28th August 2022
The hottest topics in the Crypto Oasis ecosystem right now are NFT’s and the Metaverse however the next big thing might be decentralised social media platforms.
Today’s social media landscape is dominated by Web2 platforms and corporations.?Most social media platforms are centralized which means that the users must comply with the policy of such platforms. If users fail to comply they can lose followers or content that they might have spent years building up. Some people believe that centralised social media platforms are unfair to community members and content creators. Centralised social media industry is thought to lack customization and supports algorithm dictatorship.
Decentralised social media is about giving power back to the people. There are already multiple platforms which have that may replace social media on Web2. DeSo is one example of this, it is a layer- 1 blockchain built and caters to one billion users. There are over 200 apps on Deso where you can create a profile in any app and move your profile along with your followers to any app on the blockchain.
Adoption of decentralised social media might take a long time however due to benefits of decentralized social media are so substantial that it will be quickly adopted by content creators, influencers and the wider public.

Evai Crypto Ratings Review
The Market?- Matthew Dixon
PCE figures released Friday out of the USA showed inflation pressures diminishing very slightly but the fireworks began when Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, spoke with a slightly hawkish tone, intimating that the Fed will be serious about tackling inflation. This rhetoric hints at higher interest rates for longer which create headwinds for economic growth and are negative for risk asset prices including Bitcoin and the wider Crypto market.
Time to put the current price action into perspective. The market does exhibit structure on a larger scale. What appears random does in reality have a semblance of order and it is this order that a good trader looks to exploit.
The chart shows clearly the gradual decline from the all-time high price of Bitcoin. It’s a gradual decline in steps, with lower lows and lower highs. In Elliott wave parlance it’s a triple correction in progress with three large declines in the full cycle to the downside. Each decline exhibits a precise Fibonacci relationship relating to each of the downward waves. ?We are soon to enter the final decline, following which the market should start on the road to recovery.
We can only speculate on the reason for the market turnaround but if pressed, then the likely reason will be a further decline in inflation pressures coupled with falling economic growth. Under these circumstances, the Fed and other Central Banks around the world will return to the policies of monetary easing which will ignite the next risk asset price rally.
Meanwhile, unbiased, Ai-driven rating platform Evai are the go-to place for those cherry picks in an otherwise bear market.
