How Crypto will involve itself within the Green Economy, and what I foresee for the future of Crypto within this Economy
Article by: Roy Balfour de Stadler, RBP(SA) | Crypto Analyst
Firstly, I start with,
Gold (Yellow Metal) – Safe Haven in bad times for Investments,
- Bitcoin (BTC) – The Gold of Crypto, recognized as an excellent hedge against inflation, whereby Central Banks are adopting BTC to their Reserve Accounts,
- Platinum (White Gold) – Its use widely used in Military and Computer Hardware Technology,
- Oil (Black Gold) – Every economy of the World relies on Oil to drive their economies,
- Lithium (Green Gold) – Adaptation of the green economy driven from the reliance from oil economy to battery driven power economy,
My observations and what I foresee in the future of how the Crypto Arena will play a vital
role,
I foresee in the very near future, the oil price of Brent Crude will decline due to less demand and less reliance on oil as a commodity, and thus become a competing factor with the green economy via the battery economy, namely through the importance of the Lithium Metal that has great storage power in batteries, and can sustain a long life cycle of discharge and recharging cycles, and it’s a clean energy vital for adaptation to changing climate conditions,
- Countries like UAE, Quatar etc, are slowly driving there economies away from reliance of supply oil as a means of income, and thus concentrating on the Tourism Market to boost their income going forward, due that there will be less demand for oil power versus battery power will increase, where supply and demand will factor prices,
- Due to Crypto becoming daily a more accepted emerging new economy, thus integrating with the Three Phase Economy, which is the “Banks”, “Equity” and “Crypto” via the birth of the Crypto Stable Coin,
- Crypto is and always adopting new currencies to meet new challenges in the ever changing economies via their Block Chain Algorithm dynamics, and Mining Protocols via hard and soft fork capabilities, thus creating alternative coins (Alt Coins), SMC Smart Contract Functionality to enhance Scalability (TPS), Speeds, Accuracy, Security, Escrow SMCs, creating a decentralized nature of excluding the middleman (like the Banks etc), or including the middleman by a centralized nature, including DEFi decentralized finance protocols, and Non Fungible Tokens attaching RWA Real Assets to tokens thus creating asset based Protocols, because Crypto is in competition with the Three Phase Economy,
Explained are possibilities with Lithium Crypto Currency Scenario
A new Crypto Currency is born, which is “Lith” Lithium, this currency price is trading presently at 0.0003715 $cents, a far cry compared to Bitcoin, or Ethereum, but with the competition of Green Economy growing and soaring in the very near future, this price will soar to levels that will astound even the critics, and to get investors involved with the process, a stable coin can be created via a hard fork or soft fork, and this stable coin can be pegged to the commodity price of Lithium, the same as, currently the gold stable coin (XAUT) is pegged to the Gold Commodity Price , and at the same time there is a Oil Stable Coin (ZEDCEX) pegged to Brent Crude Oil Price of Oil, then look at the manufactures of batteries for e.g., Tesla Industries whom offer shares to the public for funding and growing its business can also enter the Crypto Equation by entering the Equity Arena via Crypto Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), i.e. a scenario whereby investors can diversify their investments across all economies, i.e. they are not only restricted to one economy,
Crypto has the solution in numerous ways via the decentralized route,
- Adaptation of the NFT, non-fungible token whereby you can attract investments via a DEFi decentralized finance protocols via lending and borrowing, by applying various erc standards i.e. adaptation of Fractionalised NFTs and Token Bound Accounts TBA to create different asset classes of lending and borrowing, with various advantages attached, (ERC standards – 721, 1155 F-NFT and adopting 404 standard, 6551 TBA)
- Another route of growth in Crypto is Wrapped Versions of the Original Coins for e.g., the original coin is BTC and the Wrapped Version is WBTC, the reasons for Wrapped Versions various from using a coin that has limited use on a specific blockchain (i.e.restriction), so you can adopt the coin as a wrapped version, by swapping your original coin for wrapped version, thus holding the price of that original coin and buying and selling, on a layer 2,3 blockchain, i.e. granting access to use that coin to profit or buy at a loss on a different platform (blockchain), and take advantage of any situation that your original coin could not do on the original blockchain, A whole world of opportunities is available for e.g., DEFi decentralized finance, DEC Exchanges vs CEN Exchanges, availing the use of a SMC Escrow SMC functionality, Advertising your coin at a higher or lower price on a decentralized exchange, and availing the opportunity to profit from a stable coin when it’s in an upswing market, and so many more, this is the beauty of Wrapped Versions, and you can swap it back for original coin to make a profit or gain for a loss etc,
- Wrapped Stable Coins, can also be adopted, whereas you benefit on a 1: 1 (+) scenario, when the pegged currency fluctuates above the 1: 1 ratio, and you earn the profit above the projected stable line, this is only available on a decentralized protocol,
In Conclusion
Theres a whole new dynamics and changes in the economy as we know it, and its forever changing with the advent of Crypto entering the space too, here to stay and grow in the future, and the three phase economies will have to work together to grow with the changes ahead, but knowledge of Crypto is vital, and education of it is essential, in order to adapt to the continuous changes, this is my profession whereby I conduct various Presentations on Crypto Methodologies.
