So #pulsechain is launching soon

Thread
In total more than 700 million was "sacrificed" for Pulsechain, because you know, it is not a token sale, it is just free speech.

The term sacrifice might make you think these funds were burnt. They weren't.

65,000 ETH have been withdrawn

etherscan.io/address/0x9cd8…
But sneaky sneaky, 700 mill was not the end, it total it seems that more than 14 billion were raised. Predominantly in HEX. Stunning figure considering 3 or 4 days ago it was 700 million. That is pretty interesting isn't it? Who would have 13 billion in HEX laying around?
Probably Richard. The majority of the pulsechain "airdrop" will now go to Richard, like 90%. He also gets to bag the millions of USDT, USDC, and ETH "sacrificed", lol. And reclaim all of his own HEX he put in. I am sure all of this will be very difficult to prove. But wow....
But all of that aside, will Pulsechain go on to great success? Well people sure do love Richard. There are literally people calling him Jesus because Hex mooned so hard, those same thirsty investors will hope for a get rich quick round 2 on Pulsechain.
But now we start to run into reality, beyond the rabid fan boys. Who will actually build on Pulsechain? It is one thing to launch a token like HEX and get people on board to lock the tokens and ponzi the number higher. It is another to build an ecosystem.
Many have tried before to make a faster Ethereum, and yet none have taken the mantle. Not to say Pulse needs to "kill" Ethereum to make you rich. But actually attracting TVL and devs in a highly competitive blockchain environment is hard.
Ask the dozens of other chains launched by highly talented well funded teams who are pushing real and meaningful innovation how hard it is!

Then we must question with Richard's mixed repuation in the crypto spac, how many actual builders will choose to come and build on Pulse?
Probably not many, IMO.

Most will keep building on more reputable platforms like Polygon, BSC, and Polka Dot.
Because this is crypto this coin could do very well, because enough naive people just don't care.

But RH will likely control the vast majority of the supply, and building a real network effect will be very hard beyond the initial hype.

Be careful
Majority of the comments from supporters are character attacks on me and do not address the 13 billion or how to build a network.

Ironically this why pulse will probably pump hard

Crypto is crazy

#ethereum is just getting started!

The use cases for this asset are only just beginning, and the future is going to be insane!

Thread
In 2017 the big use case for Ethereum was fund raising. ICO mania was rather short lived, but established a major use case for ETH.

Many said it was a 1 trick pony, but ETH quickly proved the haters wrong.

Since 2018 we have seen the following
- The rise of defi, with an explosion of new apps in 2020
- NFTs were born years ago but remained niche until early 2021 when they exploded
- stablecoins have grown immensely in importance, 10X growth in a year
- Gaming has been exploding recently, it will be much bigger!

Regulators are hitting #crypto hard right now! Here's what is happening and what you need to know!

thread
Both Binance and FTX have reduced their leverage max from 125 and 100X to just 20X.

coindesk.com/binance-starts…
100X leverage is rocket fuel mixed with vodka for traders. Most professional traders go nowhere near 100X. It is a product for retail traders and gamblers.

That being said leverage is a useful tool, and reducing harm by reducing leverage is going to be a good thing.

#ethereum will be under going the so called "Triple Halving" as part of the ETH 2.0 upgrade. This is a highly significant economic event for the asset which has serious implications for the price of ETH in the coming years

Thread
First let's understand how much Ethereum is mined every day right now.

Daily block rewards paid out to miners are currently around 12,800 ETH a day

etherscan.io/chart/ethersup…
This means that every day there is 25.6 million dollars a day worth of sell pressure for Ethereum! And because we are in a proof of work system miners are constantly selling, dumping on the market. Why? Because miners run a cash business. We are in a mine and dump economy for ETH

An incredible financial shift is taking place before our eyes with institutional money steadily flowing into the market.

If you zoom out and actually understand what is coming then you will know this decade will be insane for #crypto #bitcoin #ethereum

thread
A recent survey by Fidelity shows that 90% of institutions plan to have exposure to crypto by 2026. That is INSANE.

decrypt.co/76380/vast-maj…
"institutions" represents a very broad group.
Here's a break down of money by group (non exhaustive list)
Hedge Funds 4 trillion
Sovereign Wealth Funds 5 trillion
Central Banks 9 trillion
Asset Managers 34 trillion

Even a fraction of this money entering crypto is HUGE!!!

Is $100,000 #bitcoin still possible in 2021?

A thread 👇
First let me say that it doesn't really matter when it happens. 6 digit BTC will come, only question is when. But end of year is a fun idea so let's dig in.
Is there precedent for an asset having a massive run up, then a long brutal corrective period followed by a spectacular blow off top later that year? Yes, of course.

Ethereum did almost excactly that in 2017, ended the year 237% higher than the "top"

As I frequently mention I invest beyond the world of #crypto and #bitcoin, crazy I know...

Anyway here are my top #stocks in my portfolio right now.
1 - My biggest stock holding is Brookfield Property Partners. They run hundreds of commercial and retail properties around the globe. Dividend is 5.19%. This is my big property play in a portfolio otherwise heavy in tech and renewables.
2 - iShares Gold Strategy ETF is a fund that is exposed to a variety of gold products. Dividend is 8.06%. I like gold and dividends. Easy.
