Equating the early days of the internet with the crypto boom is now just a hackneyed adoption analogy. However, now that it is understood, investors can use it to diversify their portfolios.  Crypto evangelist Chamath Palihapitiya recently called “Bitcoin the most profound iteration of the internet that we’ve seen.” However, this time around it is “headless”. Palihapitiya explained that Google ruled the roost at the beginning of the internet boom. And, Facebook has dominated the industry for the last 15 years, he added.

The third quarter of the year was both exciting and nerve-wracking for most in the crypto-community. And, while both Bitcoin and Ethereum saw positive quarters, the big winners were actually newer protocols. In fact, a significant surge in smart contract platforms outpacing the larger market was noticeable with the rise of projects such as Solana, Avalanche, and Terra. All of the aforementioned gained by at least 300% on the charts.  Even though the Ethereum network had a burst of new user adoption, mostly due to the rapid rise of NFTs,

Digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen a stellar rise in terms of adoption and user base over the past few months. However, the month of September did not contribute much to this growth. In fact, last month broke some trends and created history in some other ways. Bitcoin’s dominance dropped and altcoin favoritism rose. Ergo, the question – What can we expect from the market in Q4. The fall of digital assets Assets under Management (AUM) in September failed to see the same hike witnessed back in August

A new service called Wormhole NFT Bridge connects Ethereum and Solana to let users transfer assets between these competing blockchains.  This service, in technical terms, is called a “bi-directional bridge” that can send assets and make them compatible with other blockchain platforms.  This is how it works: When someone wants to transfer a Solana NFT to Ethereum to sell it on OpenSea, the service would first lock the original NFT within the Wormhole smart contract.  A smart contract is a technology that runs behind decentralized apps, DeFi protocols, and NFTs

Needless to say, it was the latest chapter in the debate between Bitcoin and Ethereum maximalists. According to Boyapati, Bitcoin was right to give importance to backwards compatibility, when compared to changing protocols or issuance volumes – as Ethereum has done.
