so many people are going to change their lives for the better because of the inevitable success of the Chia blockchain as the superior custody, security, and execution layer for deeply liquid and globally traded enhanced-tokenized-securities. it’s “so many” and .. yet.. unfortunately, virtually nobody around the globe is aware of the opportunity relatively speaking. this is a friend of mine who served in the army multiple tours deployed into combat missions beginning while he was 18 fresh out of squeaking thru high school graduation. this is about $300 he could’ve blown on blackjack and cheap drinks for a single night. but he’d rather start stacking coins, unbothered by the fact others are probably buying more, or have more already. the journey of one thousands miles begins with the first step. the journey to 1,000 xch begins with the first mojos!

It is not possible for companies to be ‘friends’ with other companies. A company is a legal entity, not a natural person. Legal entities cannot make friends. Management can be friends with the management of other companies, to the extent it doesn’t interfere with their fiduciary duty to their shareholders. I know this is a little depressing, but please remember this is business and not the playground.

Prediction: Starknet will be a major player in whatever crypto landscape we’ll see in the future. Crypto unlocks something powerful: open global networks, near-zero barriers to entry, markets that run 24/7. Any entrepreneur and any builder can realize their vision, any end-user can participate. There are no gatekeepers. But mass adoption isn’t here yet. Blockchains may be this compelling idea, but they’re missing a few critical elements: privacy, better security guardrails, post-quantum security, good and safe UX, simple onboarding and navigation in this world, and quite frankly PMF. These features require a unique architecture, one that is flexible, unlimited in the features it can support, and built to evolve when needed. Crypto needs future-proofed foundations. Now, this kind of architecture that provides all of the things I mentioned (privacy, security, post-quantum security, simple onboarding, simplified UI, unlimited support for novel features, flexible upgradability, etc.) is rare and hard to build, and even harder to run in production. And yet, this is exactly what Starknet delivers: battle-tested and secure cryptography, privacy, good UX, scale, cheap cost, and an architecture that doesn't lock itself into today’s constraints. Starknet is built to adapt to tomorrow’s needs. Whatever version of crypto we’ll see in the future, this is exactly the kind of tech that will power it, and Starknet is the one delivering this tech today. Crypto cannot go mainstream without these properties. Starknet has been setting the standard when it comes to ZK, STARKs, zkVM, native account abstraction (AA), and more. Starknet, like crypto, still needs to improve adoption, and crypto, like Starknet, will owe its adoption to the kind of technology that Starknet offers. So I have a strong conviction that crypto will reach mass adoption, and a strong conviction that the technology to lead to that is the one that Starknet offers. Hence, my prediction that Starknet will be a major player in whatever crypto landscape we’ll see in the future.
