Zero loan protocol from @SovrynBTC is about as mind-boggling as #bitcoin itself🤯

A short thread with some... Philosophy? Let me know if you agree with these concepts & RT to spread the word.
🧵
To start, I love the freedom of it all.👑
You loan from yourself, mint some coins for yourself, have to pay back to yourself, and lock up your own collateral, for you. 🫵
Truly you are "Your Own Bank" as intended by #bitcoin. 🦾
If you have bad lending habits, others will liquidate you. The community keeps you honest.
Your risk is fully your own: appetite for a timely 110%? Go 11X margin long! 150%? Safety first. Truly want to set and forget? Consider 300-500%.
Mechanisms like redemption and the stability pool ensure the value of what you loan, and incentivize that people keep ZUSD stable and create arbitrage opportunities.
Again a community service, resembling the PoW mining decentralized fee market, now accounting for value.
Zero is like an atomic swap mechanism.
I don't need to sell, and can obtain another asset for my #bitcoin. I don't swap with anyone but myself: it's all under control of my own keys. In a way, I migrate my bitcoin value to another layer where value is expressed in fiat.
Zero is a time machine. Say you loan $ today against a portion of your #bitcoin and leverage-buy. You pay back later when the price is much higher.
You needed to sell less at a later stage and thus transferred risk through time and transformed it into value.
Zero allows you to rent out your bitcoin. 0% interest and no payback period limitations. Is that really a loan? It's an extension of your #bitcoin, a means to extract it's value into the real world without selling it.
Finally: Zero allows any pleb to live like a fiat millionaire and loan based on your assets, however small.
This is how rich fiat folk evade capital gain taxation in many cases. Or how @elonmusk was about to buy Twitter, but then didn't because.
Last but not least, no need to further spam #SuperHodl which is an extension of the value Zero offers. Please look at my profile.
Tagging @EdanYago and @lightcoin whom I challenge for some additional thoughts/insights (or to tell me if I went way too deep into the 🐇🕳️...)

#SuperHodl Day # 11 on Zero @SovrynBTC
Boring sideway price action.

#SuperHodl Says: No Change !

Anybody still intoxicated from that buy yesterday?

Realize these are "free sats" coming out of #bitcoin's price increase only. Stack while having a big cushion on the reserve.
I will look into adding the effective liquidation price as well (incl. reserve) & wanted to get the "No-Trade" signal out there already.

Tagging @Keinor @StackingSaunter @cabincryptoguy
Happy #HODL!

#SuperHodl is in buy mode for the first time! Use your #bitcoin in a managed collateralized 0% loan from @SovrynBTC.

Please see the dash for actions to take. Let me know if I can help clarify any steps / numbers / graphics.

See below for some notes. Image
It took me some time to update all this and execute myself. The price is moving all the time, so the numbers may already be out of date.

The most important is to obtain the # of ZUSD from Zero that gives you a collateral ratio of 250%.
Adding very small amounts of RBTC to the collateral is difficult in the GUI (@lightcoin feedback ;p). I rounded up the number the algo gave me and ended up slightly above 250% after that.
Remember kids, it is a manual trial, none of this is perfect or algorithmic in any way.

Short mini-tutorial for those starting out with @SovrynBTC e.g. #DeFi on #bitcoin. Use your coins without KYC, lending pools, liquidity pools, spot, margin and limit trading, ... and of course #GetOnZero!

A short thread on my @RSKsmart onboarding experience. It may help you!🧵
First things first. You need a wallet that supports RSK!
Beyond @MetaMask, ..., I prefer a hardware wallet and happened to have a @Ledger.
It supports RSK /w the RSK app, which is not supported in Ledger Live. So you can connect to Sovryn and RSK, but won't see TXs. What to do?
Pro tip: you can connect your Ledger on app.mycrypto.com and use it to transact on the RSK main chain! You will need this later on. For now, it can already help you to identify which addresses you have on RSK. If you connect to Soryn with your HWW, the address is the same.

Short update on #SuperHodl, the automated savings algo based on Zero loans by @SovrynBTC. Still alive & still sim. only:
- data analysis: the algo vs price trajectories (#bitcoin & alts backtests, forecasting)
- algorithm improvements (liquidation likelihood vs mean gain)
🧵👇
#bitcoin is a good coin. Like, statistically and historically, it has performed very well on the algorithm.
We have now ran the algo on DOGE, BSV, MIOTA and XRP. The algorithm survives none of the pump 'n dump schemes that these coins represent.
No surprise here :-)
The algorithm shows, in price forecasting, that Zero-loan liquidation is possible if average daily price drops are large enough (for long enough periods of time). In backtesting, it's all good.
The algorithm cannot do magic. Several safety mechanisms have improved the resilience.
