If $SUSHI allocates 2/3 of the tokens to $MOVR than they did for $AVAX, expectation might be ~2/3 of the adoption/TVL. A bit of an oversimplification but expectation might be $MOVR mcap and or users --> 2/3 of $AVAX. That'd e a 6.25x from here (price = $2400). Food for thought

Cosmos is the testing grounds for what will come to Ethereum. An obvious example is app-chains which are looking more and more like the future of Ethereum via L3s. See Optimism and zkSync's roadmaps. The nature of Cosmos makes it the frontier for devs who want to break things.

The Cosmofication of Ethereum creates a compelling opportunity for blue chip app tokens on Ethereum. Imo, Uniswap, Aave, etc. will have their own app-chains (likely as L3s) which would make their tokens much more valuable than today. Wait for the macro but worth considering.

Very excited to be speaking next week at the Workable Web3 Summit in Istanbul. My talk will be focused on user experience and how I think about taking the next step forward in making crypto more accessible and sticky for end users. Feel free to swing by if you're around :)

@Route2FI That's basically my story, I got into $BTC & $ETH back in early 2020 but I started my journey into going degen last November. Since then, my income from crypto has outpaced my salary by 400%. At 24, I am in a financial position I never imagined and it's all thanks to crypto 💎

@SecretNetwork 4/ - One of the primary opportunities I have identified is in stablecoins. For mass adoption, we’ll need a degree of privacy in our daily transactions/activity. I for one wouldn't want to live in a world where my purchasing activity is traceable by anyone with my wallet address.

@Route2FI Cannot wait for the Degenbox $UST - $MIM strategy to be on $FTM. Gonna be so nice to be able to incrementally add to the position without having to be hit with $100s of dollars in gas fees each time. Strat's about to become all-around significantly more flexible

I love speaking with anyone @cosmos / #IBC -involved. Whether they're a builder, community member, etc. there's a shared vision of innovation & disruption. Not in a top-down way tho, but in a bottom-up, community-first way. Really embodies the ethos of this space. Love being here

@steve_stevenso Me too, sold all of my $DOT into $ATOM back in November. I still keep an eye on DOT's parachain progress but so far my IBC user experience has been nothing short of incredible. Going to try to remain open minded but wow it won't be easy to be given what's still to come on IBC

@SecretNetwork @Shade_Protocol @StashhApp @secret_swap @sienna_network 15/ - $SCRT’s success will be centered around its tech, cross-chain positioning, & the builders behind the project. All three I find to be superior to competition. Though still an early-stage project, I believe Secret’s value will explode as the $ATOM ecosystem breaks out in 2022

@SecretNetwork 3/ - Their intention to enable privacy across chains makes Cosmos the perfect home for it. Whether it is in DeFi, NFTs, or anything in between, privacy will be essential for mass adoption. Demand will soon spike & Secret’s positioning on Cosmos allows it to capitalize upon it

@ChikoRomain @intocryptoverse UST in the Terra ($LUNA) ecosystem is miles ahead of the rest of the game. Anchor is an incredible service and so is Mirror. Throughout this "bear cycle" this stablecoin has been my best friend. Completely changed my perspective on bear markets

@modestemora546 @ErikVoorhees Liquidity. $USDT was a first-mover and therefore leveraged network effects before competition. Having such deep liquidity across several different chains & DEXs, not to mention CEXs also, it's hard to avoid using USDT as a trading pair. As $UST continues to expand, that'll change

I feel like Osmosis and Stargaze are the gatekeepers of the Cosmos. First you need liquidity to begin your exploration. Then you need a Bad Kid to be considered for admittance into the community. From there it's how you play your cards.

Despite the $AVAX token failing to break $100 in Q1 2022, tho reaching an ATH of $135 in Q4 2021, the network's growth remains impressive. This is real, sustained adoption. As additional subnets & network upgrades are deployed, this trend appears poised to continue in Qs to come

1/ The first quarter narrative regarding @avalancheavax consisted of continued growth and the stabilization of network usage, financial performance, and network infrastructure. The outcomes were attributed to several key developments.

$ATOM's liquid staking opportunity is immense. 63% of its supply is staked yet a tiny percentage is being utilized in liquid staking. @Neutron_org , @quicksilverzone , etc can change this + proliferate the economy around it. This is poised to be a major growth catalyst for #IBC .

1- Algorithmic stablecoins are a disruptor and disruptors are always met with fierce resistance from the market incumbents who they risk overthrowing. While in moments like these outlook can look bleak, these are trials that many disruptors need to survive into order to succeed

I envision a world where most blockchains are secured by Bitcoin and Ethereum via restaking mechanisms like @eigenlayer . It just makes sense to me as it's highly beneficial to the communities involved. I know there are people out there who disagree tho, tell me why I'm wrong.

@DefiWiz $FTM setting a floor at this range is honestly not the worst thing esp considering the run it has gone on. Accumulating here gives us substantial strength for the next leg up. Not to mention the opportunity it gives us to reload. Patience in crypto is rewarded
