SecretSwap is LIVE on Mainnet!
Secret DeFi is here. Now you can trade secret tokens with front-running resistance, improved privacy protections, and low cost. Start using SecretSwap now!

Secret tokens are fungible tokens native to Secret Network that are private by default,
they can represent any native or off-chain asset including Ethereum assets, thanks to our Secret Ethereum Bridge
On Secret Network, all users benefit from privacy network effects - the more usage there is of Secret Apps, the more security users gain.

SecretSwap allows users to trade any secret token for any other. It works like Uniswap or SushiSwap, but with lower costs and higher user security.

https://scrt.network/blog/secretswap-is-live-on-mainnet

 the advantage of SecretSwap lies in secret contracts and the SNIP-20 token standard.

Secret contracts allow encrypted data to be used without revealing it on a public blockchain, or even to nodes themselves.

“We have $50 million in Ethereum assets already locked as secret tokens on our network,”

They have not left crypto, they panic sold when their fiat value dropped...
Observing now from the sidelines, sitting in stablecoins...hoping we keep going down and they might get more coins..
But we are now at the situation of low supply and high demand...and it gets worse as the price drops..
Weak hands will fomo buy back in and lose alot of their crypto....

Hey long time, hope your doing well.

If btc is your thing to invest in, i wish you the best but its not for me.
Ive been hitting ATH after ATH on so many coins for the past year, if i had invested in bitcoin id be worse off.

20x ZIL, 10x ANKR, 25x ELGD over 100x AVAX, and much more, check my post history and u can see the prices i bought these coins for.

I prefer keeping my money smart and buying undervalued assets and BCH right now is one of them.


Good luck to any coin you choose to invest in, we are all experienced enough now to decide ourselves on where we put our money.
We are all in this together. 

Yea agree it is a pretty cool gif.

A storm is coming ...you have been warned

Blockfolio  which will be powered by FTX's trading systems
 https://cryptobriefing.com/ftx-bets-solana-ethereum-decentralized-exchange/

FTX Bets on Solana, Not Ethereum, for Its New Decentralized Exchange
Jul. 27, 2020
Solana aims to capture market share in DeFi as Ethereum's high transaction fees hinder new users.

Blockfolio will put the firm up against a long list of players that offer crypto trading, such as Coinbase and Robinhood.
Blockfolio also has the benefit of having an established, loyal user base of more than 6 million.

In some instances, the increase in retail activity has caused some platforms to buckle under the pressure. On Wednesday, Robinhood's crypto platform reported issues, as previously reported by The Block. Earlier this month,
 Coinbase said it would overhaul its own infrastructure after an outage that affected its retail userbase. <-- CB upgrading to SOL!

Blockfolio says that offering a "clean user experience" will be a focus of the new function.
FTX — which will offer some of its products through the Blockfolio app — has been working to capitalize on that fervor through the listings of various tokenized stocks as well as pre-IPO futures contracts in firms like Coinbase and Airbnb. 
Indeed, the firm said it would offer to its international Blockfolio users trading in three stocks that Robinhood has paused buys on: GameStop, AMC, and Nokia.


ALL POWERED BY Solana SOL

This is a daily thing in crypto aswell...exchanges sell our coins and suppress the coins we hodl....
Get your coins off exchanges asap..especially if the coins are stakable because the exchanges are also earning your stake while shorting the price of your investments.

Time to show all these exchanges they will lose if they continue to use our funds against us.

My prediction for SOL....


The whole market is currently sitting at around $1.2trillion and so much new $ are being printed...
and things like the banks joining crypto...Coinbase on stock exchange....we only going up.
With SOL being an integral part of Circle,USDC,Coinbase
Within a year....
SOL should be a top 5 coin...
Market cap of around $150 Billion...
Around $600-$800 or higher for each SOL.

Great to see AVAX up there , with its team and tech, it can only keep growing.

Remember DCA on the Blockchain 3.0 coins...they serve a purpose, they work, they scale..they have use cases.

Just because btc was pumped,dumped and prob will be pumped dumped again and again,should not mean you panic sell the B3 coins.

DCA and hodl, do not fear the dumps.

With AVAX flying ...is this the beginning of the boom for Blockchain 3.0?....

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bobhaber/2020/03/16/the-fed-fires-the-big-one/?sh=c2133cb6aa8b

With Banks now allowed to print stablecoins...they will replace the role of Tether...
The entire crypto market is going into the 10 Trillion $ range.

I think USDC will become the #1 coin because they will print Trillions of them...
Also Banks will be hosting nodes and staking on the B3 coins..

The crypto platforms that help USDC become the most functional will benefit the most.

Another huge reason the Blockchain 3.0 coins are going to be game changing...

Worldwide Microtransaction payments.

 The Solana network has several powerful tools, including Wormhole, a secure, decentralized bridge connecting Ethereum to Solana.
 Circle is excited to support Solana and its developer ecosystem across our full suite of payments and treasury infrastructure built around USDC.

With the Circle Account, customers around the world can connect bank accounts and mint, redeem, store, send and receive Solana USDC.

Companies, projects and developers building with Solana can also leverage Circle’s powerful suite of API Services
 to build treasury, commerce and payments applications leveraging the Solana blockchain and USDC.
Circle API Services enable companies to collect payments from cards, wires and ACH bank transfers that settle in USDC,
manage account infrastructure and securely custody USDC for customers, and automate on-chain transactions.

liquidity is the key to Bitcoin and Ethereums high mcaps.
Big money needs to be able to move around easily and for that good liquidity is required.

With USDT printing most of the stablecoin volume last year they added most of the USDT to BTC & ETH making it easier for big players to move around.

Now with the new OCC ruling that Banks can host nodes and issue USDC, they will add mega liquidity to the markets.
They will provide most of the liquidity to the Blockchain nodes that they are using such as ALGO & SOL.
ALGO and SOL will have so much liquidity that will make it easier for the big money to get in and out.
High liquidity = high mcap
 
USDC printing will outstrip USDT this year and more as the years pass.



Hope you guys are stocking up as much as you can.

Algorand provides a stable and fast blockchain that is purpose built for enterprise type applications that Mentat’s clients are planning to deploy on established software platforms like SAP.

Mentat has chosen Algorand as their preferred blockchain platform due to the global scale, speed and security enabled by the Algorand protocol and by the flexibility provided by Algorand Smart Contract (ASC1) and Algorand Standard Asset functionality. The combination of scale and flexibility is critical in supporting Enterprise adoption across a very wide range of use cases.

Another 3.0 Blockchain to keep an eye is SOL Solana.

Solana offers over 50,000 TPS, which Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire told CoinDesk helps USDC function “at scale and in a highly performant condition.”
https://www.circle.com/blog/circle-solana-partner-to-bring-usdc-to-solana-blockchain

USDC announced a partnership with FTX; Serum, the exchange’s decentralized trading platform built on Solana


USDC is live on ETH,ALGO,XLM all three are Coinbase listed and now SOL has USDC live.
SOL is the only blockchain with USDC that has not been listed on Coinbase...yet.
I believe SOL will be listed on Coinbase soon, its already on Coinbase Custody.

Credit card giant Visa today announced it is connecting its global payments network of 60 million merchants to the U.S. Dollar Coin (USDC) developed by Circle Internet Financial on the ethereum blockchain.

After Circle itself graduates from Visa’s Fast Track program, likely sometime next year, Visa will issue a credit card that lets businesses send and receive USDC payments directly from any business using the card. 



Whats even more interesting is that USDC is now live on ALGO & SOL, both are magnitudes faster and cheaper for USDC than the ETH chain.
Visa needs scalable,fast ,low cost blockchains to allow its users transact in USDC.


BUY ALGO & SOL

Voyager's support for USDC and Algorand Standard Assets (ASA) will seamlessly enable users to avail of the transaction speed and guaranteed finality of the Algorand protocol, with full integration on the Voyager platform.
 Voyager will develop USDC payment rails on the Algorand protocol, such that consumers will have the ability to buy, hold, trade, and self-custody their USDC, ALGO, and Alogrand Standard Assets on Voyager.
The Algorand Protocol will make USDC transactions more efficient and less costly for consumers, as well as bring interest-bearing benefits to customers. Going forward, this development will facilitate future ASA tokens to be bought, sold, or transferred through the Voyager platform.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/haileylennon/2021/01/04/occ-regulator-implements-groundbreaking-cryptocurrency-guidance-for-banks-and-the-future-of-payments

Today the OCC published Interpretive Letter 1174, which explains banks may use new technologies, including independent node verification networks (INVNs) and stablecoins, to perform bank-permissible functions, such as payment activities. Said simply, a bank may use stablecoins (cryptocurrencies designed to minimize the price volatility) to facilitate payment transactions for customers.

In doing so, a bank may issue stablecoins, exchange stablecoins for fiat currency, as well as validate, store, and record payments transactions by serving as a node on a blockchain (INVN)


Banks will issue USDC and have nodes on the blockchains that host USDC....
Which Blockchains have the scalable,low cost, high speed that the banks will use? 

Well if you have been following this thread then you already know

100x or more will happen on the Blockchains that banks and Visa will be using for USDC.

What is Maps.me?
Maps.me is a mapping application that users can access offline. It functions almost similarly with Google Maps, only that Maps.me can work without internet access. Across the world, the platform has recorded over 140 million users utilizing it for their travel needs, as well as an aid for directions.

Maps 2.0 introduces new financial products and services on the platform. Through this upgrade, users can finally store assets, perform currency exchange, transfer money, and make payments digitally. One of its biggest additions includes the integration of DeFi on Maps 2.0.

Maps is a travel and navigation application that allows users to access maps both online and offline. Lately, Maps has introduced new digital finance features built on the Solana blockchain. With a remarkable user base actively using the platform, it can become a springboard for greater DeFi adoption.

https://www.algorand.com/resources/blog/usoccs-recent-breakthrough-announcement

This week the largest regulating body of banks in the US, The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC, @USOCC), issued forward looking interpretive guidance that clearly states US Banks may participate in node technology such as Algorand's, as well as use the technology’s related stablecoins, to create the necessary settlement infrastructure of the future—one that is secure, fast, and final.

This is an important step in opening the door for advances in global payments by recognizing that the current outdated legacy system should evolve to a network that is more efficient, modern, trustworthy and readily available. We believe this is a significant early indicator in how legacy infrastructures will evolve and eventually lead to our economies being powered by blockchain technology designed to facilitate the trusted exchange of economic value. In particular, as banks participate in blockchain-enabled ecosystems, users will be able to settle payments faster, at scale, with lower fees, and with greater accountability and transparency. Banks will be able to streamline financial transactions and offer consumers and businesses the instant transaction finality and compliance needed to advance and build inclusion in economies around the world.  

Many of these transactions will be enabled by stablecoins, a form of programmable digital money. As an example, Algorand is one of the first blockchains with a stablecoin implementation powered by Circle’s USDC. Circle's platform has supported over 100 million transactions, worth tens of billions of dollars, with nearly 10 million retail customers, and over a thousand businesses. Circle has also stored and secured more than $5 billion in digital currency assets. In addition to USDC, Algorand has a wide range of supported stablecoins that includes licensed e-money in Euros, British pounds, and Icelandic krona (all from Monerium), Stablecorp’s QCAD (first fully-compliant Canadian-dollar stablecoin), USDT from Tether (the most widely traded stablecoin), Meld Gold (a gold-backed stablecoin), and more.


Algorand was designed specifically for this opportunity with Layer-1 core primitives that include the global scale, speed, security, finality, and advanced tools (such as Smart Contracts) required for a modern financial system. These capabilities allow developers to program sophisticated payment applications that can support billions of users in a truly secure and scalable manner.

Just as i have been saying

https://aithority.com/technology/blockchain/stablecorp-launches-qcad-stablecoin-on-algorand-blockchain/

QCAD is the first fully-compliant, mass market CAD stablecoin and is currently supported by over 22 different ecosystem partners, including exchanges, custodians, payment providers, DEXs and more. Having originally launched QCAD on Ethereum, Stablecorp’s new implementation on Algorand opens up the possibility for more mainstream use cases that require higher-throughout and faster transaction speeds.


Algorand is uniquely designed to enable global scale, speed and security, which makes it an optimal platform for a high volume stablecoin. The Algorand blockchain’s Permissionless, Pure Proof of Stake algorithm not only facilitates the scale needed for a high transaction volume stablecoin but also delivers the guaranteed transaction finality that builds a high level of confidence for all parties involved in those transactions.

So why is this important?

Algorand comprehensive smart contract capabilities enable the creation of DeFi solutions and dApps that can scale to billions of users, tens of millions of daily transactions, with negligible transaction fees. Developers can find all the resources they need to turn their ideas into full-scale applications on the Algorand Developer Portal.

What does Monerium offer?

Businesses and consumers need a proven form of authorized money, not a stablecoin that looks like money. Monerium EMI is an electronic money institution, a European regulated entity that is licensed to operate in the European Economic Area and the UK, altogether 31 countries with $20T GDP. We create an unique bank account number for your Algorand blockchain address and automatically issue the e-money ASA to your wallet. You can then send and receive money directly between your wallet and bank accounts.
