An on-going list of ๐งต Iโve written on projects & narratives.
I didnโt expect followers so ๐, figured Iโd organize.
In crypto since 2013, and VC tech industry since 2008 as a 3x founder and investor. I write from that POV.
Give me a follow if you enjoy or want to connect ๐
/ $LUNA
A #LUNAtic since early 2021. @terra_money is my highest conviction bet on my thesis around growth and utility of stable coins in crypto. With $UST as itโs core product, itโs the perfect blend of GTM strategy, product, design, team, community, investors.
Getting a lot of qโs on what is the play? Quick ๐งต
๐น $LUNA bullish, $UST peg and demand ๐
๐น $FXS bullish, $FRAX demand ๐
๐น $BTRFLY bullish, $UST to farm $ASTRO
๐น $CVX ๐ maker - ULTRA bullish because top DAOs mentioned have 5%, and not all $CRV votes.
@CurveFinance is a stable swap AMM and one of its core products is 3pool which is a combo of USDT USDC DAI since the early days
3/
@CurveFinance is not just cheap swaps, itโs critical function is as a โstability schelling pointโ serving as a peg stability manager of sorts as @samkazemian points out
Terra $LUNA is top 10 mcap and top 3 TVL without a premium incentivized DEX. That's about to change with @astroport_fi and a new rush of capital into the ecosystem.
1/ A quick ๐งต on $ASTRO with resources that I found useful to shortcut your research.
2/ $LUNA thesis
In my thesis, I pointed out $ASTRO, along with $MARS would be two of the catalysts for LUNA's next leg of growth.
โก๏ธ LP w/ TKN only, no IL risk, no opportunity cost
โก๏ธ Tokenomics is a liquidity sinkhole
โก๏ธ Protocol Owns Liquidity over time
โก๏ธ Most capital efficient
โก๏ธ Addressable Market is at least 100x soon
โก๏ธ Coming soon 11/29
โก๏ธ Extreme demand as pools filled constantly
โก๏ธ Bancor model easily wins volume share
โก๏ธ Bancor Vortex natively drives protocol owned liquidity
โก๏ธ IL protection & token economics work!
๐ค Only $BNT allows you to HODL & LP at same time
What if there is an L1? ...
โก๏ธ More deflationary than $ETH
โก๏ธ Product is critical for DeFi to scale
โก๏ธ Wins by collaborating with other L1s
โก๏ธ Wins bigger with it's own L1
โก๏ธ As demand grows, price scales exponentially ๐
It is $LUNA and itโs product is - $UST
๐งต/ let's dive in
/ Addressable Market
โก๏ธ Stables are the most important product in crypto.
โก๏ธ Over $100b mcap only - we are early
โก๏ธ Centralized stables USDT ($73b) + USDC ($34b)
โก๏ธ UST at $2.85b (~2.5%)
But if you believe TradFi moves to DeFi rails, there is no ceiling for stables demand
/ DeFi needs a decentralized currency
โThere is demand for a decentralized, price-stable money protocol in both fiat and blockchain economies. If such a protocol succeeds, .. the best use case for cryptocurrencies.โ
