  • The Future of Ethereum: Use Cases (Part 1)

    In our 4-part series named “The Value of Ether”, we have discussed in detail the framework in which we think it is most appropriate to link value accrual to ETH token holders with the underlying mechanics that operate the Ethereum blockchain. More specifically, we have laid out a case on how increased usage of the network has an impact on supply dynamics and can therefore have a knock-on effect on the value of the Ether token.

  • Bitcoin Valuation by Savings Adoption

    A mid-term approach to price modelling Bitcoin is something entirely new, something never before observed. Because of this, many of the trusted tools in our financial toolkits might simply not do a very good job of modelling its performance, and it’s causing apprehension among analysts who are used to deploying certain modelling tools to make sense of asset pricing.

  • Introducing eoracle - the Ethereum Oracle

    Ethereum and Bitcoin faced challenges that were overcome with a very cautious approach, resulting in an extraordinary case study for global human coordination. Adding real-world data through oracles as another layer on top of it is a very promising next step. However, so far, we have taken this step forward without the same caution that is fundamental to the journey toward a decentralized ecosystem. Perhaps we were too close to the problem, focusing only on the outcome - making data accessible - and not being mindful enough about the process allowing it.
  • Heatwave

    The Bitcoin block reward is forecast to halve on April 20th. This is seen as a bullish catalyst for crypto markets. I agree that it will pump prices in the medium term; however, the price action directly before and after could be negative. The narrative of the halving being positive for crypto prices is well entrenched. When most market participants agree on a certain outcome, the opposite usually occurs. That is why I believe Bitcoin and crypto prices in general will slump around the halving.

  • How to purchase Ethereum GAS in advance

    This topic introduces a method for purchasing gas on Ethereum. Technically it is a fully on-chain Ethereum gas futures market. The volatility of gas prices, primarily driven by network demand fluctuations, significantly obstructs user experience on Ethereum due to unpredictable costs. This solution aims to mitigate that issue.
