On CT we often discuss mass adoption of #crypto

But tbh, we are mostly talking about buy muh bags which fuels tribalism b/t networks like $DOT, $ATOM, $ETH, $SOL and more

Let's talk about how @Polkadot connects us all and how actual adoption of the tech is already here...🧵

https://twitter.com/csaint02/status/1611364598233419776

1/ Connecting a siloed world

As our world becomes more digital, the borders between us become thin

#Crypto is incredible because it opens the doors for a more open and inclusive world by aligning incentives regardless of who you are, what you do, or where you come from

2/

Banking the unbanked, financial freedom and more are all realistic themes enabled by crypto's distributed ledger and borderless payments

Giving global businesses the ability to act without relying on trust or being hindered by the constraints of traditional finance

3/

But in our world (and def in crypto), there is a huge people problem

We like to moon & we like to be right

Crypto today is mostly siloed mindsets leading to siloed tech and narratives that divide, boost our bags, and confirm our biases

But it doesn't have to be that way

4/ Enter #Polkadot

We can't remove greed & pride from the human condition, but we can try to create systems that minimize or eliminate it

That's where @Polkadot comes in

$DOT provides a secure environment for real business to solve real problems today, let's take a look 👇

5/

If you're new to Polkadot's tech, here are the important points

$DOT secures all the parachains in the network, allowing them to focus on getting creative with their chain

Parachains are synonymous with appchains, L2s & subnets but w/ ↑ interop, scalability & flexibility

This structure, along with the recent launch of #OpenGov, has laid the groundwork for $DOT to morph into software in the eyes of the SEC

3 years of working with the SEC under a clear framework despite what CT likes to tell you

7/ Real World Adoption

TVL, DeFi, shitcoins & current users, makeup an extremely small, although growing, fraction of the global market

Even $BTC, the most dominant crypto asset, is _tiny_ compared to major sectors like real estate

(Numbers ↓ from Jan 2022 - likely worse now)

8/ IRL biz is coming

TradFi institutions have already made their way here

JP morgan, Blackrock, and their buddies have been positioning themselves to usher in the next bull in the wake of incoming regulation c/o the #FTX catastrophe

But real business is trickling it's way in

9/

Did I say trickling? Well #Polygon has done a pretty great job w/ their biz dev team in securing partnerships with well-known biz like @Starbucks, and developing blockchain solutions for them

Polkadot's setup is so appealing, however, that it's attracting MAJOR adoption

10/ List em'

So let's talk about actual biz adoption secured by $DOT in 5 parachains

1. @AstarNetwork
-Onboarded the Silicon Valley of Japan in Fukuoka City
-Partner w/ NTT @docomo the largest internet provider in Japan
-@YoshitakaAmanoO x @candygirl_nft

-Swiss Federal Railways uses OT for parts tracking and efficient middleware
-Building toward greater network effects with Dr. Bob Metcalf himself (Metcalf's Law)
-Working toward incorporating AI as the knowledge graph gains even more adoption and quality data
-Much much more

16/

This is only the surface of the real world adoption that's on #Polkadot now

But $DOT isn't about maximalism

@Web3foundation contains a vision for a fairer, less power-centric future that levels the playing ground for everyone

Secure bridges are being built to other ecos..

17/

..to bring forth a fully interoperable future where mass adoption of crypto, blockchain, and the tech built around it can actually take place

It really is about all #Web3

Do you see it yet, anon?
