Re <<I am looking forward to all the good news out of Casper, and the bad news too of course. if there is any -g->>
Seems to me the only ‘bad news’ would be anything from any regulatory front, which seems unlikely as Casper is Layer #1 and certainly nowhere near monopoly-state. Should any crypto reach monopoly state, the development team long gone and the crypto long autonomous, freely roaming the net looking for kills, and unstoppable. We should like that.
Too early for competitive bad news for Casper, am wagering, unless one is in any of the other could-be Ethereum-killers. Ethereum itself do not really have anything to worry about, yet, as the market arena is way too big, and the time extremely early-dayz.
As to good news, am guessing the Casper community must have lined up the good news like machine canon munition, and in the tat tat tat mode until whenever, into the next coin lockup-release date in Sept 2021, and in March 2022. I hope the news involve big names like IBM and such, as opposed to obscure crypto ventures and niche players, and channels engaged be the likes of WSJ and such, as opposed to fringe crypto press. Let’s see.
The CasperSign is good, because it is branded, but a part of DropBox. Very nicely done.
Perhaps ‘Casper’ has a shot at becoming an adjective, and a verb in good positive and meaningful ways of usage. The Casper-esque protocol that Casper-ed Ethereum, meaning the crippling of Ethereum by challenging and overwhelming with a scalable, secure, decentralized, and open-source protocol during a time of great confusion, involving many layer #1s trying to gain traction against the dominant player even as the dominant player is force-migrating from PoW to PoS.
Another feature of crypto-ing is that big players have no effective chance at buying the startups because metaverse does not allow for buyouts and taking of prisoners. Only competition and slaughtering. No M&A, unless complementary project development teams somehow cooperate for no particularly good reason as they would surely instead aim for the slaughtering route.
There is no particular key-person risk as far as I know, except for the mathematician wizard. Even so, whilst math wizards do not grow on trees, they do grow, and do not need to be customer / investor / regulator presentable because they likely prefer staying in the backroom to do their wizardry on own, to be fed and watered occasionally.
Team is relatively small for very large effort, and easy enough to feed and water, in the meantime.
I tried for Mina. No luck on the ICO round and no edge in early private round. Thanks for reminding me. Might get some, because who can possibly know. When would it be released for open trading? |
