1/20 Stablecoin Tweetstorm- I have a fairly unique perspective on stablecoins... I was an "unofficial advisor" to the launch of USDT (Tether) Some of my best friends were CEO/CTO/Founders, etc. I didn't invest at the time (which was a lucky move) as the company sold

2/20 for a loss to Bitfinex within two years of creation. It had very little usage, banking issues, and really no clear path to growth (that is until one of the largest exchanges on earth began using it) So with this short background let me share a bit of my thoughts on
3/20 this category and why I think it is so important... (Full Disclosure: after all these years I finally found a stablecoin project that I thought was worth investing in and i will be shilling it later in this thread:-)
4/20 The community knows all about how important stablecoins are to the overall health and usage of the entire crypto marketplace. With an overall market cap of in excess of $1 Trillion the crypto market is large and growing... No category of crypto is growing faster than
5/20 Stablecoins: With a total category value of just over $33B and over $10B per day in trade volume it is no longer just a "niche" Stablecoins are a major category and I predict this category will increase in value faster then the overall crypto market. (My bet is $100B
6/20 in stablecoin assets within the next 12-24 months) This is a 150% to 300% YoY return BUT here is where my thesis gets extremely interesting... The 800 LB Gorilla in this room is USDT taking up 90% of the market cap and over 98% of the trade volume it appears
7/20 to be swallowing the entire category... BUT as everyone knows USDT is on VERY shaky grounds and is ripe to get overtaken by one (or more) of the challengers to the throne (if you don't understand why please google "tether lawsuit" and come back to this thread)
8/20 So here we have a potential $100B++ asset category dominated by a very shaky leader. (Note: I actually believe this becomes a $1T asset class but thats not for another 5+ years) let me thank @MessariCrypto for this screenshot:
9/20 Top 10 stablecoins (+1 special extra which you will all learn a bit more about soon) :-)
10/20 looking at the previous screen grab something should jump out at you. It's #9 ESD You may be asking yourself why is ESD listed as a stablecoin when it's trading for .37 cents? Answer it is the largest of a new type of stablecoins called "Fractional Algorithmic" stablecoin
11/20 at a high level Fractional algorithmic means there is some type of asset (maybe USDC, TUSD, etc) that is used to set a "peg" of (normally $1 USD) and the first company to successfully launch a fractional algorithmic stablecoin that hits its $1 peg can be a huge HUGE winner
12/20 In fact back in 2018 Basis launched with over $130M in investor funding from the largest firms in silicon valley. I was given the option of investing in this and passed. (Lucky again!) it turns out, in December 2018 Basis shut down and returned investor capital-at a loss
13/20 here is the link to the whole "Basis" saga (This was huge news in the day) Basis Stablecoin Confirms Shutdown, Blaming ‘Regulatory Constraints’ https://t.co/xYKaLP9xsa via @coindesk
14/20 So now that we have some history let me discuss this entire category broadly: $100B + potential, ready for massive growth... how can "we" participate? The current leaders are ALL centralized and unless we happen to be shareholders of Bitfinex, (Tether) Goldman Sachs (USDC)
15/20 etc... we cannot really participate. But wait... There is this new category led by @fraxfinance and @samkazemian here is how it works: the FRAX token is pegged to $1 USD while the FXS governance token can and will have wild swings in value
16/20 The genius of this FRAX system is in how the team structured the peg: Sort of a combination of Basis and Maker with a governance token similar to UNI. This new breed of stablecoin has never lost its peg, while the FXS token has gone from $3 to $28 and back to $5 the
17/20 all-important $1 value of FRAX has never wavered. It appears the market is starting to wake up to this project. There is finally an opportunity for everyone to participate in a decentralized algorithmic stablecoin and share in the upside. Why would ANYONE
18/20 continue to hold their funds in @Tether_to or any of the other centralized stablecoins? They are literally making Bitfinex, Goldman Sachs, and other centralized entities billions of dollars in profits. I believe 2021 will be the year
19/20 that decentralized algorithmic stablecoins take off. Led by FRAX and governed by all of us who hold those precious FXS tokens.
Thanks to @samkazemian @SushiSwap @UniswapProtocol for helping bring this amazing project to life... I continue to pour liquidity into the 3 year locked pools: I cant wait to watch FRAX grow and see where it goes from here! DeFi is here to stay and stablecoins will power DeFi...

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।

The Swastik is a geometrical figure and an ancient religious icon. Swastik has been Sanatan Dharma’s symbol of auspiciousness – mangalya since time immemorial.


The name swastika comes from Sanskrit (Devanagari: स्वस्तिक, pronounced: swastik) &denotes “conducive to wellbeing or auspicious”.
The word Swastik has a definite etymological origin in Sanskrit. It is derived from the roots su – meaning “well or auspicious” & as meaning “being”.


"सु अस्ति येन तत स्वस्तिकं"
Swastik is de symbol through which everything auspicios occurs

Scholars believe word’s origin in Vedas,known as Swasti mantra;

"🕉स्वस्ति ना इन्द्रो वृधश्रवाहा
स्वस्ति ना पूषा विश्ववेदाहा
स्वस्तिनास्तरक्ष्यो अरिश्तनेमिही
स्वस्तिनो बृहस्पतिर्दधातु"


It translates to," O famed Indra, redeem us. O Pusha, the beholder of all knowledge, redeem us. Redeem us O Garudji, of limitless speed and O Bruhaspati, redeem us".

SWASTIK’s COSMIC ORIGIN

The Swastika represents the living creation in the whole Cosmos.
