As an avid advocate of Cryptocurrencies, I believe that Cryptocurrencies will one day be an integral part of our daily lives, forming the essential systems & processes making life better for everyone, revolutionising the way we live & interact with one another. It is this vision of a better world & crypto’s limitless potential that inspires me to contribute as much as I can to realise this very ideal.

Nothing else represents this ideal for me as much as NavCoin.

Why?

Putting it simply, NavCoin has a clarity of vision. One that I can place my support behind.

NavCoin aims to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone. Drawing inspiration from “Start with Why” (an absolutely awesome book by simon sinek); Microsoft/Gates had the vision of making computers accessible to everyone while Apple/Steve(s) envisioned a world where the status quo was challenged, seeking out better ways of doing things.

Going back to the origins of Bitcoin, the idea of freedom from the banks, a vision of a decentralised financial system that would be free of authoritarian control. The idea was simple & it appealed to those who wanted to be free of the bank’s control. The design of Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency, be it good or flawed didn’t matter, it stood for something more than just electronic money. Fast forward 10 years, Bitcoin is still alive with others following in its footsteps.

This is where NavCoin comes into the picture, Bitcoin has taken its place in crypto as a form of digital gold. Its design & structure has ensured it is well-suited to its purpose within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. NavCoin, on the other hand, is in the midst of its transformative years & its important that the team & community picks up the mantle of realising the vision of Nav. Being a Proof of stake (PoS) coin & offering optional privacy*(in the midst of review), with 30s block times & high tps, the design of the crypto ensures its capability for large scale application (I think the online marketplace idea in sakdeniz proposal for the NEXT wallet is extremely essential as a pilot project for a large scale market utilising NavCoin, kudos to sakdeniz for the proposal) [*to note, I believe Nav’s direction is towards spreading crypto and not being a direct competitor to Monero, we are working towards a similar world of crypto from different fronts] With all this said, I recently heard a very frank statement on the subject of revolutionary developments, that for the world to accept & implement such technologies, the new tech has to be way better than what is readily available. Not just slightly better or better, it has to be way better.

How do we get there? Thats for all of us to figure out together one step at a time, one NavCoin (Vale) release at a time.

As I close this short essay, lets move from “Simplifying Crypto” to doing something for people. Making a Crypto for people. When we invest in making Nav for the better of others, the others will stand behind Nav & we will change the world for the better together.
