It’s always fun to guess what would happen next year, no matter how wrong we would be.

Below is my 2021 crystal ball – out there to be smashed :)

A thread to come.

1/ Theme 1: Bitcoin is still the King
2/ Breaking Theme 1 down into 5 things:

a) Bitcoin price hitting $100k
b) More momentum in developer sponsorship
c) Lightening getting beyond early adoption
d) Payment in bitcoin gaining more traction (Africa and LatAm)
e) More smart contracts built on top of bitcoin network
3/ Surprise Factor for Theme 1:

Will some small countries PUBLICLY load up bitcoin as part of their forex reserve?
4/ Theme 2:

Heightened focus on privacy continues to fuel DeFi growth
5/ Breaking down:

a) Reg tightening continues in western world
b) DeFi vs CBDCs (key word: censorship & nationalism)
c) Self-hosted wallet ecosystem starts to flourish
d) >5 out of top 10 tokens are DeFi tokens
e) Ethereum still dominates; 2-3 competing chains closing the gap
6/ Surprise Factor for Theme 2?

CBDCs never take off
7/ Theme 3:

More crypto M&As than IPOs in 2021, but native crypto projects are still more exciting
8/ Breaking this down:

a) With bitcoin more mainstream, comes the first crypto M&A wave
b) Finger-crossed for at least one crypto IPO that could further drive awareness
c) The heart (and future) of crypto community is still with decentralized crypto projects with native token
d
9/

d) Investments more than double in crypto projects, driven by bitcoin bull + DeFi run + remote lifestyle post COVID
e) Shall we expect a NFT season in 2021? – Entertainment and social may start to see more scalable crypto use cases
10/ Surprise Factor for this theme

We know what Facebook is trying to do.

Would Twitter incubate a crypto project to DISRUPT ITSELF?

Part of what is going on here is that large sectors of evangelicalism are poorly equipped to help people deal with basic struggles, let alone the ubiquitous pornography addictions that most of their men have been enslaved to for years.


On the one hand, there's a high standard of holiness. On the other hand, there's a model of growth that is basically "Try Harder to Mean it More." Identify the relevant scriptural truth & believe it with all of your sincerity so that you may access the Holy Spirit's help to obey.

Helping sincere believers believe and obey the Bible facts is pretty much all the Holy Spirit does these days, other than convict us of our sins in light of the Bible facts.

If you know you are sincere and hate your sin and believe the right Bible facts as hard as you can but continue to be enslaved to your pornography addiction, what else left for you to do? Just Really, Just Really, Just Really Trust God and Give it to Him?

To suggest that there are other strategies available sounds to those formed in this model of growth like one is also suggesting that the Bible is insufficient, but it also suggests something just as threatening- that there are aspects of reality that are not immediately apparent.
