In modern mobile application development, data visualization is a crucial part. Chart libraries play a key role in React Native applications, helping developers present and analyze data visually. There are many excellent chart libraries available in the React Native ecosystem. In this article, we will compare three popular chart libraries in the React Native community. Let's begin this comparative journey to delve into the differences between React Native ECharts, Victory Native, and React Native Chart Kit. Chart Library Introduction React Native Chart Kit was developed in 2018, it has been 5 years since its inception. With a cumulative download count of 2,840,757, it has garnered 2.5k+ stars on GitHub. It has become a highly popular library in the React Native community. React Native Chart Kit Victory Native is a chart library that was developed in 2015. It has been 7 years since its inception. With a high cumulative download count of 7,434,044, it has garnered an impressive 10.3k+ stars on GitHub. It is the longest-standing and most widely used chart library in the history of React Native. Victory Native React Native ECharts is a newly released chart library this year. It currently has 2,565 downloads and has received 363 stars on GitHub. As a rising star among React Native chart libraries, it holds great potential. With time, it is believed that will become one of the most popular chart libraries. React Native ECharts React Native ECharts Here is the comparison table for the basic data: React Native Chart Kit Victory Native React Native ECharts Creation Date 2018 2015 2023 Downloads 2,840,757 7,434,044 2565 Unpacked Size 399kB 78.4kB 169kB Github star 2.5k+ 10.3k+ 363 Last publish a year ago a month ago a month ago Comparison of Basic Principles The main approach is to utilize React Native's native view components to create the basic structure and layout of the charts, such as View, Text, etc. Additionally, libraries like react-native-svg and paths-js are used for rendering the charts with vector graphics. React Native Chart Kit also relies on React Native's native views combined with SVG for rendering. It also draws inspiration from D3 (Data-Driven Documents) by mapping data to chart elements and using scales to transform data values and positions. Victory Native fetches the SVG graphic data of ECharts charts and rewrites the SVGPainter of ECharts. By utilizing the existing chart data of ECharts, it renders the charts on the React Native side using either react-native-svg or react-native-skia. React Native ECharts Code Writing Comparison Let's take the commonly used area chart as an example. Now, let's see how they are implemented using the following code snippets: React Native Chart Kit import { LineChart } from"react-native-chart-kit";

    color: (opacity = 1) => `rgba(14, 17, 22, ${opacity})`,
    strokeWidth: 2, // optional, default 3
    barPercentage: 0.5,
    useShadowColorFromDataset: false // optional
};

} The effect is displayed as follows: From a code-writing perspective, is data-driven, so you typically pass in data and configure related styles through props. Most importantly, it acts more like a set of tools that you can DIY. You can use various components exposed by Victory to customize the charts according to your needs. For example, if you want to add a line and data points to the area chart, you would need to additionally include VictoryLine and VictoryScatter components. Victory Native React Native Echarts and are similar in usage. Both libraries centralize data and styles within the configuration options. They are more like fully featured tools that allow you to transform the charts by modifying the configurations. Comparatively, the configuration code for is simpler, but it may lack some advanced customization options. For example, enabling animation or setting a specific starting value for the y-axis might not be achievable. React Native Chart Kit React Native Chart Kit In terms of writing code, I prefer the configuration-based approach. It is straightforward, easy to grasp, and can improve development efficiency for developers. Development Experience Comparison of Rendering Performance When it comes to regular charts such as area, bar, and pie charts, all three libraries perform well with small datasets, providing smooth rendering. However, as the data size reaches the order of thousands, noticeable performance differences become apparent. and experience significant lags and, in the case of larger datasets, Victory may even crash. On the other hand, benefits from ECharts' default data sampling mechanism, which reduces the number of data points when rendering large amounts of data. This helps avoid overcrowding the chart and performance degradation. ECharts automatically sample a relatively small number of data points based on the width of the plotting area and the number of data points, reducing computational and rendering time. Victory Native React Native Chart Kit React Native ECharts Leveraging this mechanism, demonstrates significantly better rendering performance when dealing with large datasets. React Native ECharts Here is an example of rendering an area chart using randomly generated 200 data points: As we can see, still maintain relatively good rendering performance. On the other hand, adjustments to data and coordinates are required when using the other two libraries to meet specific business requirements. React Native ECharts When we increase the test data to 2000 points, exhibits noticeable rendering lag, while throws an error stating Maximum call stack size is exceeded. Meanwhile, , benefiting from data sampling, still deliver satisfactory rendering results: React Native Chart Kit Victory Native React Native ECharts Comparison of Chart Variety Currently, supports a relatively limited number of chart types. It mainly covers six specific types of charts, which can fulfill most basic business requirements. However, if there is a need for other types of charts, additional libraries may need to be introduced. React Native Chart Kit React Native Chart Kit The following image shows most of the chart types that can cover, and it can be seen that the variety is relatively limited. 😭 Currently, the developers are continuously maintaining the library and may add more chart types in the future. React Native Chart Kit When it comes to chart variety, offers a greater range compared to . However, due to the nature of Victory's approach, which involves assembling components to create different types of charts, developers need to have a good understanding of component composition and possess solid coding skills. Additionally, the examples provided on the official Victory website may not be beginner-friendly, as the supported chart instances may not be immediately intuitive. Overall, using requires a higher level of coding proficiency and logical thinking. Victory Native Victory Native React Native Chart Kit Victory Native The following image showcases the main components provided by Victory on their official website. It can be observed that there are significantly more options available compared to . Moreover, primarily relies on combining these components, such as points, lines, areas, and axes, to create various types of charts. This allows for a broader range of supported chart types. React Native Chart Kit Victory Native You can directly refer to the examples on the ECharts official website, where various types of charts are showcased in a highly intuitive manner. Developers can use the configuration options to customize the charts according to their needs. Currently, supports rendering most of the chart types that ECharts offers. React Native ECharts React Native ECharts utilizes the SVG data from ECharts, which means users can render a wide range of different chart types by simply following the examples provided on the ECharts website and configuring their settings😍 React Native ECharts The following image showcases some chart types that cannot be easily implemented or require complex combinations using other libraries. However, with , you can effortlessly achieve these charts by referring to the documentation🚀 React Native ECharts Comparison of Guide Getting started with primarily involves using the documentation and configuration options provided by the library's authors, which can be found on GitHub or npm. By referring to these resources, developers can easily implement chart rendering in their projects. React Native Chart Kit On the other hand, has its , where developers can assemble charts by referring to the provided components and related code in the documentation. However, the website offers a large number of components and elements, making it difficult for developers to quickly find the desired examples. Implementing complex charts often requires developers to think of their implementation methods, which can lower development efficiency. Victory Native website Compared to and , has several advantages: Victory Native React Native Chart Kit React Native ECharts Documents The description provided in the of is more clear, comprehensive, and provides ready-to-use examples. Developers can easily understand the library's features, configurations, and usage through the documentation. Additionally, there are numerous available on the official ECharts website, which further assists developers in quickly implementing various types of charts. official documentation Victory Native usage examples Online Preview Just like the ECharts library, provides an online preview and testing support. You can directly copy the chart configuration to see how it renders in React Native. React Native ECharts Click here for an online preview Multiterminal code also support component reuse on the web, enabling cross-platform requirements and achieving code sharing across multiple platforms. It effortlessly achieves code uniformity and ensures consistency of charts across different platforms, thus enhancing our development efficiency. React Native ECharts Support for two rendering modes supports two rendering modes: Svg and Skia. It is implemented based on react-native-svg and react-native-skia. react-native-skia utilizes the Skia Graphics Library, which is a high-performance graphics rendering engine that provides faster drawing and rendering speeds. It is a boon for developers who want to experience Skia's capabilities. React Native ECharts Conclusion Finally, let's compare the performance of these three chart libraries from the following perspectives: React Native Chart Kit Victory Native React Native ECharts Basic Chart Suitability ✅ ✅ ✅ Chart Variety ➖ ✅ ✅ Rendering for Large Data ➖ ➖ ✅ Ease of Development ✅ ➖ ✅ Multiterminal code ➖ ➖ ✅ It is undeniable that both and are excellent chart libraries for React Native. However, the newly introduced has certain advantages in terms of applicability and ease of entry. Especially in some relatively complex but common charts, such as path charts, radar charts, and candlestick charts, provides examples that allow developers to easily implement them by simply modifying the data in the example code. Victory Native React Native Chart Kit React Native ECharts React Native ECharts In these scenarios, is highly recommended as it greatly improves development efficiency. Additionally, for projects with a high demand for various types of charts, the rich collection of chart examples provided by makes it easier for us to handle diverse chart requirements😁 React Native ECharts React Native ECharts Author: xuanweiH Also published . here

React Native ECharts VS Victory Native VS React Native Chart Kit: Which Solution is Better?

While working on , we’re seeing a lot of different visualization libraries. Given that Cube.js provides an API layer for analytics on top of an SQL database and doesn’t play on the visualization field, any charting library can be used to build dashboards with it. That’s why we’re always on a search for a nice and developer-friendly visualization library. Cube.js The list below is for React-specific libraries. I’ll try to build almost the same stacked bar chart with axes formatting, legend and tooltip using every one of it. For the data backend, we’ll use Cube.js hosted on Heroku. I’ll also use , which uses the technique and doesn’t render anything itself, letting us build whatever we want with any charting library. Cube.js React binding render props Along the way, I’ll also use two very handy libraries— and for dates and numbers formatting, respectively. moment.js numeral.js As a data input, we are going to use the method from the Cube.js Javascript client. It returns an array of data, and in our case, it looks like this: resultSet.chartPivot() [
  { : , : , : , : },
  { : , : , : , : },
  …
] "x" "2017-01-01T00:00:00.000" "completed, Orders.count" 208 "processing, Orders.count" 252 "shipped, Orders.count" 233 "x" "2017-02-01T00:00:00.000" "completed, Orders.count" 188 "processing, Orders.count" 209 "shipped, Orders.count" 222 Now, let’s jump to the list. If you don’t see your favorite library or just want me to add one more—just ping me in this Public Slack Community . I’m happy to add as many libraries as I can to the list. Recharts provides a set of modular charting components and does a great job by letting you mix those components together to easily build things like a . Recharts composed line and bar chart It is the most popular library to date. It has more than 11k stars on Github, but a huge number (600 to date) of open issues as well. The documentation is quite extensive but lacks details in some parts. You can find a bunch of examples at , which could be a good starting point to building your own charts. Rechart’s website Recharts has a bunch of options for customization. Besides that, it allows low-level customization via custom SVG elements. Here is how to build our stacked bar chart in Recharts: In this and all the following examples I'm using colors, dateFormatter, and numberFormatter variables. Here is how they are defined: numberFormatter = numeral(item).format( ); dateFormatter = moment(item).format( ); colors = [ , , ]; const => item "0,0" const => item "MMM YY" const "#7DB3FF" "#49457B" "#FF7C78" ({ resultSet, colors, dateFormatter, numberFormatter }) => ( <BarChart data={resultSet.chartPivot()}>
      <XAxis tickFormatter={dateFormatter} dataKey="x" />
      <YAxis tickFormatter={numberFormatter} />
      {resultSet.seriesNames().map((series, i) => (
        <Bar
          stackId="a"
          dataKey={series}
          name={series.split(",")[0]}
          fill={colors[i]}
        />
      ))}

It is developed by , which has other solid open-source libraries besides Victory as well. It is the only library on the list that also works with React Native. Victory Formidable It’s the second most popular library after Recharts with more than 7K stars on Github, but has 5 times less open issues than Recharts. Victory has a . community chat on Spectrum It is and has an . well documented examples gallery Victory comes with two themes: grayscale and material, and allows you to create customer themes to have a consistent look across all the charts. Below you can see the code for our stacked bar chart with Victory: transformResult = resultSet.chartPivot().map( ({ : element.x, : element[series] })); ({ resultSet, dateFormatter, colors, numberFormatter }) => ( <VictoryChart

Nivo As well as Recharts and Victory, is built on top of D3 and is React-specific. But unlike previous libraries it is not composable. It provides one component per chart type and this component is configured via multiple props. Nivo is distributed as a set of packages for specific chart types, for example, @nivo/bar. So, one needs to install a specific package to use a specific chart type. Nivo The project itself is quite active; it has more than 5k stars on Github and almost 300 members in the . community chat It has interactive documentation, where you can build config for your chart. Although it is nice, It lacks a good old text API reference and search option. It also has a . It helped me a lot to shortcut the time to build the first chart. Same as Victory, Nivo lets you create your own theme to have a consistent look across all the charts. Storybook with examples We’re going to use the @nivo/bar package for our stack bar chart; you can find a code sample and demo below. CodeSandbox ticksFormmater = { valueIndex = data.map( i.x).indexOf(value); (valueIndex % .floor(data.length / ticksCount) === ) { dateFormatter(value);
  } ;

BizCharts is React-specific visualization library based on , a visualization grammar. It is backed by Alibaba and plays nicely with Ant Design Framework. BizCharts G2 It has almost 4k stars on Github, but the majority of development is in Chinese, same for most of the documentation. I think the team is doing a great job of translating the docs, but it is still a work in progress. Though, it lacks documentation in English the API is pretty straightforward. The only hard thing is to re-format the data into the specific format for the stacked chart. stackedChartData = { data = resultSet
    .pivot()
    .map( yValuesArray.map( ({ : resultSet.axisValuesString(xValues, ), : resultSet.axisValuesString(yValues, ), : m && .parseFloat(m)
      }))
    )
    .reduce( a.concat(b)); data;
}; ({ resultSet, dateFormatter, colors, numberFormatter }) => ( <Axis name="x" label={{ formatter: dateFormatter }} />
        <Axis label={{ formatter: numberFormatter }} name="measure" />
        <Tooltip />
        <Geom
          type="intervalStack"
          position={`x*measure`}
          color={["color", colors]}
        />
        <Legend itemFormatter={item => item.split(",")[0]} />
      </Chart>
    )}
  />
); const => resultSet const ( ) => { xValues, yValuesArray } ( ) => [yValues, m] x ", " color ", " measure Number ( ) => a, b return export default < = { } }} = = > Chart scale {{ x: tickCount: 10 height {400} data {stackedChartData(resultSet)} forceFit . Give it a try in the CodeSanbox React-vis is being developed by Uber and seems quite active with 5.4k Github stars, 150 open issues, and a lot of recent commits. It is modular, like most of the libraries on the list. It comes with some nice default styles, which should be imported separately as CSS files. React-vis Same as Nivo, it has Storybook with examples. The components API is also well documented. On the customization side you can control the look and feel via custom CSS styles. React-vis also provides a specific component for building custom SVG charts— . CustomSVGSeries The API is similar to Victory's. You can see I'm using almost the same transformResult from Victory's snippet. transformResult = resultSet
    .chartPivot()
    .map( ({ : .parse(element.x), : element[series] })); ({ resultSet, dateFormatter, colors, numberFormatter }) => ( <XAxis tickFormat={dateFormatter} tickSize={8} />
    <YAxis />
    {resultSet.seriesNames().map((series, i) => (
      <VerticalBarSeries
        cluster="stack 1"
        key={i}
        color={colors[i]}
        data={transformResult(series, resultSet, dateFormatter)}
      />
    ))}
    <DiscreteColorLegend
      colors={colors}
      items={resultSet.seriesNames().map(i => i.split(",")[0])}
      orientation="horizontal"
      style={{ position: "absolute", left: 130, bottom: -30 }}
    />
  </XYPlot>
); const ( ) => series, resultSet, dateFormatter => element x Date y export default < = = = = > XYPlot xType "time" height {300} width {500} stackBy "y" . Give it a try in the CodeSanbox If you don’t see your favorite library or just want me to add one more—just ping me in this Public Slack Community . I’m happy to add as many libraries as I can to the list.

Five Trending React Visualization Libraries 

Today, I watched an episode of "The Ben and Marc Show", where Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz discussed how Trump's victory could change everything for tech startups. Initially, I thought, "Politics isn't really my thing," but something caught my attention, so I decided to watch. And you know what? I didn't regret it for a second. They talked about how the last four years have been a real challenge for those in the tech industry. Constant pressure and unclear regulations have been stifling innovation. The crypto industry suffered particularly hard. Imagine this: some legally compliant companies were simply kicked out of the banking system! "It was a direct act of authoritarian violence."
- Marc Andreessen Without access to banking services, companies were forced to operate exclusively in cash, which created enormous problems. Holding large amounts of cash is not only inconvenient but also dangerous—there's an increased risk of theft and other crimes. Marc and Ben noted that for tech companies, this is even more challenging than for businesses in the marijuana trade, which have faced similar difficulties. Tech companies rely on investments and rapid turnover of funds, and operating solely in cash is simply unrealistic. How can you attract investments if you don't have a bank account? How do you pay employees and suppliers? This threatened the very existence of innovative projects. An interesting fact about the Amish: it turns out that the Amish, who historically don't vote at all, came out to vote for Trump because their farms were subjected to raids for selling unpasteurized milk. At the same time, car theft is barely considered a serious crime. Marc and Ben gave an example: "If you steal a car and just go for a joyride, it's practically not a crime. But if you sell unpasteurized milk, expect the FBI at your doorstep." It's both funny and sad. This shows how selectively laws are applied and how ordinary people and businesses suffer. To stand up for the interests of startups, Marc and Ben became actively involved in politics. They supported candidates who advocate for technology and development, rather than bans and restrictions. To do this, they created an organization called Fair Shake—a political action committee (PAC) that funded campaigns for pro-technology candidates. Their efforts paid off: many of the candidates they supported won their elections. I really liked how they said, "Someone needs to stand up for IT and startups, and we're doing it." A beautiful example of democracy! Their optimistic outlook for the crypto industry is particularly encouraging. Although I personally don't use cryptocurrency much, I was always annoyed by how Telegram's crypto project was shut down. As an IT entrepreneur, I didn't like that at all. I wonder if the situation will change under Trump. Maybe government decisions will be reconsidered, and Pavel Durov will finally be able to implement what he planned. They also discussed artificial intelligence. Marc and Ben emphasized how important it is to support innovation in AI and not stifle it with excessive regulation. I myself am working on a startup in the AI field and see how quickly new technologies are taking over the world. Of course, they can be intimidating, and they mustn't fall into the wrong hands. But it's necessary to maintain a balance and allow them to develop, to trust the process, and act based on circumstances rather than preemptively banning everything. In Europe, where I am, some AI features appear later due to stricter regulations, and that's not the most pleasant trend. At the same time, I haven't heard of any tragic or truly frightening situations since the appearance of GPT-3.5. Moreover, they drew attention to energy and its connection to AI. Developing artificial intelligence requires enormous computational power, which means energy. They discussed the possibility of reviving nuclear energy as a clean and efficient source. An interesting thought. Perhaps in the future, this will help solve many problems. In fact, if the news is to be believed, this is already happening. It seems that Google and Amazon have begun constructing mini nuclear reactors. What do you think—will it now be easier for startups and tech companies to thrive? Maybe it's time for us to take part in shaping the future of technology and not stand on the sidelines. If you're interested, watch the episode yourself — here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4jWb-0nj44&embedable=true I think you'll find it thought-provoking too.

How Trump's Victory Could Reshape the Future for Startups

In a long-overdue and resounding triumph for content creators everywhere, Tech-Gate.org, the notorious haven for copyright theft and flagrant DMCA violations, has been yanked from Google's index and de-hosted. This victory marks a significant win in the battle against those who believe that stealing the hard work of writers and journalists is not only acceptable but somehow defensible. Tech-Gate.org, a parasitic website that ballooned to over 1000 DMCA takedown notices listed in the Lumen database was a blight on the digital landscape. For years, it operated with brazen impunity, pilfering articles, images, and other creative works from unsuspecting authors and news outlets. The site shamelessly claimed stolen content as its own, all while maintaining an air of sanctimonious self-righteousness. The audacity of Tech-Gate.org knew no bounds. It was not just a minor player in the world of copyright infringement; it was a veritable cesspool of theft and deception. This wasn’t a case of an occasional misstep or a small-scale operation. No, Tech-Gate.org made a mockery of intellectual property laws with over a thousand documented violations, turning content creators into nothing more than unwitting donors to its exploitative agenda. For far too long, the operators of Tech-Gate.org thrived in their digital den of iniquity, using clever tricks and legal loopholes to keep their illegal activities out of reach. They assumed that their underhanded tactics could keep them shielded from the consequences, dismissing the rightful complaints of those whose work they had stolen. But now, as the dust settles on this monumental victory, we can finally say a resounding farewell to Tech-Gate.org. The removal of their site from Google’s index and their de-hosting serves as a powerful message: theft of intellectual property will not be tolerated, and those who engage in such nefarious activities will be held accountable. Many websites, including reputable news platforms, often source information or data from other sites. However, they typically take the time to learn, analyze, and carefully write their own articles, adding value by presenting the information in their own unique voice and style. It usually involves proper research, fact-checking, and original commentary that transforms the sourced material into something new and informative for their readers. In contrast, Tech-gate.org decided to take a more problematic approach by outright scraping content from other websites. Rather than creating original pieces or offering fresh perspectives, they republish writers' work under their own names without any meaningful alterations. While they may include a hyperlink back to the original source, these links are often embedded with irrelevant and spammy anchor text. Let this be a lesson to others who might be tempted to follow in Tech-Gate.org’s reprehensible footsteps. The digital age does not mean that the hard work of writers, journalists, and other content creators is up for grabs. The theft of creative works is not a victimless crime; it undermines the very essence of artistic and journalistic integrity. To all those who have been wronged, the victory is a reminder that justice is not only possible but inevitable. It stands as a testament to the relentless efforts of those who fight to protect intellectual property and the belief that every creator deserves their due respect and recompense. As I finally close this chapter, l ask you all to remain vigilant and committed to defending the rights of creators everywhere. Tech-Gate.org may be gone, but the fight against copyright infringement continues. Let this victory fuel our resolve to uphold the principles of creativity and integrity.

Goodbye: A Major Victory In The Fight Against Copyright

The Noonification: Bitcoin Is Snailing to Global Victory (12/21/2023)

If governments had been orange-pilled first instead of citizens, it would have been the end of finance as we know it. A Brief History before UN Bitcoin My idea of Bitcoin starting in the hands of multiple governments and not a handful of individuals is one I find too good to leave to only one blog article. Two days ago, I introduced you to this idea with the article ‘ ’. To recap, I mentioned how it would have been genius beyond Da Vinci, Gauss and Einstein combined, if the great Satoshi Nakamoto had, on that fateful day when he published the Bitcoin white paper online, taken a major step back and stopped his finger from pressing the send key. The Big Boy train that Bitcoin missed “If I do this, Bitcoin will likely become a global phenomenon. But governments will have been left behind so they will play to sabotage the technology. They won’t be glad to play catch up. But if I get them in the lead, they will gladly play lead while citizens gladly play catch up. Citizens have unlimited energy for playing catch up to such great power - the power to own money. Satoshi’s personal notes (Timeline - UN Bitcoin). Moreover, the power is now decentralized and decentralization is by definition the foray of the individual”- I lack the philosophical and other devices of knowledge to properly capture what this means. But I think we would have gotten something to rival the very power of the internet itself. Something to rival any emerging AI technology. and surpass Something powerful enough to finance continuous human space exploration. So that we would have had humans on the moon this year, and humans on Mars 2 years later. The thing is, this would be a financial revolution as momentous as the invention of money. Maybe more. When money was invented, the economic energy for trade was finally captured in a singular good, which dramatically improved the efficiency of our markets. For example, prices were cut from an exponential number that increases with the number of market goods to prices only as many as the number of goods – all priced in the good we now call ‘money’. However, the invention of money was challenged by the fact that the power to own money was still vested, apriori, in the hands of Lords, Chiefs, Kings and Presidents of our time. These political rulers could control the money because the supply was centralized. Some gold mine somewhere, some cowrie shells beach somewhere. They could impose exorbitant taxes, they could inflate the currency, they could loot it. To invent a currency immune to all 3 would be magic. Because it would mean the power to control money would now be something everybody and every organization have to earn. Even Kingdoms and Empires. There has to be proof-of-work. Wanna loot someone’s coins? you might be utterly disappointed, embarrassed, and jobless faster than the time it takes a rocket to get into the exosphere. After all, even a King is an individual. This is what UN Bitcoin would have given us. Bitcoin gave us a diluted version of this, so no wonder it is snailing to global victory. Wall Street in the era of UN Bitcoin As I mentioned before, our collective greed would likely push the UN Bitcoin mining hash rate to 500 zetta hashes / second. Let’s go with a modest 50 zetta hashes per second, 100 times the hash rate of Bitcoin in our timeline. The market cap would likely 100x as well to make UN Bitcoin worth 80 trillion US Dollars circa. 2023. Let that sink in. This is almost the current (our timeline) world’s money supply, which is only $83 trillion and almost , so the world’s GDP would have doubled in 14 years! To move from one to 80 trillion dollars in 14 years would have broken Wall Street’s speedometer, with an average yearly return of 400%, ~40 times the growth rate of the S&P 500. the GDP of all countries combined As I mentioned before, this is not wealth replacing our other assets like energy resources, gold, silver, housing, technology companies. It is wealth adding on and boosting them. From hitherto unimagined sources prior to the 2008 market crash. Unlike CDOs, UN Bitcoin would actually be adding valuable things to the world economy. It would also be the greatest story of money to ever tell. The first thing is dramatic expansion of the electricity energy grid. UN Bitcoin would be using stranded energy from nuclear power, volcanoes and renewables to inch us closer to a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale, and away from carbon-pollutant fossil fuels. With such a big market cap, billions of dollars of UN Bitcoin would be changing hands every day around the world, a lot of it going towards carbon capture and storage technologies. This would make many people excited about the future while they earn very handsome salary packages. Me too. The next thing is Wall Street itself. The invention of lecherous instruments like CDOs and Ponzi ‘crypto tokens’ would be banned and canceled because there would be really few people gullible enough to invest in derivative assets that do not provide more value. The idea of ballooning the global debt would be put somewhere in the FED’s not-to-do list and quickly forgotten, with the idea of sustaining the hash rate for the US government put front and centre. The FED would get an honest day job. UN Bitcoin money flows would be huge (billions) and asymmetric. Spread out to all corners of this planet. While the world’s governments would be leading on the mining front, hence collecting those pretty fees before most private enterprises, innovations like the lightning network would be mostly in the private domain. In Africa, it would greatly help sustain livelihoods for the disadvantaged, while growing the middle class in developing countries on the speedy growth of UN Bitcoin. Good housing would be ubiquitous even in slums, using 3D printers of plastic materials. Cheap electricity would be abundant as Bitcoin’s growth takes the electric grid wherever it goes. Cheap electricity would bring piped utilities like fresh water closer to everybody, hence bring cleanliness and disease-free environs even in our slums. World politics, music, fashion, social media, everything would be transformed in wonderful ways. It cannot be, because it is only a fairy tale. But as Walt Disney has shown us, fairy tales should be told. To give us hope and an ideal to look up to. ******************* P.S. >>  Who wants a comic strip?
