If you had to bet your entire life savings on Crypto succeeding or not, what would your choice be?

To be honest with you, as much as I’m convinced blockchains are the future of several industries, we are much closer to failing than to succeeding, at least from a risk management perspective.

We have the neverending risk of extremely hawkish regulation, the distrust of the majority of society that doesn’t believe in our vision, and the continuous surge of scams that destroy the financial well-being of many.

It isn’t pretty.

However, one new trend has been brewing for some time that, finally, seems ripe enough to bring insane growth and opportunities to Crypto.

Its name, DePIN.

Its mission, the decentralization of the Internet.

Blockchains and the proliferation of economies

My vision of blockchains may come as oxymoronic at first.

While I’m a firm believer of the uber-powerful features that make it the supreme solution in many cases, I do also feel their capacities are overstated by many — and understated by many more others.
