Your BTC will likely be on Ethereum or another chain to provide liquidity (wrapped - #WBTC).
This is an added risk + you need to trust the smart contracts.
GMX, GMD + other DeFI platforms could get hacked.
Do your due diligence!
Next π
10/ NEVER sell your BTC and NEVER risk it all!
Only BORROW against it (as collateral) if you need cash. Don't sell it!
Then pay back your loan. Don't give up your golden egg.
Plan NOW. Focus on the big picture and use a cold wallet (a must).
What about alts? π
11/ Instead of chasing the next 100x, play the long game:
1οΈβ£ Accumulate BTC anyway you can
2οΈβ£ Sell altcoin profits into BTC during bull markets
3οΈβ£ Buy during bear markets
4οΈβ£ Farm yield with your BTC
...
β FatFIRE!
What's stopping you? π
12/ Bitcoin's price is volatile, yes.
BUT.
As its market cap grows, volatility will decrease.
That means LESS risk for you when you retire! It's perfect.
Don't be that guy that sold BTC at $1! Be smarter.
More alpha next π
13/ If you don't know what real yield is then start reading.
Here's my thread on #GMX / #GLP - it's impressive what they have achieved.
Also subscribe to my newsletter for more opportunities and alpha (see my bio linktree).
Uniswap, an ETH dApp generating $500 mil / year in fees, just created its own L2. Now, those fees are reduced by 100x and go into Uniswap pocket.
Multiply this by 100x with other dApps and ETH's price will go to zero. A thread 1/12 π§΅
2/ The reason Ethereum has value is because of its fees that generate demand for its native token.
At the time of this post, it costs over $10 for a simple token swap.
ETH is on borrowed time as users are rightfully ditching this expensive chain. Who's to blame?
3/ Vitalik and his team.
They decided to scale Ethereum via L2s, but in the process they are losing their users. A bit ironic considering L2s were meant to fix ETH's scaling problem.
As L2s proliferate and users move out, Ethereum faces an even bigger problem.
