1/ Adoption of #Solana is hitting critical mass. A popular #Solana wallet, @phantom, has been live 6 months and already has 400k weekly active users
2/ And the entire $SOL ecosystem. The point is that there is a lot in this picture

3/ Total Value Locked in #DeFi protocols on #Solana are nearing ~$9bn as of this writing. Exponential growth anyone?

Source: @DefiLlama
4/ We can now bridge between #Solana and #Ethereum meaning #SolanaNFTs can now be sold on @OpenSea
5/ There is a metaverse game called @staratlas being built on #Solana. Looks pretty cool if you ask me
6/ @ProjectSerum is a decentralized limit order book protocol built on #Solana, backed by firms like @jumptrading and @ftx_app
7/ And as mentioned in the NFT sub-thread, Solana NFTs are gaining huge traction
8/ For all things #SolanaNFTs , see the #NFT section for more details
9/ And even more in depth, check out this thread from @MichaelRinko

1/ All Things Crypto

A thread
2/ TLDR

1) #Crypto is growing rapidly with mass adoption through #NFTs and the market is rewarding L1s with this functionality

2) $BTC is driving the crypto market and continuing the 4 year cycle

3) We should watch out for L1s decoupling from BTC cycles as adoption accelerates
3/ Today, I want to cover all things crypto that I am seeing in the market. These are broken down in the following sections:

1) Macro
2) $BTC
3) NFTs
4) $ETH
5) $SOL
6) Layer 1s ( $AVAX, $DOT, $ADA, etc)
7) Super Cycle Theory
8) 30k Foot View of #crypto
9) Final Thoughts

1/ The Super Cycle Theory

Many of been hearing the idea of the #supercycle for #cryptocurrencies and I want to give my take on this idea
2/ But first, let me define what the super cycle means to me

It is when #cryptocurrencies including $BTC break away from the historic #bitcoin cycles corresponding to the #bitcoin halvings

They start to go up or down based on their own fundamentals
3/ It is abundantly clear these cryptocurrencies such as $ETH, $SOL, and $ADA have yet to hit escape velocity

For example, when #bitcoin crashed in May 2021, all other #cryptocurrencies still crashed and crashed way further than bitcoin

1/ $ETH is easily the most compelling cryptocurrency broadly among the crypto community

We can see this in how rapidly the number of #Ethereum active wallets is growing
2/ Total value locked in DeFi protocols on #Ethereum hit all time highs recently. Currently at $124bn

1/ #NFTs are showing the power of an idea and movement among a group of people with a similar ideology or passion. And #NFTs becoming a symbol by which these groups identify themselves in the digital world
2/ It may be hard to see the value here but imagine being buying digital memorabilia of your favorite sports team vs a team you have never heard of. I doubt you would be as price sensitive for something that you identify with.
3/ And these #NFT communities are lively! Most notably is the @BoredApeYC. They have a roadmap and currently the floor price is ~39 ETH minimum (~$120k). To be a part of this, you need to own a Bored Ape NFT

1/ $BTC is continuing to act similarly to previous cycles and is still following the stock-to-flow model fairly well (popularized by @100trillionUSD)
2/ #Bitcoin’s price from 2016-current is mapping shockingly well to 2010-2013
3/ This past week, @Twitter integrated bitcoin tipping for twitter accounts, running off the bitcoin lightning network
