The cryptocurrency industry has entered a deep bear period, but good projects are still thriving I stayed in New York for a week and talked to many project partners and friends in the industry. Everyone generally has confidence in the market. It's strange, it seems completely different from what it looks like on social media, but perhaps this is the true meaning of Buidl. As far as I know, projects that truly work have accumulated a pile of benefits waiting to be slowly released, and opportunities may be right in the present moment. Let's dive in! ⬇️ The information in the cryptocurrency circle is now truly fragmented, and the market and heat surrounding prices are gradually shrinking. When there is no super foam wealth effect, attention will naturally turn to a better place to make money, so AI, stocks and even the watch market have become the hearts of currency circle refugees. On the other hand, projects that use blockchain technology to change the global financial and trade systems are conquering cities and growing wildly in unseen places. I received a push from Hermes TG bot this morning, marking TWIN's one-year anniversary. Old friends know that I have been tracking the old project @ IOTA, and TWIN is the actual implementation application of the IOTA ecological vision, full name is Trade Worldwide Information Network. Just like the financial clearing system built by VISA/Mastercard, TWIN is also a set of neutral digital infrastructure for global trade, which allows all trade related parties to exchange data, files, and assets in the same trusted network. Isn't there a lot of trade software available? What's special about TWIN? In fact, this is the real application of blockchain, TWIN fills the gap of decentralized trusted networks, which makes trade no longer rely on single entity control, and also puts trust into practice using a code neutral model. Since its launch in May last year, TWIN has successfully implemented the Kenya UK export pilot, UK border pilot, and Africa Digital Public Infrastructure ADAPT. For example, the export trade from Kenya to the UK involves a large amount of paper documents. Previously, sea freight took 3 weeks and air freight took 8 hours, but with TWIN, it only takes 5 minutes. Normally, even the simplest cross-border trade order requires interaction with over 30 related parties, 36 documents, and 240 paper copies. TWIN has brought significant improvements in terms of security, trustworthiness, and efficiency. Jen, the head of the Global Trade and Supply Chain Department at the IOTA Foundation, recently had an interview. If you are interested in this, I strongly recommend taking a look. Jen is a seasoned trader and very experienced. Lost a link: https://www. (techflowpost.com)/article/18049 / I've been really busy lately, and even in a bull market, I haven't been as busy. I've been exposed to a lot of projects like IOTA, and they're also practicing blockchain applications during bear markets. On the other hand, for some Hype projects, in a bear market, most of them don't even update their Twitter accounts, or ride on some hype, post memes, or engage in useless social media collaborations... they are just waiting for an opportunity to make another cut. If you still believe in the future of blockchain or the cryptocurrency industry, what kind of projects would you choose to track? Is it IOTA or those projects that are just for the purpose of sending a coin to pull and smash the market? Perhaps everyone has their own answer, without any superiority or inferiority, but from the perspective of blockchain, if there are more IOTA projects, perhaps outsiders will not view us with such color.
