🧠 @THORChain_org's Decentralized Liquidity Network creates opportunities for businesses / entrepreneurs / devs

The team is focused on the core swap tech and #ASGARDEX -- but that doesn't mean there isn't opportunity for others elsewhere in the meantime.

2) Any service which aims-to increase network utility via swaps will benefit will increase revenue for #THORNode operators, Liquidity Providers aka stakers -- and ultimately increase the value of $RUNE.

3) An example could be a @venmo style peer-to-peer payment solution, crafted in a way where the service can branch itself out to a variety of integrations, think @Shopify @magento @whmcs @opencart @PrestaShop @drupalcommerce @Ubercart @WordPress @ZenCart

4) All these platforms have a breadth of community developers ready for the next opportunity to build tools that'll be useful for their ecosystems.

I've been eagerly waiting for wider support for #crypto payments, and I do want to pay with the #shitcoin I have in my wallet.

5) But merchants are usually limited to accepting a few #crypto assets for payments, and perhaps that may be the reason why #crypto hasn't been widely adopted just yet. Who wants to receive a payment in crypto with their volatile nature?

6) I believe the larger opportunity will reside with merchants accepting stablecoin payments, while the consumers will have the freedom to pay with #BTC #ETH #ERC20 #BNB cryptos/tokens. All thanks to @THORChain_org's upcoming native cross-chain swapping technology.

7) @THORChain_org is a fully open source initiative, allowing pretty much any dev to begin to scour through their repos / dev channels to plan-for their next venture. The network hasn't gone mainnet yet, but it's soon approaching -- first mover advantage is out there.

8) Now while such services can be built from scratch as new ventures, there's also the opportunity for existing an reputable services to begin scouting for the next opportunity.

@BitPay @TonyGallippi @spair don't mind if I wave hello here 👋

9) The first step in the right direction would be to get acquainted with @THORChain_org or even-better yet, the concept of what @Rewkang dubbed the "Liquidity Black Hole". Here's a good place to start:

10) While there's also @rebasefoundtn's coverage of all @THORChain_org related topics:

11) If you're curious about the tech, take a peek at their repos, namely the MIDGARD API one: gitlab.com/thorchain

12) You also can't forget about the official dev channel where you can get a head start by chatting directly with tech leadership: t.me/thorchain_dev

13) I wouldn't be a good community advocate if I didn't cover the very own $RUNE Price Simulator I developed, which highlights how @THORChain_org's native $RUNE will increase in value as more native #crypto assets get locked into its liquidity network:

15) DM me if you have any questions. I'm a #pseudoanon community member that's been vested into @THORChain_org since mid 2019. I advocate adoption with a variety of ongoing initiatives.

ERRATUM: swaps will increase ***

I get excited when I make these threads.

16) Totally forgot: there is @THORChain_org operational and community reserves. I'm not saying that you can get a bounty/funding in $RUNE for your initiative -- but I'm also not saying it's impossible. Prove that you can deliver, and maybe the @THORChain_org will notice you.

17) Here's a link to the $RUNE emission schedule:
