Definition of GDP: (Money Supply x Money Velocity) / Price Levels As money velocity increases, so does real GDP🔺 if we put real GDP onchain, we are by definition increasing money velocity and therefore increasing real GDP. This is powerful. Read this post to understand where the future is headed. To understand this is to understand Avalanche. To explain Avalanche’s role in real GDP, we first need to identify what Avalanche is, what it’s doing, and where it is going. Let’s begin. > What is Avalanche? Avalanche is an ecosystem, not a business. Chains aren’t singular companies. They are a collection of thousands. All with revenue, individual needs, and different customers… yet all connected. The more sustainable businesses a chain has, the higher the supply of money in the ecosystem. Emphasis here is on sustainable businesses. While short term activity is a key part of this industry, to get where we are going we need reliable activity. What most people don’t understand about sustainable businesses. They take a long time to build. Avalanche plays the long game. - Nvidia created CODA nearly a decade before it was mass-adopted. - Tesla released the roadster nearly a decade before EVs were mass-adopted. - AWS launched cloud computing nearly a decade before it was mass-adopted. The list goes on… (Avalanche is only 5 years old) Combine this with Avalanche’s high throughput, horizontal scaling, and sub-second finality, you have a strong case for real GDP onchain. Again, the definition of real GDP: (Money Supply x Money Velocity) / Price Levels Money Supply increases by the number and quality of sustainable businesses onchain. Money Velocity increases with the speed of the network. These are things the Avalanche ecosystem is obsessed with. > What Avalanche is doing? Putting sustainable revenue onchain. Examples of sustainable businesses being built on Avalanche: -Ticketing -Institutional finance -DeFi -Loyalty -Gaming -Payments -Stablecoins -Supply Chain -Privacy The list goes on… Not to imply short term speculation isn’t important. Both can exist in the same ecosystem, but Avalanche has massive goals in mind. Real GDP is smaller on traditional rails due to the trapped capital stuck in transit of credit rails, business hours, and unnecessary middlemen. When placed on Avalanche rails, the money moves with subsecond finality. GDP increases when businesses are built onchain. > Where is Avalanche going? Onboarding the world to blockchain. The future we are building is one where you go about your everyday life not even knowing you are using the blockchain. Each time value changes hands there is a trace to the Avalanche network. Buying a ticket to a game, taking a loan, making a payment, buying an item in-game, all powered by Avalanceh on the backend. We’re not just talking about this. We are doing it. Avalanche is putting real GDP onchain. The vision is powerful. The tech is powerful. We are barely getting started🔺
