I usually stay away from price predictions, but this time I couldn't help it. Just published "10 reasons why bitcoin will hit $100.000 in 2021".

Share it with a normie friend, maybe he/she will understand the value proposition of

Reason no. 1: during its 12 year-old existence, Bitcoin has performed a lot better as a store of value than gold.

https://t.co/3xxjeFJroS
Reason no. 2: Bitcoin is easier and less expensive to transfer than gold. This one is pretty self-explanatory, as gold is heavy and expensive to secure.

However, I believe that we should look up to gold a lot more often & look down to USD less frequently

https://t.co/dTqDaWZLr3
Reason no. 3: Bitcoins can be carried across borders a lot easier than gold and cash.

It's simple, really. With only a general-purpose electronic device (phone, laptop), piece of paper, or even 12 words that you memorize, you can move your wealth in a different country.
Reason no. 4: Bitcoin transactions cannot be censored.

In a world where PayPal and Visa can dictate your policy as a business and can shut you up from expressing political opinions, Bitcoin has a lot of value.
Reason no. 5: The Bitcoin network defends your property rights.

Private property rights are getting weaker in the countries that traditionally used to be the best at protecting them. OTOH, nobody can confiscate your bitcoins or tax you without consent.

Reason no. 6: With second layers and sidechains, Bitcoin beats Visa and Mastercard

Mainstream media enjoys shunning Bitcoin for its low tx/s capacity. But thanks to @lightning @Blockstream @Truthcoin @SomsenRuben @RSKsmart, Bitcoin will scale with sidechains & second layers.
Reason no. 7: Bitcoin is easier to use than ever

Today, you no longer need to use command-line input to be a first class Bitcoin citizen. @wasabiwallet & @bluewalletio offer sovereignty with great ease of use. Also, @mynodebtc, @fulmolightning & @getumbrel make full nodes simple
Reason no. 8: Bitcoin becomes a global brand

Let's just enumerate wealthy and influential people who tweeted about Bitcoin in the last few years: @jk_rowling @elonmusk @jack @stoolpresidente @tyler @cameron @benmezrich @MichellePhan.

Thanks to them, millions got exposed to BTC
Reason no.9: Bitcoin is becoming more private

Financial privacy boosts fungibility and therefore increases the value and utility of money. With privacy improvements such as Taproot, P2EP, and CoinJoins, Bitcoin becomes more private.

With Lightning & sidechains, it's even better
Reason no. 10: There will only be 21 million BTC and each one is divisible in 100 million satoshis

I don't expect @frances_coppola to understand this one, but scarcity and divisibility are very important. Today you can buy 2.7k sats with $1, so even the poorest people can buy in
Hey, @threadreaderapp unroll

1/ Welcome to #DeFi Wednesday.

Let's talk about how interest-bearing cash on a blockchain is going to revolutionise boring corporate treasury management that concerns every company is is a larger business than all crypto trading in the world.

Enter the thread

👇👇👇


2/ Blockchain community is often seen as toxic maxis and redditors who shill other their weekly favourite shitcoin in the hope of getting Lambo.

Sometimes we also do things that progress humanity towards the better future and interest-bearing cash is one of those things.


3/ Less chad and more things that actually matter:

My incomplete theory of interest-bearing cash is also available also as a blog post:

It is 15 pages. Pick your slow poison or die fast by continue reading here.

4/ First time in the history we have an ability to create interest-bearing cash-like instruments.

Interest-bearing cash ticks up dollar (euro) balance real-time in your wallet.

Here is a demonstration using @aaveaave aDAI, based on @makerdao DAI, and @TrustWalletApp


5/ Interest-bearing cash is not like your bank's saving account. Your money in a bank is not yours, but bank's. There are some flaws in the current banking system causing a headache for Chief Financial Officers (CFOs)
I'm sure someone else has explained this, but it is just so cool and I want to explain how this works.


So Curve is awesome for swaps between similar assets, right? The fact that they trade very close to each other is a key part about how Curve works, using it's custom swap invariant function.

That's step 1

Step 2 is that Synthetix is awesome for creating "synthetic assets" (aka synths) which are assets that trade like other assets, that are backed by another, entirely different asset. Basically, a plastic banana that I can buy and sell like a real banana.

Synthetix has a feature that lets you swap between any two synths with zero slippage and a flat fee. That's because it is simply converting the sythentic asset into another synthetic asset, the backing for the synth doesn't change it just uses a different price oracle now.

This is important. Absolutely no slippage, at any size

Swap $1m sUSD for $1m sBTC? flat 0.3% fee

Swap $10m sUSD for $10m sBTC? flat 0.3% fee

swap $100m sUSD for $100m sBTC? Well, there isn't that many synths in Curve, yet but you get the point. The only limit is the pool depth

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
