I would like to launch a, hopefully, fun social experiment: #StellarSpread!
The idea is that I will send 3 people 100 $XLM each. These 3 people should then split the amount among 1-3 people they trust to do the same. Each forming their own "chain".
2/
We will keep track of the 3 chains to see which one is the most "infectious". Every person involved should pick people who they think will do a good job in spreading the #Stellarspread further!
Who is in and wants to help #StellarSpread by being one of the first "infectees"?
3/ Fun fact: 10 people spreading this to 3 other people, will lead to 177,000 people taking part in this experiment!
We'll keep track of the spread through a forms + google spreadsheet (🤓). Any help in automation, visualization is welcome!
4/ An additional idea:
People that were infected could set profile pictures that show the chain they were infected with and maybe even the number. F.E. Chain 1, position 4.
#Stellar is made for interoperable payments and has an on-chain #DEX. Its consensus mechanism is similar to the Internet, making it:
✅Fast
✅Cheap
✅Scalable
✅Regulatory friendly
3. Tss #Stellar uses operations and multi-sig to offer basic smart contract functionality. It didn’t have turing complete smart contracts like #Ethereum though.
With the new 2nd layer “TSS protocol", #Stellar now has full blown smart-contracts.
A few tweets about the significance of P2P payments in #cryptocurrency and why interoperability with traditional financial rails is key to reach mass adoption.
In the early days, the #bitcoin narrative evolved around P2P payments. We needed a digital equivalent of cash.
This was inspired by the role of banks in the 2008 financial crisis.
IF #BTC would become the currency of the internet, as a result it should be valuable.
Since then, this has changed into a #HODL and #BTC = #Gold narrative. Scarcity brings value.
Where in the early days people wanted to spend #BTC, this has become quite rare. Why is that? There are a couple of reasons.
