In Web3, many people like to tell stories, detaching themselves from reality and focusing on abstract concepts, especially during a bear market. I also had my doubts: just as Multicoin co-founder Kyle thought, is blockchain merely an asset ledger? Until I saw @iota's recent activities, I realized that the bear market, real-world implementation, and shift from abstract to concrete applications have truly shown me the feasibility of blockchain's commercial potential. Because the former "British Empire" actually sent four trade officials to work full-time at the IOTA Foundation for a year. Have government officials "working" for a crypto project? There's so much hidden here. What did IOTA use to gain the favor of the British Empire? Why would they need trade officials stationed there? I took a closer look, and it seems to be a global trade revolution brought about by IOTA. Utilizing TWIN technology, IOTA, in collaboration with Teesside University (@TeessideUni) in the UK, directly solved the "data black hole" problem, a major headache for customs clearance. Pilot data shows it can deliver supply chain data to the border 20 hours ahead of schedule. Don't underestimate this less than one-day timeframe; once widely adopted, it's expected to bring £25 billion in trade growth to the UK, with efficiency improvements equivalent to savings of over £200 billion. Even if it took 20 officials a year, it would be worth it! ➡️Focusing on solving real-world trade problems is the fundamental difference between IOTA and many other projects that constantly jump on the bandwagon. IOTA, through technology + government cooperation + data, has proven that the crypto industry is far more than just hype. We look forward to IOTA achieving even greater success, letting the world see: true commercial application is what crypto truly is.
