2023 was an incredible year.


We slogged through the mud of the bear, from the worst lows of winter to the first sprouts of uptrend in the autumn.

Two years of fighting the boredom and the seemingly neverending Twitter drama, the PvP in the markets, and the monotony of low liquidity.

In this post ETF lull, we now have to think of the next narrative. The past was marked by a new digital currency that made transactions anonymous and fast across borders.

Then came smart contracts built on that thesis.

We made those contracts into unique, non-fungible entries into a whole new world of usecases.

And now, we combine all of that and it comes to this crux: DePIN.

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks act as a new physical internet.

What is DePIN? It stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network, and it is going to be the underlying infrastructure of the internet in the future.

Everything we rely on today is centralized, meaning there's only one or two points of failure -- your internet, either by provider, physical infrastructure, or even throttling.

Power? Companies, physical infrastructure.

Water?

DePIN completely changes this, and we've seen a sharp rise.

Some of you may have heard of $RNDR , a GPU sharing token, which is one of the first DePINs to have been born. How about Helium, using it's users to power cellular communication for only 20 dollars a month.

Hivemapper uses users drivers to map roads at a far more efficient level than Google does, potentially lowering API fees for apps like Lyft or Uber.

Speaking of rideshare, we have Teleport.xyz, in which drivers take 82% of the ride fee, as opposed to 56% for Uber.

DePIN allows for an Internet of Things to exist. This IoT then powers an Economy of Things.

Where EoTs come in, RWAs come in.

RWAs traditionally have been simple, fractionalized things like real estate or wine.

But now, we have a major catalyst to get everyone involved.

I heard in a Twitter space about garbage collectors being able to long or short on how much plastics would be collected that week.

This is the future.
