Trilemma for any currency is it can't have

a) stable exchange rate,
b) free capital flow &
c) independent monetary policy, at same time.

Most fiats choose c, prefer a & sometimes sacrifice b.

Most cryptos choose c, prefer b & completely ignore a.
A token that pays attention to a would have an attractive value prop given extreme volatility of every other token.

It'd help attract long-term investors rather than speculators that count on exchange rate appreciation forever.
It's surprising that no L1 or L2 token pay any mind to stable exchange rate in tokeneconomics.

It's def not for lack of tools. They have mint/burn policy. Also capital control, i.e. sacrifice b), is not taboo (e.g. staking unlocking period is a form of capital control.)
A token with a) will help it to be adopted as an actual currency. Why no platform token is considering that as a competitive edge in the L1/L2 war I don't understand.

Last week I spent $1000 & 15 hours trying to make a NFT as my metaverse ID card.

Here’s how it went & why blockchain as a digital identity solution has a long way to go 🎬
Why do I need a metaverse ID? Cuz I’m desperate.

My Twitter account has a rampant impersonation problem. I get messages from followers abt new ones every week just as I block/report old ones.
Imposters sell fake investment courses or paid memberships pretending it’s me. Wish I could tell you nobody fell for them. But people do. Confused & angry peeps end up coming to me for answers (I know). It’s become a reputation risk.

Since I stared sharing my writing regularly on this bird app last yr my twitter account grew from nothing to over 100k in 6 mos.

So many people told me my articles changed how they look at the world forever & I get asked a lot how I came up w/ the sh*t I write abt.

Here's how.
Hint: Having visionary insights is not abt intelligence or experience. It’s a lifestyle that you can learn 👇
I’d be lying if I said making innovative ideas is easy. Obv brain work is involved & an active brain needs more calories & nutrients than even hard physical labor. I wrote abt how I keep my brain healthy a while ago.

Eerie similarities btw internet 2000 & crypto 2022--

1. Users base at ~ 6% global population

2. Both had multi-yr bull run, hyped (correctly) as breakthrough tech, yet still thinly supported by actual use cases

3. Monetary policy headwind (6x Fed rate hikes in 1 yr back then)
In 2000 Nasdaq went on to drop 80% in 2 yrs, didn't recover to same level till 15 yrs later.

It was blessing in disguise for internet industry--weeded out opportunists, gave real builders breathing room to build & allowed organic growth.

But abs brutal for investors.
Obv history doesn't repeat blow by blow. But setup is so similar that I can't help but think a multi-year bear mkt for crypto may be in the cards.

Only missing ingredient is a blow-off top. If that happens in next few months, I think we'd almost surely see history rhymes.

Short-term mkt volatility obscures long term view.

In uncertain times, good to remind oneself of latter & ask “Do I still believe this is where the world is going?" If so, stay the course.

10 predictions for the web3 age that I expect to manifest regardless of mkt cycles 👇
Note: Making prophecy is tricky biz. Many of these won’t play out exactly as I describe. But being directionally right is better than being precisely wrong. I expect the predictions below to fall in former camp.
1. Hyper tokenization of everything

All assets— stocks, bonds, real estate…— will be tokenized. Anything w/ a cashflow will be tokenized. Companies, governments, nonprofits will all have tokens as a tool for attracting supports & distributing values.

Interesting parallels btw real life & metaverse:

IRL when a currency depreciates, it's good for the country's exports b/c products are now cheaper.

That's exactly what happened w/ NFT.

In past mo ETH depreciated 40% vs USD--> NFT sales volume ballooned...
It's interesting that sales vol increased almost 80% in same period. implying a price elasticity of 80% / 40% = 2, which puts NFTs square in the luxury goods category, i.e. if we assume eth prices of NFTs are sticky as eth depreciates.
In reality price elasticity is lower b/c prices denominated in eth did change at least for some bluechip projects.

e.g. while eth depreciated 40%, average eth price for Cool Cats increased 40%, making average price in USD roughly same as before eth depreciation.

Asset price valuation models are becoming memes.

Here’s why & how it matters to you as an investor 👇
First, some label definitions so we’re on the same page:

An “asset” is any instrument that transfers ownership of value across time & space.
For a thing to be an asset it needs to satisfy at least 3 basic conditions:

1/ limited supply

2/ durability

3/ social agreement that the thing can be used to represent value
