"Blockchain vs crypto".... Excellent post from Mike Cagney ⬇ #blockchain #tradfi #crypto #mikecagney #figuretechnologies #figuremarkets
I’m tired of tradfi people saying “I’m blockchain, not crypto”. #blockchain doesn’t work without crypto. Often people who say this are referring to permissioned blockchains. Permissioned blockchains are stupid (unless you are using them as training wheels to migrate to a public chain). You are better off with a database (or an immutable database, which exist outside of blockchain). The whole point of blockchain is to displace trust with truth. You can only do that through decentralization. To get decentralization to work, you have to have fault tolerance (ability to discern truth when writing a block). In proof of stake, validators put up a native stake that has value, and risk losing that stake if they are not in consensus when a block is written. To make stake valuable, it needs to yield. Gas fees paid into the chain accrue to those staking. The more gas (and other) fees paid into a chain, the more stakeholders receive for their validation (or delegation) efforts and thus the more valuable the stake. Could stake be stablecoin like USDC? In theory yes, if the stablecoin is native to that L1 chain. But stake also provides governance and potentially other functions that are specific to the L1 chain. So stake comes in the form of that L1’s native utility token (e.g., crypto). In thinking about the value of crypto, it’s the value of the present value of gas (and other) fees paid into the L1 chain, plus governance and any other utility that accrues to it. This has a few implications. First, using Howey as the definition of a security, it requires expectation of profit solely from a third party. But every crypto holder – when staking – is participating in validating (and therefore promoting the decentralization) of the L1 chain. Second, it introduces into question what the value of L2 crypto tokens really are (beyond any specific utility, like rebates on cell minutes, access to artwork, etc.).
Congrats Animoca Brands on the launch of the MOCA token! We are proud to support your innovative team and brands. 📖 Read below for an excellent article explaining MOCA and how tokens “represent a completely new way of owning an asset class that previously lacked an ownership construct.”
Today we celebrate the launch of the MOCA token but for many the utility and purpose of a token is still not well understood. In this article I try to explain how we view tokens (such as The Sandbox SAND token as well for example) as a completely new way of owning an asset class that previously lacked an ownership construct. In general we view them as a novel way to own a piece of the network effect and is why Animoca Brands is so focused on delivering digital property rights through tokenization.

Different countries have different reasons for adopting cryptocurrency, that's why this bull trend is so durable. The top 4 countries here are a great example of the contrast in global crypto adoption. ♦ Crypto as an investment vehicle vs crypto as a safe haven. ♦ Excess capital vs escape from hyperinflation. ♦ Building vs saving. The list could go on......

📣 Animoca Brands, a 1RoundTable Partners (1RT) and 10T Holdings portfolio company is considering a public listing in Hong Kong or the Middle East as early as next year, co-founder and executive chair Yat Siu said. 💠 Hong Kong and the Middle East have emerged as crypto-friendly hubs by developing regulations tailored to crypto companies as part of a broader push to attract tech firms and build out capital markets in those areas. 💠 Hong Kong is one of the few jurisdictions that have created rules specific to digital assets and has issued licenses for trading platforms companies. 💠 Animoca has been laying the groundwork in the Middle East by building out local relationships with NEOM and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) . #animoca #yatsiu #blockchaingaming #web3 #metaverse #hongkong #saudiarabia #riyadh #blockchain #digitalassets #yeuqiyang #theinformation https://lnkd.in/eXX4f9be
