In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the world was suddenly digitized by necessity, I found myself enamored with the crypto space and the mounting momentum behind the space. A healthcare worker by profession, I found myself at the very least employed during the global crisis. However, reading, writing, and learning about crypto slowly pervaded my free time, staying with me long after I was vaccinated and am free once again to roam outside of the digital world. I have always loved the written word, logic, and rhetoric, and have decided to take a dive into the crypto writing space. As an avid consumer of crypto articles, I have become adept at discerning sloppy TA from solid fundamental analysis, reading through blatant FUD and deriving the perspective of the authors. I believe that I could deliver quality content to tokenist.com using my skills as a scientific writer and using my financial knowledge from first Bachelor's in Economics and Sustainability.
After revealing my love for all things green, it should come as no surprise to the reader that my favorite project-by leaps and bounds, I may add- is Algorand. Algorand was founded by Turing Award recipient Silvio Micali as a scalable blockchain using Proof of Stake. Not only did Micali see POS as the future, and expected bottlenecks in Ethereum while using Proof of Work, he took it a step further with a Pure Proof of Stake system, in which validators are chosen randomly for each block, significantly reducing the chances of a 51% attack. Algorand offers fixed transaction fees at 0.002%. If theres is to be a digital dollar, Algorand appears to be one of the most viable projects to host it.
