Some brief thoughts on the U.S. seizure of $3.6 billion from the 2016 Bitfinex hack.

It's not as simple as bullish or bearish for $BTC.

Very brief thread.

(1/4)
Important points:

- If sold, it will be sold gradually. ($160m
per month for 18 months h/t @AviFelman )
- When these funds would enter the market is unclear.
- Positive press from recovery of major hack.
- Expect a long legal process for regaining the funds.

(2/4)
As is with all legal process, it will be a tedious one for Bitfinex to regain the $3.6 billion.

So, when this would happen is totally up in the air.

During that time, the market is more likely to price this in.

$160m a month for Bitcoin is really not a lot.

Hashed bought $3 million worth of $SUSHI in the market over the past month, and intends to hold it over the long term.

At Hashed, we are optimistic about the Sushi ecosystem.

Here is why. (1/5)
Sushi started off as an AMM fork of Uniswap.

But now, it is a comprehensive ecosystem and a suite of DeFi products.

Projects launch on Sushi's Miso, list on SushiSwap, and lend and borrow through Kashi. (2/5)

Sushi's figures are quite incredible.

- $100 billion all-time volume
- $400m+ 24 hour volume
- Over 375,000 total users. (3/5)

Binance Smart Chain vs. Ethereum.

Let's look at some simple metrics.

tl;dr: at least in the foreseeable future, BSC remains a strong alternative to Ethereum, particularly in Asia.

My guess is Ethereum would see more activity again when Optimism and other layer twos launch.
1. Daily TX volume

Binance Smart Chain: 8 million txs/ per day
Ethereum: 1.5 million per day

But, this does not take into account xDAI and other practical layer 2 solutions on Ethereum that are currently in use.
2. PancakeSwap vs Uniswap + SushiSwap TVL

- PancakeSwap: $8.7 billion
- Uniswap: $6.5 billion
- SushiSwap: $4.2 billion

Many people stake on PancakeSwap to participate in their farms and pools. So it would be more fair to compare PancakeSwap versus. Uniswap + SushiSwap.

An NFT thread!

The NFT craze has reached a fever pitch, but investors are becoming savvy and keen on finding utility for their non-fungible assets.

This is leading to a new class of NFTs that provide users with utility. Here are some thoughts on 2 projects that I like.
I'm not sure about you guys but I grew up playing Pokemon trading cards and playing Pokemon on my Gameboy.

While I'm not into art NFTs, I've been increasingly interested in NFT projects focused on gaming like Axie Infinity and ChainGuardians.
NFTs have existed for quite some time (think CryptoKitties), but they only started gaining widespread traction within the crypto space recently.

My opinion is that “DeFi summer” led early investors to “diversify” their portfolios by directing funds towards digital artwork.

A DeFi Thread!

@VesperFi (vesper.finance). An undervalued project that won’t stay under the radar for long. Vesper, offers top class yield aggregator pools, Ethereum L2 integrations coming soon and $340M TVL.

I'll continue to thread projects I'm interested in.
The project’s co-founders are former bitcoin core dev Jeff Garzik (Jeff was working with Satoshi himself since 2010) and Matthew Roszak, both also co-founders of leading blockchain infrastructure company @bloqinc.
Vesper’s aim is to build a platform for easy to use DeFi products that will bridge the gap between the dynamism and “test in prod” approach of the existing DeFi space and the professionalism and ease of use necessary for DeFi to reach mainstream adoption.

A DeFi Thread!

Dark pools, liquidity constraints, high fees, and a single solution to these bottlenecks — a thread about Wootrade Network $WOO.

What could be one of the market’s next blue chip tokens backed by backed by Dragonfly, 3AC, and Fenbushi.

More below 👇
Fair disclaimer before I dive in. Our fund @linkpadvc is an investor in $WOO, and we’re incredibly optimistic for its future.

We will be assisting them in business development and helping to roll out some exciting plans.
Background on @wootraderS: the project was established in 2018 by a 2-man team with a goal of building liquidity black pools for exchanges to tap into.

The team grew exponentially, with 60+ employees in total with their executive team having some impressive work experience.
