I come from from a long line of bitcoin miners. My ancestors were all bitcoin miners. My father, grandfather, and great grandfather were all bitcoin miners. It was dangerous work. Deaths in the mines were all too common. My grandfather died in a bitcoin mining accident in 1961.

I remember that, as a child in the 1960's, everybody in the community relied on the mining income. It's the only work there was back then.

We were pretty poor. Bitcoin wasn't worth much, not like today. On the other hand they were much more plentiful and easier to find. When I was a child, a block of 50 bitcoins wasn't hard to find. Those bitcoins could feed an entire family for a week. Sometimes my dad would find two blocks in a week. When that happened we would get to eat meat on a Sunday. But there were also the weeks when he didn't find any, and we would go hungry.

I remember him once coming home pretty happy. He had found a hard fork. He gave us all a big kiss and then handed my mum a big bundle of bitcoin cash. She took us all out for a treat in the movies.

It wasn't a steady income. You never knew if you were going to find any bitcoin. To smooth out the ups and downs my dad eventually joined a mining pool which shared the results amongst its members. It didn't last long. The difficulty was constantly going up and the rewards became less and less.

As I said, it was hard and gruelling work. They didn't use nice clean electricity like they do today. It was hard and dirty work involving sweat and blood.

>> No.29961650

If you want to know the real meaning of "proof of work", just imagine my father when he came home after a gruelling day down a bitcoin mine. You knew where he had been. The proof was everywhere. His skin and clothes were covered in bitcoin dust. The whole house used to stink of it. I think it was what killed him He was probably constantly inhaling bitcoin dust into his blockchain.

If my father was still alive today, I wonder what he would say, on learning that bitcoin is now worth thousands of dollars.

Anyway, sorry for the above. I do realise that this is not about bitcoin, but rather about moonshots. So here is my prediction of an exciting moonshot. My moonshot crypto is the GET Protocol token ($GET). It's a crypto with a deflationary supply.

It's also a tiny microcap, below $10 million, which means it could easily do 100x.

GET solves the scalping problem which plagues the ticket industry, particularly for pop concerts. Despite Covid's lockdowns, and 99% cancellation of events, there are still more than 1000 GET-powered tokens being issued every day.

Why do I think GET will go to the moon? Simple. There will be more pop concerts once lockdown finishes. That means more demand from ticket issuers and more GET will be burned.

Not good having that bitcoin dust in your lungs, reks the body.

Bitcoin dust on Egyptian mummies? I read that they found drawings of light-bulbs and batteries on the tomb walls, but this just goes to show those ancient Egyptians were smarter than we think. On the other hand, if you can build a pyramid by mining blocks of stone weighing a billion tons with your bare hands, I guess mining a little bit of bitcoin on the side was not that great a feat.

It already is working. 600k tickets sold. 27% growth rate during covid19. Expanded to Korea (kpop deals signed), Italy, Germany and UK

The rate of growth is impressive. Fans are fed up with it and it goes through the chain to artists and venues.

P.S. fans don't even know blockchain is involved. They only see the benefits.

Every ticket sold requires 0,34$ worth of GET. This is paid by the ticketeers. Bought from exchanges and burned. So it's deflationary.

https://link.medium.com/8hfEjn0Ideb

Additionally the token is also a governance token. The goal of the protocol is to be fully decentralized and everything to be decided by tokenholders. The first steps in governance will be released very soon. I expect the ticketing companies using GET to buy up and lock a lot if the supply as they will want to have a say in the protocol their tickets are running on.

Here's also the burn wallet:

https://etherscan.io/token/0x8a854288a5976036a725879164ca3e91d30c6a1b?a=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As more tickets are sold, more GET is sent here and burned forever.

>> No.29965335

>>29965206
Don't be a dumbass.

The GET needed is expressed in fiat (0,34$ per ticket). GET is divisible to 18 decimals.

As the supply gets smaller so does the price of GET. In an extreme example you could be holding the last GET and sell them 0,000000000000000001 for millions and do this until the end of the universe.

Just like you can't empty a Uniswap pool so can't all the GET be burned as the market is elastic and the closer we get to a low supply the more explosive the price upwards will be.

I don't trust that the ticketeers will just set up an eth wallet and buy get of uniswap, there needs to be some kind of Treasury system where they pay with fiat and the system buys from the exchanges

You ask what the market can will be in 3-5 years.

I am going to give you a few clues - but you have to do the maths:
1) 99% of events are closed due to lockdowns.
2) A record number of GET-powered tickets were sold in 2020.
3) The current run rate in 2021 is more than 1000 tickets a day, i.e. 30% to 50% more than in 2020.
4) Any ticket issuer can use the GET Protocol to prevent scalping. It's a white labe product open to all. It's invisible to the end user. He just has a ticket on his phone.
5) New ticket users are starting to use the GET Protocol.
6) European laws are being passed (e.g. in the UK), requiring ticketing companies to take action against bots buying to scalp.
9) This is a small cap - below $10 million.
10) If 365k tickets per annum can be sold during lockdown, (meaning each ticket burns $0.34 of GET), what do you think will happen to the GET price when the 99% of closed events start to re-open?

You wrote "wont they run into problems in the eu for example, there is regulatory uncertainty when it comes to burning"
