1/  Introducing Mina Protocol

$MINA is a layer one protocol with revolutionary tech.

A microscopically small blockchain -- the size of a few tweets.
2/ Mina's chain can scale endlessly and stay 20kb forever.

All thanks to the alchemy of zero knowledge proofs, aka zk-SNARKs.
3/ Don't take it from me though:

Take it from @naval, one of Mina's earliest investors.
4/ I break down the tech, the project, and the vision in plain English in Mina's litepaper, published earlier today.

medium.com/minaprotocol/i…
5/ Sneak peak:

$MINA's tiny chain empowers everyone on the network to validate the network's state like a full node, from nearly any device.

Which means #MinaProtocol could become one of the most censorship resistant networks on earth.
6/ If you're unfamiliar with censorship resistance, I highly recommend this *warm* & *wonderful* explainer.

7/ But that's just the start of the story:

$MINA is a layer one protocol for decentralized zk-SNARK powered apps, called Snapps.
8/ Snapps are privacy-enabled, unstoppable apps that *finally* allow builders in crypto to interact on-chain with sensitive 'real world' data.
9/ (Doing so on legacy chains would violate people's privacy forever).
10/ This is the kind of alchemy enabled by zero knowledge proofs.

An alchemy #MinaProtocol will share with Ethereum.

11/ Mina's mainnet launch is imminent -- it could happen any day now. 🚀

12/ $MINA launches with a uniquely huge community:

The largest proof-of-stake testnet, after ETH 2.0.

13/ I've had the pleasure of consulting with Mina's team for the past 18 months.

They're brilliant terrific people, and they're just getting started.
14/ Sadly, I'm not allowed to comment on the token launch.

But follow @MinaProtocol for up to the minute details.

Disclaimer: I consult with Mina's team, and hold the token.

1/  We've reached a critical inflection point in bitcoin's adoption curve.

A moment wholly unique in the history of markets.

Are you ready for what comes next? 👇

#Bitcoin
2/ A perfect storm of demand dynamics is driving #Bitcoin price.

I think something shifted in the market -- and active investors & traders would do well to adjust their mindset.
3/ After years asleep at the wheel, institutional leaders are now jarred awake, en masse.

If they want this asset: they'll have to hustle, compete with the masses and FOMO in above ATH's.

Against a backdrop of scarcity unlike anything they've ever seen.

1/ How do you find bleeding edge leading indicators for crypto markets?

I’ll show you an amazing new platform that I'm loving 👇

#Bitcoin
2/ Cryptoquant integrates advanced on-chain analytics into Tradingview, for the very first time.

Why this is such a big deal?

To understand that, you have to grok on-chain analytics’s meta game.
3/ Analytics on-chain is a cross-discipline science:

It’s an arena where technical analysis works on fundamental data. And fundamental sentiment data.

Your first instinct might be to think that couldn't work.

But it does.

1/ Quick roundup of what I’m seeing as #Bitcoin consolidates below its last major resistance 👇
2/ Funding remains amazingly neutral - negative.

🔥 Bullish $BTC
3/ #BTC’s correlation to traditional markets appears to be unwinding.

If this persists in the coming weeks, it’ll be the biggest story in crypto.

🔥 Bullish $BTC

1/ New #bitcoin addresses were absolutely off the charts last week.

The backstory is bullish and intriguing — a unique view on a new bull market catalyst.

I’m about to break this down 👇

#BTC
2/ First: volume precedes price.

And #bitcoin active address counts are an OG on-chain leading indicator of volume.

3/ We typically see 5-10k new #bitcoin addresses / day.

That figure grew it its highest level in over two years last week, peaking above 22k.

Chainlink Weapons Arsenal /a thread

1/ Chainlink broke its all time highs yesterday. And it just keeps going higher.

I think we're seeing a full blown parabolic advance.

Image
2/ This shouldn't come as a big surprise if you've followed me for awhile.

I said I was expecting this two months ago.

3/ marines have plenty to celebrate. 🍻

Some will hodl for the longterm — a fine strategy early in a bull market.

But parabolas almost always end in a deep retrace — so let’s talk about how I plan on strategically selling.

(We can always rebuy lower, at a discount). Image

1/ I am massively bullish on #Bitcoin, but I think the next big move is likely down.

@glassnode just reported the largest $BTC transfer from miners to exchanges in over a year.
2/ And CME commitment of traders shows institutions are massively net short $BTC, and have been for many weeks.

They've only been this net short once before: the last time $BTC hovered around this same price.
3/ Bitfinex whale's buywall is eroding, and hasn't been replenished yet.

And those $BTC transfers from miners to exchanges...they went to Bitfinex.
