And the next one I want to update is $SC Yesterday I talked about $SC with a pretty simple thesis : ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 is the currency $SC wants to become the network After my post, $SC continued running and briefly touched around $1.2M MC before retracing But price isn’t actually the most interesting update here Just one day later, the team has already started shipping some of the products I was waiting for When I first wrote about $SC, Silverchat Predict was still something I wanted to see the team execute on. Now the team says it’s live Users can stake ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 on outcomes, while opening a prediction market requires locking $SC. Once the market settles, the locked SC is returned, while the ZC pool is distributed to winners after fees This makes the relationship between the two tokens much clearer to me ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 isn’t just the quote asset for $SC. It’s starting to become the currency used inside the Silverchat network And today, the team also shipped SilverCash SilverCash is the private money layer for the Silverchat ecosystem, built on Railgun Users can deposit $SC, ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722, or ETH, shield their balance, swap privately, and withdraw to a fresh wallet I think this is an important addition to the thesis Silverchat is slowly moving beyond simply being another token connected to the Snowmoon lore. We now have multiple product layers being built around the same ecosystem : > Poll, using ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 to ask and reward responses > Predict, using ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 for prediction markets while $SC is locked to create markets > SilverCash, bringing a private money layer for $SC, ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 and ETH > SilverRealm, the next piece I’m watching closely SilverRealm is probably the part that interests me most from a tokenomics perspective According to the docs, Realm fees are designed to buy ZC, burn a portion of it, then use the remaining amount to buy SC and burn it If the team ships this and SilverRealm actually generates volume, activity inside the ecosystem could start creating demand for both ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 and $SC That part isn’t live yet, so I’m not pricing it into the thesis There are also a few other numbers worth watching Around 5.86% of the $SC supply is currently in the dead wallet, and the dev says they have personally bought back around 2.2 ETH worth of $SC and burned it The Zipcoin treasury also holds around 6% of $SC, so the connection between the two ecosystems is becoming more than just lore But I want to be clear: the current buyback was team-funded. I’m not calling it a sustainable protocol flywheel until we actually see protocol activity generating that demand There’s also one important thing to understand about the chart SC/ZC is the main pair So when ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 pumps, the USD market cap of $SC can rise even without the same level of direct demand coming into SC That’s why the move to $1.2M MC is nice, but it’s not the confirmation I care about most I’d rather see SC/ZC strengthen independently, real users entering Predict, organic activity on SilverCash, and actual ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 consumption from wallets outside the team And eventually, I want to see SilverRealm shipped Also, just like with ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722, 5% of $SC sitting in vitalik.eth does not mean Vitalik bought or endorsed the token. I’m not using that as part of my bull case I’m still holding my $SC position For now, I still see it as a small-cap beta to ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722, so naturally the risk is higher But I like the setup more than I did yesterday The market cap is still relatively small, the broader ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 ecosystem is getting more attention, and most importantly, the Silverchat team is actually shipping Yesterday I said : ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 is the currency $SC wants to become the network Today, that thesis has a little more product behind it Now I want to see users If Predict and SilverCash start getting real activity, and SilverRealm is the next piece to ship, $SC could become a much more interesting part of the ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 ecosystem than the market is currently pricing in Definitely keeping this one on my radar 0x3c3959052f60cbddc498b384958841b718112353
