1/ As people start working for DAOs, and get paid in their tokens, the nature of economic cycles will change
If my neighbour gets paid in EUR, or even $ETH, and I get paid in $ADA, then I have more in common with someone in Japan who gets paid in $ADA than with my neighbour
2/ Put simply, if enough people get paid in a non-local currency, the nature of recessions changes.
If someone is in an ecosystem that is doing well, their newfound wealth counterbalances the people who are doing poorly. So crashes in the economy are thus much milder.
3/ The key thing though is that #crypto markets have to decouple from #BTC so that projects can succeed or fail on their own merits, rather than the whims of their decrepit grandpa
Not only that, but Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) must rival LLCs as employers
4/ Of course, you can still have a local currency
But every transaction could be settled with whatever you might prefer; much like how nowadays I can have a card in EUR, go to the UK and pay in GBP, without ever actually having GBP in my account
1/ Inspired by @cardano_whale 's post, I shall also make a prediction's thread but I will make them different than his, although everything he said is very reasonable.
[I - Real Use Cases]
2/A criticism thrown at #crypto is that it caters to speculators instead of users
In 2022, a major and easy to implement use case is that of microfinancing, by tying the degens looking for yield with those in underdeveloped markets who need microloans.
[II - Institutional Adoption]
3/ #Cardano is not the first name that comes to mind when the average person thinks crypto.
So even though 2021 marked the first wave of institutional adoption in crypto, major corporate investors will arrive en masse in 2022 as $ADA proves itself
1/ Following the recent conversation I saw with @cardano_whale and @TheCryptoviser regarding whether token burning makes sense, I've decided to wear my economist hat and take a stab at it.
[A THREAD ON TOKEN BURNING]
2/ WHY TOKEN BURN AT ALL?
The argument goes that token burning is good for current holders as it reduces the overall supply of the asset in circulation, which assuming everything else remains equal, pushes the price up due to the law of supply and demand.
3/HOW DOES IT WORK IN ECON TERMS
Token burning is deflation, as you're reducing the overall number of a currency in circulation and thereby raising the price.
The problem though is that this stops activity (if you think a $1000 TV will be worth $900 tomorrow, you'll wait)
