What do I mean by “Ethereum Is For Entrepreneurs”? In the same way the Internet created a whole new generation of entrepreneurs, Ethereum is an entirely new technological solution for entrepreneurs looking to create communities, brands, and most importantly a lasting impact on the world. Like the Internet, Ethereum is made up of numerous protocols allowing for many interoperable applications to be built on top. But to set the record straight, Ethereum is not competing with the Internet, it will work in tandem. This is what those in the space refer to as Web3. Web3 is a lot bigger than any one public blockchain but at its core it is a permission-less way to transfer value on the Internet without middlemen or intermediaries. On Ethereum, you don’t need to have a bank account, ask a bank to transfer funds, or experience 24-48 hour settlement delays. Ethereum is in fact the next generation financial layer.

Dan Held @danheld
1/ Why Bitcoin may be going through a "Supercycle" This time is different: COVID, Gold 2.0 narrative, institutional herd, and ease of use have set a new stage. Instead of a normal bull/bear cycle, Bitcoin would break convention and enter a “Supercycle” Thread 👇

Earn Opportunity
One of my favorite ways to earn crypto is through BlockFi. It’s like a savings account but for your crypto. US clients can earn up to 6% APY on BTC, 5.25% on ETH, and 8.6% on USDC! To me it’s a no brainer, start stacking so you have plenty of crypto during markets like this. Check out BlockFi using the link below.
