1/ I see a lot hopium on my feed, but its time for a cold shower.

Are we out of the bear market? Probably not.

Here are 10+ reasons why you don't want to drop the soap. 😂

🚨 Bearish divergence warning on multiple charts.

Lets dive deeper, a thread. 👇 Image
2/ Lets start with stable coins first, then move to more "exotic" assets in crypto (e.g. NFTs/DeFI).

First, #USDC - best centralized stablecoin (aka, they can freeze your money).

See that beautiful top? USDC market cap falling since 1 Mar 2022 + double top = bearish.

Next 👇 Image
3/ Second, #DAI - best decentralized stablecoin (aka, they can't freeze your money).

"LOL you forgot about #UST." No I didn't, keep reading.

Again on DAI, double top + falling mcap = bearish.

Next 👇 Image
4/ What about #UST and #USDT?!

These give FALSE signals. Why false? Because they can't be TRUSTED. Here's why.

UST/USDT = see those lines up. Its mostly fake money/demand.

Real money/collateral is in USDC/DAI.

Don't believe me? Next 👇 ImageImage
5/ #LUSD - like DAI but ETH only as collateral.

Lower highs, falling mcap = bearish.

Still not convinced? OK, see next stablecoin. 👇 Image
6/ #FRAX - better than UST and less manipulation.

Falling mcap = bearish.

BTC is moving up in price while demand for trusted CEX/DEX stablecoins is falling = bearish divergence.

What is a bearish divergence? 👇 Image
7/ Price makes a higher high & an indicator makes a lower high = bearish divergence.

Best example is a higher price with a lower volume than the previous high = time to be careful!

BTC price moving up with falling demand for stablecoins = CRASH???

Is this it? NO! Next 👇 Image
8/ Lets look at #NFTs next.

Overall market volume is tanking = bearish!

Where is all the hype and demand? GONE.

Lets look at some clear NFT examples, including BAYC 👇 Image
9/ My favorite, The #Sandbox, or DIGITAL land!

Sandbox land prices went from average of 5 #ETH to almost 2 for one square!

Volume and prices tanking = bearish!

What about avatar NFTs? Image
10/ Divine Anarchy, one of the best out there, 50% price crash!

Volume and prices crashing = bearish!

Just one random avatar went from 18 ETH listed price to a 0.4 ETH sale! All in 4 months.

What about the biggest name in NFT space - Bored Ape Yacht Club or #BAYC? 👇 ImageImageImage
11/ Oh look BAYC crashed 50% in sales value compared to Sep 2021 and 80% in NUMBER of sales!

How is this bullish exactly? It is not and you should be careful.

But lets look at #DeFI, surely it is bullish? 😂 Image
12/ NOPE. #DeFI all time high was last year...

We still failed to exceed the old total value locked.

At best, maybe DeFI consolidates and won't fall lower.

There is no new money coming in right now.

What about... google trends? 👇 Image
12/ Even google trends is bearish, wtf.

I mean, the current #Bitcoin all-time high from Nov 2021 (69k) made a lower high compared to May 2021 (65k) or Dec 2017 (20k)!

Very curious divergence here for BTC. Retail FOMO (e.g. 2017) has NOT returned since!

So what next? 👇 Image
13/ Keep powder dry in case the market falls lower.

We appear to have topped in 2021, at least for now.

Money is not really coming to crypto right now.

It's all in BTC's hands. Can it rally in 2022 again?

🚨 There is a hidden war on Solana between big players.

Users have no clue, but the consequence of that are endless failed transactions!

There is only so much space available and the ones with the bigger guns win.

Here's what they don't tell you. A thread (1/10). 🧵 Image
2/ Big players on Solana are at war. How?

They DDOS each other for block space priority.

The victims of this war are Solana users. You can't get your transaction confirmed because big players take up all that space for themselves to come on top.

Here's how they wage war. 👇 Image
3/ A specific Solana wallet can be attacked by spamming it from +100 different bot wallets.

You DDOS it every second with the smallest Solana unit = a Lamport or 0.000000001 SOL!

What happens next will surprise you. 👇 Image

🧵 Issuing $100 mil DAI to farm USDe is one thing, issuing billions is asking to get hurt.

Why does MakerDAO plan to risk it and mint $1 bil DAI to farm Ethena yields?

Can DAI depeg when USDe inevitably falls under $1?

A bold move or something else? A thread (1/20). 👇
2/ This post was inspired by AAVE Chan founder @lemiscate who raised the alarm.

TLRD: He's right. MakerDAO actions are reckless and fueled by greed.

But if you take a closer look at the risks for DAI, a new image emerges. 👇

3/ MakerDAO is printing free cash right now, at your expense, of course.

They issued 100 mil DAI which can only be accessed by borrowing it against USDe/sUSDe collateral.

At a HUGE costs for users & mega profits for Maker - 66% APY on 100 mil!

What's really happening here? Image

1/ What Ethena has built is impressive & hard. A short 🧵

The reason every big name is on board is the opportunity for profits.

For every perpetual long in crypto, Ethena will be the counterparty farming the ETH funding rates you pay.

A day after launch, USDe TVL is $300 mil Image
2/ Ethena is impressive due to its scale, complexities required and parties involved, but also benefits.

USDe is a synthetic stable 100% backed by a delta neutral ETH position farming yields:

50% stETH (spot), 3-6% APY
50% ETH short position, funding rates <30% APY

Nice eh? Image
3/ Exchanges (DEX & CEX) are happy because of all that liquidity & volume & fees.

USDe stakers (sUSDe) are happy because the yield is real.

USDe users are happy because they have a censorship resistant stable + ETH users see prices go up.

But at what risks? Plenty of that. Image

🚨 Are Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) creating a ponzi?

▫️ I stake ETH and get stETH
▫️ I re-stake stETH and get lpETH
▫️ I re-stake lpETH and get xxETH
▫️ ...infinity...

stETH lost its peg vs ETH in the past!

This will turn into a giant crash one day.
Image
Image
You cannot create more value from NOTHING!

Restacking and LST tokens start to sound like ponzinomics to me.

Every cycle of re-stacking is just MORE LEVERAGE on the original asset, i.e. Ethereum!

When the peg WILL be lost, it will be BRUTAL.

Plan for it if you use LST. 100%!
Oh and if you think your ETH is safe in stETH, it's not!

You can lose all your ETH by staking. The risk is real and material.

The bigger this LST bubble gets and the deeper you go in the cycles, the higher your risk of losing it all.

If you value your ETH, don't do LST. 👀

🧵 The best trader in the world is Jim Simons.

Average yearly return of 66% for 30 years. His Medallion Fund is open only to his staff.

His secret? Mechanical trading using computers and gazillions of data to predict the future.

He lived in 2023 back in 1988. But there's more! Image
2/ To join him you need a degree in computer science, mathematics, physics or statistics.

Out of 300 employees, 100 have a PhD in the above. If you're a Wall Street trader you wont be hired.

In the beginning, he failed as a trader using traditional methods. Image
3/ As a math genius, he knew he could build an algo to beat everyone else and remove emotion from trades.

“If we have enough data, I know we can make predictions.”

His algo works best at $10 bil before returns decline.

Their data set grows by more than 40 terabytes a day. Image

I've been researching @THORChain

They say you can take loans at:

🔸 0% interest
🔸 no liquidations
🔸 no expiry

What? Here are my findings. A thread. 🧵

(01/16) #RUNE Image
2/ I became intrigued by RUNE pumping after they launched their new lending mechanism.

If their loan terms don't surprise you, then this may:

🔸 They don't even want you to pay back your loan

What's going on here? Red flag or a smart design? Image
3/ Every time you deposit collateral, the lending mechanism uses it to buy RUNE, then sells half to pay you in USD.

Price pumps + they burn RUNE too = less supply

See where this is going?

Note that they LIQUIDATE ALL your collateral!

They don't want you to come back - why? Image
