Raoul Pal, the CEO of Real Vision, has presented a new framework for understanding the cryptocurrency ecosystem. He suggests that bitcoin and ethereum should be seen as economies, rather than just assets, each with unique characteristics.
Pal likens the economics of Bitcoin to the Catholic church or gold bug community, which fiercely protects the integrity of its protocol and resists innovation. The Ethereum economy is compared to the US economy, with a central bank following the rules of responsible monetary policy to ensure value is maintained.
Pal also notes that ETH has a deflationary supply, making it attractive to investors looking for yield. Pal argues that the Ethereum economy presents opportunities for capital gains through private sector lending, NFTs, and the emerging layer of dApps, DAOs, social tokens, and Layer 2s.
He sees the Ethereum economy as the fastest growing economy on earth, offering many opportunities for investors. However, Pal stresses the importance of investing time to find the best options, dollar cost averaging and diversifying to avoid potential losses.
Regarding other major crypto projects, Pal compares XRP to the UK, an old economy that lacks innovation and grows slowly.
Solana is compared to South Korea just after the Asian crisis, when its currency and stock markets crashed. It presented an unmatched opportunity that outperformed both the USD and the SPX for six years.
However, Solana was unable to continue the superior performance and did not stand the test of time.
Pal concludes that the crypto ecosystem presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those willing to work to navigate and understand it. Pal also comments on other emerging cryptocurrencies including Sui, Aptos, Meta, Instagram, and Polygon, viewing ETH as the easiest way to invest with the least risk.
