This is a momentous moment and both the culmination of work we have been doing since the beginning and also the start of the next phase.
One of many momentous things that will be coming in the next 12 months.
I would really like to thank the whole team at Flare for helping get us to this point.
I’d also like to thank our validators, infra providers, dapps & partners - without whom Flare wouldn’t function.
Lastly I’d like to thank @JoelKatz whom I first spoke to in late 2018 and without that conversation Flare may not be here today.
The first XRP backed Stablecoin!
Enosys’s friendly fork of Liquity V2 will allow you to mint Stablecoins collateralized by your FXRP.
…And then put those Stablecoins to work to earn yield, make payments, buy NFT’s, use as collateral, lend out, the sky is the limit!
XRP backed stables. Fully decentralized and onchain. On Flare.

@silversands333@bogdan_lou Hi. I hold RFOX and am trying to figure all this out. It's on Kucoin. Where can I find info about Orange and Juice? And you're saying it will swap 1 to 1 so best to accumulate more?! Thanks
Trustlessly purchasing an NFT on Flare using the token of a different #blockchain. In this demo, we used #Flare's two core interoperability protocols, State Connector, and FTSO, to trustlessly purchase an #NFT on Songbird, using DOGE and XRP tokens.

Here are some Sunday thoughts based on a conversation I had with some friends yesterday:
Why don't the people who've really made it for life just stop being in crypto?
Why spend so much time in front of the computer if you don't have to?
One answer is that the perception of money changes as your net worth goes up.
When you reach $100K, you want $500K.
And when you get to $500K, you want $1M.
Then you want $5M, $10M, $50M, $100M, $1B, etc.
This is called hedonic adoption.
When you make more money, expectations, and desires rise in tandem, which results in no permanent gain in happiness.
Also, if you've heard about IKIGAI you may be able to understand why very wealthy people don't leave the crypto space.
Ikigai means "a reason for being" and crypto can fill all 4 circles:
1. What they're good at
2. What they can be paid for (eg. a good trader)
3. What they love (naturally becomes a love when you have the skill that makes you money and people admire you for it)
4. What the world needs (can be argued, but a lot of them are teaching others how they can reach the same)
The mental health issues that can occur when you have great wealth are:
-a feeling of isolation from the rest of society
-the feeling of only being loved by their friends, partner & kids because of money
-money obsession (every decision is taken out from a money perspective)
-a feeling of emptiness because life is "too easy"
-lacking meaning because you don't need ordinary work
Not everyone who pursues money, however, experiences lowered well-being.
For whom, then, does the pursuit of financial success lead to negative outcomes?
I think the negative outcomes are more likely to come when you make the money game as a part of your everyday life.
Spending most of your waking hours checking crypto prices, researching new investment opportunities, and basically ignoring the normal life around you.
It's a little bit ironic because I realize that I may have a problem myself. There's no doubt that I have become very obsessive with my investments during the last couple of years.
Lately, I've also been having trouble defining some new goals for myself. What once was a steady journey in stock market index funds turned my life upside down in a lucky bet with leverage in March 2020 and buying Ethereum at the right time in the summer of 21' as a trade.
I'm nowhere as rich as the crypto OG's, but wealth is relative and I'm happy with where I am.
But after I quit my 9-5 job 2,5 years ago I've seen friends less, spent more time with crypto, and in general lived less healthily. It has become a little obsessive.
I think we all can agree that beyond a certain point, we can't buy more happiness.
You have to find your enough, and no one can give you that number.
Isn't the goal just to become free and get your time back?
Because what makes you rich and unique is not the possessions you have, but how you have lived.
It’s in the stories you’ve collected, the lives you have touched.
It’s in the memories you have to take with you.
The way I see it is that when you finally make it in crypto, you realize that it wasn't what you wanted in the first place.
You have money, but you're still the same.
Make sure to have more goals in life than money goals, otherwise, it's easy to end up getting depressed.
But that's for another day.

I believe its time we make a strong case for why the native token for layer 1 blockchains should be consider a commodity
We use the term crypto currency to buy things when the only thing it’s required to buy is cpu runtime on the network in the form of expending the native token
That's why @sigsegvx created this simple explanation of blockchains and bridges, using cabbages & chickens to demonstrate the age-old problem of barter when parties don’t trust each other.
