Bitcoin is at a critical crossroads, facing either a sharp decline or a massive rally. As Bitcoin weighs its options, altcoins are also looking to surge and reach new highs. American billionaire investor Tim Draper recently joined the Thinking Crypto podcast, where he discussed his altcoin investments.
Tim’s fund has made a significant investment in Arkham, a company focused on blockchain analytics. He praised the ingenuity of the Arkham team, particularly for their capability to link names to Bitcoin wallets, which has drawn interest from institutions like the U.S. Marshals Office.
Arkham has introduced a token essential for users seeking information on wallet ownership and activities. This token has shown strong performance, contributing positively to Tim’s portfolio.
Another investment is in Tezos, a blockchain that supports smart contracts and decentralized applications. Tim appreciates Tezos for its emphasis on governance and formal verification, making it a solid choice for projects requiring secure and scalable solutions.
Tim has also invested in Bancor, a decentralized liquidity network. He views Bancor as a vital player in the DeFi ecosystem, providing liquidity for various tokens and enhancing market efficiency.
In his early investments, Tim included Handshake, a decentralized naming protocol. He recognizes its potential to revolutionize domain name registration and ownership through blockchain technology.
Before approving any token for investment, Tim explained the importance of understanding its purpose:
Tim believes that smart contracts are central to the future of investment and business transactions. He describes a scenario where he could invest in a business using Bitcoin, facilitated by a smart contract. This arrangement allows for dynamic negotiations and clear enforcement of terms. He said that smart contracts can automate complex agreements, making transactions more efficient and less prone to disputes.
