🌍 Reflecting on #Bitcoin's evolving role: In January 2024, we hosted a pivotal panel discussion that remains highly relevant as we approach the highly anticipated #BitcoinHalving on Friday this week. The session around Bitcoin’s role in a maturing industry and climate-conscious world, brought together industry leaders to delve into Bitcoin’s environmental impact and its future in a sustainability-focused economy. 🎙 Fred Thiel, Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) 🎙 Kerri Langlais, TeraWulf 🎙 Muneeb Ali, Stacks 🎙 Moderated by Bill Tai of ACTAI Global The conversation centered on the critical issues of crypto’s carbon footprint, particularly highlighting the concerns around mining and the energy consumption of consensus mechanisms. As we edge closer to the Bitcoin halving, questions intensify about its implications for Bitcoin’s network security, miner economics, and overall energy consumption. Watch the full panel below 👇

🌍 Democratizing Investment with Real World Assets (RWA) Tokenization The tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs)—ranging from real estate to fine art—is transforming the financial landscape. This innovative approach is not just a trend; I think it's a gateway to inclusivity in the investment world. Here’s how RWAs are opening up the market: Accessibility: By breaking down costly investments into smaller tokens, RWAs make it possible for more people to invest in high-value assets. Liquidity: Tokenized assets can be traded much like stocks, offering real-time value adjustments and easier entry or exit strategies. Reduced Costs: Blockchain technology cuts out many traditional intermediaries, lowering transaction costs and making investments more profitable. Transparency and Trust: Immutable records on a blockchain enhance the reliability and integrity of transactions. Global Participation: Anyone with internet access can invest in assets worldwide, overcoming geographical and economic barriers. Empowerment: RWAs provide a tangible way for underserved populations to build wealth and participate in economic opportunities traditionally beyond reach. Let’s embrace this shift towards a more inclusive financial ecosystem. What are your thoughts on the future of RWA tokenization? What are some negative aspects of the sector? #Crypto #Blockchain #Investment #FinancialInclusion #DigitalAssets

READ AND DIGEST THE WRITE UP BELOW 👇👇👇 HI FELLOW SPARTANS, I LOOKED THROUGH THE TOKENOMICS OF THE AAS TOKEN FROM THE WHITEPAPER, AND WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME KEY POINTS: 1. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TOKENS WILL BE 10,000,000,000 (10BIL). THE IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT WILL BE "PRINTED"/"MINTED" SO TO SAY. 2. OF THE 10 BILLION TOKENS, ONLY 5 BILLION OR 50% WILL BE IN SUPPLY. 3. OF THE 50% IN SUPPLY, ONLY 25% (2.5 BILLION) WILL BE PART OF THE INITIAL SUPPLY. THE 2.5 BILLION TOKENS COULD BE ALL PART OF THE PRESALE OR COULD BE ONLY A PORTION OF THE PRESALE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL BE INFORMED ON WHEN THE CEO UPDATES US. 4. THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE 25% (2.5BIL TOKENS) MAKING UP THE 50% (5 BILLION) TOTAL SUPPLY WILL BE SPLIT UP INTO TWO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES: A. 12.5% FOR LIQUIDITY PROVISION: 1,250,000,000. THIS IS VERY CRUCIAL TO THE SUCCESS AND TRADABILITY OF THE TOKEN ACROSS SEVERAL EXCHANGES. LIQUIDITY ALLOWS FOR PURCHASE FULFILLMENT AND ENCOURAGES MORE EXCHANGES TO LIST THE AAS TOKEN AS THEY KNOW THEY CAN FULFILL MARKET PURCHASES, STRESS FREE. B. 12.5% FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & SPECIAL PROJECTS: 1,250,000,000. THIS COULD BE UTILISED FOR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS THAT AAS MAY INITIATE LIKE THE FEEDING PROGRAM, SCHOLARSHIPS, GADGET SUPPLIES, ETC AS MENTIONED IN ROADMAP. IT COULD ALSO SERVE THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH BIG CORPORATIONS LIKE AIRLINES, TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS ETC THAT THE CEO HAS MENTIONED. THIS WOULD PROVIDE A SIMILAR SERVICE TO "INTERNAL LIQUIDITY" FOR THOSE STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS. 5. 15% FOR AFRIQ ARBITRAGE SYSTEM TEAM: 1,500,000,000. THIS IS MOST LIKELY FOR THE DEV TEAM, AAS FINANCIAL BACKERS, AND OTHERS TO BE PREDETERMINED BY THE CEO ON WHO CONSTITUTE "AAS TEAM". THIS IS IMPORTANT AS AN INTERNAL REWARD MECHANISM FOR AAS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE COULD BE RULES/RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE THAT THE CEO CAN APPLY REGARDING WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO HOLD THESE PARTICULAR TOKENS, IF AND WHEN THESE TOKENS CAN ENTER CIRCULATION, OR EVEN BE USED FOR BURN MECHANISMS. 6. 10% FOR MARKETING & OPERATIONS COST: 1,000,000,000. AS THE NAME IMPLIES, THIS CAN BE WIDE RANGING USE FROM PAYING SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS WITH THE TOKEN, TRADITIONAL MARKETING AND OPERATIONS COST. SOME OF THESE COSTS COULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE SECURITY UPDATES/UPGRADES, COMPLIANCE PROCESSES, SERVER COSTS ETC. 7. ALL OF THE ABOVE, ACCOUNT FOR 75% OF THE 10BIL TOKENS. THE REMAINING 25% WILL BE LOCKED FOR RESERVE PURPOSES. 8. 25% FOR LOCKED RESERVE: 2,500,000,000. LIQUIDITY LOCKING IS A PRACTICE IN DECENTRALIZED FINANCE (DEFI), WHERE PROJECT DEVELOPERS LOCK A PORTION OF THEIR LIQUIDITY POOL TOKENS IN A SMART CONTRACT FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD. THIS PRACTICE HELPS INCREASE INVESTOR CONFIDENCE AND PREVENTS RUG PULLS, TECHNOLOGY BLOCKCHAIN 1.65%DAYLI #crypto #cryptotokens #coinmarketcap #cryptotrading #CryptoCommunity 👇👇👇 Join https://lnkd.in/e2h6FZKh

KYAX: web3 Financial Data Reporting Tool was at CoinDesk #consensus2024 to talk about Regulation, Reconciliation & Financial Reporting along with Robert F. Kennedy, Catherine Wood of ARK Investment Management LLC, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), Chairman, United States Senate Committee on Finance. The U.S. seems to be waking up, with a significant number of stalls, people and cautious optimism about the post-election environment. Top 5 Takeaways: ⚠Regulation Although the conversation was U.S. focused, there was a full recognition that EMEA and APAC had stolen the lead on policy, with many leaders reassuring themselves that a fast follower position, avoiding the challenges of MiCA will allow them to craft a separate, “Better” regulatory framework. ⬆ Are we back? Cautious optimism threaded conversations, with many looking at the ETH ETF as another shot of liquid adrenaline to the industry.  A definitely maybe, 8/10 we are back.  ⚱ The ETH ETF: The Beginning of the End? With a critical mass of ETH, lumped and unstaked, the price of Ethereum is ultimately tied to the usefulness and functionality of the Ethereum network. If Ethereum continues to struggle with scalability issues, high transaction fees, or security vulnerabilities, it could deter builders from building on it and force projects and utility to bridge away from it, causing an uncoupling of price and utility.  ⚪ New Coins There were the usual new and old Meme coins in attendance, but also, some legitimate tokenization discussions around AI and leveraging assets coming under the spell of this new asset format, with LAKE (LAK3) being among the most promising.  🏈 U.S. Focus The segregation of the U.S. market from the global conversation is a real threat to U.S. business leadership, with the foreign participants focusing on VC conversations rather than any market based expansion interest.
