Understanding (3,3) – Is @OlympusDAO The Future Of #Cryptocurrency, Or Just Another Ponzi? 👇
1/15 Welcome To Olympus

Though @OlympusDAO's team is mostly anonymous, it is the brainchild of Zeus, who ideals for it to become the #decentralized reserve currency of the #cryptocurrency space.

2/15 Instead of pegging their value to a #FIAT currency, @OlympusDAO seeks to back each of their native tokens $OHM through a basket of #cryptocurrency assets much like a centralized bank.
3/15 However, unlike a centralized bank, decisions would have to be made via voting on proposals in the #DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organisation), preserving the spirit of decentralization and democracy.
4/15 What’s up with the #APY?

One of the reasons that @OlympusDAO gained so much traction early on was the more than 7,000% APY offered, which it claimed was sustainable for an extended period of time.
5/15 @OlympusDAO's success in maintaining those #APYs while not having giant red candles over and over is thanks to its bonding mechanism.
6/15 This allows @OlympusDAO to accrue value for its treasury and #POL (Protocol-Owned Liquidity) over time.
7/15 Is it just another #Ponzi scheme?

As you can see from the project’s runway, it can continue to pay out its current #APYs of over 7,000% for more than a year, even without any new participants.
8/15 Furthermore, the protocol owns almost 100% of its own #liquidity, which means that if people want to buy or sell $OHM, @OlympusDAO will accrue #trading fees.
9/15 However, this does not mean that @OlympusDAO is a fool-proof way to riches, and this is where the infamous (3,3) meme comes into play.
10/15 This concept actually leverages game theory, more specifically, the #PrisonersDilemma. Basically, assuming only two parties are involved, they can:
11/15
1. Both Stake (3, 3) — achieving the best for both themselves and the protocol

2. One Stakes and One Bonds (3, 1) — 3+1 =4 and is still overall good for liquidity and taking $OHM off the open market

3. One sells (1, -1)– where the seller diminishes the other’s effort
12/15 4. Both sell (-3, -3) — creates the worst outcome for both the user, and the protocol.

So, what if everyone sells?
13/15 Well, the short answer is that those who stay staked long enough will not only break even but eventually run a profit.
14/15 Liquidity-as-a-service

With @OlympusDAO success, it has started to accumulate more assets and revenue-generating platforms. Olympus Pro, which provides liquidity-as-a-service, allows other platforms to acquire their own #liquidity as well.
15/15 They’ve also been looking to expand to other chains such as @FantomFDN, and recently started providing their #liquidity as a service feature on the @avalancheavax Chain, which includes notable projects such as @pangolindex and @BenqiFinance.

1/12 In the past few months, $LUNA has been on quite the run. The most memorable period was during the #crypto market crash on the first weekend of December. While other coins were tanking hard, $LUNA not only survived it but went on to make a new high.
2/12 as #LUNAtics, we know that $LUNA is but the base form of the @terra_money blockchain’s native token. Just like how Eevee, a Pokemon, can evolve into many different versions of itself, LUNA has many other derivations (versions) of itself.
