COVID trades have been the most profitable crypto buying opportunities of the last few years.

Here's how to make money by sniping the COVID dumps: 👇

(THREAD)
Let's go back to real beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.

While $BTC had been trending down for the last 8 months, it dumped over 40% on the same day that the SP500 tanked: March 11th.

This is 'The Day Everything Changed'
If you would've had the foresight to BUY on March 11th, your investment would've returned nearly 12x by today.

But you didn't.
The next COVID news that affected BTC came around vaccine hype and rumors.

Concerns around the Astra Zeneca vax lead to a 15% drop on November 26th (exactly one year ago).

Where did $BTC end up? Around 16k. If you would've bought then, you'd be up nearly 4x by now.
Here's spring/summer 2021, where crypto entered a brief bear market.

That last red candle in that circle, July 20th, the SP500 wicked down to test the 50-day moving average on the same day. It held, but the reason it dropped?
Concerns around a second wave propagated by the delta variant. If you would've bought then you'd be up 2x.
Sep 7 2021?

A 20% dip related to COVID unemployment benefits expiring. That trade would have had you up 60% in 60 days.
That takes us today: here's a look at the graph since March 11th, 2020:

You can barely even see the 40% drop.
Here's my final graph I'll leave you with:
Blue: SP500
Light blue: $BTC
Yellow: Mid/Large Cap alts
Orange: $ETH
And you're SELLING, anon?

$SPELL is down over 75%.

Let's talk about the bear case:👇
There's no such thing as a sure thing in crypto, there's no such thing as a perfect protocol.

People ask me often why $SPELL (or any asset) has dipped. Even for a *perfect* asset:

• Markets can be inefficient
• Things take time
• Broader market conditions can be unfriendly
That being said, let's get into some of the reasons $SPELL might:

• fail outright
• take a long time to recover
• underperform on a risk-adjusted return basis

Abracadabra Money's $SPELL token has TANKED over the last couple of weeks.

But maybe things are a lot more bullish than they seem...

Here's how the brand new analytics available on the Abracadabra Money Dashboard tell us we're overdue for a pump:
I think the most direct way to value $SPELL is its cash flows: it's unique in that just about every cent from borrowing activity gets paid out to stakers.

The past 6 weeks have produced an average of $2.33 mm/week. That's about $120 million in yearly revenue.
And that revenue doesn't cost anything. No marketing, no COGS, no interest expense.

Thus, we can value it more or less as pure earnings.

Below are some comps with P/Es that show how $SPELL is very undervalued. Note Maker DAO for an analogous crypto.

Are crazy-high crypto yields sustainable?

A thread on :
• Where crypto yields come from
• Why they're insanely high 📈
• If/when it will all come crashing down 📉

Read on👇

Source: (@hasu and @zhusu, Uncommon Core podcast)
There are three broad types of yields in the market:

• Demand for leverage (margin)
• Native token distributions (token yields from protocols)
• Yield from network activity (cash-flow distributions)

We'll break these down, so if you don't understand, don't panic yet.
1. Demand for Leverage

This yield comes from people/institutions looking to borrow USD to trade crypto. It looks like this:

• You deposit your money into Blockfi/NEXO/etc.
• Institutions and retail investors borrow it
• They make leverage trades
• You get paid interest

Some Monday Morning $SPELL Analysis for all my frogs:

(dubious speculation involved)
First of all? I think the bottom is in:

We held support at the $0.02 level, wicking down below it but with all daily closes above it. Image
And we didn't just 'test' support, we held it, fighting with two cents for 48 hours.

That's not necessary a bullish signal in itself, but we definitely established a short-term floor at $0.02. Image

If you're a $SPELL holder and follow byebyedai.money, you might have noticed that fees have dropped heavily over the last 7 days.

But that could be good for $SPELL in the long term: here's how @danielesesta used smart tokenomics to create a downward-resistant protocol👇
$SPELL, for now, generates fees for stakers of sSpell via three mechanisms:

• Position opening
• Position closing (liquidation)
• Interest on debt position
Unlike other forms of debt, you can pay your interest on your $MIM ( $SPELL's stablecoin ) position all at once:

1. Lock up your collateral for $MIM
2. Your collateral accrues interest
3. You repay all of the debt plus the interest
4. Interest is distributed to sSpell stakers
