[3:03 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: We are about to commence this activity๐ŸŽ‰
[3:03 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: So quickly
[3:03 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: We would start with the AMA session
[3:03 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Any questions about Tezos and crypto generally you have
[3:03 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: You can make them flow
[3:04 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: We will take a few and up with the quiz
[3:08 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: ๐Ÿ‘€
[3:08 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: What price has Tezos sold for( All time high since it started in 2014)?
[3:11 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Market stats on CMC indicates that Tezos hit it's all time high just this month at $9.175
[3:13 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: And it's all time low is $0.3146
[3:14 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Any more questions
[3:14 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Such data can be found on crypto data aggregators like CoinmarketCap & Coingecko
[3:15 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Any more questions?
[3:18 PM, 10/23/2021] C Prince Anane: So if I have some money to invest, shy should I choose tezos over btc
[3:19 PM, 10/23/2021] C Prince Anane: shy why
[3:21 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: Well noted
[3:21 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: There are many things that sets Tezos apart from BTC, I will talk about;

  1. Self amendment nature of the blockchain
  2. It's smart contract feature
  3. On chain governance
    [3:22 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: These are very unique features of Tezos.
    1&3 ensures that there are no forks of the Tezos blockchain like we see in BTC
    [3:24 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: There have been several forks of BTC leading to spin offs such as Bitcoin cash etc.
    And this goes along way to affect the community loyalty and use of a blockchain
    [3:26 PM, 10/23/2021] C Prince Anane: Ok, this explains what I read on the tezos page
    [3:26 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: And as we see, BTC doesn't have that smart contract feature yet so decentralized applications cannot be built on the network though there may be plans of doing such stuff in the future, it hasn't played out yet.
    [3:26 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: Sure, I think I need more explanation to understand this three statements
    [3:27 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Absolutely, the links I left to the quiz will do justice to that
    [3:27 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: I will repost them at the end of the quiz
    [3:27 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: Well noted
    [3:27 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Ok, I think I can take one more question then we zoom into the quiz
    [3:29 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: As we await the question, let me spill out the rules of quiz
    [3:29 PM, 10/23/2021] XTZ edward amewu: Why do I need Tezos?
    [3:31 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Great question

This question usually points to Tokenomics of a project and its use cases.
Tezos has had a pretty impressive bullish run this year and it is due to its Usecases.

It is really pulling of some massive moves in terms of DEFI & NFTS
[3:32 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: In terms of NFTs, it's providing a clean way of minting NFTs with very low gas fees. No wonder it has chalked many successes in the NFT space though it hasn't been long in the space
[3:34 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Another is Defi, you can stake the Tezos you buy band earn some pretty sumptuous APY rewards. What's better? You can actually engage some Defi protocols like PlentyDefi for some pretty insane returns
[3:34 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: I will leave resources to more of these so you could do your own research
[3:35 PM, 10/23/2021] XTZ edward amewu: Alright thanks ๐Ÿ™
[3:35 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: band and**
[3:35 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: I think the questions section is great, I'm understanding Tezos and Cryptocurrency better
[3:36 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Awesome! We are glad to hear
[3:37 PM, 10/23/2021] XTZ edward amewu: What will you say most people misunderstand about what Tezos stands to solve
[3:42 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Well, there is a lot of comparison to Ethereum probably because both blockchains are in the smart contact game. The main misunderstanding here is that we are doing exactly what other smart contract blockchains are doing so what is the difference๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜…

But one thing Tezos stands to solve even though there are a lot of smart contract blockchains is that power given to the people! That on-chain governance & self ammendment is a very unique value proposition for Tezos.
[3:45 PM, 10/23/2021] XTZ edward amewu: When you say โ€œpower is given to the peopleโ€ what do you mean
[3:46 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: All stakeholders participate in governing protocol through an election cycle which ensure there is a seamless change/effect or upgrade to the network and hence gives the community/stakeholders the chance to make suggestions that improve the blockchain
[3:47 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: What's better?๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Proposed amendments that are accepted by stakeholders can include payment to individuals or groups that improve the protocol.ย 
[3:47 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Consequently, this fosters an active, open, and diverse developer ecosystem that is incentivized to contribute to the protocol will facilitate Tezos development and adoption.
[3:48 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: No wonder there are stats out there that suggests Tezos has one of the highest active developers
[3:49 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Also the foundation allocates funding for developers, researchers and education to ensure there is constant development and adoption
[3:50 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
I think we can zoom to the quiz now
[3:51 PM, 10/23/2021] XTZ edward amewu: Now the billion dollar question
what are some of the ways you can make money with Tezos
[3:53 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: ๐Ÿ˜Š
[3:53 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: โ—พ Trading Tezos
โ—พ Hodling Tezos
โ—พ Staking or becoming a baker
โ—พ Building dApps on top of the Tezos Blockchain
โ—พMinting & trading NFTs on Tezos NFT marketplaces

These are some
[3:55 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Baking is Tezos' own way of referring to "mining" as we see in BTC.

But here, we don't use all those complex computers and huge electricity energy that BTC uses
[3:56 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: I will drop resources you can understand this better
[3:56 PM, 10/23/2021] XTZ edward amewu: Alright Vee thanks

[4:52 PM, 10/23/2021] +233 24 023 0606: @PP Vicentia Asilevi please I'd like to ask some questions. I joined the convo late
[4:53 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Eiii, did @XTZ edward amewu come prepared๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚...

I think it's @ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo you are referring to
[4:53 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Sure
[4:53 PM, 10/23/2021] +233 24 023 0606: Sorry I wrongly tagged ๐Ÿ˜
[4:55 PM, 10/23/2021] +233 24 023 0606: Is Tezos a layer 1 or layer 2 protocol?
[4:55 PM, 10/23/2021] +233 24 023 0606: And can you talk about those two layers
[4:56 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Please all the winners, send me a DM with your Ejara username.

If you don't have Ejara, kindly download it.

Do well to keep your private keys safe๐Ÿ”
[5:00 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: In the decentralized ecosystem, a
๐Ÿ”ฅ Layer-1 network refers to a blockchain, while

a Layer-2 protocol is a third-party integration that can be used in conjunction with a Layer-1 blockchain.

Bitcoin,ย Litecoin, andย Ethereum, for example, are Layer-1 blockchains and so is Tezos.
[5:01 PM, 10/23/2021] +233 24 023 0606: Understood
[5:03 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Good

Now there can be Layer 1 scaling solutions which change the rules of the protocol directly to increase transaction capacity and speed, while accommodating more users and data.ย 
[5:06 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: Tezos does that I guess..๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
[5:06 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Such an example of a layer 1 scaling solution is making improvements to the consensus mechanism. There is a mechanism called Sharding; it's a layer 1 scaling solution and Ethereum & Tezos explores this mechanism
[5:07 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
[5:07 PM, 10/23/2021] +233 24 023 0606: Great
[5:08 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Now a Layer-2 refers to a network or technology that operates on top of an underlying blockchain protocol to improve its scalability and efficiency.
[5:08 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: For instance, Bitcoin is a Layer-1 network, and theย  Lightning Networkย is a Layer-2 solution built to improve transaction speeds in this fashion on the Bitcoin network.ย 
[5:09 PM, 10/23/2021] +233 24 023 0606: That's where bsc and matic comes in
[5:11 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Exactly
[5:11 PM, 10/23/2021] +233 24 023 0606: Got it. You simplified everything ๐Ÿ‘
[5:12 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Awesome! Glad to hear
When free, you could read more into them as there are many types of layer 2 solutions n stuff like that
[5:13 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: Eii saa, me I'm lost...
[5:13 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: Bsc and Matic

This is my confusion
[5:13 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: No pee

This cryptoverse is really huge, there is unending learning everyday๐Ÿ˜ƒ
[5:14 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Bsc stands for Binance smart chain
[5:14 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Matic is a layer 2 solution built for Ethereum
[5:14 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: Encyclopedia๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”
[5:14 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: I will drop resources later we can learn more ok๐Ÿ˜ƒ
[5:15 PM, 10/23/2021] ZTX Sedem Attah-Addo: God bless you for the great work
[5:15 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: In the end, the summary is that Layer-1 and Layer-2 scaling solutions are two sides of the same crypto coin: Theyโ€™re strategies designed to make blockchain networks faster and more accommodating to a rapidly growing user base.
[5:15 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: AMEN!
[5:16 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Thank you all and catch you later... We will definitely have more of such initiatives๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐ŸŽ‰
[5:17 PM, 10/23/2021] PP Vicentia Asilevi: Don't forget to slide into my DM with your Ejara username.
