XTZ Beats Everything Again: 3 Reasons WhyTezos (XTZ) broke from the pack yet again today, outperforming most major coins despite today's downturn in the overall markets.
- Fork-less upgrades and on-chain governance models on XTZ provide tangible solutions to a lot of the issues the crypto industry is going through right now, especially in DAOs.
- Recession talks are getting more people into a savings mindset - and Tezos' accessible and competitive rates (4.6%) makes it very appealing for crypto holders to convert to.
- The interest in NFTs from artists and art collectors are starting to migrate over to chains like XTZ ever since gas-fees started to get out of control on the ETH ecosystems - time will tell if the Consensys "Merge" in August will have developers and artists return but for now, Tezos and other layer 2s are taking advantage of the lull and pulling ahead.
Long-term investors look for projects that seem to thrive during the "tough times", and it seems like XTZ is performing exactly right now. It's a project worth paying attention to, either way. 🚀👨🏻🚀🛸
Governance
ENS Airdrop - Ethereum's Big Experiment in Political GovernanceAs of this week, ENS (Ethereum Name Service) tokens have been airdropped to .eth domain holders. The idea was to issue tokens for governance and policies, but the odd thing is that they decided to let it have its own market.
I think the idea behind this decision is to make the connections between politics and money explicit, rather than trying to deny it or separate it. We can see in the real world that politicians lie about this stuff all the time, while their supporters just hold their heads down and pretend it's not going on. Is this system a better one than the ones we have now? We'll find out, I guess.
