Dear #SuperHodl plebs: important update going forward on the algorithm experiment I'd like to share 🧵
Context: $DLLR is now live! It gives Zero users an option to buy #bitcoin directly, like we did as part of the original #SuperHodl algorithm. ⤵️
As introduced earlier, #StableHodl is a new version that leverages the stability pool as a place to hold our reserves (as we have been doing with #SuperHodl, too, since the @babelfishmoney did not allow further ZUSD in their pool).⤵️
Through $DLLR and the stability pool, we can start to do #StableHodl and buy #bitcoin again like the algorithm intends, while actively gaining #bitcoin on the downside as well (at very low prices). ⤵️
My proposal is thus to 🛑stop🛑 the current #SuperHodl experiment (we ran for ~230 days 🪦).
It, in any case, is already an amalgam of several policy changes due to changes to our habitat.
So when do we get started on a #StableHodl experiment? ⤵️
While I am confident on the baseline algorithm, it does currently not account for redemption risk: it has a very high return at a relatively risky CR.
Not a problem if managed daily and with attentive users (liquidation perspective), but unsafe against redemption. ⤵️
In order for #StableHodl to be a user-friendly algorithm with good UX, I want to ensure the loan CR is always high with respect to the total loan set CR ("Total CR in Zero"), so that LoCs following #StableHodl do not get redeemed against (easily) ⤵️
I am currently generating backtesting data i.e. "fake loans" to emulate a Zero environment to test against, and want to use that to update #StableHodl.
Then, that can be used to track the system's Total CR value in an adaptive fashion and adjust. ⤵️
This analysis and implementation, however will still take time, so I wish you bull with me while I'm taking care of the dishes, so to speak.
And then, serve you #StableHodl on a clean plate, with cutlery.
If you currently still have a loan open that was tracking #SuperHodl, let me know if you need some support to bring it to a desired state (closed, unmanaged, ...) just send me a DM and I will happily consult with you to resolve any doubt.
THX FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Zero Protocol is a @RSKsmart smart contract that you can interface through @SovrynBTC's #DeFi platform.
It mints $ tokens (ZUSD) against your #bitcoin, and you are the counterparty. Therefore, 0% interest, no payback term.
#SuperHodl is a trading algorithm that leverages several @SovrynBTC platform products; notably Zero and a lending pool.
It:
- Takes out a $ loan against #bitcoin
- Puts the $ in a reserve to gain yield over time
- And computes every day if an action is necessary by the borrower
As you know we are long-term bullish. But this FOMC & Russia announcements are making macro look bleak in the coming day(s). Did #bitcoin price it in with today's -3%?
As a general courtesy, please keep an eye out for your Zero loan since we are manually keeping track of CR to update our loan if needed.
If a strong (flash) dip occurs, realize that our current liquidation price (without yet paying back anything) is around $10,750.-

Hence we're still quite safe, and if we would pay back part of our reserve we can bring that liquidation price much further down (to $200 outstanding loan min., or close your position). This price number is reported on the Daily Dash.

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%.
