Introduction and motives
With the advent of cryptocurrencies, we are faced with a lot of projects.
Speculation is the core value of cryptocurrencies that has allowed them to become popular.
People made money from the very idea of cryptocurrencies. They sold each other cryptocurrency as the technology of the future, but tried to profit for themselves in the present.
This approach created a lot of examples of people who became rich in a short period of time.
In reality, however, cryptocurrencies in their 12 years of existence have not become integrated into our lives to the extent that we could say that they are very much improving our lives through technology.
Today it's 2022. Coronavirus restrictions. Military conflicts. A looming economic crisis and a foggy future.
A huge number of crypto projects are popping up, but so far the main motive to buy cryptocurrencies is speculation and winning money on the rise in value of the coin.
The attractiveness of the project is measured by the potential for X's and multiplications of your capital. In reality the technological value itself remains beyond the comprehension or desire to understand by 95% of cryptocurrency holders.
While a person who has bought cryptocurrencies is a person who has gone through the technological steps and has the minimal ability to find the motivation to do so.
It's clearly to see that blockchain technology is starting to enter more and more into our lives and becoming useful technological solutions in business, government or our everyday lives.
Bitcoin was created for freedom.
Bitcoin has proven to be a solution that carries technological value.
Bitcoin was profitable to hold so that it became worth more. Then a person could sell the bitcoin for dollars and use the dollars to improve their lives.
That is, bitcoin itself is valuable when we can exchange it for an understandable currency unit that is recognised in the world.
Now the trend is changing a bit, but in general any cryptocurrency value ends up being tied to a currency whose value is clear and more stable.
Altcoins, the very ones that bring something new to the table.
Altcoin is essentially a mutation of bitcoin, which turned into an evolutionary explosion, thousands of different blockchain projects, like thousands of animal species appeared in just a few years
Each has its own purpose, merits and demerits. Everyone wants to be the king of this jungle.
The puzzles are beginning to gather...
Among the thousands of blockchain projects and coins of various stripes, there are some really interesting solutions.
The crypto industry has evolved into a unified network of projects that are starting to interact with each other.
Each has its own function and each is starting to take its place in this crypto reality and in our lives.
The cryptocurrency market is now a large variety of projects from which practical tools can be created.
The baton has kicked in, the step has been taken, now it's your turn.
Any innovation and discovery is subject to the laws of integration.
If there is a new technology, it becomes popular among enthusiasts, who use it either for questionable reasons or for good reason, but which is known only to them.
Then the baton is taken over by the integrators, those people who realise that the technology is not dead and therefore there is value in it.
Today we are in the phase of integrating crypto technologies into our lives at a deeper level.
If we now offer blockchain technology properly and understandably as a solution to our real problems, the problems of ordinary people with ordinary lives, the problems of companies, states, and just associations of people, then we will move to the next level.
The next level will be scaling.
A realistic estimate is that just over 100 million people in the world use cryptocurrencies in various forms, that's about 2% of the world's population between 18-65 years old. That's not a lot, but it's growing all the time.
Scaling up will mean that cryptocurrency adoption will grow to 20-25% of the population, but that's probably not until 8-10 years from now.
And after that comes the era of systematisation.
But this will already be a task for the younger generation, and we have to go through the integration phase.
The ARK project is another step towards making blockchain technology work for us, to create real and measurable value that goes beyond speculation and quick profits.
ARK is a collection of blockchain and crypto solutions that is a living and evolving system.
In future articles, we will go deeper and deeper into the core of the project and how we see our lives and individual metrics improving in different areas through these technologies.
ARK is a step towards creating communities of people, where we can pool our resources, knowledge, money and influence and direct them as effectively as possible.
After all, any business and action ultimately comes down to simply editing this reality like plasticine and creating something new out of it.
ARK will be a tool for us to help change that reality quickly, transparently, efficiently and reliably.
