Friday Alpha!

Let's Talk $LRC

1/ #ETH fees are painful these days. Anyone who interacts with #DeFi has tears in their eyes when approving a transaction.
2/ Thankfully there are projects like @loopringorg that build the 2nd layer atop of which we can trade our magical tokens in a decentralized manner.
3/ As far as I remember @VitalikButerin has been literally shilling Loopring anywhere he could when people mentioned high #ETH fees.

Examples:

6/ Or on his blog

vitalik.ca/general/2021/0…

note it's a text wall and he only mentions #Ethereum, @loopringorg and @deversifi in it.
7/ Next thing;

@loopringorg stepped up its #DeFi game when it released its own AMM (think @Uniswap) on layer 2.

That was a game-changer. Users and liquidity providers no longer had to pay painful #ETH fees to interact with AMMs.
8/ @loopringorg TVL on 29 Dec 2020 was at mere $1.2M and today, 44 days later its at $240M!

That's a 19900% TVL increase in 44 days. Insane.
9/ What we know what sure is that #ETH2 is still far on the horizon AND we need layer 2 solutions like @loopringorg to keep #DeFi running smoothly and cheap.

2021 will be the year of layer 2 and @loopringorg is far ahead in this game.
10/ But sir, if #ETH2 goes fully live will @loopringorg become irrelevant?

No.

It'll only get better; see this convo between 👇@ChainLinkGod & @VitalikButerin
12/ Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

13/ Extra note; Yes, I'm fully aware of the one-time cost to onboard your assets onto layer 2. If you trade on AMMs more than once a month, this one is for you:

exchange.loopring.io/swap
14/ $LRC is criminally cheap.

Psst.

There is this one weird trick to spot #DeFi gems not many people know about yet

1/ Let's talk about Mcap/TVL Ratio!
2/ In short, this metric shows the ratio of market capitalization over the total value locked in an asset.

The rule of thumb is that the lesser the ratio, the more room to grow the token has.
3/ Where to find that Mcap/TVL metric? Easy! Head over to any @coingecko defi project like @AaveAave and take a look here;

In Aave's example, the ratio is close to 1.00 as its Mcap and TVL are pretty similar.
