📢📢Frequently Asked Questions📢📢

📢 📢FAQ - Part I 📢📢

WHAT IS anetaBTC?

anetaBTC is a fully on-chain, decentralized protocol that allows Bitcoin to be directly wrapped on the Ergo and Cardano blockchains. anetaBTC enables Bitcoin holders to unlock the value of their assets in a secure and efficient environment to provide yield, without selling any Bitcoin and without any third-party custodian involvement, as in the case of wBTC which is on the Ethereum blockchain and is the largest wrapped Bitcoin protocol today with over $14 billion of locked Bitcoin value.

WHY USE A WRAPPED TOKEN?

Wrapped crypto tokens allow the use of crypto assets on non-native blockchains. This interoperability means that a cryptocurrency such as bitcoin can interact with the ecosystem of decentralized software on this new network, interact with Smart contracts, or even act as collateral against types of credit in a DeFi lending protocol or similar projects.
Wrapped tokens allow for use in a given blockchain without native tokens
Wrapped tokens can be traded on many DEXs that may not otherwise be possible
Wrapping crypto on other chains can connect otherwise isolated liquidity
Wrapped tokens can be used on a blockchain with faster confirmation times
Depending on the chain, it can be cheaper to move a wrapped cryptocurrency

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE AIRDROP?

You can find detailed information here, but just to keep it simple, you have 3 simple ways to qualify. In the future, other forms of participation will be rewarded through Miscellaneous campaigns that will be announced as we progress.

Discord Users:

A total of 12,500,000 NETA can potentially be distributed to community members that join our Discord.

The 12,500,000 NETA will be distributed in 5 tiers:

The first 500 community members to join our Discord will split 500,000 NETA…or 1,000 NETA to each member.
The first 750 community members to join our Discord will split 1,000,000 NETA…or 1,333 NETA to each member.

The first 1,500 community members to join our Discord will split 6,000,000 NETA…or 4,000 NETA to each member.

This means the original 500 community members are on pace to earn 10,733 NETA, while the people who join us in the last tier before 1,500 members will earn 4,000 NETA.

Telegram Users:

📢 📢FAQ - Part II 📢📢

CAN I JOIN BOTH DISCORD AND TELEGRAM TO RECEIVE MORE TOKENS?

Of course you can!! This means community members who join both channels before 500 members can receive up to 21,466 NETA, while community members that join the last tier on both Discord and Telegram will receive 8,000 NETA.

IS THERE AN AIRDROP RELATED TO PROJECT CATALYST?

A total of 10,000,000 NETA will be distributed between the two Project Catalyst events. The first event has concluded and will account for 10% of the two Project Catalyst events.

This means the ~200 people that supported us on Project Catalyst last week will each be airdropped around 5,000 NETA. The final number of participants is being finalized and will be released in the near future.

The second Project Catalyst airdrop event will occur during the voting stage, which begins January 13th, 2022. This means 9,000,000 NETA will be distributed to the community from this participation event. Information on the eligibility parameters for this event will be announced in a later update.

HOW AND WHEN AIRDROP?

This will be announced soon, keep an eye on #announcements , more info around mid Jan-22.

WHERE DO WE SEND THE WALLET FOR AIRDROP?

This will be announced soon, keep an eye on #announcements – more info around mid Jan-22.

HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE ON THE NFT GIVEAWAYS?

Follow us in Twitter, like and retweet to participate on NETA NFT's giveaways (A total of 1M NETA). Also remember that not having Twitter, won’t affect the Discord and Telegram Airdrops.

WHAT IF MY TWITTER AND DISCORD USERS ARE DIFFERENT?

Don’t worry, names are being recorded for both so you can receive the two airdrops.

I ALREADY HAVE A CARDANO WALLET ON YOROI, DO I NEED AN ERGO WALLET ALSO?

Yes, you can create an ERGO wallet on YOROI or full node from official site. AM I RIGHT IN SAYING THAT anetaBTC

WILL OPEN POSSIBILITIES FOR US TO EARN YIELD ON OUR BTC BUT VIA THE CARDANO AND ERGO ECOSYSTEMS?

Yes! We want to empower people with BTC to take part of all the features that CARDANO and ERGO blockchains have to offer. Also, this opens a whole concept applicable to other assets like ETH for example.

WHICH DEX(ES) COULD anetaBTC AND NETA BE LISTED ON?

More details on this to be announced soon…

HOW ARE YOU PLANNING ON HANDLING THE CUSTOMER SERVICES SIDE OF THE BUSINESS?

We’re already assembling a support team. User experience is a key priority, even more so during times of unforeseen happenings.

WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT?

Is the Evergrande bankruptcy a factor in state of the market?

I am asking this because at this point there aren't real stats that show how much bitcoin is owned by the Chinese, directly or indirectly. How much they use at this point & so forth.

"According to Eminetra, the total market capitalization of the crypto industry is $1.47 trillion, and China accounted for more than 90% of all trading volume prior to the introduction of regulatory measures and restrictions in 2018." https://www.investopedia.com/news/price-cryptocurrencies-totally-dependent-china/

Is Asian, and mostly China in a selling frenzy motivated by a potential financial crises caused by Evergrande and similar events within their real estate market mostly?

Sentiment here is starting to feel familiar to late 2017-2018

I’m not saying that this is indeed the big bad bear market yet, but this is how the 2018 bear felt at the beginning. Many “experts” predicting very high price points for Bitcoin and Ethereum after ATHs were recently hit.

Many common investors made some quick cash and thought they were geniuses and thought the green would never end and there was a long road for the foreseeable future because crypto was here to stay and it was truly different.

Then the run just stopped. There was no one event you could point to and say “that’s the cause of the end”. Price just kept going steadily down and with every smaller relief rally, hope and interest started to diminish.

I’m just saying this as someone who experienced this once before to consider the possibility that this run up could be in the rear view and have a strategy for both bull and bear markets.

TLDR: there doesn’t have to be one catastrophic event to go from bull to bear. Sometimes it just happens abruptly without any single culprit

Unforgettable Crypto Moments in 2020

Bitcoin (BTC) reaching an all-time high

First, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. On November 30, BTC price reached its all-time high of 19,857.03 USD. It’s been on track to get that all-time high for a few weeks now, but it experienced a 3,000 USD crash over Thanksgiving. It has corrected itself since then and is currently in the 19,000 USD range at the time of writing. Just as people thought Bitcoin’s trend of price spikes was over, our favorite digital currency pulls a fast one on us. 2. Bitcoin’s third halving

The Bitcoin Halving is an event that happens roughly every four years (210,000 blocks). The first one occurred in 2012, splitting the miner rewards from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. In 2016, the second halving event occurred and it cut the rewards down to 12.5 BTC. On May 11, 2020, at around 3 PM EST, Bitcoin’s third and most recent halving occurred and it cut the rewards further down to 6.25 BTC.

The halving of miner rewards is intended to cut inflation in half. In the past, this event usually started a Bitcoin trend where it would experience intense price booms.

This year, Bitcoin’s price after the halving was a bit quiet. However, looking at where the price is now, that’s not as easy to say anymore. 3. COVID-19’s effect on crypto Because of the pandemic, the world’s financial markets have taken a huge punch to the gut. As a result, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have taken the spotlight amid the pandemic.

Since these digital assets are decentralized and have fixed supplies, they have been incredibly intriguing for investors. The market has seemingly remained to be bullish despite the events that have happened in the year. As mentioned earlier, BTC reached an all-time high recently, outperforming its peak in 2017—and if that isn’t a clear indicator that cryptos are resilient versus inflation, then we don’t know what is. 4. The shift towards cashless payments Since exchanging cash is one of the easiest ways for COVID-19 to travel, people have been looking for alternative means of payment—including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Pre-coronavirus, ideas like contactless payments and remote jobs were questionable. Now, it seems like they’re going to be more integrated into our daily lives.

Filecoin News 33

Introducing the Filecoin Energy Dashboard

There’s been a lot of talk around the environmental impact of Proof-of-Work blockchains and too little about the important solutions Web3 can bring to the table. Filecoin Green is excited to launch an open-source dashboard that tracks the energy consumption of its storage providers. The tool gives them, and potentially miners from other networks, a decentralized way to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates and store them in Filrep.

The project was developed as a collaboration between Protocol Labs and fellow Crypto Climate Accord co-signer Energy Web Zero in an effort to make the network carbon neutral, and in the future, net carbon negative. As

an open-source tool, it could easily be extended to Bitcoin miners and help ward off some of the heavy criticism the network has received over its energy consumption.

Now launching: the Filecoin Community Roadmap

The Filecoin community roadmap will be a publicly managed tool that is updated on a quarterly basis. The purpose is to provide a simple, accessible, and reliable product for understanding what’s being worked on, by whom, and when it will be made available. Project contributions are now being accepted through the end of December.

Announcing the winners of the 2021 Filecoin Auction Challenge with Textile

For the Filecoin network’s one-year anniversary, the community decided to test the throughput of storage providers over a two-week period and the results were astounding. 90 TiB were stored during the Auction Challenge with the help of 25 storage providers. The top contributors were:

f01208862: 9,500 GiB

f022142: 6,900 GiB

f010088: 2,400 GiB

SnapDeals External Audit Complete

The Filecoin network recently announced SnapDeals, a new extension to the protocol that will unlock 99% of the network’s 12 EiB capacity for data storage that currently stands in Committed Capacity sectors. SnapDeals are a lightweight way of updating these sectors with client data as opposed to the high-latency process required in the current implementation. An external audit for SnapDeals was recently conducted ahead of a Q1 2022 launch.

The Most Hyped Crypto Events to Not Miss

Tell me a better way to expand your blockchain knowledge if you know any than to be a part of discussions and events that are straight-up intriguing is nothing more or less. Online platforms have been offering this to people for years now but attending such an event is something on a bigger level as it offers great exposure to this industry. I have personally been to many such events and it has always been fun to meet like-minded people in person. I have got to learn so much about this industry that no internet search could have taught me.

I am planning to attend some of these upcoming events in the coming months. And I think you should too. Here is a list of most hyped blockchain events that are creating all the hype right now:

International Conference on Smart Contracts and Blockchain ICSCB:

The International Research Conference is a federated organization dedicated to bringing together a significant number of diverse scholarly events for presentation within the conference program. It will take place from January 14th to 15th. Events will run over a span of time during the conference depending on the number and length of the presentations. With its high quality, it provides an exceptional value for students, academics, and industry researchers. International Conference on Smart Contracts and Blockchain aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Smart Contracts and Blockchain.

Paris Blockchain Week Summit:

Paris Blockchain Week Summit is the biggest Blockchain & Digital Assets event in Europe gathering 2500 attendees, 170 speakers, 100 media partners, and 70 sponsors from all around the world. On April 13 & 14 2022, join them for two days of insightful talks and workshops held by the leaders and influencers of the crypto ecosystem.

The North American Bitcoin Conference:

You’re there to learn. Let’s do it. Join hundreds of the most influential speakers as they deliver compact crypto masterclasses. It will take place from January 17th to 19th. Dive into conversations and discuss the state of cryptocurrency with industry pioneers and innovators. What’s creating a hype about this event is that Billionaire Investor Mark Cuban will share the Stage With Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez. This is not going to be an event to miss with big names in the industry being actually present and speaking there.

I think these events are a lifetime experience and you should definitely attend some. Have you been to any such events in the past? What did you learn there? I have always had a great experience while attending these.
