This essay is inspired by Wences Casares’ seminal essay: The case for a small allocation to Bitcoin Summary Regen Network is a fascinating experiment, but it is still just that: an experiment. As such it still has a chance of failing and becoming worthless. In my (subjective) opinion the chances of Regen failing are at least 20%. But after a first year of going from 0 to more than 10,000 wallets, the formation of a deeply liquid interchain carbon market on Osmosis (with a commitment to source 200,000 Nature Carbon Tonnes), and a recent partnership to onboard carbon and ecological credits from 150,000 farmers across 100M hectares of land, it has a good chance of succeeding.
