Well musk isn’t slowing down one bit with his crypto tirade, and showing some of his
true colors during it.
What he is currently doing looks like insanity on the surface, but if you look deep enough
it leads you back to cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin.
Yes...that is known!
Doge….Elon loves to have fun.
Energy Web...possibly.
But how about another altcoin??
Let’s uncover it, because it’s time for Chico Crypto!
Let’s begin this episode off with this tweet.
Elon said “This is true power” with a meme of Chuck Norris, that says he can withdraw
bitcoin from Mt. Gox.
What in the freak is Elon bringing up Mt Gox for!?
That tis the first & most controversial crypto exchange which went down in 2014, and many
BItcoin OGs still have coins stuck in court proceedings with the exchange...again this
is Elon hinting that he has been involved with Bitcoin longer than just his massive
Tesla buys announced early this week.
Damn Chico, why you talking about Bitcoin!??
We know Elon loves it now, what about the altcoin!??
Well let’s figure it out.
And it ties right back into his 100 million dollar prize for carbon capture technology
he announced early this week too.
So to begin….a little over 2 weeks ago, Elon tweeted he was donating 100 million dollars,
towards a prize for the best carbon capture technology and he would be providing details
soon.
Well he provided them on Monday, tweeting that xprize will manage the 100 million carbon
capture prize, with a link to the details from xprize.
Before we get into the details.
Who is xprize?
They are a foundation which uses large-scale global incentive competitions to crowdsource
solutions to the world's grand challenges.
Going to their about us section, they were founded in 1994, and the first xrpize was
the Ansari XPRIZE for private spaceflight.
They say it created exponential breakthroughs, spurring the commercial spaceflight industry,
inspiring the launch of pioneering companies and household names such as Virgin Galactic,
Blue Origin and Elon’s SpaceX..
Yes Elon is connected to Xprize, more than just this competition, they have actually
worked together for over 10 years.
And Elon was one of the main benefactors for their global learning xprize, which kicked
off in 2014, and just concluded in 2019.
So deep ties, the 2 & elon shelling out 100million of his own money to them is proof of that.
I wonder who xprize has ties to in the blockchain/crypto industry!?
Connections on multiple levels that makes the movie inception, look like Tenet on school
day?
Well let’s begin at Level Numero Uno.
The initial collaboration between Xprize and this altcoin.
And this takes us...all the way back to the last bull run 2017.
The Altcoin even posted a blog about them joining this xrpize competition.
The blog was titled “xprize & ocean protocol” Moving AI forward at the speed of teamwork
and the subheading says “Ocean Protocol Foundation and IBM Watson AI XPRIZE® join
forces to bring Data and AI together” Ocean lists xprize as one of their enterprise
partners on their website.
So does xrpize reciprocate the acknowledgment??
Well going to the sponsors and partners of this specific xprize, of course IBM watson
is listed first..but down below, Ocean is listed as one of the 5 technical partners.
Now these xrpize competitions are long term, going to hub for this prize and the roadmap,
it started all the way back in june of 2016, and is still ongoing...the finalists have
been announced, but the grand prize ceremony is still to come, scheduled for quarter 2
of this year.
Boom shikawangbom, that alone is gonna be future hype for Ocean this year as they are
obviously fully involved with this, Trent McConagy, Co-founder of Ocean is a technical
ambassador to the teams competing for the prize.
But that is just level one with Ocean & Xprize...remember I said there are multiple levels?
In August last year, this news got swept under the rug because of what was going on, but
Ocean joined the xprize pandemic alliance….
Which is confirmed by going to their alliance page, and they are listed as a corporate partner.
But go back to the tweet by Ocean, they responded to their own tweet and said “Collaboration
is essential to this mission and we're proud to join partners including intel to bring
visibility to existing solutions and pave the way for new solutions.
Then they @’d Trent co-founder of ocean who sits as ambassador to the xprize AI challenge
& someone oh so important @A225...who is this?
Going to his twitter, this is Amir Banifatemi which takes us down to level 3 and brings
us the big ole connections to xprize….
But before we get down into that, it's time for a sponsored segment of this video brought
to you by our friends over at God’s Unchained, the epic NFT based, battle trading card game
& like always the full details of our agreement are down in the description.
Crypto OGs, they know about Gods Unchained.
It was the first, NFT based card game, that had the polish & AAA gameplay to bring the
masses, the mere mortals into the world of cryptocurrency as it’s fun to play & compete
with other players, and rise through the ranks, especially when NFTs are on the line.
And God’s Unchained is Free to Play, just for signing up and creating a free account
you receive the welcome set, of course linke for that is down in the descrition and comments.
This is 70 unique cards, 2 of each for 140 cards total..and each have their own special
abilities for use in game against other card player opponents.
And the nice thing about Gods, is it's a play to earn model.
You don’t have to buy anything, cards packs or the like to get going.
You just need to play.
By playing games you unlock packs that give you digital cards.
These are Common Core cards and are not minted to the Ethereum network….just like your
welcome set, these aren’t worth anything...yet
By winning games in Ranked, you earn Flux.
Flux is a crafting tool that allows you to make Common Core cards more valuable….
And here is where things get fun with Gods. the Forge.
Once you have earned enough Flux, you can head to the Forge in the game launcher and
fuse duplicate Core cards together to create higher quality cards.
These then become minted to the Ethereum mainnet and now have real world value.
And then the final step is to trade these cards in their in game Marketplace, or within
other NFT based stores like OpenSea for real world crypto assets like Ethereum.
What is done with that Ethereum is up to the Player, they can use it to buy more packs,
creating a stronger deck, or they can use it for real world expenses, like Rent.
But Gods just gave players even more of what they want, Stars and the stare store, which
is another way to be rewarded for playing and winning.
You gain Stars by winning games in the Ranked Constructed queues.
Stars are awarded in a Star Vial, which you open up immediately after getting a ranked
game win.
So if you win a ranked match, you don’t only win card packs and flux now, but also
vials, like a supergiant vial which contains 200, 250 or 300 stars.
Besides the supergiant there is nebula’s, smaller between 40 and 60 starts, but there’s
also Universal vials worth between 2000 to 2500 starts.
And vials, open opening have a chance to upgrade to the next level, you could earn just the
nebula vial, but upon opening you could unlock it all the way up to a universe.
So what do you do with the stars?
You use them in the star store, exchanging them for a variety of cards to boost your
deck.
A rotating list too, with daily deals and weekly deals.
Another way to play to earn.
So crypto investors, and gamers alike.
Getting in on NFT action early is like getting in on the ground floor of the internet, if
you could own pieces of it.
Gods unchained releases packs on schedule, for only a limited time.
Their Genesis cards, which are not being released any more?
Being sold for real world value.
The packs you earn in game for playing?
They will stop releasing that set, you could open it and get the cards or you can sell
those unopened.
Sealed Packs down the road when they stop releasing.
The choice is yours Packs, Chets, cards...the possibilities are limitless with Gods Unchained,
especially with their Layer 2 solution Immutable X on the horizon, destroying ethereum gas
fees for good.
ANd again links to play to earn are below.
Now back to going to third Level with Amir Banifatemi.
Remember Ocean @’d him in their tweet about joining their second xprize group.
Who is Amir??
Well going to xprize’s about us, and the main xprize team, Amir is their Chief Innovation
& Growth officer…as we can see from the detail on him, he leads AI initiatives for
xprize, and is the executive director for 2 of competitions, including the IBM watson
one, Ocean is apart of.
So that’s the connection right?
An indirect one….well like Amy Winehouse Chico says….
No No No...there is a direct one.
Amir, Chief innovation and growth officer for xrpize is also on the Ocean team, he joined
as an Advisor to them in December of 2018.
Remember, it was November of 2017, when Ocean joined the AI xrpize competition of which
Amir was executive director for.
1 year later, he joins them as an Advisor??
Me thinks Ocean has a ton going on with xprize….and it could lead to Elon’s 100 million dollar
carbon capture competition.
As it’s through xrpize….But why??
Well the details of the competition, are still to be released.
Going to it’s landing page, for the sponsors and partners...it’s empty besides elon musk.
Usually there are more sponsors and parters, per example the AI competition...and then
gonig back to the description of the competition.
It says “All information preliminary and subject to change so sign up to stay up to
date with competition news and announcements.
Full competition guidelines, prize purse and more information to be confirmed on Earth
Day, April 22nd 2021.
So, I’m sure those involved with this, beyond just Musk will be announced that day.
Could Energy web be involved with EW Zero ?? I speculated that yes, it could!.Could
Ocean be involved!?
Well, suspiciously advisor to Ocean Amir tweeted about the specific competition saying “A
landmark moment!
XPRIZE just launched the $100M XPRIZE Carbon Removal funded by Elon Musk, the largest prize
in history.
Let's all help change the world with this company and work to restore Earth's carbon
balance!
You feel the motion of Chico’s Ocean!?
Cheer’s I’ll see you next time!
