A SHORT Thread on @ThetaNuts

Let's talk about Options Trading on #Terra #LUNA.

Learning this, when 99% of the space hasn't inherently puts you at an advantage.

/THREAD 🧵
If you are not clear on exactly what options are,

Don't worry anon, I shall simplify these concepts for you.

Then we will discuss options on Terra, and why this is so interesting.

/1
An options contract offers the buyer the opportunity to buy or sell depending on the type of contract they hold—the underlying asset.

Call options and put options form the basis for a wide range of option strategies.

/2
Investors use options to hedge or reduce the risk exposure of their portfolios.

In a bear market, buying put options is a straightforward bear strategy with low risk/high reward potential.

What is a put option?

/3
A put option is a specified amount of an underlying security at a predetermined price within a specified time frame.

Put options increase in value as the underlying asset falls in price, as volatility of the underlying asset price increases, and as interest rates decline.

/4
So now that we've briefly familiarized ourself with options.

Let's talk about #ThetaNuts and its' unique product.

Currently there is no token available.

/5
The weakness of DeFi 1.0 is that there are unsustainable yields.

There is greater focus on ponzinomics which is not sustainable.

To carry us into DeFi 2.0 we need sustainable yields.

DeFi will face pressure this year as TVL increases.

/6
@cronos_chain will easily onboard Theta Nuts with a wide variety of assets.

Traditional finance cannot solve these trading options in a decentralzed manner.

You can trade options with any amount as long as you are willing to pay gas fees.

/7
People are thinking about putting their strategies and businesses on chain. By putting their own protocols on chain.

More vaults are coming up. Currently strikes right now are 10% from current expiry.

You can deposit UST, get premiums in UST. Don't need to swap out yields.

/8
The team is planning to launch their token model in Q1 of 2022:
-Covered calls
-Covered puts
-More options for the system

Yield is not from a token yield farming model.

They created a very sustainable model whereby people can get yield efficiently and sustainably. 

/9
No previous #Luna options markets in the public.

Institutions need market structure and maturity, and need an active derivatives market which options are a part of.

As a market matures, derivatives such as options, forwards and futures will naturally develop to meet more..

/10
Sophisticated demands and to promote liquidity.

Structured products gives one the ability to perform more specific strategies to meet a specific risk-return objective.

They are in talks with regulations and institutions to pass licences forward.

/11
Here are some resources I found useful to learn further.

My Macroeconomic Perspective:

In this market, I remain uncertain of the current movement of the #SP500 and #Bitcoin.

Macroeconomics should be used in tune with fundamental investments.

/THREAD 🧵
In a research paper conducted by the IMF,

Overly optimistic growth expectations for a country "induce economic contractions a few years later.

"This mechanism appears to run through excessive accumulation of both public and private debt"

Let's simplify this...

/1
If a country in general is too positive about economic growth.

The expectations of growth will far exceed the actual growth taking place.

Over a period of time, individuals will see growth metrics showing their optimism was unjustified.

Metrics such as inflation...

The Ultimate MEGA Thread on Qredo.

I've been doing a deep dive on $Qredo and I'm convinced that it is undervalued.

Narrative shifts are constantly changing and will be focused on security as money flows increase.

Here's why Qredo will be more recognised in 2022:
👇

/THREAD 🧵
The simplest way to define #Qredo is: as a solution to trade, transfer and take custody of your crypto on a decentralized network.

As people with become more experienced within this space, it is likely that centralized exchanges will have less crypto stored on it.

/1
To put simply, pressure from regulators will only continue to increase over time.

For the big crypto investors, storing and exchanging assets safely will be of great importance.

Before continuing, ensure you have read this to understand the tech:
