Putting the Odds in Your Favor - Using Data Science to Identify the Bottom

Hello everyone! I come today with something that's really worth paying attention to and studying. I mean it. If you're a trader, set some time aside to review this, because you won't see this anywhere else, and it's high signal/noise.

Remember last year when I kept hammering on the "regression analysis," and how that helped me nail the top, to the day? Well I've done the same analysis, this time to try and identify the bottom.

Now this is a long post, so if you don't read all of, I get it. But at least review the next two sections, and the chart.

https://www.tradingview.com/x/f7OkX5Pq/

"What is a regression analysis anyways? And why should I care?"

The idea is to find a best fit equation that models a dependent variable (like Price) against one or more independent variables (like Time). It's one of those fundamental data science tools you would use to study any process. In this instance, we want to extrapolate into the future, so that we can make data based predictions on when to buy/sell, at least in a macro sense.

This isn't the only statistical tool available for price analysis, but I would dare say it's one of the most fundamentally important ones. This is Data Science 101, and when used correctly, can be very powerful. Just to be clear, this isn't arbitrary; isn't made up on the fly; it isn't subjectively based on some interpretation of hand drawn lines / patterns. It's fundamentally MORE important and to be weighted higher than any interpretation of moving averages, RSI, bollinger bands, or other "TA" signals.

That's not to say it's perfect or will definitely hold. All models are wrong, some are useful. But it does give us the best, (mostly) objective picture that can be gleaned by adhering to the principles and methodologies of one of the most important and fundamental data science tools that we have ... rather than the (mostly) subjective interpretations of TA.

I'm fairly confident that these solutions for the upper and lower bounds of Bitcoin price can be considered canonical (meaning I've correctly applied the methodology of regression analysis).

If you read nothing else, this is the distilled version of this chart/analysis

  • Blue Line - Is the regression for the blowoff tops. This is (basically) the same equation that I showed yall last year. It uses the USD tops from 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2017 (circled in blue). Consider this to be the absolute highest possible price for Bitcoin at any point in the future. [Please note, that I haven't update the analysis to include Apr 14, 2021. I want to illustrate how well this called the top last year, without even including the Apr 2021 data].

  • Red Line - This can be thought of in two ways: One - as the secondary capitulation during a bear market. But you could also consider it to be the absolute lowest possible price for Bitcoin at any point into the future.

  • Orange Line - This models only the first capitulation lows. Remember, it's variable over time, so the further we move into the future, the higher the first capitulation low will be.

You can see that I've also provided the color coded equations, and sample dates for future extrapolations. Each of these lines is for the start of a quarter/year (Jan, Apr, July, Oct).

Now remember that these models don't give us a specific date for when we should expect to touch the lower line. All it does is give us an idea of what the lowest possible price might be, depending on which future date we're looking at.

Going deeper into understanding this model

The reason we have two lines on the bottom is simple. Bitcoin typically exhibts two capitulations during a bear market. You can clearly see that if we only model the first capitulation (orange), that price still drops below the model.

Since the goal is to also provide a full lower bound equation, beyond which price has never fallen, we actually have to run an iterative process. It looks like this: - Model a best fit equation for all price data. - Then toss out anything above it, leaving only the lower portion. - Create another best fit equation, and again, remove the data points above it.

A few iterations of this, and it quickly becomes apparent which points diverge the most. You can then filter everything but the "lowest" (most divergent) points for each bear market, and run the regression that produces the red line on the bottom.

If this doesn't fully make sense to you, think of it this way: Time is a factor. Hypothetically, if BTC sat at $30k for the next decade, it technically wouldn't be a lower low in terms of USD. But, because it happened so far in the future, it would intuitively feel like a divergence from the exponential price history.

That's really what the red line represents - The largest divergences from the overall exponential price curve. Luckily, even the worst divergences are still best modeled with their own exponentially rising curve.

And that's why models like this are powerful. They capture an intuitive concept, and yield a solid, objectively derived model, that you can use for making informed decisions on when to sell the top, and when to buy the bottom. Even if this model isn't 100% accuate (it's not, lol), it's VERY likely to get us in the ballpark.

But didn't people like Plan B and the Rainbow Log Regression already do this??

Yes and no. If you really want to understand why this is a unique analysis, reasonably correct (canonical), and theirs are not, it requires a bit more depth. Nerd territory alert ...

First and foremost, lets understand the limitations and risks of what we're trying to do here. Extrapolation is always difficult and prone to error. Even the best analysis will have some divergence, if for no other reason than the inevitability of noise. But moreover, we're attempting to model exponential data.

So any small procedural or methodological errors will quickly compound over time; producing signficantly divergent results, to the point of diminishing usefulness.

Mathematicians and data scientists of the past century have developed a fairly well defined set of mathematics and methodology to check your work, and ensure that you're in fact producing the best modeling equation that statistics could dictate, while also understanding the limitations and error range of the model. Here are some of those things: - Checking p-values to ensure your equation is statistically signficant. - Examining residuals plots to ensure your model is sufficiently complex to model all of the available signal. - Comparing adjusted r-squared between models to ensure that your equation is not overly complex and not just modeling random noise. - Running anova between models to determine if there is statistically significant improvement, and not just due to chance. - Understanding your dataset, identifying bad/noisy data, outliers, and knowing when it's appropriate to exclude data. - Understanding how to apply these concepts to answer specific questions and aspects about a dataset.

So what's the difference between what you're looking at here and guys like Plan B, the Rainbow Regression, or even Benjamin Cowen? It's clear that those guys didn't bother plotting their residuals, or else they would've seen the drift in their models. And residuals plots are probably one of the most fundamental checks you need to do, to make sure you have a valid model. Which tells me that they probably didn't run any of the other statistical checks, and probably are mis-applying these tools in other ways.

Now I like Ben, and he's gotten the closest of anyone I've seen so far. He's not arrogant, and takes a humble, simple approach. If anyone knows him personally and feel like pointing him my way, feel free to do so. He will continue updating his model with new data, and it will have some level of usefulness ; but until he improves the model itself, there is going to be a propensity for error at the edges, and the further you try to extrapolate.

Contrast him with a guy like Plan B, who is kind of arrogant. He'll continue to issue ad hoc adjustments and post-hoc justifications (aka, "black swans" and "unforseen events") to try and externalize the blame for why his provably bad model continues diverging ... rather than going back to the drawing board and really diving deep into proper regression analysis.

One Last Verification Piece of This Model

One extra step that I took, was to examine only the data from 2016 and before and apply the same methdology to see how well this would have worked for the last bull/bear cycle in '17 and '18. In other words, pretending that we were back in time, say Jan 1 2017, I wanted to see how accurate this same methodology would have been back then.

It was accurate to within about 7%, for both the top, and the bottom. I'm sure I don't have to explain that on a process which rose 10,000% from 2015 low to 2017 high, and then dropped by 6x from the high to the 2018 capitulation ... this was phenomenally accurate. Nothing else I've seen anywhere, comes remotely as close as this.

And again, this same methodology was what I used when calling the Apr 14th top last year, and it was off by less than 1%.

Okay that's all folks

If anyone wants to do a deeper dive on my methodology, hit me up. We can do a call, screenshare, and I can share my r-studio scripts, and include as many Monero peeps as want to join. I know there's at least a couple statistics nerds out there who can validate my work.


Harmony Q2 2022 Offsite Report

Harmony Q2 2022 Offsite Report - Community / Announcements - Harmony Community Forum

Introduction

The Harmony team held its four-day Q2 offsite meeting on May 9th 2022. The meeting consisted of ~30 team members including Harmony contributors and full-time fellows. This write-up is meant to highlight action items and initiatives resulting from the offsite event, provide transparency to the community, and ensure our exciting plans are shared with everyone in our ecosystem.

Purpose

The offsite event was held for a handful of reasons, most importantly to discuss the state of the Web3 and cryptocurrency space, align on our mission and vision, review areas of improvement on ecosystem grants and management, and address community sentiment.

Our discussions resulted in a handful of new initiatives, prioritizing of existing initiatives, and adjustments to improve existing processes. These takeaway items are meant to bring Harmony’s blockchain protocol to the next level, expand our ecosystem with quality projects, and bring our accomplishments and advanced technology to the forefront of external messaging.

Action Items / Initiatives

Focus of the Harmony team will be placed in four overarching areas, each with multiple, exciting initiatives that will elevate Harmony to the next level.

Technology | Ecosystem | Marketing & Communications

The next section will provide information on each initiative but please understand:

1. The team’s efforts are not limited to the list below.

2. Details will be withheld for marketing purposes (see Marketing & Communications).

Technology

Cross-Shard Messaging

Harmony will be one of the first sharded blockchains to accomplish cross shard messaging, allowing for incredible scalability across our ecosystem. Shards will have the ability to communicate with each other using a fully-meshed design. In simple terms, projects can launch on one shard and utilize features of an application on a different shard. With this feature, Harmony can scale beyond four shards and provide limitless scalability.

1BTC Yield Program

The team is working to launch the 1BTC Yield Program where holders can stake their ONE with the trustless BTC bridge and earn rewards in ONE and 1BTC. By staking ONE to the bridge, users provide collateral and increase the health of the BTC bridge while earning 1BTC.

In other words… stake ONE, earn Bitcoin.

Harmony’s Game Shard

On-chain games will bring in millions of users to the blockchain space. Our team will encourage game developers to launch on Harmony through a shard dedicated to gaming. By launching on this game shard, project teams will receive special incentives, co-marketing, and support from the Harmony team. In addition to incentives provided by Harmony, game shard launches will provide developers with a dedicated space free from existing, concentrated traffic on Shard-0.

Elastic RPC Infrastructure

There are approximately 100 active, globally dispersed RPC nodes in Harmony’s infrastructure. Nodes are added and subtracted manually as needed - this is a time consuming process and cost ineffective. With Elastic RPC, Harmony’s RPC infrastructure will dynamically scale to meet the needs of the network. Elastic RPC allows nodes to be added and subtracted on-the-fly and in minutes, allowing for a significant increase to RPC scalability and affordability.

In short, Elastic RPC allows Harmony’s RPC infrastructure to scale dynamically to meet traffic needs while adding and removing nodes in minutes, not days, in a cost effective manner.

Ecosystem

Gaming Studio of Studios

The gaming industry holds a great opportunity to onboard new users outside the Web3 space. From MMOs to racing to infinity runners, games of various genres bring massive potential for players and the blockchain industry. Harmony is onboarding new games and players by forming strategic partnerships with gaming studios with ready-to-launch titles and existing relationships with development. Details will be withheld until a more appropriate time for announcement.

Game Engine SDK

The team will establish an SDK in specific game engines, opening the door for hundreds of thousands of game developers around the world to integrate their game into Harmony with ease. This initiative is another serious push towards onboarding quality games to the Harmony blockchain.

Harmony Scouts

Pushing our gaming strategy further, the team will hand-selected talent from specific regions around the world to onboard quality game development teams and launch on Harmony via Launch Grants.

Scouts will walk teams through our grants program and be compensated only for approved proposals. Scouts will be incentivized to ensure their project teams progress through all launch milestones. Through this program, we will incentivize the onboarding of high quality games and grow our gaming ecosystem exponentially. Details will be posted on talk.harmony.one.

Grants - Raising the Bar

Requirements to receive a grant from Harmony will be higher, and the grant structure will be refined through new processes. The team is working to ensure these adjustments produce quality over quantity. For launches, this means higher quality projects, working demos or prototypes, and experienced teams. For DAOs, this means having a plan for independent financing, accountability, and clear measurable contributions to the Harmony ecosystem.

In all cases, grants are evidence of our support for contributions, not operational cash flow for the grantee.

Marketing & Communication

Marketing Lead

Harmony is seeking to onboard a full-time Marketing Lead. This person will be responsible for strategizing and executing marketing strategies for new and existing products in the ecosystem, establish a new pipeline for product marketing, and collaborate closely with project leads. The Marketing Lead will ensure our products are launched with maximum impact.

Communications Lead

We are also looking to onboard a full-time Communications Lead to ensure our external messaging is clear and consistent. From our vision to our website to our product write-ups, clear external communication is critical to ensuring users, community members, and Web3 enthusiasts are aware of Harmony’s direction, strengths, initiatives, and accomplishments.

Website Rebuild

Rebuilding our website from the ground up is a priority initiative to ensure it reflects Harmony’s leading position in Web3, provide visitors with a clear understanding of Harmony’s vision and roadmap for growth, and serve as a useful resource for new users and developers. Fundamentals will be front and center on the new website, showcasing Harmony as a leading platform for scaling Web3 applications. From NFTs to DeFi to Gaming to decentralized organizations – visitors will know why Harmony is a leading blockchain to choose for Web3.

Strategic Co-Marketing

We are establishing a new co-marketing pipeline while working closely with our ecosystem partners, helping them market their products and accomplishments to our growing community. Efforts to co-market with our ecosystem partners span across our social media platforms, newsletters, YouTube video series, and more.

Closing Message

The Harmony team will continue building the most advanced blockchain for many millions of users around the world, focusing on fundamentals, and expanding our ecosystem with quality projects, talented teams, and the best and most passionate community in the Web3 space.

Our initiatives take our technology and ecosystem to the forefront, creating the foundation for Harmony to lead the way in blockchain innovation, scalability, and affordability for a global decentralized ecosystem of builders, users, dreamers, and enthusiasts.

We're not out of the woods just yet, so maybe only go in shaft deep with crypto purchase

This doesn't apply to you if you're super loaded with cash. You have the freedom to do whatever. But if you're like the average regular investor, like me, then maybe consider stretching our your buys through a longer period of time.

For reference, we'll have another Bitcoin halving in 2024. Yes, we could have smaller rallies leading up to 2024, but it probably won't be mind blowing.

Remember, more events unfolding on the horizon. (not spreading FUD, just throwing a few things out so you can make your own decisions:

  • Monkey flu
  • Interest rates increase
  • World economy problems, China economy going down, affecting importing of goods for the rest of the world
  • Potentially more conflicts in Europe
  • Inflation, causing people to take money out of risky assets
  • etc...

I'm eager to keep buying crypto to add to my bag, but going to do it slowly. My bag will be loaded up bigger as we head towards the next halving.


I used to be a 5 time felon who was addicted to heroin and meth

My father left me and my mother when I was 6 months old.  I never saw him again after that.  Throughout most of my early years, my mother was in an extremely abusive and controlling relationship with my stepdad.  As young as 4, I saw her slapped, beaten, yelled at, and belittled. 

This was a regular occurrence throughout my life, until, one day, my mother had enough.  In the middle of the night, she got a U-haul van, woke me and my sister and told us to take anything we could carry on our backs, and took off. I was 7 years old.

It was me, my mom and my sister.  We ran away to Iowa where we lived for a year.  I don’t remember much about my time there, but I knew my mom was safe and that mattered to me more than anything.  Despite this, she wanted to get back into her old relationship, so we moved back to Texas.  Nothing changed.  In fact, it was worse.  She was beaten harder than ever before.  Before I knew it, me, my sister and my mom were back in the van again, fleeing my stepdad. 

This instability was constant throughout my childhood and early teen years. It made me disconnected from everyone else.  Although things eventually stabilized more by my mid-teens, by then, I had become very quiet and reserved.  Having my roots pulled out from under me at such a young age made me feel like I didn’t belong, but there was nothing more I wanted than attention and the feeling of belonging to something. 

I eventually realized that if I acted out I would get attention, something I so desperately needed and wanted. It didn’t matter to me that I was getting in trouble or that I was getting the ‘wrong’ type of attention, I was just happy to be noticed. It didn’t take long before I turned into a rebellious hellion.  

My defiant attitude moved me in the opposite direction from everyone else.  I started drinking and smoking weed at a young age but that just ramped up as time went on.  By 17 I was shooting cocaine and heroin and eventually became addicted to methamphetamine. 

Shooting heroin was bad, but it was nothing compared to doing meth.  It radically transformed me and made me far more desperate.  It had such a strong grip on my life that I went from being a simple drug addict to a full-blown tweaker who was cooking meth in motels and dealing it to make money.  

It didn’t take long for things to spiral out of control.  I was eventually arrested and charged with manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine and was thrown in jail.  I didn’t learn a fucking thing.  The second I got out, I went straight back to cooking and dealing meth. 

Shortly thereafter, I was arrested again.  They sent me to a treatment facility where I was supposed to get clean, but I ended up running away and became a fugitive of the law.    I was on the run for 45 days until they finally arrested me. 

I was in trouble so often that I got accustomed to being in prison.  It wasn’t home, but it became familiar enough that I didn’t feel too out of place there. Things got so bad that for a period of 6 years, at the peak of my drug use, I only saw the light of day outside of a prison for a total of 6 months.  

I had been doing so many hard drugs for so long that what finally tipped the scales in my favour was a 2-year stint in prison and an enforced manual labor work placement ordered by the court.  The prison sentence gave me time for my mind to rewire and mend itself to whatever sort of normalcy it could return to and the monotonous job forced me to confront everything that I did in my life that brought me to where I was.  There was no single event that manifested the positive change, but if there was any defining period of my life this was it.  

When I was finally released from prison, I knew I was going to have to bust my ass to change.    However, what I didn’t know was that of all things, cryptocurrency was going to be the catalyst in order to turn my hope of a personal metamorphosis into a reality. 

Being a drug dealer for so many years, I had heard about Bitcoin but didn’t really know what it was.  To me, it was magic internet money that allowed you to buy shit that you weren’t supposed to be able to.  But when I got out of prison, I started reading a lot more about it and really began to understand its depth.  To me, it was evident that crypto was a way of empowering people that had the willingness and balls to use it.  

Crypto, more specifically Bitcoin and Solana, didn’t care about my past or who I used to be.  The anonymity allowed me to get a loan in Bitcoin, which would have been impossible through the traditional financial sector as a five-time felon.  I then eventually heard about Solana and fell in love with it.  I swapped my Bitcoin for Solana and immersed myself in it.  The online community of Solana users and enthusiasts was incredibly welcoming and insightful.  It was clear, immediately, that there was something incredible going on here and I wanted to be a part of this in whatever way I could.  The community of people made me feel like I was at home and that I finally belonged to something greater than myself.

At the same time I was released from prison and learned about Solana, I was also beginning to learn to paint.  Luckily enough this was also around the same time Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) began to explode.  It took me a while to truly understand NFTs and how they work, but once I did, it took my initial interest in Web 3.0 and transformed it into a burning passion.  It became the main focus in my life.  I started turning my physical art pieces into NFTs and for the first time in my life, I was getting paid to do something that was 100% true to me.  It helped me transform myself from a convicted drug addict to a paid artist. 

Although I was starting to make money from the NFTs that I sold, my ultimate desire evolved into wanting to give back to the community that gave so much to me.  I started introducing talented artists to the space and they started launching their own NFTs on Solana and before I knew it, I was considered a significant curator and pillar for the Solana art community. This was such a far jump from where I was just a few years ago

If there is one thing I’ve taken from my journey, it’s that giving back to the community that gives to you is the most important thing you can do.  It’s fed my soul and is what helped me stay clear of drugs and out of trouble.  In a way, what you end up giving, gives back to you ten times over. That’s why I’ve made it my life’s work to organize 1000 free art classes, give away 1000 free digital art tools, and onboard as many talented artists onto Solana as I can.  It’s my way of giving an opportunity to people who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to belong to something greater than themselves. Ultimately, I think that’s what we’re all striving for in one way or another – to belong.

Gateway To Cosmos 2022 - CryptoCrew Summary

This week’s ‘gateway to cosmos’ conference and hackathon in Prague saw a perfectly organized event, mainly funded by Rockway Blockchain Fund, Juno Network, Agoric and Axelar (and a number of silver-tier sponsors).

https://preview.redd.it/qpwled7nfm091.png?width=630&format=png&auto=webp&s=21ada31cca9145920593869f597bdedf0b043791

It marked a pinnacle-meeting of the greatest minds in the Cosmos IBC ecosystem, sharing their latest insights and visions with over 600 accredited guests in a 2-day panel schedule.

Foreseeable, the central topic and base of discussion during panels and private talks on the conference were the recent events surrounding the implosion of Terra-Luna.

It's a fact, that the erosion of this multi-billion-dollar ecosystem came with huge consequences for a big number of builders, who use Cosmos and CosmWasm technology.

It is this watershed-moment for the industry that inherits a lot of potential. Some projects might not be able to recover from the damage done, but for most of them the time to refocus and rebuild is now. Individuals will keep adding value to the Cosmos IBC ecosystem, in their chosen way and scope, for a number of reasons:

  1. CosmWasm will continue to make its way to succeed as the preferred smart-contract layer of the future. Onboarding new developers is astonishingly easy: They can use their basic knowledge of a number of coding languages like Rust, Javascript or Go and start to write a smart contract.

  2. The developer onboarding process will even be made more frictionless soon with the upcoming “CosmWasm Developer Academy”: a documentation and tutorial platform hosted by Confio, focussing on bringing in web2 developers with a certain level of coding skill. Rust has been the most supported language on Stackoverflow for the past 4 consecutive years. Agoric are building a JS implementation on CosmWasm, Archway are working on Go. There is no need to cope with solidity anymore.

  3. Tendermint consensus and IBC architecture have proven to work as expected, even when under the highest pressure. Utilizing shared security, consumer chains will be able to profit from the economic security of the Cosmoshub. There is no need to cope with economic security anymore. Shared security will be rolled out later this year.

  4. The UX of Cosmos-SDK based products is comparably frictionless. There is no need to cope with high gas fees or long confirmation times anymore. IBC as a transport-layer has even more power to increase UX, as top-level applications are able to increasingly shield their users from the underlying technology. A good example are Osmosis’ ‘deposit’ and ‘withdraw’ buttons, effectively hiding IBC information (chain-ids, ibc-client numbers, connection and channel-ids) allowing for simple and frictionless deposits & withdrawals, all hosted on one simple interface.

___

Chain-specific insights:

Juno is probably the best platform to develop a CosmWasm smartcontract right now and will be the new home for a lot of devs. It uses the latest version of CosmWasm (not a fork), IBC v3 and a permissionless deployment system. Former Terra-devs can port their code with minimal changes, test it on the live Juno-Testnet and release to production on the Juno Mainnet without asking governance for permission. They could also utilize a future CW-enabled consumer chain, or migrate to their own L1 (shared security or individual chain).

Agoric are building $IST, the ‘interchain stable token’. It’s designed to become the interchain’s preferred medium of exchange, overcollateralized by CDPs (similar to Maker DAO’s vaults) using ATOM and other IBC-assets.

Axelar are shipping one bridge after another. The team around CEO and founder Sergey Gorbunov is well funded and will play a major role in bridging assets from other blockchains like Ethereum, Polkadot, Fantom or even Bitcoin. Sunny Aggarwal (co-founder of Osmosis) confirmed there will be a retrospective airdrop of 1% AXL total supply to osmosis users, who use the axelar bridge to bring in new ERC20 tokens like USDC or DAI to osmosis and provide liquidity.

Osmosis with its permissioned version of CosmWasm will be the preferred chain for ex-Terra defi protocols that are still existing and weren’t ‘just a wrapper around anchor’. Imagine levana leveraging IBC assets on the osmosis dex. Or various yield aggregators or defi-managers for osmosis, lending protocols, synthetic assets and more. Permission through governance will be needed, to assure that only very well-tested and functional products are rolled out on the DEX itself, in order not to jeopardize its basic function as a DEX.

Teams like Informal Systems and Strangelove Ventures are pushing forward development of critical IBC infrastructure tools like relayers and are working on expanding the IBC standard to non cosmos-native chains (eg. IBC-enabled Polkadot-Parachains, ETH2.0 integration…) These Teams are well funded, have a very high grade of engineering talent and are used to ship in a high-throughput manner.

Persistance/PStake are developing liquid-staking interchain-assets, stATOM and stXPRT are already live. Solana and Ethereum as yield-bearing IBC tokens will soon be enabled.

Penumbra are building a new privacy network in the IBC ecosystem that is currently in Testnet stage. The protocol integrates privacy with proof-of-stake through a novel private delegation mechanism (that also provides staking derivatives, tax-efficient staking, and on-chain governance with private voting). Penumbra records all value in a single multi-asset shielded pool based on the Zcash Sapling design, but allows private transactions in any kind of IBC asset. Inbound IBC transfers shield value as it moves into the zone, while outbound IBC transfers unshield value.

EVMOS: the number of projects being developed on EVMOS right now is huge! EVM brings the ability to launch battle-proven solidity code right in the Cosmos and combine it with IBC-superpowers. Interoperability options seem limitless on this smart contract infrastructure, also the team is well funded and keeps shipping improvements.

‘The Hub’: The audience at the Gateway to Cosmos conference witnessed a compelling speech by Cosmoshub team-lead Billy Rennekamp, who talked about the upcoming Cosmoshub Upgrades. The upcoming Rho upgrade will introduce tooling to manage public goods (community pool) and a little more flexibility in community spend proposals. It will not include CosmWasm (decided by governance in proposal #69), keeping block size small while ensuring high scalability and performance.

The far more interesting Lambda Upgrade is planned for later this year (q3 or q4) and will bring the first release of Interchain Security. The Hub can act as a so-called “provider chain”, that provides high economic security to a “consumer chain”. On the consumer chain the validator set is replicated and rewards are distributed to validators and delegators on the Cosmoshub, which is essentially an on-going airdrop for ATOM delegators. One of the first consumer-chains to launch will be the Quicksilver liquid staking protocol.

Comdex is another very promising project in the Cosmos IBC ecosystem. The team is developing a synthetic commodity decentralized exchange, based on their own fully-collateralized IBC-enabled stablecoin $CMST which will be backed by an index of Cosmos ecosystem assets as collateral (similar to DAI on Ethereum).

About me

Hello. I would like to introduce myself, my name is Zhuang. I am a seller from Guangzhou. I have almost 10 years of sales experience in this industry. I provide bags, watches, clothes, belts… of the highest quality to resellers and end buyers. If you need the highest quality product, we have it. If you need products at a good price, we have it too. We will clearly advise you on quality and price.

I was referred to RL by many of our clients. My beloved customers say that I have good service so I can join RL. So today I am pleased to present to you my product album:

Album: https://s.wsxc.cn/b4dbCx

My contact information:

  • Wechat: zzzhuangzzz6868 (If you don't have a wechat account contact me. I can help you scan the QR code for free or (maybe) can give you a wechat account)
  • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zzzhuangzzz/

You can also contact me via Facebook. We have a Facebook group of our customers. You can join them.

About payment: Paypal Friend and Family, Crypto (Bitcoin, USDT - almost free transfer cost), Wise

About shipping: We use EMS, DHL, FedEx shipping worldwide.

Especially if you are in the United States, Europe, UK and Israel we will use The Customs Stable Expedited Line. The Customs Stable Expedited Line (CSEL) is managed by a transportation company that utilizes Double Customs Clearance. Double Customs Clearance is when Export Customs (China) and Import Customs (Destination Country) are both cleared in the origin port in China. The company transportation deals with all customs declarations, paperwork etc. This greatly reduces the risk of custom seizure or inspection, but it is still possible, as only 5/10,000 parcels transported are seized. In the event that your parcel is seized, you automatically receive a full refund of the shipping cost, and 40 rmb/kg. All taxes are included in the price quoted to you. All you have to do is receive the parcel at your door.

That means you can pay us for the product in advance and don't need to pay for shipping right away. We send your product to the shipping company, they will calculate the shipping cost and send you the bill. We do not take any profit from the shipping cost. If your item is stopped at China customs we will replace the package for you. If it is stopped at your country's customs we will refund the shipping cost to you. Don't worry, only 5/10,000 parcels transported are seized.

About shipping time: All CSEL parcels are transported between China and your destination country via DHL/FedEx/Royal Mail. The speed is 10-15 days worldwide. Which is susceptible to delays out of our control. All other Line: 15-30 days

About PSP: We offer free PSP before shipping to you. Especially with watch products, we will send you videos to check the calibration of the watch movement. If you buy a watch we will give you a branded box set for free if you say you are from RL.

About exchange and return: Before sending out, if you are not satisfied with your PSP, we can exchange another product for you. After receiving the goods, if the product is defective from the manufacturer, you can return it to us. We will send you a replacement product. The cost of returning the item is yours.

About Feedback: But I mentioned I'm new here and haven't received feedback from RL members. I look forward to hearing any feedback from you soon. Don't hesitate to contact me.


There are few reasons why we shouldn't panic and sell our crypto

How are you handling this issue, how did it affect you, and how long do you believe it will last? I'm aware that the situation is bad and that many people are pissed off and that they sold their coins, but in my opinion, it's not a good solution since there are various reasons why you shouldn't.

There are people who are thinking about selling Ethereum, and Bitcoin, but even these coins such as Unicoins (that are being used as investment coins for growing companies). So, people would sell anything these days cause they're afraid of bigger losses.

As we all know, Whales may create price movements in the market, which has happened several times before. Do you recall back in 2014 when someone issued a sell order for 30,000 BTC at $300 a piece, which was below the mid-300s bitcoin price levels? That led the price to drop to depths not seen since November 2013.

What I've discovered is that panic selling occurs at the start of significant events, forcing investors to liquidate their crypto assets. It also appears when short-term investors drive currency values down, causing long-term stop losses. Panic selling is also a result of crypto whales' market activity.

Do you think that when big whales decide to liquidate digital assets, it's a perfect time to buy coins?

Remember that every recession ends with a rebound, so selling your investments is more of a personal choice. Regardless, huge whales have the ability to manipulate the market, which should not cause panic selling. Tbh, such circumstances are ideal for purchasing crypto assets.

Would you like to offer anything as advice for others who are facing these sorts of challenges for the first time?
