business has ample experience with blockchain that includes close cooperation with Ripple to launch blockchain based gaming (no tangible project to be found through this co-op). One of First Foundry’s most notable customers is Hi-Rez Studios, the makers behind the free-to-play game Smite. This game appears to be transitioning to a blockchain based ownership concept in the near future which underlines that there is confidence in Forte’s blockchain capacity from a third party.

In essence, the team appears strong in many categories including building successful businesses, experience in the gaming industry, venture capital and community building. The Rally team also has connections to the wider gaming industry through Forte and First Foundry. This underlines the fact that these guys are serious about launching Rally successfully. A quick cash grab appears to be off the table.

The team appear to be a little lackluster regarding blockchain and given their lofty ambitions to make Rally completely decentralized and function with the Ethereum main net, this goal I cast in doubt. I am highly skeptical of Rally’s ability to de-privatize their blockchain and deliver on the promise of full decentralization. What should be noted however is that the Rally team may not directly be capable doing so, their close relationship to First Foundry could be very meaningful in regard to compensating for the lack of blockchain knowhow.

The partners and investors of Rally are noteworthy. It includes names such as Coinbase Ventures which added $RLY to their custody service, a16z which is making a major move in the monetization of gaming space, Canaan, Kenetic and 1confirmation. Notable individuals include Balaji Srinivasan a serial entrepreneur and angel investor, Fred Ehrsam co-founder of Coinbase and Paradigm and Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin.

Each of these investors have significant networks and spheres of influence. On top of that Coinbase has incorporated $RLY into its wallet solution fully. This is of major importance in terms of adoption. Now I could not find any information regarding the size of each company or individual’s exposure to $RLY or Rally. What should be noted is that seed investors do own a significant chunk of the 15 billion $RLY tokens (15.3%) so it stands to reason that exposure is sizeable.

Competitive market

Major competitor: Roll. Roll also focusses on social tokens but with a different line of approach. More specifically, Roll’s business model is to allow a person to issue a personalized ERC-20 token. The creation of the personalized token is free, Roll takes a 12% of the 10 million tokens issued (always 10 million). The social token issued can then be traded on open markets such as Uniswap. The influencer receives an initial supply of 2 million tokens to do with as he/she/they please. A vesting period of roughly 3 years exists for the remainder of the tokens.

Rally has significant competitive advantages over Roll. Roll does not have a native token, Roll doesn’t have the quality of backers, it doesn’t have the same socio-economic incentive mechanisms, it doesn’t have a team at the level of Rally nor does the roll app seem to be taking off.

Roll statistics

No other serious competitors appear to be active in the social token space. In conclusion, the space appears to be uncompetitive for Rally.

Metrics:

Unfortunately, due to the fact that $RLY operates on a private blockchain, essentially no metrics are available. What this means is that it is not possible to compare Rally’s numbers to Roll’s for example.

However, there are a few metrics we could have a look at regarding $RLY that will give us some idea of use/adoption. First are the number of tokens in circulation, 61 million. Next, the Uniswap exchange has roughly 16 million tokens in liquidity pools. 32 million are found in Balancer liquidity pools. In other words, roughly 48 million of the 61 million is put up for liquidity on decentralized exchanges, that is 78% of the circulating supply. Compare that to Ethereum (115 million available, 21 million on exchanges = 18%) or Bitcoin (15m active coins available, 2.2m on exchanges = 14-15%) which obviously are not the best comparisons as they do not fall into the same category, but one needs something to compare to make a point. This point being that not many of the $RLY tokens in use. Instead, they are being hoarded/attributed to trading and providing returns in liquidity pools.

Another interesting metric that when gathered over time could be significant, is the total amount of value locked in creator coins. The best way to do this would be to monitor the $RLY conversion through an API, but for now I achieved this goal by simply adding together the $RLY backing of the creator coins. As it stands, that comes down to roughly 691,700 $RLY. Compare this number to the amount available on exchanges and it underlines the fact this token has yet to generate much traction.

In sum, of the 61 million available tokens, roughly 48 million are available on exchanges. Only 737 thousand are actually minted for creator tokens. What this means is that the token is yet to see large adoption. Coupled with the fact that Rally aims to put 15 billion of these tokens on the market, it is difficult to see a scenario (unless significant adoption) in which we will see a sizeable price increase in the future.

Investment thesis

Should you invest or not? Well, the tokenomics, team, socio-economics, incentives and backers are tremendous, but the amount of available $RLY tokens and the yet insignificant adoption underline the fact that buying into $RLY right now might be too early. Investors are probably best to keep a close eye on this project and monitor its rate of adoption. If the creator coins economy takes off substantially, $RLY could be a worthwhile investment.
