Know Crypto: Build Tomorrow

04.14.21

We know, we’re terrible, but we have completely fallen down the rabbit hole of crypto. No more excuses, back next week with technē & Ἥφαιστος, we promise.

We are big proponents of cryptos here and as we love to share what we have learned in our journey into the blockchain multiverse, we are now going to do even more of it. But, we are doing it the BCB Cyber way: simplifying and visualizing.

Know Crypto… Build Tomorrow

Each glimpse we take into cryptocurrencies, we offer a clear look into a unique blockchain topic (for example total market cap). More specifically, we look into the crypto-sphere and pull it back into a plain, easy-to-understand visual matrix. This way, we can help the masses to wrap our collective heads around a potentially perplexing and problematic proposition. So today we turn to a simple topic, how we can each build tomorrow!

We all have heard of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin, basically the supreme store of value (overdone, but think digital gold), and Ethereum, the place for the next generation of digital transactions and smart contracts right? All over the news. They are definitely our base, as shown in the illustration above. But what lies beyond?

What we may not know is the ever-growing, decentralized world of opportunity around these two gems of the crypto multi-verse. Teams of brilliant people are working the world over to develop blockchain elements, features, and tools that incorporate these disruptive technologies into all aspects of our defi-lives and beyond.

As a way of introducing them, we submit three in particular that can literally, help to build the world of tomorrow and therefore fulfill the true promise of crypto and blockchain. While there are many different projects ongoing in this space, three stand out to us as a real means of building a better tomorrow: Polygon, Helium, and Energi.

And now for the introductions:

Helium: Building the Network for IoT

By building a network created by individual people, or more specifically the locations we inhabit, we can build a “community of connectivity” for all our individual smart devices. Individually installed hotspots will not only offer the chance for our devices to work to their fullest, all the while conveying the means to a whole new host of people to develop their personal finances with a little investment. Each one of us has the chance to contribute to building the connected world of tomorrow through IoT (Internet of Things, you know all those smart devices we buy that are monitoring our environment) and enhance our well-being at the same time.

Thanks Helium

Polygon: Maximizing Access

Where Helium gave the individual the opportunity to contribute to the capability of tomorrow’s networks, Polygon (formerly Matic) seeks to make sure we all have a minimal barrier to access by means of super-low fees and, in addition, a more ambitious goal to be sure – creating the internet of blockchains!

Thanks Polgyon formerly Matic Network

Energi – “The Ultimate Feedback Loop… A Living, Breathing Organization”

Beyond the development of features of blockchains, self-sustaining, self-reinforcing blockchains are the ultimate future, tomorrow and beyond, for decentralized finance. We are now to the point of building “living” digital systems and we have the opportunity, as individuals, to help build those new life forms and be a part of the future of humanity to a whole new level. Could we even go so far as to say this could form the next evolutionary step in the global, socio-economic order?!?!? Perhaps… it’s up to each one of us to decide!

Thanks Energi

Again, not sponsored by any of the above, but we do think they’ve got something to offer and wanted to share.

If you are intrigued and want to jump in and try for yourself, consider using our link for Coinbase, we’ll each get $10 in free Bitcoin when you sign up and deposit your first $100. Remember though, we need to all do our own homework and decide for ourselves.

While Helium and Energi are not quite yet available for trade on the site (Coinbase), Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polygon (formerly Matic) all are. And for those who really want to go down the rabbit hole alongside us at BCB Cyber, buying Bitcoin and/or Ethereum on Coinbase can be used to transfer to other exchanges where we can buy the other two! But, that’s a story for another day.

See you next time on BCB Cyber!
