BlackRock and Lloyds buying up residential properties too.

When these in-the-know institutions start parking their money in hard assets you should know something is about to happen.

There will be a digital currency we all use very soon, I am convinced of that, and it may mirror the work done so far. But it wont be an existing coin - it will be something cooked up by world governments.

Central banks are creating their own digital currency, CBDC's (central bank digital currencies).

I realise this is a BitCoin thread but one of the leading companies leading on this and assiting governments is called Quant. They have ties to the Digital Pound as the founder of Quant once worked at the Bank of England. Quant have already confirmed the South American digital dollar with 12 countries currently signed up. Also talk of a digital Euro but lot's of non-disclousure agreements so some speculation at this point.

I'm not invested in Bitcoin but I am in Quant (partly for the reason's mentioned above). Very interesting and exciting future.

Unrelated but for the neighsayers and crypto haters here, why even waste your time posting in this thread? Leave the thread to those that are interested in learning more.

That's QNT right? Weirdly I just heard about it from someone else this morning.

I don't generally buy into the "our team has a former BoE guy or our devs went to Stanford" type chat but seems will have look for sure. Seems to have been doing nothing for a couple of years and recently had a big pump

Yuss QNT - there's much more than just a few employee connections but I didn't want to clog up a forum and make it look like I'm shilling it hehe.

Their overledger tech is an operating system that allows any to any connections, so not only connecting any blockchain to another blockchain but any other type of distributed ledger technology and even old legacy systems.

I read an anology once where they likened it to email or sending a text - imagine if you could only send a text to someone who has the same system as you and how limiting that would be if EE could talk to EE, Vodafone to Vodafone.

Imagine if to send an email, you a friend need to have the same brand of computer, same internet provider, same operating system & the same email program, hardly anyone would be able to speak to eachother.

That's what blockchains are like at the moment. Devs need to choose which chain to build on based on what they might need to pull from other projects within that same ecosystem, Quant's overledger allows any blockchain to speak to any blockchain (+ other DLTs and systems)

So we'd go from only Vodafone being able to send to Vodafone to a new system where we are now where you can use whatever phone, program, ISP, OS you want and everything connects and speaks as it should.

Hope that makes sense as a basic overview. Quant's overledger sits above everything...

IMO it will be a top 5 coin one day. If you're on Twitter, there's a lot of threads that have been posted explaining it in more detail and more in depth than what I can write here.

Forgot to mention - the overledger platform is releasing soon which is why it might be gaining more attention recently. They have a lot of NDA's which are also being annouced so probably all adds to the price push.

It's deffo gone up a lot in the last month but when look at what they are connecting and what can flow through there network, the sky could be the limit imo. Anyone who wants to use their tech to connect to whatever they want to connect to, need to own Quant tokens. It won't require retail investors to drive the price up, the token price will increase through companies buying a licence to use the overledger, which then locks up the equilivant value in Quant tokens and takes them off the market until the licence expires. Feel free to get in touch if you want more info matey

Obvs pumped for some kind of reason recently, although general uptrend in the market anyway. I see it's on some major CEXs already so must have a decent backing.

Ok, will get a bag now lol, celebrate 100 pages of arguing on this thread

Quant seems have totally decoupled from Bitcoin and the rest of the market these days, BTC has been pumping this last week or so with little movement from Quant, whereas when BTC was bearish and moving sideways, Quant was pumping. Eventually this is how the entire market will hopefully be - each project moves independently based on it's own news and tech relases.

I can't remember exact dates but maybe 6 weeks ago Quant was around £50, then it got listed on Coinbase & Binance which opened it up to more people which will have caused a big spike. Another I like which is not yet listed on the big exchanges, which you might also find interesting is AllianceBlock (ALBT), partnered with Quant and trying to build the new financial system by combining the best aspects of defi and traditional finance.

"celebrate 100 pages of arguing on this thread" haha - there's so much fancinating stuff happening with blockchain technology, much more than people who spend their time bashing crypto (yet only know of BTC) will ever understand.

 -

There may be certain cryptos that were created to be used as actual currency, but the majority of tokens exist to secure and run the networks - not to be used as 'new-age internet money' so don't let the name 'currency' fool you guys, there's so much more to it investing in crypto is basically investing in startup companies, it's not all speculative stuff where the price only goes up because more people are investing.

Quant? It's blockchain agnostic, it can move and run on any chain.

I wouldn't agree with decoupling from the market point. Random alts/shitcoins can do whatever on a daily basis, something can 5x in a day whilst BTC is flat and something can have a huge crash whilst BTC pumps. It's just the nature of it. The Coinbase/Binance listing pumps have been around for years, I'm actually surprised they still happen but make sense as it opens up liquidity to the retail market who wouldn't buy it anywhere else. I'd also say going balls deep in alts without holding any BTC/ETH is a bad move. Yes, alts can have ridiculous upward runs but can fall back just as fast. The 2 pillars of the whole industry are volatile enough as it is! (I easily hold 100+ alts btw, I'm not a maxi). But my idea generally is always to accumulate more BTC and ETH for the long term.

Good point on "currencies" though. I think a lot of people get bogged down in crypto must be useless because your average man on the street would never understand it or use it to buy basic day to day goods. There's a lot of factors in play on top of that. Mainly speculative too of course. I'd never pretend I just like crypto for the tech or have such a big interest if I wasn't making money from it (so far). 

I think Micro Strategy just added another $177m to their portfolio, NFTs are going mad (for good or bad reasons), we're at $50k and google searches for "Bitcoin" are at a 9 month low supposedly, how valid a metric that is, I don't know.

Never a dull day in the space and we're barely getting started, next 5-10 years could be quite ridiculous

I don't know all that much about the NFT art space, but it seems pretty crazy! I can understand the scarsity aspect similar to trading cards or pokemon, if you're 1 of only 10,000 people in the world to own that specfic card it'll make people feel special, but long term I think only a handful of those projects will hold value, the original ones like CryptoPunks, I think VISA even bought a CryptoPunk yesterday

I like the ultility aspect of NFT's though. There's a company called GET that use NFT tech to validate the authenticity of concert and event tickets to prevent ticket resellers. Ultra (a gaming company) are using NFT's to do some amazing things that will totally revolutionise the entire gaming industry.

Same here regarding why we're invested in crypto - I do like the tech and I'm interested in it, but if I wasn't making money then I'm sure my interest would dwindle down quite a bit

I used to hold BTC & ETH but sold for Quant. It is no regular alt coin. It provides complete interoperability, assisting with the creation of CBDC's, working with Governments & Central Banks, already regulatory compliant, does not require retail investors to pump the price and total supply of only 14million.

Although my investments would be considered to be 'alt coins' by definition, they have the potential to become some of biggest companies in the world, especially Quant. They are partnered with SIA - which is already the largest financial services tech provider in Europe that connects over 500 banks and almost a billion users.

There's no need for me to spread myself across 100 tokens when it would be impossible to keep up to date on each one with the due diligence that is required. I'm invested in a handful of projects that I believe will drive the entire space forward into mainstream adoption. There's no need for me to diversify further when I understand what I'm holding.
