2021 was one of the most impactful yrs i’ve had in crypto
I’ve matured greatly both as a trader & a person
Bc it’s the start of a new year, I figured i’d make a list of what I learned, both for future reference for myself & for those that are curious
🧁’s lessons from 2021…
Conviction > Rotating
You only have to be right once.
I know, it sucks seeing coins other than yours pumping 100% every single day.
But the odds you’ll catch every one, let alone do it consistently are very low.
Maximalism
Being closed minded cost me numerous opportunities to make wife changing gains in 2021.
Out of my own stubbornness & ego, I refused to invest in any alternative L1’s, convincing myself nothing could even come close to $ETH & missing out on 100x gains in the process.
Last week, Ark Invest released their latest annual report, titled “Big Ideas 2022”.
The report highlights key areas of disruptive innovation and developing technologies that are poised to overthrow legacy systems, as well as predictions for their growth by 2030.
Here’s a TLDR:
Digital Wallets
“Digital wallets could become leading platforms for offline & online commerce, adding $12k net value per user.”
“These wallets could also serve as on ramps to Web3 assets, such as NFTs.”
Ark forecasts each digital wallet user in the US could be worth $22.5k
Blockchains
“Public blockchains shift the distribution of trust, replacing institutions that rely on centralized authorities w decentralized, open-source software.”
“Just as the internet turned info into packets online, blockchains will turn all assets into tx’s on chain.
A few days ago, Vitalik Buterin made an appearance on the BanklessHQ podcast, where he breaks down major milestones completed in 2021 as well as the “Endgame” for $ETH, a multi-step roadmap that aims to bring full scalability to $ETH
How far have we come.. & what comes next?🧁
2021 has undoubtedly been the year of $ETH.
When questioned about the milestones in 2021, the first Vitalik brings up is the rise of NFTs.
“The rise of NFTs was something really fascinating to see, & i think its brought a lot of people into the crypto space.”
“We actually are giving people who are creating art new business models. We’re giving the creators of this thing thats very valuable & often has a hard time getting business models a new way to actual get funding.”
Earlier this month, Messari released an incredibly comprehensive 165 page research report highlighting key trends, companies, & projects to watch across the crypto landscape, including predictions for 2022.
