What is a good way to DCA into $ETH at prices lower than most can get?
- You should buy liquidations.

How to do it without a bot?
- Provide $LUSD into the Stability Pool in @LiquityProtocol and chill.

Tetranode bought $ETH at $849 yesterday. You could do it too.

Details: 🧵👇 Image
If you are interested in how @LiquityProtocol works, check the thread below.

In short, it's like Maker but instead of DAI it issues $LUSD and only accepts $ETH as collateral which makes it fully resistant to centralization risks.

The Stability Pool in Liquity is a pool of $LUSD which is used to liquidate risky loans (when collateralization ratio drops below 110%).

It keeps the protocol solvent and allows LUSD depositors (Stability Providers) to participate in liquidations and profit from them. Image
When Stability Providers liquidate risky loans, they essentially buy discounted $ETH (~10% below market price) for their $LUSD.

It's like DCAing into $ETH at a discount when there is blood on the market. Image
If it wasn't good enough, Stability Providers also earn $LQTY on their deposits - it's an incentive to always keep a healthy amount of $LUSD to maintain the system solvency.

$LQTY APR sits at 18% now which is a really nice return in the current market conditions. Image
The average 7-day APR in the $LUSD Stability Pool which takes into account both $LQTY rewards and liquidation gains is...

751% 🤯

@LiquityProtocol is this real?

dune.com/dani/Liquity Image
DCAing into $ETH by buying liquidations while being paid for holding a stablecoin sounds almost too good to be true. But this is how it works.

Your risk is that $ETH goes lower. But we don't know it and this is also why we decided to DCA in the first place, isn't it?
There is one more way how you can profit from $LUSD. Check the thread below to find out.

The future of web3 engagment is round the corner.

@bonus_block is transforming user acquisition with AI-driven targeting and on-chain activity rewards.

It's a new undiscovered territory which may be worth billions of dollars.

Short thread on BonusBlock and $BONUS 👇 Image
End of Spray and Pray Era

Current methods of attracting users to web3 protocols often rely on imprecise strategies like broadly targeted airdrops or testnets.

They often attract value-extractors rather than real users and don't guarantee long-term value or engagement.
End of Costly User Acquisition

Current methods may not be viable for lower valuation applications due to the prohibitive costs or the inefficacy of broad targeting techniques.

All done.

But people are still hungry and come up with new ideas.

See what they are up to and what GPT-4 can deliver: Image
GPT-4 is the latest release of the smart chatbot from OpenAI.

See a few examples and tell me we are not going to be replaced by AI very soon.

GPT-4 is not only "smarter" than its predecessor.

It can also accept VISUAL inputs!

Is Blur OpenSea killer?

I'm not sure but I can see why this narrative can have legs:

➡️ 5x higher volume
➡️ 5x lower valuation (OpenSea raised at $13B)

People buy a token because they believe the price will go up.

Above "fundamentals" justify that $BLUR is undervalued. Image
Answering your questions:

➡️ I know there is a lot of wash trading to farm $BLUR
➡️ I know OpenSea valuation would be much lower today
➡️ I don't think it matters in the short term to propagate this narrative

$BLUR is a short term trade for me, not a long term hold (so far).
I don't consider myself as a good trader and I'm often wrong in the short term.

But I like narrative plays.

Check out the $BLUR investment thesis presented by better traders, like @Crypto_McKenna:

Big players like @a16z are depositing into @SolidlyDEX and @solidlizardfi.

Protocols are legitimized, TVL goes up...

Bullish for $SOLID and $SLIZ, right?

Well... Not really.

A short lesson what makes Solidly forks successful long term as people seem to have forgotten. Image
➡️TVL is a vanity metric

TVL doesn't mean anything if it's not sustainable.

@a16z is depositing into many protocols because they offer high APRs on the tokens they hold.

When new forks show up and their APRs will be higher, farmers will move there. Image
➡️Depositing into a protocol is not bullish

If your bull case for a protocol is "a16z deposited", think again.

If a big player deposits into a protocol to farm and dump its token, it's not bullish.

On the contrary, it's bearish because of a constant selling pressure. ImageImage
