This year has been quite a ride in all aspects of life. From sad stories to various human contributions and advancements, let us move on together as one, more determined and stronger than ever.
In the context of this article I will jump straight to a brief state of affairs in crypto 2020. Read it here.
2021
I’m looking forward to all the above continuation as well as segments that made progress in 2020 but didn’t get it quite right yet, such as scaling solutions, privacy tech, interoperability, prediction markets, fully on-chain operable investment funds, insurance coverage, multi and meta DAO governance. I remain fully committed and can’t wait to discover the always upcoming and various innovations of our dear crazy crypto space. Happy new year!
I invite you to read the very first update from AUM, a US compliant hedge fund operating fully on blockchain, or simply read a current state analysis of Melon Protocol.
