Happy 10th birthday Bitcoin, here is your mysterious gift:
The enigmatic and hyped blockchain-focused institution Blockchains LLC will soon be making waves as their launch approaches. Nearly nothing is known about them, but their inscrutable game-plan has been intriguing blockchain and cryptoasset enthusiasts as of late. It was announced that back in 2017, Blockchains LLC had acquired 69,000 acres of land in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial (TRI) Center in northern Nevada “for the purpose of building a better way,” according to their website — whatever that means. To put this in perspective, however, this is more land than the entire country of New Zealand.
So why buy all that land?
Gossip has surrounded Blockchains LLC and Elon Musk. Are they collaborating to build a giant Tesla Smart City based on blockchain tech? There are numerous ties between the two that has allowed such speculation to proliferate. For one, we know that Tesla decided to locate its $5 billion Gigafactory 1 as a neighbor to Blockchains, LLC at the TRI Center. On a side note, Google and many other tech giants have plans to build data centers in the area.
Additionally, Blockchains LLC CEO Jeffrey Berns shared center stage with Elon Musk in Nevada Governor’s Tech Summit. Berns was very optimistic about Blockchains LLC, envisioning its future as he stated “Imagine a world where people can collaborate from anywhere they are, establish rules for their collaboration, exchange value, and have it all enforced by blockchain — not by a government, not by a bank, but by code that’s guaranteed to do what it’s supposed to do. The stuff that is being developed right now is going to change every facet of our life — how we work, how we play, and how we live.”
To add further speculation on a blockchain-based Tesla town, we know that Elon Musk has had plans to create entire futuristic cleantech cities that are completely sustainable. They would include industrial hubs to focus on matters that help solve critical societal challenges and robots utilized for cost-effective delivery applications and testers for Tesla and SpaceX.
Also, does Elon like crypto?
If that doesn’t give you goosebumps of excitement, try this:
Subscribers to YouTube channel Bitcoin Ben got a special surprise when he spilled the beans that Blockchains LLC was planning to build a blockchain-based smart city, fueling additional speculation to an Elon Musk connection. Ben, known for his connections to the CEO of Hodlit.com (another major project with much anonymity), claims to receive much of his insider information from him and others close to the Blockchains LLC project. Ben also let it be known that Blockchains LLC would be buying out many top projects in the space, bringing them under their umbrella corporation. They will be creating an ecosystem that links blockchains together and fosters innovation.
If you’re still not excited, maybe you’ll get hyped about the video Blockchains LLC dropped on October 23 that describes a future where “Trust won’t be implied, it will be guaranteed. Your vote will be your vote, your name will be yours alone. Everything that matters will be protected by a connection that is unbreakable.”
An interesting video that I can’t wait to be clarified!
What we know:
Some things we know for sure about Blockchains LLC is that they are utilizing Ethereum and Ethereum Classic in some way as an infrastructural ecosystem facilitator. Ethereum Classic stands to play a huge role in Blockchains, LLC. Is this the reason why Grayscale’s second highest holding is by far ETC?
Blockchains LLC also has a subsidiary called Blockchains Communications LLC that will provide a fiber-optic communications network that plans to transform the telecommunications industry and showcase blockchain’s real-world use case.
In addition to distributed ledger technological innovations, Blockchains LLC also plans to work on revolutionizing technologies such as AI, 3-D printing, and nanotechnology.
Whatever big plans Blockchains LLC has in store for the future, we will know by November 1st at 8:25pm CET (2:25pm CST) when they announce their launch and outlook. They are in Prague and will be keynoting DevCon IV in the most anticipated announcement in the history of the crypto space.
And as we approach Bitcoin’s 10th birthday this Halloween, I think we can all agree that what Blockchains LLC’s announcement entails — it won’t be a trick, but very much a treat.
