One thing to think about with the various Ohm forks popping up:
Assuming it's a true fork, each token minted should be backed by 1 * (current index) worth of stablecoins in the treasury...
So for Ohm, that's ~$30 of stablecoins per Ohm token in the treasury (it's actually a bit more).
Ohm is priced at $864 right now, giving it a monetary premium of 28.8x.
TIME is priced at $9,159, but is only at an index of 2.88.
Each TIME is backed by 1 MIM in the treasury, times the index, so that's $2.88 per TIME. It's likely a bit more than this.
So that's a monetary premium of 3180x. Sliiiightly higher than Ohm.
To be fair, TIME probably has a healthier ratio than that. But they strangely don't list their risk-free treasury balance on their site like Olympus does.
Now what about that new fork on Fantom?
Actually a super healthy ratio currently. Market cap is only 2x the risk free treasury balance. For comparison, Ohms is about 30x.
Monetary premium is still ~300x but they have a huge treasury which is kinda interesting.
Anyway, DYOR, don't get too enticed by the high APYs. There's always a downside.

If someone is curious to learn more about crypto, telling them to read the Bitcoin/Ethereum white paper isn’t a great recommendation.
It’s boring. They’re very unlikely to care about it.
Get them set up earning 7-10% on stablecoins. The technical curiosity will follow.
Three ways you can do this right now (disclaimer: I hold all of these platform's tokens):
SAFEST
1. Get USDC from Coinbase 2. Transfer to @MetaMask 3. Deposit in @AaveAave 4. You are now earning 6.26%. DAI interest is slightly higher if you prefer.
MORE INTERESTING
1. Get DAI from Coinbase 2. Transfer to @MetaMask 3. Deposit in @AlchemixFi 4. Borrow max alUSD (50%) 5. Convert alUSD to DAI on @CurveFinance 6. Back to Coinbase 7. Back to Fiat
Your original amount is earning 6.9%, but 50% is back in cash. Basically 14%.
There's one course I took in High School that I still use daily, and that was arguably the most helpful class I ever took:
Research Methods.
Everyone should have to take a class like this.
It was basically a semester of reading scientific research papers and trying to parse them for the takeaways.
Was this a well-done study?
Are the conclusions valid?
How was it done?
What were the conflicts?
What're the caveats?
Did it replicate?
When you take a class like this you realize a few things:
1. Almost no one reports scientific research accurately.
If you're reading or watching the news talk about science you don't really have any idea what's going on because they have no idea what they're talking about.
