1/ #Kujira is the true successor to all that was good about the #Terra / #Luna / #UST ecosystem.

Forget Terra 2.0, look into Kujira. A thread. 🧡

@TeamKujira rebounded after the Terra collapse with its own chain, exchange, stablecoin & liquidation engine.

All in two months! πŸ‘‡
2/ The team started with a liquidation engine on top of Anchor, but after Terra collapsed, they shifted gears.

They deployed their own chain on Cosmos and started building. FAST.

Now, Kujira is about to make its latest move. πŸ‘‡

3/ I present you their Cosmos native stablecoin: #USK.

This is the missing piece to bring the #Kuji ecosystem together.

The best part? All fees on Kujira network will go to Kuji stakers (see #13).

What about risks/competitors? πŸ‘‡
4/ #USK is an over-collateralized stablecoin pegged to the USD and backed by ATOM and Kuji.

This is very much like #DAI and should work well. This is not UST where the same entity issued Luna + UST with no limit.

The only concern is growth and ATOM. Why? πŸ‘‡
5/ #DAI cannot scale that fast as it is dependent on people minting DAI against collateral.

USK will face similar constraints.

ATOM?

ATOM has no cap on supply & inflates by 10% / year. In this regard, #Kujira is a better collateral to issue #USK.

Why can't USK scale fast? πŸ‘‡
6/ #USK cannot scale beyond 60% of KUJI's market cap & users minting USK against ATOM will eventually be liquidated (due to dilution).

Good thing Kujira has a liquidation engine & can add more collateral types. πŸ˜…

More profits for Kuji stakers (see #13). πŸš€

Competitors? πŸ‘‡
7/ When it comes to the Cosmos / ATOM ecosystem, Kujira is offering a complete package (see #1).

They could even leverage USK as one of the dominant stablecoins on Cosmos.

That will help with scaling.

But, why choose USK or Kuji in the first place?
8/ The Kujira chain + Fin exchange has very competitive fees (0.15% / 0.075%). πŸš€

Plus it integrates perfectly with other Cosmos chains. However, there is a problem.

Growth outside Cosmos is unlikely & adding more collateral types increases risks for #USK holders.

More πŸ‘‡
9/ Kujira is not very decentralized & there are alternatives on #Ethereum

With 75 validators of which the first 4 hold 33% of the voting power, this is a bit concerning (pic)

Plus, if ETH fixes its high fees after going PoS, Kujira will face stiff competition.

For example πŸ‘‡
10/ @LiquityProtocol has #LUSD & #LQTY + you can participate in ETH liquidations via the stability pool.

It's like Kujira, just that it is native to ETH, the best #DeFI chain.

While LUSD lacks an exchange as Kujira has, they have #Curve, #Uniswap, etc.

My assessment? πŸ‘‡
11/ #Kujira & #USK will do great on Cosmos and likely will eat up that market share.

Going beyond that, however, will likely be difficult as they will face stiff competition.πŸ™„

But that is fine. Just don't expect to see them reach the top 10 on CoinMarketCap (see pic).

Why? πŸ‘‡
12/ #Terra / #Luna / #UST reached such levels due to flawed mechanics that were not sustainable.

Terra used ponzi-tokenomics.

#Kujira & #USK are none of that. They will grow organically. πŸ’ͺ

Sustainable returns = Kujira (#RealYield)

Final remarks πŸ‘‡

13/ I expect the APR for Kuji stakers to increase over time, as well as Kuji's price (see pic and #1 pic).

If the ecosystem grows, this is inevitable. Getting in early will give you a nice return.

Some important resources for further study next. πŸ‘‡

βœ… Check their docs: docs.kujira.app/introduction/w…

βœ… Buy Kuji on FIN: fin.kujira.app/trade/kujira14…

βœ… Stake Kuji: blue.kujira.app

πŸ’ŽAll ecosystem fees on Kujira go to Kuji stakers!

1/ Here are my 20 tips for success after 8 years of crypto and living in 7 countries. πŸ‘‡

Tip #18 explains why I posted this.

Ready? Let's go. A thread. 🧡
1️⃣ There is no better buy than #Bitcoin.

Plan to accumulate #BTC so that later you use it as collateral for cash loans.

BTC can become your unlimited credit card as it doubles in price every two years. Never sell it!

Next πŸ‘‡
2️⃣ Taking profit is essential in a bull market.

I suggest you take profit in cash, gold or even BTC (if you sell alts).

Then use that to buy more in the following bear market.

Plan around cycles of 3-4 years (BTC halvings).

1/ I learned an important lesson in this cycle.

Saylor & Su Zhu have demonstrated that being a whale is irrelevant. They made the same rookie mistakes as a newcomer to crypto.

Sounds like me in 2014, just that they lost billions.

Was there no one to advise them?

A thread 🧡 Image
2/ During this bull run, Saylor explained that #Bitcoin cannot correct more than ~50% from the all-time high because "institutions are here".

I was skeptical because history proved otherwise.

So far, #BTC has corrected over 70% & may go lower!

Next πŸ‘‡

3/ Su Zhu, the boss of 3AC hedge fund, lost $2 bil & may go to prison. He FOMOed into the Terra scam & believed #BTC can't fall under $24k

It was obvious that Terra was bound to fail & BTC could crash to $20k in a bear market.

How did they miss this? πŸ‘‡

1/ This is why #Celsius froze withdrawals. πŸ‘‡

They have half a bil in #WBTC at risk of liquidation if they don't add more collateral, i.e. #Bitcoin!

So they stopped withdrawals & added YOUR Bitcoin as collateral to reduce their margin call.

Now standing at $18k / BTC.

Next πŸ‘‡
2/ They added over 2k in WBTC to reduce their margin call from 20k to 18k (see both pics).

Whales and sharks will hunt this margin call... half a billion is a juicy target.

Can they save it? Hard to say.

There is another similar situation πŸ‘‡
3/ #MicroStrategy, with their 130k BTC. πŸ‘‡

They need to add collateral at $21k / BTC or they face margin calls!

Sure they may be able to do it without a sweat, but these companies are putting themselves at huge risk.

Celsius already REKT its users to save itself.

1/ I figured up Justin Sun's game with #USDD.

It's plainly obvious.

He plans to finish what Do Kwon failed to do.

Buy as much #BTC as possible now & then when it pumps, print more #USDD until the limit!

He's going long on BTC & will cash in into #USDD.

Next πŸ‘‡
2/ They just bought 100 mil USDT worth of BTC in their reserve. They used to have 240 mil USDT before (see pics).

If Justin plays this right, he can print 10x more USDD in the future just due to BTC appreciating in price.

If he plays it wrong, he will risk USDD de-pegging. πŸ‘‡
3/ Luckily, he has 7 bil in #TRX market cap to defend the USDD peg as USDD mcap is still low.

With a bit of luck, USDD won't grow too much and during the coming bull market he can cash in billions as BTC / TRX pumps.

Not a bad game plan. Do Kwon will be jealous. πŸ‘‡

1/ I received a lot of requests to look into #Freeway.

It promises 43% yield/year. πŸ€”

After Anchor crashed, many of you are eager to lose your money again. I have to oblige & warn you again!

"Is it safe? Should I send them all my money?"

Time to find out.

An exposΓ© thread πŸ‘‡ Image
2/ What is Freeway?

A rebrand of AuBit, founded in 2017.

They started the old fashion way in TradFi & then realized crypto is the new ball game.

Enter Sadie, a new fresh face with experience in crypto (the "CEO").

Spot anything suspicious? πŸ‘‡ Image
3/ Their whole team is made of old hats with a lot of TradFi experience turned into "crypto experts".

Sadie is just the new face of the rebranded AuBit now called Freeway. She's after your cash & she's excellent at marketing.

So what is going on here, really? πŸ‘‡ Image
