Interactive Blockchain Valuation Model

Cryptocurrencies do have a value, and they can be valued using traditional economic tools.

We built a model to demonstrate our thesis, taking into account three core elements of blockchain technology: The Trilemma, Security Budget, and Real-World application. Try our model below to explore the fundamental value of a cryptocurrency and its blockchain. For the full context behind this model and how we approached it, check out this blog post.

As Niels Bohr (and not Yogi Berra) said, “prediction is difficult, especially if it’s about the future.”

We think our assumptions as to the Chia Blockchain are reasonable, and conservative, and our capital cost estimate captures our risk. However, reasonable minds will differ. This is a tool to create estimates and not a specific prediction.
