Re <<Casper maybe technically better than Ethereum but beta was better than VHS, the best technology doesn’t always win. The Lindy effect bets on Ethereum>> Am currently working to pitch one blockchain sub-project to a prospective USA corporate client as a part of Asia / China expansion in December, and given the back & forth I am convinced even the progressive corporates are just starting to sniff at blockchain, whereas the blockchain people have only a proto-idea on how to market to the corporates, and I also introduced a bunch of blockchain boyz and girlz to another ex-corporate client to (i) streamline operations, (ii) reduce cost, (iii) create a new class of transaction-able financial assets. Given the issues involved, Ethereum cannot handle it, and if tried with Ethereum, a dead-end shall be deadly-ahead. I am getting monthly report from the corporate because of friendship. The corporate is seriously excited as full deployment would enable it to sharply increase throughput, leverage new capital sources, and take out the #1 …3 of the industry stealthy-stealthy. By above proto-exposures I observe that Ethereum vs Casper might not be VHS vs Betamax, but VHS against Blu-Ray, or maybe CD vs streaming. If I am wrong, lesson noted, but if I am correct, transformative dynastic stance results, as long as I manage to hodl. As to China and crypto, there might be a MSM misunderstanding of China and of crypto. China wishes to be leader of blockchain, but will not tolerate bitcoin / private money. Is Casper private money? No. Can it be? Sure. Just like cigarettes and chocolate, nylon and sausages. Or Crypto Iron or Crypto Copper? Is Bitcoin private money? Absolutely, for it has no other use-case other than as Crypto Gold. Ethereum? Arguable. Maybe Crypto Silver or Crypto Palladium? For example, whilst China is determined to root out PoW Bitcoin and PoW Ethereum, and gives no dispensation to Dogecoin trading, China, through BSN businesswire.com’s-BSN-as-a-Blockchain-Partner , has deployed lots (more than in rest of the world) of nodes in China for China. China / Xi Jinping cleared the decks for One Belt One Road and a bunch of other reforms by cracking down hard on corruption, and on cronyism. China / Xi Jinping is clearing the decks for the digital-RMB (even though digital-RMB itself is ‘just’ programmable-money but not decentralized blockchain, and just the go-to on- / off- ramp for China. China wants blockchain for B2B and B2C, but wishes to avoid the worst of the C2C - the RMB 69M NFT photo of a dog and such. How navigation goes time shall tell. But navigation shall happen. China / Xi Jinping is for blockchain scmp.com

Added Casper this day at below 0.125 Expecting raging ramp w/i 60-days should the overarching monetary macro hold together Should be good on this side of Christian Christmas, I reckon, and through to Confucius Lunar New Year Unsure where the Jewish lunar new year falls, but likely within same marked dates Aggregated all my posts about Casper / CSPR here in one spot for use elsewhere In chronological order, starting March 2020 Message 33224070 Message 33231701 Message 33232209 Message 33233721 Message 33235283 Message 33237099 Message 33238479 Message 33240018 Message 33241829 Message 33241980 Message 33242009 Message 33244361 Message 33244700 Message 33251185 Message 33252385 Message 33252444 Message 33252527 Message 33253936 Message 33255452 Message 33256709 Message 33256786 Message 33257845 Message 33259641 Message 33259799 Message 33262477 Message 33262655 Message 33265254 Message 33265333 Message 33270021 Message 33271190 Message 33271325 Message 33274261 Message 33274391 Message 33275503 Message 33276473 Message 33276698 Message 33277319 Message 33277454 Message 33278722 Message 33278804 Message 33280590 Message 33285916 Message 33285996 Message 33286137 Message 33286151 Message 33286175 Message 33286226 Message 33286770 Message 33286774 Message 33286986 Message 33287887 Message 33288165 Message 33288327 Message 33288405 Message 33289704 Message 33293073 Message 33295683 Message 33297820 Message 33301022 Message 33304335 Message 33305218 Message 33305398 Message 33306133 Message 33306246 Message 33310521 Message 33313419 Message 33314199 Message 33314482 Message 33315282 Message 33316239 Message 33316479 Message 33317570 Message 33316239 Message 33317946 Message 33318024 Message 33319061 Message 33320099 Message 33320241 Message 33320254 Message 33322617 Message 33322817 Message 33323663 Message 33325939 Message 33326335 Message 33328939 Message 33330214 Message 33331355 Message 33332140 Message 33333051 Message 33333111 Message 33333390 Message 33339604 Message 33342475 Message 33355561 Message 33369152 Message 33370918 Message 33398538 Message 33401619 Message 33406047 Message 33406410 Message 33407711 Message 33407808 Message 33410500 Message 33411383 Message 33428934 Message 33430203 Message 33439084 Message 33469644 Message 33474017 Message 33474026 Message 33476884 Message 33483784 Message 33487156 Message 33503204 Message 33504988 Message 33505003 Message 33511614 Message 33514656

Re <<Jade ... Casper / CSPR ... Jiefang>> Message 33580941 (1) USA polished diamond market size @ ~US$ 12.8B https://www.statista.com/statistics/894919/global-polished-diamond-demand-value-by-country/ (1-i) China polished diamond market @ ~US$ 3.4B (1-ii) China jade stone market size @ ~US$ 30B investingnews.com (1-iii) Jieyang city market-making accounts for 80% of China medium- / high-end jade market, as a ‘control’ node travelchinaguide.com (1-iv) Think feudalism, the lord’s manor house where stuff happen and chokeholds holds (1-v) In Chinese-speaking normal-verse, jade is much more special than diamond mvorganizing.org (1-vi) The emperor’s stone investingnews.com (1-vii) Jade is special (1-viii) Jade is beautiful christies.com (1-ix) Casper shall help Jieyang to power-grip on jade ever tighter, even as the heretofore not-so-transparent market shall be made to popularise, by way of grading, provenance, chain of custody, etc etc and NFT exchange, just as transitory inflation about to go persistent. (1-x) Inflation, whether transitory or persistent, as long as fiat money inflation, is very good for jade. See Forbes article 2010 forbes.com (1-xi) And the top grade trinket is ‘somewhat’ expensive at (US$ 305,000) lanecrawford.com.hk (1-xii) Bottom line, Casper is a HODL!!! And I have no intention of plucking up the trade by being too clever by half, or any portion. I shall continue to trade BTC and ETH, whether they go up or down, so that I might get more CSPR. (2) The extra interesting inevitability is that as the word of Jieyang gets out to other cities of China that has something similary in nature, other markets shall arise. (2-i) Off the top of head i can make up a make-belief situation: China produces ~80% of each of ~14 flavours of rare earth, and wishes to control its export per trade war imperative; the stuff, given small number of mines and processing nodes, and value to density ratio, can be block-chained, and traded through the traditional supply chain of trading houses all the way to the final users, say General Electric (wind turbines), Apple (iPad screens), Intel (chips), and Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamic, etc etc (F35s, missile guidance systems). (2-ii) A dictate can be decreed that all rare earth traders and buyers MUST use China CBDC (e-CNY) to transact, and anyone caught breaking the rule would henceforth be sanctioned. Check. (2-iii) Team USA would then have to blockchain NVidia, Intel, AMD, etc etc to be on level playing field per national security imperative. (3) Which blockchain? (3-i) SOL, ADA, ETH, HBAR, ... cannot touch the stone to rule all stones. The logic, served cold, shall appear at C-officer tables. (3-ii) Refusing to adopt CSPR would mean getting left behind. (3-iii) Adopting CSPR, then CSPR becomes the standard for corporate / enterprise / government / ... (3-iv) BTC gets replaced by CSPR, and ETH 1.0 migration to 3.0 gets stuck at 2.0 and end-of-story (3-v) USD gets a CSPR workaround (3-vi) Checkmate, game over Would be one conceivable scenario. First mover, really only one game in town: Enterprise Grade Permissioned / permissionless Decentralised Easy development tools / languages Rust and wasm support (and more languages over time) Energy efficient / Proof-of-stake ETH 3.0 / Ethereum CBC Casper specifications / Highway protocol Fast Future-proof Low fees Meta transactions (flexible payment code / contracts that pay for themselves) Modular / Plugability Multi-signature of up to 1K associated accounts No hard-forks Predictable Gas Fees / Gas Futures Private / hybrid / public networks Scalable Secure Upgradeable contracts or immutable contracts Web 3.0
