Before everyone posts theirs, let me come up with a few high-level #crypto predictions for 2022. These are just some personal thoughts around topics that I care about and, indeed, no investment advice. Will detail some of them later on.
🧵👇
#GameFi #NFTs $LUNA $RUNE #DeFi
2/n
Cross-chain interoperability will become a reality. The focus will change from underlying protocols and platforms towards dApps that will be built on cross-chain layers or deployed on multiple chains. Eventually, dApp users won't know and care what underlying chain is used.
3/n
Increased focus on applications also leads to more awareness about user experience (UX). This does not only include better UI design but also providing easy-to-use applications that solve real-world problems end-to-end. Think for example of built-in FIAT on/off-ramps.
4/n
Who understand UX design best and also provide the resources when it comes to financial applications? #CeFi. Therefore I think we will see more #CeDeFi applications that merge the best of both worlds (e.g. FIAT on/off ramps, native mobile apps + #DeFi yields & opportunities).
5/n
We will see infinite new #crypto payment apps that come with both virtual and real debit/credit cards. Who will be able to win over customers by providing clever incentives, loyalty programs and utility while staying on top of the current trends in crypto investment?
6/n
#HODL doesn't work anymore except for the majors like $BTC or $ETH. The market does no longer exclusively move together but sub-trends emerge quickly and vanish forever in short time frames. Sitting on a "trend coin" for months may destroy capital with 0 chance to recover.
7/n
Just take a few examples from 2021 where we saw huge trends and absurd valuations not only on the market leaders but also hundreds of "me too projects": Food tokens, dog coins, 10k NFT PFPs, Olympus clones
8/n
In 2022 the "war" between #Ethereum L2s (Optimistic rollups, ZKrollups, sidechains) L1 EVM-compatible alternatives (#Avalanche, #BSC) & L1 non-EVM alternatives (#Solana, #Terra) will intensify and the winners will be able to extend their lead.
9/n
But as mentioned in the beginning, dApps will become cross-/multi-chain and move independently/opportunistic of the underlying chains. They will deploy where the users are and where incentives can get them even more users.
10/n
Another winner of this trend will be cross-chain infrastructure solutions such as @ComposableFin or @CoinwebOfficial as dApps need to focus on their core competencies and need easy solutions to deploy on as many useful chains as possible (incl. their own token).
11/n
2022 will become the make or break year for @THORChain & $RUNE. Either stage- & mainnet will be successful, attracting multiple billions of liquidity becoming THE major X-chain liquidity platform or others will emerge - with the trend and new tokens working in their favour.
12/n
2022 will be the year of #GameFi & #PlayToEarn. Countless new (AA+) games will be released and take the market by storm. Players (especially of mobile games) will flock to these new games with the ability of earning at least some money for their time.
13/n
Major companies (Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc.) will bake the #PlaytoEarn into some of their games, announce partnerships and make acquisitions in this new market environment. This might become the biggest accelerator for #crypto adoption that we have seen.
14/n
It's impossible for me to predict the overall #crypto market but I believe we will see a rather organic growth for the majors plus heavily consolidation (and high volatility) in the #altcoin market following the mentioned trends above.
15/n
Stablecoins will see further growth but we also might witness some trend-setting rulings in terms of regulation or censorship which will either speak for more decentralized coins like $UST, $MIM or $DAI or centralized versions like $USDC, $USDT or $BUSD.
16/n
.@terra_money will continue to grow at a high rate fueled by demand for $UST and the launch of dozens of new protocols on its blockchain. Based on its sound DeFi primitives released Q4/21 & Q1/22 it will cement its place as the 2nd biggest DeFi chain after #Ethereum. $LUNA

What is Seignorage? Before being in #crypto I haven't ever heard of this term. 🧵👇

1/8
I tried to explain it in short and will especially highlight at the end of the thread what it means in the context of @terra_money for the relationship between $UST & $LUNA Image
2/8
Seignorage is the difference between the value of money and the cost to produce and distribute it. For coins, it is the face value of the metal plus the minting cost, for paper money it is mostly the production cost. The creator/issuer has traditionally been the government. Image
3/8
If the seignorage is positive (e.g. it only costs a few cents to produce a $100 bill) the revenue accrues to the issuer.

For coins, it can more often be negative, for example, if the metal value of a silver coin is worth more than the face value. Image

@anchor_protocol now supports $bETH as collateral with the help of @LidoFinance, allowing you to borrow $UST to either deposit directly at Anchor for 20% APY or farm on other venues like @mirror_protocol. $LUNA $ETH $ANC

But how you ask? Find a short guide below 🧵👇
1. You need to convert your $ETH to $stETH (staked Ethereum 2.0) either via @LidoFinance at directly stake.lido.fi (staking rewards 5.6% APY will later go to aUST holders)
2. Or you just swap your $ETH for $stETH on @CurveFinance at curve.fi via the respective ETH/stETH pool - slippage currently is low but always check before swapping

Why are synthetic assets in #DeFi - brought to us by @synthetix_io @mirror_protocol @UMAprotocol etc. - important and why should we fight to keep them?

🪞 Synths are borderless and can be accessed everywhere despite underlying assets often being regulated regionally.
2/4
🪞 Synths in #DeFi can be owned and traded by everyone leading to better financial inclusion.

🪞 You can access various financial products in one place, leading to better ease of use.

🪞 Many blood-sucking 🧛‍♂️ 🩸 middle-men are cut out > more efficiency, less costs.
3/4
🪞 Synths become programmable and interoperable by being minted and traded on decentralized blockchains like #Ethereum or @terra_money, allowing e.g. to easily lend you synthetic stocks on a #DeFi money market for additional yield.

In anticipation of Version 2, I wrote a review for @Qi_Capital on @mirror_protocol, diving deeper into its value proposition, solution mechanic, farming opportunities, the $MIR token, and much more. Check it out!

For everyone too lazy to read the article, here a short summary:
Mirror Protocol allows everyone to create and trade synthetic assets  (Mirror Assets or mAssets), which track the price of specific real-world assets like stocks or ETFs - across #Terra, #Ethereum, and #BSC.
3/17
The protocol  -  as well as its native gov token $MIR  -  has seen constant growth since its inception in December 2020, which is reflected in $2.3 billion TVL, a constantly high trading volume, and a market capitalization of $0.5 billion. Dashboard by @Mirror_Market_

🚜 For all new to @mirror_protocol: A thread 🧵 on how to provide liquidity to #mAsset / $UST pools, which currently offer up to 220% APR (which equals 800% APY if compounded daily) 👇

(This guide is for the @terra_money version!)

$LUNA $MIR $UST $ANC #DeFi $ETH
2/13
First things first: What is @mirror_protocol? It's a decentralized derivatives platform running on the @terra_money blockchain and #Ethereum, allowing the creation of fungible assets, “synthetics”, that track the price of real-world assets.
3/13
These assets can be used as building blocks in #DeFi or can be bought directly on @mirror_protocol or the native mobile app @Mirror_Wallet. In recent times this has seen great traction due to the restriction of centralized services such as @RobinhoodApp.

You want to borrow $UST on your $LUNA on @anchor_protocol to utilize it on @mirror_protocol or leverage and earn $ANC rewards on top?

Here is a step-to-step guide for you 👇
2/6
Let's first clarify what you are going to do: you will delegate your unstaked $LUNA (and lock it for at least 21 days as it will get staked) to receive $bLUNA. You then collateralized $bLUNA to borrow $UST for which you pay interest (borrow APY) but get incentivized in $ANC.
3/6
Step 1: You need to have unstaked $LUNA, if you have it staked, you have to unstake it and wait for 21 days. Obviously you can buy it on several CEXs or via terraswap.io e.g. with $UST. (BTW: In the future this will also work with $SOL & $ATOM).
