How @FantomFDN can outperform other L1s? -> Results from a survey.

I've created a survey with the most popular ideas gathered from Crypto Twitter.

Here is my analysis.

/THREAD
Results.

Over 1k people vote in one of these options. All of them are unique to #Fantom ecosystem:

1. Andre Cronje & FrogNation
2. Felix & Tomb Chain
3. Fantom rebranding
4. Popular crypto game

*Twitter only allows creating surveys with 4 options and 25 chars.

/1
Andre Cronje & FrogNation get almost 38%.

The remaining options have an even distribution of votes.

Let me explain what it means for @FantomFDN and what it says about the community.

/2
Andre Cronje & FrogNation.

Devs are the fuel of smart contracts platforms. I wrote before about how good incentives can build the ecosystem.



Here we are talking not about the system, but 2 main devs.

/3
The system is more resilient when it is based on processes, not individual people.

#Fantom is a perfect example of it when the absence of main players causes the latest price action and capital inflow.

We need leaders to start and processes to have sustainable growth.

/4
Felix & Tomb Chain.

Now we have a few related projects:

@tombfinance
@TombChain
@Felix_Exchange

and tokens $TOMB, $TSHARE, $LIFE

We also have a charismatic leader @harryyeh

/5
Again we have a similar situation.

Quite a few people equate project success to one person and the projects its creates.

This is not decentralization.

/6
Fantom rebranding.

Some people complained because of the theme of #Fantom.

Is popular in crypto to not have a professional business image.

When @FantomFDN was hot, no one complained against it.

/7
Popular crypto game.

Many blockchains have their killer #gamefi app:

@avalancheavax - @PlayCrabada
@harmonyprotocol - @DefiKingdoms
@0xPolygon - @crypto_raiders

I don't know anything similar in Fantom. I think that @ENRINFT is the closest to it.



/8
A great game for sure will help #Fantom thanks to users and capital inflows.

Having this, Fantom and the community should focus on keeping it in the ecosystem.

This will be the biggest challenge for the community and management.

/9
So, how to Provide Unique Value Proposition to Devs, Uses and Investors?

In my opinion options 1,2 and 4 can create catalysts that will be used to further develop the ecosystem.

Other popular options like dev grants will also help.

/10
@ethereum will eat most of the alternative L1s. Why @FantomFDN shouldn't he be devoured? What is preventing it from it?

The community is not an answer. Investors and users don't care about it. They want to get the best offer from all Smart Contract Platforms.

/11
To give you perspective, @FantomFDN is just before @terra_money... after crush and @EOSIO.

There is a lot of work to be done to make #Fantom great again.

#TerraLuna Lessons Learnt

What can we learn from the collapse of one of the biggest crypto ecosystems, $Luna and $UST?

Here is what you need to know.

/THREAD
Too big to fail.

• There are no impregnable castles.
• There are no irreplaceable people.
• Neither crypto ecosystem is too big to fail.

“Things always become obvious after the fact”

/1
Black Swan.

This is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences.

Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and widespread insistence they were obvious in hindsight.

Bridges.

We have a multichain crypto universe now. You can use these bridges to move your tokens across different blockchains.

Check Top 14 Crypto Bridges.

/THREAD
Bridges.

Cross-chain bridges enable the exchange of information, cryptocurrencies or NFTs from one blockchain network to another.

It allows data and tokens to flow across data sets that would otherwise be isolated from each other on different blockchains.

/1
There are several approaches to enabling cross-chain bridge transfers.

One approach is to use a wrapped token issued by the cross-chain bridge platform. With a wrapped token, the value of one token from a specific blockchain network can be encapsulated in another token.

Selling High and Buying Low

Everyone wants to buy low and sell high, but how to recognize these price levels in the volatile crypto market?

/THREAD
Price.

Price always reflect investor expectations and consist of:

1. Fundamentals
2. Psychology
3. Nonfundamental factors affecting supply and demand

/1
Fundamentals.

Fundamentals (cash flows, growth and risk) show us the value of crypto projects.

The most popular source of value in crypto are:
• Utility - you can use it for paying gas fees etc.
• Cash flow - you have part of the protocols revenue

The market is driven by investment themes

They are combining a good story with a positive past performance.

Unfortunately, themes often fall when the story doesn't work as expected.

/1
We can have many stories: security, play to earn, move to earn, ETH killers, safe passive income in crypto.

Narratives always changing, the same as investors' willingness to take the risk.

A good valuation is a story and numbers.

/2
Check what numbers are behind your story.

At some point, music will stop playing. We will have a trend shift and the market will ask you about numbers.

Don't blindly follow these narratives. Always have a plan.

Bear Market Mental Models

The bear market is hard. Many people lost the wealth created during the bull market.

These mental models can help you navigate a bear market and prepare for bull recovery.

/THREAD
You don't have to be always right.

Even the price of some of your investments can go to 0, like $LUNA or $FTM. This doesn't matter. What is matter is an average return from your portfolio.

Don't bet on one horse.

/1
You are not diversified.

Diversification mostly matters when is a fear in the market. Holding dozens of altcoins is not diversification. You should have also different digital assets, not just crypto tokens.
