June 2nd , 2020 - strategies and people time as new assets
today ill explore and tell you about 2 new assets and trends that i suspect will be bigger in the future and ways i think we can get exposure to it .
trading strategies- in the traditional markets, platforms like QuantConnect and Quantopian connects quant analysts that create trading algos to investors that want to invest in this algos, in addition, there are platforms like https://www.darwinex.com/login that focuses on the investors side and give investors options to invest in strategies . in crypto the leading exchange that enables that is ftx and their quaint zone and trading competitions. other platforms in crypto enable to invest in strategies across exchanges such as https://mudrex.com and https://coinrule.io/.
how to capture the opportunity here :
the active way, in my opinion, is to develop a bridge between the mainstream quants community to the crypto exchanges.
another active way is to fund competitions and invest in a diversified portfolio of strategies. potentially do a token around it.
2. people \attention \ time tokens - we see a few platforms that enable people to issue tokens that enable other people benefits related to their time , its a way for influencers to monetize their community and for investors to bet on the future success of the person. here is 76 examples of people issued tokens on roll, one of the platforms.
the platforms enable people to issue their tokens representing their time or scarce item related to them:
roll working pretty similar to patreon only that the time is a scarce resource so the contributors can make money from buying the time of the person first and not only as a donation.
Zora and foundation work in a way that enables the influencer to issue a scarce commodity and each unit of it is more expensive then the previous one so it creates value to the item they issued, one example is $TAPE which got 20x on the initial value.
how to capture the opportunity here :
I believe the power here belongs to the influencers so the opportunity is by being an influencer that sells his time or a scarce commodity.
an active way to do it:
partnering up with influencer platform and help the influencers to issue their tokens.
A passive way to do it:
pay attention to whats happening on these sites and invest in influencers that you like.
until the next update.
