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

More from Crypto

Lots of people are sleeping on one the biggest things @quant_network is currently involved in-ODAP (Open Digital Asset Protocol).

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


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 ⬇️
1/ @MIT discussing the need for blockchain gateways to achieve interoperability across different blockchain networks, and to support the cross-blockchain mobility of virtual assets

https://t.co/PbjQkSlTT3

@quant_network are collaborating with MIT in the creation of ODAP

$QNT

2/ "In order for blockchain-based services to scale globally, blockchain networks must be able to interoperate with one another following a standardized protocol and interfaces (APIs)"

Gilbert founded ISO TC307 which 60 countries are working towards standardizing the interfaces


3/ "We believe that a blockchain gateway is needed for blockchain networks to interoperate in a manner similar
to border gateway routers in IP networks. Just as border gateway routers use the BGPv4 protocol to interact with one another in a peered fashion we believe that a...

4/ blockchain gateway protocol will be needed to permit the movement of virtual assets and related information across blockchain networks in a secure and privacy-preserving manner"

You can read more about the gateway protocol ODAP in this 21 tweet


5/
"We motivate the need for blockchain gateways and blockchain gateway protocols in the following summary:

✅Enables blockchain interoperability:
Blockchain gateways provide an interface for the interoperability between blockchain/DLT systems that operate distinct consensus...
