Goldilocks’ Comments and Global Economic News Tuesday 3-19-2024
Good evening
“User-Ready Mainnet
Phase 2 marks the deployment of a user-ready Mainnet where anyone can deploy and interact with smart contracts. In this phase, the network is ready for more extensive smart contract utilization, so it’s the practical beginning of smart contracts on the Stellar network.”
At the time of this writing, we are just a couple of hours away from the use of digital currencies going to mainnet.
It will be a transition from testnet interactions with cryptocurrencies to actual deployment and use of cryptocurrencies used on a main server.
Here, actual transactions can be made on a blockchain server between companies and countries going forward.
This will begin increasing demand on our new digital economy and new price pressures based on real values.
This does not change paper currency values just yet, but new liquidation of digital assets such as Stablecoins that represent them will provide new price pressures on them over time. Coin Telegraph

PHASE 2
~~~~~~~~~~
Cryptos are currently in what is called a retracement. This happens before a major price trend changes such as a Bitcoin halving.
This time is different. We have a temporary price reversal taking place within a larger trend.
The larger trend is the movement of money inside a digital economy. This time will give more people an opportunity to buy into cryptos at a lower price.
It can and will lead to a broader adoption inside the new digital asset-based trading system.
Welcome to the expansion of our new economy.
