(51/n; @OlympusDAO thread Pt.III)
Any community-governed project must find its own way to deal with coordination attacks.
It’ll be worthwhile to track how well the DAO is doing at remaining decentralized and keeping vulture VCs in check.
(52/n)
Even as APY comes back to Earth, plenty of directions for the DAO to secure a spot in the #DeFi ecosystem remain. @glassnode offered excellent examples:
(53/n)
- “A risk-off asset not exposed to the inflationary, regulatory, or monetary pressures of USD” (Based on recent proposals that have passed, the DAO is actively working on their $DAI problem)
(56/n)
We can make an interesting case for being bullish $OHM. Take a look at this chart from the DAO’s official blog, showing the network’s annualized revenue compared to other #DeFi protocols:
(58/n)
One of $OHM’s strongest points is the clear method of valuing it, namely the number of $OHM outstanding to the RFV of the DAO’s treasury.
However, investors must bet on the treasury continuing to grow.
(59/n) #TradFi natives & institutions may find @OlympusDAO interesting solely because it has clear means of evaluating its current and long-term performance.
(60/n) @OlympusDAO manages a balance sheet of ~$63.9M in assets, with roughly $18.8M in risk-free value and around 7,532 stakers active in the protocol
Their treasury remains resilient and growing despite a crypto market downturn, while the total market cap is reaching ATHs
(61/n)
It's an early experiment, & historical odds suggest something better will replace it, or the protocol will evolve to replace itself.
Time will tell if innovations like $OHM or similar non-pegged #stablecoins are widely adopted or if they can prove their use-cases
(62/n)
It’ll be interesting to see which direction the DAO steers the project from here. They have the war chest, pilot project, community, and momentum to do great things in #DeFi and experimental monetary policy.
(67/n)
- OIP-15 (Proposal): Add $ETH to the Treasury — ETH Bonds, reduce dependency on $USD & $USDC, & target 5% of Treasury risk-free value (RFV) as $ETH
(68/n)
- The @MakerDAO Foundation’s CEO @RuneKek stepped down last week, another significant step for #DeFi and positive development for the currently DAI-backed $OHM
The issue w/ pegging to other cryptos is price volatility. Stablecoins are mainly pegged to $USD, exposing them to US regulation & @federalreserve policy.
(28/n) @OlympusDAO currently focuses on supply+ over price+, w/ the target of having $OHM function as a currency that holds purchasing power regardless of market volatility.
+There are perks for putting one’s resting capital to work in the #DeFi ecosystem to generate revenue.
(3/n) The DAO’s governance manages the monetary policy of @OlympusDAO and its token $OHM, which is a reserve currency backed by a treasury of assets (DAI, FRAX, OHM-DAI SLP, OHM-FRAX LP, and SUSHI rewards from the OHM-DAI SLP)
1. After a massive short squeeze movement you will experience emotions of fomo/panic/confusion:
a. What if it keeps ripping up without me?
b. What Alts will rip now that BTC has ripped up?
1/n
c. Should I short it cause it went up too high?
Be patient and hang tight. The market will always present a new opportunity.
a. In moments like this it is better to stay position-less rather than force a position in now.
2/n
b. Alts typically do not start bull markets, BTC does. So that means on a daily basis BTC needs to put in a higher low and a higher high to show structure change.
3/n
