// A THREAD (PART 2)
In Part one of our series, I covered:

- TCP/IP & ARPANET
- Overledger
- the similarities between each
- ISO TC 307
- INATBA
In part two, I will cover:

Tokenomics and the importance of token velocity.

(An often overlooked and misunderstood concept in cryptocurrency)

**ODAP, CDBC’s and other alpha will be covered in part 3.**
What is token velocity?

In simple terms, token velocity measures the amount a digital asset changes hands between parties.

So in essence:

The higher a token’s velocity, the more it is being used.

Is this a ‘good’ thing?

It depends.
Have you ever wondered why daily volume for a project can be extremely high, yet never move much higher in price?

Looking at you , $XLM 😅

Since $XLM is often used as a liquidity vehicle to move $ between exchanges, banks, and users etc - it possesses a HIGH token velocity.
This doesn’t make $XLM a ‘bad’ asset.

It’s use case is as a liquidity and payment token

So higher token velocity is to be expected.

Use case, Tokenomic models, and plenty of other variables can affect its TV.
Quantifying token velocity

The formula for TV is simple:

Total transaction volume divided by market cap
Here is a way it is measured for economies
For its use case, high token velocity is important for an asset like $XLM

Though you can reduce its token velocity through:

- Buybacks (revenue burns)
- Staking mechanisms
- Gamification to encourage holding
- Profit sharing mechanisms

These are a few of the options to do so.
HOWEVER this does NOT assert that a low token velocity ‘always’ means a higher price, though lower token velocity ‘usually’ correlates to a more scarce asset

Which in turn can lead to a higher price.

*Finding an equilibrium to sustain a healthy ecosystem should be considered*
$QNT Tokenomics:

High scarcity & ‘low’ token velocity

$QNT total supply: 14 million

$QNT provides utility by:

- Purchasing enterprise licenses (annually)
- Platform tx’s
- Developer licenses
- ID & Account
- Gateways & staking
- Transaction processing

& more.
Purchasing an Enterprise License requires paying in $QNT

Price to obtain this license is fixed in Fiat.

Though the amount of $QNT will vary depending on price of the asset.

Fiat is converted into $QNT from the treasury so there isn’t a need to purchase from an exchange.
The amount of $QNT that was paid to obtain an annual enterprise license will be locked up for 12 months, reducing token velocity & increasing scarcity.

The same concept applies to purchasing a developer license
Transaction Proccessing:

$QNT tokens are used to sign, encrypt, and validate ALL transactions that occur on the network

NO transaction can occur
WITHOUT $QNT on the network
Gateways & Staking

Gateways will earn $QNT for transaction processing

If you want to provide more throughput, you can purchase more $QNT to do so

Also, the more that they stake , the more the Gateway can earn

Paid in what?

You guessed it

$QNT
Another thing that should be considered:

People like you and me HODLing #Quant for the long term.

Most of us don’t plan on giving up our Quant anytime soon

And there’s ALOT of us.

Reducing the $QNT in circulation even MORE.
Since a fiat on ramp is provided to enterprises, developers, and users

the familiarity of these 3rd parties joining a network still exists.

Making integrating your business model seamless.
In my opinion, the most important part to make the tokenomics work cannot be understated:

**The price in fiat remains fixed**

**But the amount of $QNT required varies based on the token price*

EX: .00001 $QNT can get you a license purchased, if the price of $QNT reflects that
Quant in my opinion, has created the most utility driven token in all of crypto.

It’s token velocity and scarcity doesn’t hinder the flow of the network, due to the flexibility of it’s tokenomic model.
CONCLUSION:

With a total supply less than $BTC

An ecosystem BUILT on the utility of its native token $QNT

And the mass scale of the use cases Quant is pursuing

There’s no reason why $QNT can’t become the most scarce and valuable asset in all of crypto.

🚀
Part three will cover:

- Partners
- ODAP
- CBDC’s

& more.

The Financial Crisis of 2008

The rise of #Bitcoin

the Fallacy of Overchoice in #Crypto

And how to carve your own path in this ‘noisy’ & nascent market 💎

//A THREAD ImageImage
Story time:

The year was 2008.

A global financial crisis had shaken the world with shock effects not seen since the Great Depression.

Bailouts upon bailouts saved us from world-wide catastrophe.

*Or* should I say saved the ones responsible for its occurrence

🙂
Effects of the 2008 crisis in US:

Opportunity cost of 640 Billion - approximately $5,800 per household

Home values: $3.4 Trillion in real estate wealth

Stock values: $7.4 Trillion in stock wealth - $66,000 on average per household.

And Millions of foreclosures…

Before we dive in, I want to tell a little story.

There is a Greek tale that tells the story of a titan god of fire:

Prometheus.

A brutal war waged between the titans & olympians:

Prometheus played an essential role in the victory, leading to the sovereign takeover of Zeus. ImageImage
