1) Our thoughts on LTO Network

Not financial advice

 2) Overview
- LTO Network (https://t.co/LJUDzLMCb5) is a hybrid blockchain solution that connects to existing systems enabling efficient collaboration on complex and multi stakeholder processes. It is led by a great team of serial entrepreneurs.
3) - In other words, LTO gives institutions access to blockchain without requiring them to overhaul legacy systems.
- Businesses don’t want an IT overhaul, but want communication with existing systems that only share process data and updates users via their own systems.
4) - This is the power of LTO network – changing unstructured communications into structured communications and driving efficiency for traditional businesses and institutions.
5) - On December 17, 2020 LTO Network and VIDT Datalink merged sales, marketing and development resources to form a “larger organization…better positioned to serve multinationals around the globe…” (https://t.co/aF3NuD9Pil)
6) - We view this merger positively and expect the combined company to offer more comprehensive business solutions.
7) Our thoughts
- There are many interesting crypto projects challenging the status quo.
8)- Some of these projects aim to change the way we think about traditional financial structures, but most don’t have near term use cases of relevance to businesses around the world.
9) - Progress has been made however. As an example, we’ve seen JPM pioneer blockchain in finance with their Onyx group, aiming to reduce friction in cross border transactions via JPM coin.
10) - LTO competes with solutions outside of the crypto space and engages companies without crypto expertise who want blockchain solutions. We believe this is a valuable market gap.
11) - We believe the efficiency gains offered by blockchain will be disruptive to industries beyond just finance, and LTO is one of few bringing BC to businesses. What’s more, their live contracts are an innovative solution to the problem of bridging BC & legal contracts.
12) - We are bullish on the growth prospects for LTO as the network has been built to be GDPR compliant from the ground up and the desire of European businesses to integrate blockchain technology grows.
13) Key Use Cases
- LTO has had many high profile partners join the network. Recently, The UN released an open-source urban land registry for the Afghan Government: https://t.co/aakyqOJLa7
- Other high profile use cases include:
14) - Saving the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure $7 million by optimizing cross border waste management
- Immutable, digitally signed PDFs with a verifiable timestamp using SignRequest
Executed legal contracts, hashed on blockchain via a smartphone using Quislex
15) - Anchoring transactions account for the majority of all transactions (roughly 90%).
- Going forward, continued emphasis could be put into business identities on the blockchain, solving KYC issues, a big pain point for particularly banks.
16) - As we can see below, LTO is a healthy network with organically driven transactions:
17) Partnerships & Collaborations
This increasing popularity has enabled LTO to collaborate with some well-established parties aside from the UN, including:
18) - International Organization for Standardization (ISO). LTO is a contributor to the ISO Organization with the aim to establish standards for BC technology;
- IBM. Both IBM and LTO Network have formed a partnership with VI-D to deliver The Internet of Environments.
19) - CerTik. CerTik takes care of audits for plug-and-play and custom live contract templates for organizations to incorporate into their IT environments.
20) - NEN and LTO Network will collaborate by providing certificates with QR codes, connected to the LTO Network. The rightful owner of the certificate can be verified and checked using LTO Network.
21) - VIDT Datalink. As mentioned, LTO Network and VIDT Datalink have combined resources with an aim to dominate the B2B blockchain industry.
22) Key Technologies

Leased-Proof-of-Stake:
- Rewards are transaction fees on the network corresponding to the ratio of your staked amount to the total staked amount.
23) - Node operators are given an incentive for holding an amount of LTO Network tokens proportional to the transactions originating from their node.
24) DID (Decentralized Identity) and SSI (Self Sovereign Identity)

- Foundation to create new products & services, e.g. one-click KYC for businesses and cross-chain associations, all while retaining GDPR compliance.
25) - Cross-chain association. The cross-chain associations are leveraged to indicate a relationship between various accounts on the LTO Network. By utilizing associations with cross-chain DIDs, relations on different blockchains can be created on the LTO Network.
26) - Wallet integration. LTO identity nodes will adhere to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and the Rosetta standards. This will enable software interoperability that is run by stakeholders in the industry.
27) - Decentralized identifiers. DIDs are known as unique identifiers that specify both a blockchain and an address.
28) - Derived DIDs. It’s not advisable to use DIDs of private identities as they contain personal information. It is more secure for new key pairs to be generated for each separate use. LTO offers an alternative to generate many derived DIDs from a single public key.
29) - GDPR compliance. LTO makes GDPR more friendly to businesses by automating the process of managing data storage and mgmt. Combining with verified credentials provide the end-user complete control over personal data without having to worry about regulatory issues.
30) Live contracts
- Smart Contract are less readable by humans than a standard contract while still being open to exploits.
-Smart Contracts do not operate within a legal framework and are not enforceable by a judicial system.
31) - Live contracts are human and machine readable, and are constantly updated
- Live contracts allow easier integration with legal frameworks. LTO was built specifically to be EU GDPR compliant
32) Tokenomics
- LTO has chosen to design more organic tokenomics. As the platform increases in health/users we see the intrinsic value of the token appreciating. However, it is possible the token price will not converge with its intrinsic value over shorter time horizons.
33) - Additional risks include the price of anchoring transactions (90% of total). As the nominal fiat prices of these transactions increase, node holders will likely need to reduce the LTO needed for anchoring to keep the fiat prices of these transactions at an acceptable level.
34) - It is important to note, that many business interactions with the LTO network are not from crypto users, therefore large LTO price swings could impact businesses who work in fiat.
35) - Deflationary Fee-Burn Token Economics. Burns every transaction made on the mainnet. (https://t.co/sV23AAv4IL)
36) Conclusion
- As one of the first teams to bridge the gap between BC agreements and legal jurisdiction, as well as being fully GDPR compliant, we see LTO as being one of few blockchains fit to serve the BC needs of a wide-ranging group of firms. Growth potential is immense.
37) - Going forward, it is even possible that LTO provides solutions related to SME lending, with DeFi implications.
- Judging from expected transactions, we expect to see a healthy ecosystem driven by a strong roadmap and vision that focuses on real pain points such as SSIs
38) - However, from a tokenomics perspective, it should be considered that as the token price (LTO) soars, the price to utilize LTO will increase, which is not desirable from a user standpoint.
39) - Finally, Sino currently does not hold a position in LTO. However, we reserve the right to invest in the future and without prior or public notice.

Election day in US; to skip the politics and get straight to the money, here's our quarterly update. How do gold, silver, and government fiat money compare with bitcoin's 21 million? #Bitcoin is the 10th largest money in the world, ex-gold & silver. This is update #10.


2/ Bitcoin's monetary system marches on its continuously-lowering coin emission; meanwhile, other world monetary systems' units inflate, either naturally (like gold & silver ounces), or via monopolistic privilege (like government fiat money "printing").

3/ What follows isn't a lesson in stimulus or bailouts, whatever the world faces. It's an attempt at painting the monetary landscape around the globe. The dollars, euros, and yen we're all familiar with, collectively, are worth $25 trillion. This is an exercise in perspective.

4/ As many know, the response from governments worldwide to Covid-19 has been drastic, so expect big moves. Also interestingly, central banks have been much slower to update their data these days.

5/ Gold & silver is base money of the past. Government fiat is base money today. It comprises both physical cash… and a digital cash component. Bitcoin may be base money of the future. Before we get to the charts, it's important to clarify a few common misconceptions in money.

@VentureCoinist @HypeBillion @MycolePawket If the whole world settled on one stablecoin, I'd agree with you. But stablecoins are always going to be tied to jurisdictions and counter-parties too. So it is unlikely one winner will emerge.

@HypeBillion @MycolePawket Today, one of the roles of the dollar is acting as an intermediary or bridge between currencies. For that role, its tie to the US jurisdiction is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Better US than a worse jurisdiction, but a pure digital asset is better still.

@HypeBillion @MycolePawket Imagine a future (maybe not so far off) where everything is tokenized and you can have your salary agreed in dollars but gold gets delivered to your wallet and you can buy groceries by selling tokenized shares of a REIT.

@HypeBillion @MycolePawket In that world, there will need to be concentrations of liquidity. You can't go from gold to shares of an obscure REIT by finding people who want to go those same shares to gold. The liquidity-concentrating asset likely can't be one country's currency. How could that be universal?

@HypeBillion @MycolePawket So, sure, if you get paid in dollars and pay your bills in dollars, it may make sense for you to use a dollar-denominated stablecoin for short-term holdings and payments. Absolutely.

2020 was a game changer for Ethereum.

The vast majority of its success was fueled by #DeFi.

Here's what happened in 5 Tweets 🔽

1) Governance Tokens 🪙

Projects gave complete ownership of billion dollar protocols to their users, often using retroactive airdrops.

Early adopters earned tokens for past usage, and token-based voting now dictates all technical


2) Liquidity Mining ⛏️

Power users were the first to earn on-going distribution by providing liquidity.

$COMP sparked the wave, with $BAL coining the term a few weeks


3) Yield Faming 🌾

Projects coupled liquidity mining and governance tokens to boost 'yields' by combining lending rates with an incentive layer.

APYs peaked as high as 1M% during 'DeFi summer', leading to a 'food coin' craze like $YAM and


4) Fair Launches ✅

Who needs investment when you can launch using yield farming?

Scathing comments on Crypto from Mr Rabi Shankar - Deputy Governor, RBI.

1) On crypto being treated as a currency:
"Currency always has an issuer, usually a trusted entity like the sovereign. Even when gold is used as a currency, the gold coins had to be issued by a sovereign.

Secondly, historically, a currency has always been either a commodity with intrinsic value or a debt instrument. Cryptocurrencies do not conform
to this understanding as they do not have an issuer, they are not an instrument of debt/commodities nor do have any intrinsic value.

Currency needs trust, not everything that can be trusted is a currency. So even if technology (as
in a blockchain) provides the trust for cryptocurrencies, they can at best perform the role of a currency within the private and closed environment of that cryptocurrency.

They do not, and should not, automatically become a currency for the larger society "

2) On crypto being treated as a financial asset : "This is also problematic because all financial assets have underlying cash flows and need to be some person’s liability.

1 - Over the years I've learnt a lot of new things that I wish I knew when I first started so I want to make this thread for all the new traders out there who wants to turn their trading into a profitable career 🔥

Will be adding to this thread over time.

17 - Because trading is a game of numbers and probabilities, whenever you see a setup that fits your trading rules and aligns with your edge, you NEED to take the opportunity!

Don't pick and choose, just religiously follow your plan and rules!

THREAD: What is Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle and how it impacts India?

Golden Crescent region of South Asia - comprises of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan - which is a principal global site for opium production and distribution.


Golden Triangle is the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet at the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong rivers. The Golden Triangle is called so because of the triangular shape formed by the locations of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan on a map.


India is wedged bw world’s 2 largest areas of illicit opium production, Golden Crescent & Golden Triangle, that has made Indian borders vulnerable to drug trafficking. It flows from 2 fronts, NW & NE, that possesses dual concern - violation of border & threat to national security

- Golden Crescent is world’s leading opium and cannabis producing region since 1983.

- Its proximity to Indo-Pak border has worsened the trafficking of hashish and heroin into Indian soil

- Trafficking happens through the border states of J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat.


- Golden Triangle is leading opium producing region of the South-east Asia, also an ancient narcotics supply route to North America & Europe.

- Myanmar-Northeast nexus is recognized by NCB as the root of heroin & chemical drugs

- Myanmar produces 80% of heroin produced in world

@FionaPearman @ScottMorrisonMP Morrison is our statue of unempathic neoliberalism - erected by evangelical and corporate Australia to celebrate their victory over compassion, equality and secular humanism. 

Hopefully it gets pulled down like the statues of dubious heroes of oppression from an earlier age.


@ScottMorrisonMP The two-party-preferred system in 
Australia politics isn’t working for people, and it sure isn’t working for the planet.

@ScottMorrisonMP My collapse of faith in our democracies isn’t an accident. It’s one of the central victories of the neoliberal project, delivered through two generations of privatisation, outsourcing and deregulation, underfunding of government services (locked in by tax cuts),...

@ScottMorrisonMP restricting freedom of information, targeting whistleblowers and raiding the media who report on them, delegitimising and gagging public interest advocacy, and criminalising protest.

@ScottMorrisonMP Politics in Australia today relies hugely on the fact that most people don’t know most of what’s going on so as to get away with stuff that couldn’t be done under real scrutiny we have seen a clear example of this with the National Coronvirus Cabinet.

ARULMIGU SRI PARTHASARATHY SWAMY KSHETRAM, CHENNAI (TN)

Divya Desha where Perumal appears with moustache of a Sarathi (charioteer) to conduct Arjun’s Rath in Kurukshetra war.
Here, Venkatkrishna-Parthasarthy is present with his entire family.


He is flanked by Sri Rukmini, Sri Balarama, Satyaki, son Pradyumn and grandson Anirudha.
It is said that on the request of Raja Sumathirajan, Sri Perumal appeared and stayed here as Arjun’s charioteer (Partha-sarathi).


He is without chakra as he had promised not to wield weapons in Mahabharata war.
The face has scars caused by Bhishma’s arrows on Arjun. Prabhu took the arrows on himself to protect Arjun.


The Naivedyam offered here does not have spices. Ghee is used in it to cure Prabhu’s wounds. Sarkarai Pongal is famous here.

It is said that Rishi Bhrigu found Devi Lakshmi (as Vedvalli) in Alli flower in the mandir pushkarini. Later, Sri Ranganatha came here to marry her.

Beautiful Story of Guruvayurappan

Poonathanam Namboothiri was a great devotee of Guruvayurappan. One day Poonthanam was going to Guruvayur Kshetram. It was night time and eventhough Namboothiri was tired he continued to walk


Suddenly some thieves came and blocked his way. Poonthanam cried for Shri Krishna to help. Thieves snatched all valuables from him, but Namboothiri holding his Bhaghavatam book called Shri Krishna to help. That time a man came in a horse back and fought with thieves and protected


Namboothiri. Poonthanam thanked Krishna for helping him from danger and said to the man that "Shri Krishna has send you here and I don't know how to thank you".  The man smiled and told that he is Mangattachan, minister of  samoodhiris. Poonthanam once again thanked him and


gave his ring to Mangattachan as a token of thanks and continued his journey. He reached Guruvayur early morning for Nirmalya Darshan. Temple poojari came near him and told that Guruvayurappan came in his dreams and asked to hand over the ring to poonthanam.


When he opened Kshetra Nada poonthanam was surprised to see his ring on Guruvayurappan, which he gifted to Mangattachan. He understood that it was Guruvayurappan who came as Mangattachan to protect him. This is how Bhagwan treat his devotees.

Hare Krishna
