NEAR

Re- really creating this confidential DeFi as a place where you can build, you know, indeed for the consumers that care about privacy, and indeed for institutions who've been actually waiting for tapping into DeFi, and sitting on sidelines because they were not able to participate in on-chain, kinda traditional on-chain economy.

And so I think there is a huge opportunity to really leverage this kind of private confidential computer that we built with our private shard, kind of all the NEAR intense economy that's built on top of it.

[upbeat music] Hi everyone, welcome to Unchained, your no-hype resource for all things crypto.

I'm your host, Laura Shin.

Thanks.

[upbeat music] Today's topic is privacy, confidentiality, and all things Zcash and NEAR.

Here to discuss are Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, and Mert Mumtaz, co-founder and CEO of Helios, and Zcash influencer.

I really like the charts.

Our Near Protocol has been the second best performing altcoin.

Arbitrum has been the third best performing altcoin of the top 100.

Followed by Uniswap.

And I'll need to keep doing research because I think I found some old information.

But yeah.

Anyway, before we push forward though, Near Protocol was a coin last cycle that also did really well along with the old dinosaur coins like Algorand was one, HBAR was another one that did well along with Near Protocol.

But again, there's no good reason in any way, shape or form for Near Protocol to be doing well.

That could highlight the $5 region by the volume node, where a lot of happy sellers will be happy to let go of their bags should the price skyrocket to that zone, causing a little bit of turbulence.

But in general, I think NEAR has got a bright future over the course of the next few years as we move towards the bull market.

And when you compare NEAR to Bitcoin, this was one of the more terrifying graphs out there.

But again, the recent activity on the money flow is coming viciously back to the upside.

Stochastic and Standard RSI are screaming to the upside as well.

That's doing well, too.

No, near...

Nier has been around forever, so they have the 2021 god candles that they have to recover, which was like $30.

2021.

Those times.

Those times of rational bull market behavior in crypto, right?

Yeah, but as far as Nier goes, like $3 is the highest it's seen in quite a while.

And it's had like a lot of momentum.
