How to measure the value of digital assets?

Digital assets like cryptocurrencies and NFTs have rapidly become part of the mainstream economy. Several institutional investors, corporations and individuals now hold these assets as part of their long-term portfolio. 

Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of ways to measure the price of these digital assets. Investors can tap into real-time statistics about the circulating supply, market price and market capitalization of nearly every digital asset ever created. However, investors still lack the tools and techniques required to measure the value of these digital assets.

In other words, we know how much a Bitcoin is worth in dollars. But how much should it be worth? Is a unit of BTC, currently trading at US$60,000, undervalued or overvalued? Academic literature on this subject is limited, but some tools and valuation methods have emerged in recent years. Here’s a closer look. 

EXPLORING NEW IDEAS

Will Social Media Be Decentralized?

This week, social media giant Facebook announced a rebrand and pivot in its business strategy. The company will now be known as “Meta” and will focus on platforms or devices that connect people to the metaverse. The announcement was a signal that Mark Zuckerberg considers augmented reality, virtual reality and remote work critical to the future of social media. But it was also an indication that too much of the existing social media landscape is controlled by a single company. 

Facebook (aka Meta) is a trillion-dollar juggernaut with controlling stakes in some of the most popular platforms on the modern web. The core Facebook platform along with Instagram and Whatsapp serve as the intermediary for communications between nearly 3 billion people (half the world’s adult population). 

Could it be time to decentralize these communications via social media platforms based on blockchain technology? Here are some indications that the future of likes, shares and subscriptions is decentralized. 

TOKEN OF THE WEEK

Polkadot

Polkadot is a unique blockchain project that seeks to ensure the seamless interconnection of various blockchain networks. Additionally, it aims to address decentralization, speed and security deficiencies that have clobbered many networks in this emerging sector.

Polkadot was launched in 2016 by Gavin Wood, who previously worked on Ethereum, Peter Czaban, and Robert Habermeier. The trio sought to develop an internet of interoperable blockchains as part of a much bigger decentralized web.

Consequently, Polkadot was designed to ensure other networks don’t operate in isolation. Instead, it hopes to “join dots” to ensure interoperability as part of a much bigger multi-chain network. It seeks to operate the same way as HTML, which allows sites, browsers, and servers to share information.
