The more legitimate you become, the more you’ll be trusted with the simplest, but most pervasive, things.
Applies heavily to the #Bitcoin situation in El Salvador.
Checked out #BitcoinBeach for a few days, and specifically the work of @NewStoryCharity, which is building homes for people that are connected to the internet & web3.
People earn their way into these homes through affordable mortgages that are paid and accounted for in $BTC.
Despite my loyalty to Bitcoin & Ethereum, two networks that I literally grew up alongside, I will never be a maxi of any chain.
If there’s something I’m a maxi about, it’s abundance for all. The point of this tech is open & uncensorable economic access that allows all boats to rise.
Most of my questioning is to keep everyone, including myself, as honest as possible in pursuit of this goal.
While I don’t agree with every choice that different L1s are making, I also know navigating innovation is messy and more nuanced than Twitter can ever reveal.
Traders are momentum driven, and alt L1s to Ethereum are peak momentum right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Let’s see how things look 2H 2022.
To be clear, I fully expect a multichain world— @placeholdervc has invested to that end, but we have chosen a modular, community-owned one as opposed to monolithic.
And we are not abandoning $ETH.
A multichain world is good for competition, which is great for users. The point here is lowest fees possible, while providing all the guarantees we know well.
@element_fi allows users to split the base asset of a *yield generating position* into 2 separate, fungible tokens: The Principal Token and the Yield Token.
3/ At the end of a set term (eg, 6 months) each Principal Token is redeemable for its proportional share of the initial stake, while Yield Tokens are redeemable for the yield generated by the principal over the same time period.
