Imagine having a vault on your phone. Being able to access your money, in your control, from anywhere in the world.
This is what nano wallets are for! The perfect thing about #nano? Most wallets are super easy to use!

What creates value?
What creates a reliable store of value?
Value is derived from supply and demand.
A reliable store of value (SoV) emerges from the respective stabilization of both supply and demand.
Let's compare #Bitcoin#BTC and #Nano🇽 #XNO🇽 from this perspective.
👇
Disclaimer
This is my personal theory on economic value (ToV) derived from studying many other theories, eg Austrian, Keynesian, labor/cost ToV, subjective ToV, behavioral ToV, social capital, gift theory, free market game theory, @saifedean-omics, etc
Feel free to challenge my statements
Supply
Bitcoin has low and decreasing inflation with plans to reach a supply cap in ~120 yrs
The problem with this is that there's no guarantee that it can function with a fixed supply,
or that the planned cap will be upheld (most likely won't)
https://t.co/1on4qSLMaE
Nano has a fully distributed fixed supply that will never debase its users
Its security model has been fixed for nearly 6 years already
Demand is driven by 4 primary factors
The intrinsic value drivers (utility & adoption - objective and relatively easy to measure),
and extrinsic value drivers (social & sentimental - subjective and harder to measure).
Utility (intrinsic)
Bitcoin offers slow and expensive medium of exchange (MoE),
with incentivized centralization (https://t.co/09P7MGGqIV) and reactive decentralized protection against monetary theft, seizure, censorship, and debasement
Nano offers instant and feeless MoE,
with incentivized proactive decentralized protection against monetary theft, seizure, censorship, and debasement https://t.co/kkn4jK19xv
Utilitarian adoption / network effect (intrinsic)
(not holders/traders) - byproduct of utility
Bitcoin doesn't function well as a MoE,
driving MoE "adoption" to centralized and custodial "L2s" that completely negate the utility described above https://t.co/A9tQP69VFO
Nano is still lacking in terms of utilitarian adoption,
but its utility as a MoE with the protections described above should provide ever-increasing adoption
Social value (extrinsic)
Clearly Bitcoin has tremendous social value (eg. hype) at the moment,
but this is unsustainable on its own
DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, etc are great examples of social value that won't sustain without intrinsic value
Similarly to adoption, Nano is still lacking in terms of social value,
but awareness, recognition, and hype around Nano are growing consistently
Sentimental value (extrinsic)
Bitcoin will likely always retain some level of sentimental value, as a relic of the origin of cryptocurrencies
IMO, long-term BTC (at least in its current form) will be little more than an insecure network of sentimental collectibles (both the asset and NFTs)
Nano enthusiasts seem similarly sentimentally attached to the asset
But again, this is hard to measure
Based on these metrics,
which asset would you speculate has a better chance to achieve long-term stabilization of supply and demand,
providing a reliable SoV?
Why?
Chinese miners currently have three opinions on Ethereum’s switch to PoS
1. BITMAIN supports ETC
2. Chandler Guo leads the discussion on forking PoW ETH
3. Bixin Wallet expressed support for other PoWs
