Coinstack - For Smart Crypto Investors - Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi & The Future of Money

In this episode, we deep dive into what makes Terra so unique by looking into its founders, tokenomics, and the DeFi applications we recommend worth looking at on the protocol.

In this episode, we deep dive into what makes Avalanche so unique by looking into its core elements, subnet capabilities, and the DeFi applications we recommend worth looking at on the protocol.

This week we talk about the rapid rise of Avalanche into the fastest-growing major blockchain in DeFi. We also highlight the most important news and highlights from the top reports in our industry, as Bitcoin passes $54k and ETH passes $3600.

In this podcast explain we why Decentralized Finance, or DeFi, is making the old financial system more efficient and secure through code -- while reducing costs and expanding access. We also talk about Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Terra, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Waves, Huobi Eco Chain, Celo, Arbitrum, and Bitcoin.

DeFi uses blockchains, smart contracts, price oracles, AMMs, and open source code to allocate and store capital more efficiently and securely than traditional markets. Instead of needing to trust a large institution, decentralized blockchains, validated by thousands of distributed node operators, offer better security and speed than the legacy system, with much of its legal structuring dating back to the 1930s and 1940s and much of its code written in the 1970s and 1980s.

Legacy markets are centralized, opaque, and are open less than 35 hours per week. Blockchain-based markets are available continuously, trade 24/7/365, are transparent and interoperable, and their contracts are smart -- built with code instead of words. Filing cabinets and terabytes of Docusign repositories are being replaced by Github, the world’s open-source code repository.

Even governments are getting on board with China, Europe, the USA, the UK, Nigeria, and many others actively launching blockchain-based Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). Welcome to the era of programmable money.

The top crypto news, reports, stats of the week and give our latest crypto forecast. A macro, mid-macro, and short term forecast for the crypto market as well as a deep dive on a few reports by The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and a new report by Chainalysis showing Europe becoming the largest crypto economy with over $1T In transactions in DeFi.

The top crypto news, reports, stats of the week and give our latest crypto forecast. The selloff in equities from China’s Evergrande crisis took the crypto market down with it temporarily, testing floor prices for BTC ($40k) and ETH ($3k), which have since rebounded. Once September options contracts expire on Friday, we are expecting a nice rebound into October. Based on on-chain analytics, TVL trends in DeFi, and the amount of capital coming into the space from institutional investors, crypto markets appear headed toward new all-time highs. We expect to see new all-time highs this Fall for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. While things could always change, we expect to see $80k+ BTC and $6k+ ETH by the end of 2021.

In this episode, we take an in-depth look at the recent blackout, tech, team, and values of the Solana protocol and its Dapp ecosystem.

The top crypto news, reports, and stats of the week. We also cover our latest crypto forecast with the next 100 days to be exceptionally active. Based on on-chain analytics and the amount of capital coming into the space from institutional investors, crypto markets appear headed toward a double market peak as we first predicted July 5. We expect to see new all-time highs in October or November for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. While things could always change, we expect to see $80k+ BTC and $6k+ ETH by the end of 2021.
