AN UPDATE ON THE SOLIDLY WARS.

Featuring ve(3,3), $SOLID, @AndreCronjeTech, and more.

🧵👇
@AndreCronjeTech If you're not caught up already, this thread is a basic (but outdated) primer on Solidly, originally known as ve(3,3):

So how have the Solidly Wars played out?

The below table is what I used to inform my trading strategy.

It shows us the Market Cap/Solidly Token allocation.

Basically, how much you have to 'pay' for exposure to Solidly tokens:
So for Morpheus Swap and Iron Bank, you can pay about $10 for exposure to 1 Solidly token.

Over the last 14 days, the tokens with the cheapest exposure to Solidly performed the best:

• Iron Bank: +276.9%
• Morpheus Swap: +120.3%
• VeDAO: +31.6%
• 0xDAO: +18.9%
Meanwhile, tokens with lower allocations relative to price performed poorly.

On the left: High Solidly allocations relative to Mkt Cap
On the right: Low Solidly allocations relative to Mkt Cap
To me, this shows it's apparent that people want cheap exposure to Solidly.

And the two protocols with the cheapest exposure are STILL Morpheus Swap ($PILLS) and Iron Bank ($IB).

Both have gone on a hell of a run, and remain the cheapest way to get Solidly exposure, for now.
They've switched places, though. While $IB was initially the cheapest way to get exposure, now it's PILLS.

I still hold both, FWIW.
Announcements were also positive price catalysts.

Below is a table of the plans different protocols have with their Solidly allocations.

That makes $PILLS look pretty nice, as it's due to announce what it will do with its allocation any day now.

Meanwhile, 0xDAO and VeDAO are looking like more attractive options than they used to as $PILLS and $IB have pumped.
I still own $PILLS and $IB, but I've shifted my allocation towards $PILLS as it provides cheaper exposure.

Plus, the $PILLS announcement should be a good price catalyst.
Nothing revolutionary there, but I wanted to update on how the thesis has played out and if there's still room to run (I think there is).

Next week, emissions start, and we'll be able to see how much these Solidly tokens are worth.

Should be fun for anyone with $SOLID exposure.

Damn, more twitter censorship. You should be able to go to my profile to read the tweets, it's only blocking on the TL.

Remember when you promised yourself you'd buy the dip back in May 2021?

It's here.

Tons of projects with strong cash flows, good earnings, and ludicrous P/E ratios are all on sale.

Here are the 5 most undervalued protocols by P/E ratio:

🧵👇
First, a finance lesson: P/E ratio means price-to-earnings ratio.

It basically means how much you pay for $1 of yearly cash flow. A low one is generally considered good, a high one is generally considered bad.

Shiba Inu's P/E: Infinity
GM's P/E: 7.29
Tesla's P/E: 136
5. GMX | P/E: 11.6

Every degen's favorite perpetual exchange, GMX is already doing about $6 million a month in revenue that gets distributed to holders via staking.

Since the token launched just five months ago, GMX has continually trended up in price, volume, and revenue. Image

Solidly Swap has officially deployed.

Andre Cronje's DEX governance experiment teased as ve(3,3) is underway, and in 1 week, tokens will begin to come onto the market.

So what's going on? Are Solidly tokens going to moon? And how should you play the launch?

🧵👇
First, a TL;DR on Soldily Swap:

It's new type of DEX, with tokenomics (veTokens) designed to maximize cooperation and fee revenue. It's been airdropped to the top 25 protocols by TVL on $FTM

For a more comprehensive look, check out the thread below:
Solidly launched last night at midnight, but with next to no fanfare. Dani Sestagalli drama really slowed down the hype.

And it takes a while for DEXes to get rolling.

For now, there's almost no liquidity in the system, so trading won't get going until LPs come onboard.

With a circulating market cap of just $16 million, Vesta ($VSTA) has managed to grab an insane amount of attention on Crypto Twitter.

The bull case? It's got the most stacked list of angel investors you've ever seen.

The bear case? The FDV is about $500 million.

My thoughts👇

My thoughts👇
Well, maybe not.

When a protocol has this much VC action, its often assumed that people got in early at ludicrously low valuations.

The token becomes available to the public, and even if it drops in price, VCs can still make a killing
