If you have a Crypto wallet and hold any value of cryptocurrency, you’re much further along than I was 2 months.

If you’ve never heard of the Drip Network: it’s about time that you do.

I want to share this project I have invested in heavily over the last few months that is changing my life.

And it is the easiest and most rewarding project to get into. (especially if you are new to the world of crypto)

The fundamental principles of this project are simple. Invest money and gain 1% daily interest on that initial investment.

If I invest 100 today, I’ll earn 1 daily up to a multiplier of 3.65.

That’s a nice return on investment. Whatever amount you deposit, the Drip Network allows you to claim 1% daily back on that initial principle up to a max payout of 3.65 times those deposits.

If you invest 1000, you are entitled to 1000 X 3.65 return on that investment.

THE DRIP NETWORK’S FAUCET IS A LOW-RISK, HIGH REWARD CONTRACT THAT OPERATES SIMILARLY TO A HIGH YIELD CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT. PLAYERS CAN PARTICIPATE BY PURCHASING DRIP FROM THE PLATFORM’S SWAP PAGE, JOINING ANOTHER USER’S DRIP TEAM (10 DRIPMINIMUM REQUIREMENT) DEPOSITING DRIP TO THE FAUCET CONTRACT EARNS A CONSISTENT 1% DAILY RETURN OF THEIR DRIP (365% MAXIMUM PAYOUT) PASSIVELY. — from the Drip Whitepaper

Here is a snapshot of my faucet(where all deposits are stored).

The available balance represents my 1% daily accrued from the deposits. Every 24 hours, I get 1% of what is in my deposits.

The deposits are all that I have invested into the faucet. This balance is locked into the faucet and cannot be withdrawn.

The claimed balanced represents how much I have cashed out or compounded back into the faucet.

The Max Payout represents the total of Drip I am entitled to claim.

Clean; simple; fun.

And that’s not even the good stuff.

What makes the Drip Network an enticing and viable investment platform is its ability to compound accrued daily interest.

Any time, you can choose to compound your available balance by sending it back into your deposits. This function is called hydrate, and it allows you to grow your initial principle by compounding your daily interest.

By compounding, the balance of the deposits grows, and you begin to yield higher daily interests amounts. Over a long time, this begins to snowball.

Let’s take that initial deposit of 100. By just letting it sit there for a year, it would accrue 1% of daily return for 365 days, bringing you a claimable balance of 365 in the end.

A good return on investment.

However, if you were to compound that available balance daily, your net deposit at the end of the year would be closer to 3700.

Try it now. Take a calculator, begin with a balance of 100 and multiply by 1.01(1%) 365 times. The result should be 3678!

That is something to get excited about and the main reason the Drip Network has been taking off.

Even if the price of the Drip token were to fall drastically over that year, there is a healthy chance that a return of investment would still exist. As long as you compounded regularly.

And the price of the Drip token has been rising steadily!

The Drip Network claims its ingenious sustainability through a number of mechanisms, one being its taxation.

Most actions on the network are taxed and returned to the ecosystem.

All deposits are taxed 10%

All claims are taxed 10%

All sells are taxed 10%

All hydrations are taxed 5%

In addition, there exists a ‘whale tax’ that helps to ensure no single member compromises the health of the ecosystem by withdrawing a large amount at once.

One important metric that initially drew me to the platform was the community. Its members are exuberantly engaged and overwhelmingly positive about the aims and ambitions of the project.

And the growth numbers are phenomenal.

Since I joined in early December, new members have skyrocketed and hit an exponential curve.

December more than doubled the record month of November and January is on pace to nearly double the number of sign-ups in December.

There are over 30 000 members in the Drip faucet already, and January is on pace to receive 20 000 new members alone.

The journey is only beginning, and the community is doing its part in sharing the enthusiasm!

The fact that the network has been around since April shows its sustainability and track record. And mainstream adoption is coming!

2. Once you have connected your wallet, you can exchange BNB for DRIP. You’ll need to approve DRIP in your wallet first.

3. Then go to the FAUCET page and enter a buddy address in the referral section. You can scroll down the page to find the buddy section(you need one to deposit into the faucet). It should look like this!

4. Enter a Buddy address. Consider joining my team(DripToWin) and adding my address for your Buddy: 0x7A0F1202E5B4De6aF4b527221EfdF0FbeB10adD1

5. Deposit at least 1 DRIP into the FAUCET(Ensure you have enough BNB to pay for the gas fees. 0.05 BNB should be enough to get started)

6. You’re setup on DRIP. Let the games begin and get ready to receive 1% daily! Remember to return often to hydrate your available balance to receive compound interest on your deposits!

7. I joined the Drip Network one month ago, looking for a high-yield, sustainable investment. I had very little knowledge of the crypto world but quickly grew confident by immersing myself in the community. The idea of risking something small now, with the potential to let it sit and grow into something exponential in the future, played perfectly into my ambitions.

8. I love thinking about delayed gratification. And the Drip Network is exactly that.

9. I invest now with the hopes of seeing it pay out tremendously in the future.

10. I was fortunate to enter when the price was relatively low(compared to today). My investment has already tripled, and with the growth and excitement of the community, and the backing of a rock-solid dev team, I do not doubt that the Drip ecosystem will grow positively over the coming years.

11. This is by no means financial advice. My only advice would be to invest only what you can afford to lose in all projects concerning crypto. Remember to do your own research as well. Here is the whitepaper for the project. I hope you found this informative and I look forward to seeing you on my team!

The biggest drawback of the Ethereum blockchain is that it is not yet developed enough to handle large volumes of transactions with ease. Transaction processing is slow, which can cause you to miss important opportunities. In addition, users have complained about the high gas fees. Gas fees are the costs that users have to pay in order for their transactions to go through.

When a user wants to make a transaction, they also have to pay for each action that they perform on the network. To counter these issues, users usually consider switching to other chains in the market. However, adapting to a new chain is always difficult because there are numerous challenges that come with it.

This is where Cronos World comes in handy. Users can find everything Cronos has to offer at Cronos World, all under one roof. If you already have Ethereum-based decentralized applications (DApps) or smart contracts, you can port them to Cronos without much modification. The platform serves as a Launchpad, an NFT marketplace, and an AMM DEX.

You need to find a way to make money from your NFTs. You don’t have the time or resources to do it yourself. CronosWorld is the perfect solution for you. It offers a simple and easy-to-use NFT marketplace that is designed with modern-day needs in mind. The Launchpad feature helps users launch their blockchain projects with the greatest ease and professionalism.

Developed by Crypto.com, Cronos is a sidechain. A sidechain is a separate blockchain that is linked up with the main chain. We can experiment, innovate and compete to improve existing protocols by creating a new blockchain that is linked to the native chain. Cronos offers the ability to port applications developed on any EVM-based chain onto its network. You can keep running all of your existing Ethereum apps on this chain for free. You do not have to reinvest all your existing investments in your app when you move to a new chain.

Index DAO is building DeFi’s answer to thematic-driven Exchange Traded Funds (’ETFs’) — think Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street and ProShares in TradFi. As DeFi has grown over the last 18 months we have seen the crypto-native replication of various essential TradFi functions: equities, IPOs, liquidity provision / market-making, options, reserve currencies and (the greenshoots of) fixed income / debt. ETFs remain under-utilised in DeFi, which is exactly what we are seeking to change at Index DAO!

What are ETFs and why do we want to bring them to DeFi?

So what about ETFs? How are they used in TradFi?

ETFs represent about 10% of total market capitalisation on mature TradFi exchanges. Their ubiquity is due to the range of benefits they provide market participants:

How big is the market opportunity in DeFi?

We believe the market opportunity for DeFi ETFs is at least several billion dollars of Assets Under Management (’AUM’) in the short to medium term. If you believe that proportion of market cap in ETFs in DeFi begins to converge toward its TradFi equivalent (10%, recall above), then the AUM in ETFs in DeFi should begin to approach USD$14.5bn, at today’s current DeFi market cap. We view DeFi as only having USD$300m in ETFs, shout out Index Co-Op! (note this does not include BTC and ETH ETFs listed on TradFi exchanges as we have also excluded them from our definition of ‘DeFi’). Therefore, over the long term, DeFi ETFs are potentially an additional US$14bn opportunity, or 48x from current levels.

Note: for the sake of everyone’s sanity, we are not suggesting DeFI ETFs are going to 48x in the next twelve months. This is simply to illustrate the scale of the potential opportunity in front of us. We also don’t intend to build a Vanguard 2.0 — on-chain replication of TradFi concepts isn’t cool. This is our first GTM primitive and we are excited to continue to build and innovate with you all in order to improve the index investing experience for everyone.

Ok, so what is the product?

v1.0 of the product is an index fund that uses Olympus bonding and staking mechanics to bootstrap a treasury of re-basing tokens. Stakers of the INDEX token will accrue value through APY (bonding emissions) and appreciation (or depreciation) of the treasury assets (ie the APY received on the gOHM and Memo in the treasury)

Other important details about v1.0:

What is the roadmap?

We will execute the roadmap in a few phases:

When different products? and why start with an index fund for rebasing tokens?

Le swing trading est différent du day trading, qui implique généralement des positions plus fréquentes et de courte durée pour une expérience de trading plus active.

Il diffère également beaucoup de l’investissement à plus long terme de type “buy and hold”, qui se déroule sur de longues périodes de plusieurs mois, voire plusieurs années.

Le swing trading se situe plutôt dans la gamme des trades à moyen terme, avec des intervalles de quelques jours à quelques semaines entre les positions. Cette technique doit son nom au fait qu’elle implique de synchroniser le haut et le bas de chaque swing.

Le swing trading consiste à prendre des positions à moyen terme sur un actif, sur une période allant de quelques jours à quelques semaines.

Par exemple, un swing trader prévoit de prendre une position avant la publication des résultats d’une grande entreprise dans le courant du mois. L’attente de nouvelles ou de résultats positifs peut entraîner une hausse de la valorisation de l’actif par anticipation.

Des semaines plus tard, lorsque l’appel à résultats ne produit pas les rendements positifs escomptés, le trader sortira de sa position avant que la tendance ne se retourne à la baisse.

Ce qui distingue un swing trader d’un day trader, c’est de chronométrer les marchés de cette manière, au bas ou au sommet de chaque tendance à moyen terme.

L’objectif est de profiter du changement radical de prix que le trader s’attend à voir se produire entre les deux. Les swing traders effectuent des recherches approfondies, qu’il s’agisse d’analyse fondamentale ou d’analyse technique.

Alors que les day traders se concentrent moins sur les fondamentaux en raison du fait que les trades peuvent être à court terme, et que les investisseurs ou les traders de tendance se concentrent presque entièrement sur les fondamentaux, les swing traders se situent à nouveau quelque part au milieu, en s’appuyant sur les deux outils de manière égale.

Les swing traders accordent une attention particulière aux fondamentaux des entreprises, qui mettent souvent des jours ou des semaines à changer suffisamment pour avoir un impact sur l’action des prix.

Dans l’exemple de swing trading ci-dessous, l’indice de force relative a atteint le bas de la jauge, déclenchant un signal d’achat.

Sept semaines plus tard, le RSI a atteint le haut de la jauge, ce qui serait un signal pour le swing trader de fermer sa position et de vendre l’actif qu’il détenait.

Le gain sur la position de 41 jours a permis au trader d’obtenir un retour sur investissement de plus de 33 %.

L’exemple ci-dessus est tiré de l’action du prix du BTCUSD lors du marché baissier du bitcoin en 2018. Les crypto-actifs sont des actifs très volatils qui sont idéaux pour le swing trading.

Les autres instruments de trading idéaux pour le swing trading comprennent les indices boursiers, les matières premières, l’or, l’argent, le forex, et plus encore.

Tout le monde peut apprendre à devenir un swing trader. Commencez par comprendre la définition de ce que signifie le swing trading, apprenez toutes les bases, puis commencez à chercher si le swing trading vous convient.

Comme pour toute carrière ou tout passe-temps, le temps et l’attention à long terme que vous accorderez à ce sujet détermineront si vous gagnerez un maigre revenu moyen en pratiquant le swing trading, ou si vous pouvez en devenir riche.

Pour une formation complémentaire ou des documents de référence, envisagez d’acheter l’un des nombreux livres disponibles sur le sujet, notamment Swing Trading For Dummies, The Master Swing Trader, ou Swing Trading : The Definitive and Step-by-Step Guide. L’argent dépensé sera rentabilisé par les connaissances et les compétences acquises.

Apprendre à pratiquer le swing trading implique de se concentrer sur trois domaines clés : le point d’entrée de chaque trade, ou l’endroit où le trader prendra position ; le niveau de sortie ou l’objectif de prise de bénéfices ; et le niveau défini où un stop loss doit être placé.

Pour des stratégies de trading plus avancées, le swing trading peut être combiné avec de nombreux indicateurs d’analyse technique pour obtenir des résultats encore meilleurs. Ces outils peuvent aider les traders à comprendre quand entrer ou sortir d’une position, où placer un stop loss, et quand sortir d’un swing trade qui a mal tourné.

L’étape suivante, après avoir acquis suffisamment de connaissances pour vous permettre d’effectuer votre premier dépôt, consiste à choisir la bonne plateforme de trading. Toute plateforme doit offrir une variété d’outils pour les débutants et les professionnels, fournir de nombreux instruments de trading différents, et avoir un historique fiable et une réputation positive.

Pour commencer, un compte doit être approvisionné. Une fois le dépôt effectué et le compte approvisionné, l’analyse technique est la prochaine étape logique pour préparer un plan de trading. Envisagez l’une des nombreuses stratégies de gestion du risque disponibles et commencez à élaborer une stratégie pour votre premier trading.

Une fois que vous avez trouvé le niveau auquel vous prévoyez d’entrer, mettez en place un ordre à cours limité, un ordre de prise de bénéfices et un niveau d’arrêt des pertes pour établir votre premier plan de trading complet. Félicitations, vous êtes maintenant par définition un swing trader après avoir effectué et clôturé votre premier trade à moyen terme.

Le swing trading, comme toute technique de trading, a sa part d’avantages et d’inconvénients, de pour et de contre. Nous allons présenter les problèmes et les avantages les plus courants du swing trading afin que vous puissiez évaluer si le swing trading vous convient par rapport à une autre technique.

Le Swing Trading est un moyen idéal de trader l’action des prix entre des tendances plus fortes. Si une tendance est trop forte dans une direction, il n’y aura pas suffisamment d’opportunités pour de grandes fluctuations dans les deux sens.

Bien que la durée plus longue rende certains outils utilisés pour le day trading moins efficaces, la plupart des mêmes indicateurs d’analyse technique peuvent être utilisés indépendamment de la période. D’autres s’avèrent même plus efficaces pour le swing trading que pour le day trading.

Vous trouverez ci-dessous certaines des stratégies de swing trading les plus faciles à suivre qui peuvent être utilisées régulièrement pour exécuter des plans de trading réussis.

Le MACD est un indicateur de suivi de momentum qui peut être utilisé pour prendre une position lors d’un croisement haussier ou baissier des deux moyennes mobiles. L’outil comprend également un histogramme pour une analyse visuelle supplémentaire.

Dans l’exemple ci-dessus, un trade swing court est ouvert au moment où le croisement baissier se produit. Une nouvelle action baissière sur le prix peut être observée lorsque l’histogramme s’enfonce davantage dans le rouge. La clôture de la position courte et l’ouverture d’une nouvelle position longue ont lieu au moment où le croisement haussier se produit.

Le trading qui en résulte a fourni un rendement de plus de 11 % en moins de dix jours. C’est plus d’un pour cent.

L’indicateur Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, ou Ichimoku en abrégé, offre un regard “en un coup d’œil” sur le temps et l’action des prix, intégré dans un outil visuel complexe. Bien que l’indicateur Ichimoku puisse être complexe, avec de nombreux outils uniques tels que le nuage et les différentes lignes de span, il peut également être utilisé pour créer une stratégie très directe et simple pour le swing trading.

Dans le graphique ci-dessus, le senkou span A et le senkou span B se sont croisés à la hausse avant le 20 février, puis à la baisse après le 11 mars. Un trade long est effectué lors du croisement haussier, et une position courte est ouverte lors du croisement baissier.

Notez comment le prix était soutenu par la ligne de span bleue. Dès la première cassure de la ligne, c’est un signal à surveiller pour un renversement de la tendance haussière si le prix clôture en dessous des deux lignes et croise ensuite à la baisse.

L’indicateur SAR parabolique est l’un des outils les plus faciles à utiliser mais aussi les plus polyvalents. Bien qu’il puisse s’agir d’un indicateur retardé, il constitue également un outil extrêmement utile pour définir des seuils de déclenchement (trailing stop loss).

Un stop loss de suivi déplace le stop loss vers le bas ou vers le haut en fonction de l’action du prix, le plaçant de plus en plus dans un profit plus élevé. En plaçant un stop loss sous les points SAR, bien que le stop puisse être touché, il clôturera en profit et, en raison de la façon dont l’outil fonctionne, il y a une forte probabilité qu’un renversement ait également lieu et que clôturer soit la meilleure décision à prendre de toute façon.

Dans l’exemple ci-dessus, un trade court est ouvert au moment où le prix perce le point SAR à la hausse et le traverse à la baisse. Une clôture et un trade long doivent ensuite être ouverts lorsque l’inverse se produit et qu’une bougie de prix traverse à nouveau les points à la hausse depuis le bas.

En utilisant cette stratégie simple, un trading de plus de 15% a été possible sur les marchés du pétrole brut.

L’indice de force relative, ou RSI, est un indicateur de mesure de la force de la tendance qui signale également lorsqu’un actif est extrêmement suracheté ou survendu. Cependant, ces conditions peuvent rester à des pics extrêmes pendant les fortes tendances dans une direction ou dans l’autre.

Pendant les marchés à fluctuation, le RSI peut être un outil de swing trading puissant et rentable.

Dans le graphique BTCUSD ci-dessus, le RSI touche le bas de la jauge où un trading long serait ouvert lorsque l’actif devient survendu. Une formation en tête et épaules finit par se former, et se confirme, poussant le prix à la hausse vers des niveaux de surachat.

Un trade court serait ouvert et le long fermé une fois que le RSI montre que les conditions de surachat ont été atteintes.

Les bandes de Bollinger sont un outil unique qui enferme l’action du prix dans deux bandes. Les bandes de Bollinger sont composées d’une moyenne mobile simple, puis de deux écarts types de cette moyenne mobile. Ces outils peuvent fournir une variété de signaux, mais pour le swing trading, un passage sous la SMA confirme qu’une position doit être prise.

Dans l’exemple ci-dessus, le S&P 500 est passé sous la SMA vers le 7 mai, date à laquelle un trade short aurait été ouvert. Le trade serait fermé et un nouveau swing long serait ouvert lorsque le prix passerait à nouveau par la SMA.

Notez qu’il s’agit d’une des approches les plus conservatrices de l’utilisation des bandes de Bollinger, mais que le risque global est moindre.

Les bandes de Bollinger peuvent également être utilisées pour mesurer la volatilité globale ou son absence, via l’élargissement et le resserrement des deux bandes.

L’oscillateur stochastique, ou stoch en abrégé, est un autre indicateur de mesure du momentum. Le stochastique note quand les tendances s’essoufflent, mais donne également un signal d’achat ou de vente avec un croisement haussier ou baissier des deux lignes.

Dans l’exemple ci-dessus, un trading presque sans faille est mis en place lorsque le croisement baissier se produit. Un trade court peut être maintenu jusqu’à ce que le croisement haussier se produise, ce qui se traduit par un gain de plus de 15 % sur le Dow Jones. Une position longue peut être ouverte au moment du croisement haussier pour un nouveau trading réussi.

Le day trading est un trading très fréquent, très actif, qui dure de quelques minutes à quelques heures. Tout au plus, un day trader peut conserver une position toute la nuit, mais c’est extrême pour un day trader.

Les day traders sont toujours à la recherche du prochain mouvement, même parfois pendant la position qu’ils occupent déjà. Les day traders peuvent même prendre plusieurs positions en une seule journée, sur le même actif.

Ils peuvent même acheter un actif au début de la séance de trading, le vendre à l’heure du déjeuner et l’acheter à nouveau avant la fin de la journée.

Les day traders peuvent accumuler des profits beaucoup plus rapidement, mais ils sont constamment attachés à leur bureau de trading, car ils doivent toujours surveiller les transactions à court terme et se préparer à la suivante.

Les day traders peuvent également accumuler beaucoup de frais avec cette technique de trading active, alors que les swing traders effectuent si peu de trades entre eux que les frais deviennent rarement un problème.

Les day traders se concentrent également presque uniquement sur l’analyse technique et les nouvelles, plutôt que sur l’analyse fondamentale qui a un impact sur la santé à long terme d’un actif.

Les swing traders, quant à eux, se concentrent sur les trades à moyen terme, qui durent de quelques jours à quelques semaines. Parfois, les traders durent plus d’un mois ou plus, mais ils se situent toujours dans la fourchette ou les “semaines” qui définiraient un swing trader.

Les swing traders sont généralement moins stressés, peuvent gérer leurs positions à leur guise ou depuis leur téléphone portable, et jouissent de beaucoup plus de liberté que les day traders.

Les swing traders qui réussissent le mieux gagnent tout autant d’argent, avec beaucoup moins d’efforts. Mais chacun est différent, et trouver le style de trading qui vous convient le mieux est ce qui est le plus important pour générer des profits à chaque fois.

Maintenant que vous avez appris toutes les bases et les éléments constitutifs du swing trading, vous avez une base suffisamment solide pour pouvoir continuer à vous référer à ce guide utile et utiliser les stratégies de swing trading décrites pour développer et exécuter un plan de trading qui vous est propre.

Vous savez également comment placer un ordre limite, comment repérer les entrées et les sorties, et vous avez même appris à fixer correctement un stop loss en utilisant certains outils et indicateurs d’analyse technique. Vous êtes armé de tout ce qui est nécessaire pour devenir un swing trader rentable.

Pour affiner vos compétences, assurez-vous de poursuivre votre apprentissage via des cours de trading en ligne, des livres, des podcasts de trading ou en suivant d’autres grands traders du monde entier.

The key takeaway you should have from everything we’re about to get into is that the move to the Accountless Internet enabled by your Crypto Wallet means a completely different architecture for the applications you use. In a nutshell many of the elements that reside within an app and away from the user account will move from the app to the account. Most apps you deal with today perform some of useful service. To access this useful service you have an account that is effectively your identity within the app, but in this case the app houses your identity. In addition the app houses all the information created through your usage of the service. As a result it houses all the value created alongside those. In this sense apps are ‘accountful’, meaning the app houses, and in effect owns, your account and the information tied to it. But there’s nothing unique about this right? Everything is built this way. In a sense we’re kind of like the fish who don’t realize they’re in water. While it may seem grandiose to define a new term, in this case the term ‘accountful’ is something I hope will have the effect of leading you to ask ‘what the hell is water?’ We’re so used to accountful apps its almost impossible to notice they are a thing, or that there could be a different way. To make sense of an app being accountless, we needed to think of an app being accountful. In the Accountless paradigm the app is stripped down to the service, and everything else moves into the user account. Now those elements that live in the account become accessible by every app at the command of the user, and not the app they had used. In the accountless paradigm your meta-account is home to all of your value and your information. Or, at least the information and value you want tied to that single account, and by extension, to that identity.

How would these differences manifest in practice? Let’s take a look at how brokerage or trading would work, a case that relates to the ‘value’ side of things. In the current paradigm where accountful apps reign, you have an account with your brokerage, say Robinhood. That account defines your identity to them, it is a distinct account for this service. The assets, whether available cash or anything else, are held by the brokerage. Once you’re logged in, you tell Robinhood what you want to do, say use Cash to Buy XYZ. The action is performed, and now Robinhood holds more XYZ and less Cash on your behalf. You log out, the assets stay there. In the accountless internet paradigm enabled by your crypto wallet you have one account also known as a wallet, your assets, whether available cash or anything else live there. When you go to the service provider, let’s say Uniswap, you just connect your wallet, and now you’re in. You tell the app what you want to do, let’s say use Cash to Buy XYZ. The app asks for permission to use your cash. You grant it. The app then asks you again for the exact action you want to take. You confirm, and then it’s done. You now have less cash, and more XYZ. The assets are still in your account, they never left. You finish your interaction, you close the app, and the assets? They’re still in your account ready for the next time you’ll connect your wallet to another app. Regardless of which app it is.

So we talked about value, but what about information? How would that type of case work? Let’s start with how things work today, the accountful paradigm. I find an app I like, and I want to use it. Say it’s Twitter. I’m asked to sign up for an account, I use my email and now my sign-up action makes a write to the app’s database. I log in, inputting my newfound credentials & my input is checked against the database, it matches, great, now we’re in. Once logged in, the app shows me a feed. Let’s treat this as part of the service the app performs. The feed is compiled from previous writes made to the database, the feed I see is assembled by reading the subset of entries made by the accounts I follow. If I were to tweet, that would be another write to the database, perhaps an append to my already existing series of tweets. Once again everything other than my email lives inside of the app, my account, my own and others tweets, all of this information is held within.

In the accountless paradigm there would be no sign up. The app will ask me to connect my wallet, a substitute for making an account for the app. The app could permit me to make a pseudonym/public username associated with my wallet. If I were to tweet, the tweet would be writing a state update tied to my account. Every write creates a new entry ‘held within’ the account in no different fashion than how the account would hold assets. What about the feed? The app could assemble a floating database by reading all accounts that have chosen to connect to it, only displaying a feed of connected wallets. The feed I see would be the subset of connected wallets I chose to follow. When I connect my wallet the app can inquire about the length of the session I want to have. Think of this as pre-defining my desired screen time. This would act as pre-approval for the session such that I wouldn’t have to approve each time I wanted to post. This may not seem so different, and while the difference may be subtle, it’s certainly there. With the information of my posts held within the account I could leave the app the moment I’m no longer happy with its service. I no longer have to fear losing everything I’ve put into it, because an accountless app doesn’t own my information. An accountless app merely arranges it. In this sense applications become more like media players, and our information or value are the media. We pick the player we like best and we insert our media. We come to the app for the service. If the service is no longer appealing we can move to another. If the service shuts down, we may be disappointed, but we haven’t lost anything.

Why do I think this is so cool? Perhaps I’m over stating it, but I think there’s something magical about moving the information that previously lived within the confines of distinct apps into the account that created was the ultimate source for it. It’s not just about the control or sovereignty you could have over your information. It’s about all the things we can’t even imagine doing now but will be enabled by this shift in architecture. But to keep things in perspective here’s one thing that doesn’t seem so far out on the horizon that we couldn’t even imagine it today, and that’s messaging. Think of the Twitter example above, what’s really happening there? Messages are posted by users, and each message is written to the account instead of updating the app’s internal and siloed database. The app reads every connected account to display a feed. It’s already passing some information between these accounts, a form of messaging that resembles text or email is not too far away. You could create messages that are only readable by another account you specify. The message is written to your account with the specification it can only be viewed by another account, and in this case the app in question allows the other account to view it once connected. You could specify individual or group messages. Group messages could be designated via a shared account that is accessible by the individual accounts of everyone in the group. With all messages being tied to the account of the sender you could have better control than ever before. Who hasn’t sent an email they wish they could immediately undo? You clicked send and off the message went, into the ether on its way to the destination. While some messengers allow you to delete or edit a message after it has been sent, you have limited certainty about who else has that capability. When it comes to email, no major clients provide this capability. In an accountless architecture no messaging application would face a problem like this as every message is held within the account, viewable only by the recipients.

It’s time to rethink how applications are built. Why shouldn’t they be accountless? We should they be accountful? Why should they own your account, and by extension all of the information and value tied to or created by it? The most important question is why should we continue to build applications the same way we have until now? While it’s true that it’s still so early that it’s hard to picture the things uniquely enabled by the accountless internet, it’s not impossible. The things not possible in an accountful paradigm are not impossible to imagine. I’m going to make my best effort to do just that. To attempt and imagine them, and hopefully help manifest them into existence.

Hello my Dear Readers!

Today I decided to write this small off-topic article about dip days.

Some days, like this one, things just don’t work out. Solana Network faced some problems, the whole crypto and stock markets lost value, the Fed didn’t help and guess what? All the bills doesn’t seem to care at all!

We turn to our social media and the sages of twitter tell tales about chaos, opportunists try to sell courses in order to show you the way of picking risk less assets, some tell you to sell, some tell you to buy, but none of them know what you have and what is your time frame of investment, your expectations, fear or capital.

So If they are all just talking non sense, let us at least share a bit of our anxiety here, together, about the crypto scenario. I will start talking about my particular case.

I’m a Brazilian noot, and if you are at least a bit familiar with the world news you will reckon that Brazil has seen better days in the economics and politic levels. If I lose 1k dollars, it’s the same as throwing in the fire 6 months of my country minimum wage, so yeah, even though crypto is a huge opportunity to break us free from the economic constraints of our state, it comes with a very real and potent risk should my assets become dust.

If I know that, and I’m a responsible person, then I need to make use of most of my little noot brain to make good calls, and the first thing that comes into my mind when good calls are needed is noot acting on a impulse.

You see, modern psychology have already discovered that our brain is actually composed of two thinking process cores, the intuitive fast thinking system and the slow, slothful reason analytical core.

The first core takes impressions of the ambient, like, the prices are dropping, and tries to make a cohesive narrative from this, I bought a bad asset, that’s why the prices are dropping! Our first core tries to make reality conform with some sort of reasonable explanation in order for the world to make sense.

But that is just a bias of the first core. Today dip was not because your asset is necessarily bad, its because of billions of factors that we can’t ever hope to completely grasp!

Yeah, even though we desire that things occur in a rational matter, reality, especially when economics and feelings are in the game, simply don’t comply! The world has so many variables that influence in the markets that our limited knowledge about it can’t grasp them!

That’s why, in days like this, I force my brain to go into his analytical stage, and do his best to address the situation.

Another aspect that helps me a lot is not being over invested. Money is an excellent worker, but he is also a demoniac boss. You can’t hope to make good, rational chaos, or even be at the mercy of the master market if you need the money you are investing for the most simple aspects of life, like paying your rent.

This is also a conclusion of modern psychology, we are really bad at really considering risks! Remember that even if there is only 5% chance of disaster, you really need to be ready to face the disaster, or else, one day or another, the disaster will take you and you will be destroyed by him.

Finally, we have a saying here in Brazil that translates as Nothing like a day after another. If we have good assets, they might have diped today, they might dip tomorrow, but they won’t dip forever. It is in times of fear that the generation wealth is built, if your analytical system is in place, and you are capable of taking the risks without damaging your living, you can find great opportunities in times of fear.

Let us all take a deep breath and make the best possible calls in the scenario we are given, that’s the best and all that we can do.

Have a great weekend friends! Don’t forget to spend time with your loved ones!

In the first of two articles, I’m going to discuss the interlinked world of crypto, the blockchain and NFTs from a non-technical perspective, looking at the benefits and challenges that the sector faces as it moves from infancy into adolescence. It is possible that the technology will wither on the vine, but the sheer range of potential benefits that it looks like it could create mean that it has a strong potential to make a real difference as the decade progresses.

I’ll put a link to the second article here once it is available.

Remember those heady days back in March when everyone was talking about non-fungible tokens (NFTs)? The artist Beeple earned himself a USD69 million payday for a piece of NFT art entitled Everydays: The First 5000 Days. Social media timelines were suddenly crammed with NFT projects. Even the evening news was devoting thirty precious seconds of its schedule to explaining them. It all had the appearance of a hype bubble that was likely to quickly subside.

And at first glance that certainly seems to be the case. According to a broadly supportive article in Forbes [https://www.forbes.com/sites/lawrencewintermeyer/2021/04/29/nfts-combat-bubble-burst-claims-as-real-life-use-cases-push-forward/?sh=1bdc884b6ecb\], the average price of an NFT was 60% lower in April than it was in February. Trading volume is also said to have declined.

And yet.

Like most hype bubbles, there could well be something behind NFTs that will have value in the coming years.

NFTs are built on blockchains, the same technology architecture that underpins cryptocurrencies, that other great world changing technology/alleged bubble of recent years. At its most simple, it is an architecture that provides is a way of proving ownership of something. To put it fractionally more technically, a blockchain is a continuous decentralised data set where each change to the data has to be agreed with the other parts of the chain. To all intents and purposes this makes it prohibitively time consuming, some say impossible to falsify the information.

It is an approach that was developed to support cryptocurrencies, with each unit of currency represented by a unique, tradable block. Since bitcoin, the first of the modern cryptocurrencies, made its debut in 2009, it has been recognised that these unique blocks could be used to validate a far wider range of goods and services that extend beyond the digital world of crypto and out into the real world.

The move into digital art is a logical next step down this road, but many sector enthusiasts argue that it is not the final destination. Crypto, the blockchain and NFTs are a new technology architecture that has the potential to improve the way that several industries work if it can be implemented effectively.

There are a couple of related ways that this could evolve.

Focusing on NFT art for a moment, it could well become a positive long-term investment, part of a well-balanced portfolio, but art, even digital art, prefers to be displayed. This is particularly true if you are viewing it as an investment piece that you might be willing to sell on if the right offer came your way.

Which brings us neatly to the metaverse, a buzz word that you will potentially be hearing a lot about over the next few months. The metaverse is a potentially vast, interactive virtual reality space where people will be able to get together and interact in a far more immersive way that is currently the case in video conferencing. This could translate into several things. In some cases, it could be used for educational or business experiences, bringing teams or classes together in a virtual reality space. Ideas and knowledge can be shared more easily than is currently the case on the video conferencing sites that we have become so familiar with over the last 18 months.

At the same time, it can also be used to offer virtual spaces where possessions can be displayed. Possessions such as a NFT artwork. The fact that cryptocurrencies are virtually infinitely divisible means that it wouldn’t be too challenging to set a small fee for visiting each gallery. A micro fee might not sound like a large money spinner, but if you multiply it across the billions of people that potentially have access the metaverse via the internet, it could translate into a tidy fee.

There is also the possibility that this fee could be shared between the current owner of the art and the original artist, helping ensure that successful creatives receive reward as well as recognition for their creativity. This gives you a good example of how crypto could augment the current economics of an existing industry.

The other way that this could evolve would be the to augment existing industries. There are already several fascinating projects to use NFTs to tokenise products and services as diverse as educational certificates, oil and gas and even fine wine. A token can be associated with a physical asset at the point it is created and it can stay with that asset as it moves through its journey from production to end consumer. For example, a farm could tokenise a volume of grain, and that token could stay with the product through the refinement process as it is transformed into part of a box of cereal, through the supermarket supply chain right up to the point that the consumer picks it off the shelf.

Traceability has been a growing issue in the supermarket sector over the last few years, and while some projects have come close to making it possible, they tend to add significant administrative costs to the production process. A token can automatically be divided as the volume of grain is divided, meaning that back-office costs can be avoided by taking the NFT route.

Crypto, the blockchain and NFTs have the potential to make all manner of activities significantly more efficient, transparent and, in some cases, fun. These are the reasons why there are so many excited conversations going on around them at the moment and why their bubbles have yet to burst. Their ascendency is not guaranteed however, so in my next article, I will discuss some of the challenges they face.
