So what is exactly #ODAP and why this makes $QNT one of the most significant and, regarding #crypto mcap, undervalued projects?
Time for a THREAD⬇️
1/ODAP is the protocol for communication between gateways, primarily with an enterprise focus.
So banks, central banks etc. would run a gateway in Overledger Network and ODAP would be the protocol for gateways to communicate with each other in a secure and trustless manner. $QNT
Attending @ietf 109 to discuss our ODAP proposal with @MIT today. We\u2019re in the secdispatch session. They even have a virtual conference centre. #IETF109 https://t.co/2i9d5JxtR0 pic.twitter.com/osv2LCEUGx

2/ #ODAP Interfaces are the open source connectors that will connect a gateway to #blockchains and any existing network / API. That is based on the standards from work done at ISO TC 307 which 57 countries are working towards.
$QNT CEO Gilbert Verdian is the founder of TC307.
3/We know from the submitted drafts via #IETF (the Internet Engineering Task Force) $QNT is working on #ODAP with:
✅@MIT
✅@intel
but, there’s more to the story as we found out from Gilbert that US Government, Juniper, payment and telecom companies are also there.
4/So how it all started with #ODAP?
Let’s go back to $QNT CEO Gilbert Verdian’s interview with Santiago Velez on #RealVision (October 14th) and try to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
I’ll forward his words ⬇️

121 crypto theses for 2021.
(not investment advice)
Should I do a 121 tweet thread on the theses for you ingrates, or would you like me to delete my account?

Only two options:
2/ Get the full report here!
It's on the industry's banned books list, so you know it's good and deliciously irreverent.
3/ 1.1 Buy BTC. Buy ETH. Buy DeFi.
(political speech, not investment advice)
There's real fundamental drivers behind these assets today vs. 2017. I think we'll hit $100k / BTC next year, and $3 trillion of crypto market cap next cycle.
4/ 1.2 Buy BTC.
Not my advice, but it is from Paul Tudor Jones, Stanley Druckenmiller, Cathie Wood, Bill Miller, Raoul Pal, Chamath, and dozens of other institutional investors.
The digital gold narrative has stuck because of this:
5/ 1.3 Buy ETH.
Ethereum is the everything marketplace + settlement layer for a new decentralized financial system.
It will clear $1 trillion of on-chain transactions this year; the beacon chain upgrade has gone smoothly so far; ETHE will pull in big $$$ (more on that later).
A how-it-started salute thread to the first #Bitcoin news article on its 10th anniversary.
🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
2/ The first MSM article on #Bitcoin appeared in @pcworld on December 10, 2010.
A few articles before it referenced BTC (in brief or in passing), but this article had a new narrative: Bitcoin for censorship-resistant payments.
3/ @wikileaks had been de-platformed by PayPal and the author was out to explore how #Bitcoin, an upstart digital money might come to its aid.
How about an entire currency based on peer-to-peer technology?
4/ The idea was weeks old – first suggested by @nardoism in November – but it proved polarizing.
@orionwl thought Wikileaks accepting #Bitcoin would be a “great moment.” @jgarzik argued it might encourage governments to attack the network.

5/ But if Bitcoiners were split on the idea. The author made it clear he thought #Bitcoin might be ready for primetime.
After all, he argued #BTC was then increasingly being used in trade.
A thread about man vs. machine.

Alameda won't be participating in this, but it does present a chance to explain how we think about the value of man vs. machine in our trading. https://t.co/62yGWAS1C3

As has been pointed out, I've been adamant that the rallies in the past month or so have been heavily fueled by rampant liquidations on both BitMEX and Binance. And they have! But they were also fueled by organic buying among U.S. investors, as has been a popular narrative.
If anything, the narratives surrounding various U.S. funds and other companies buying BTC have gotten *stronger* in the past week or two than they were around Thanksgiving. More and more funds have announced their crypto holdings or plans to acquire them.
And direct signs of all this exist. Take a look at FTX's volume monitor: U.S. trading hubs like Coinbase having more volume than normal *is* a signal that U.S. customers are doing *something*, and when BTC is going up ...
(Coinbase even crashed from "heightened activity :P).
The DOW recently announced their new crypto indices, CME is listing ETH futures, Microstrategy putting $650M into BTC, GBTC AUM continuing to balloon, these all point in the same direction, and that direction is a resounding "up" for the crypto markets.
Since then, he has been following it for more than 10-years through three distinct periods he calls; “Ealy stages (2009–2013)”, “Becoming Mainstream (2014–2017)”, and “#Altcoin Explosion (2018 -2020)”
Although the value of #Bitcoin and other #Cryptos have increased, they did not become as successful as he thought they could...
The technology behind #Bitcoin, #Blockchain, is a great #innovation but has some significant issues. Below, we provide our CEO’s analysis of these issues across 3 categories; https://t.co/7OTtWyDep9 2.Governance and 3.Scalability
The lack of #security in #Blockchains is almost there by design: a hack, a password loss, or hard disk crash is permanent, and the transaction cannot be reversed. You need to make backups, but not too many and you can never really trust a third-party with them...
