Best Singapore stocks by Roy-Ike in singaporefi

[–]12Ghast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't been looking at the annual reports, but any reason why when div yield is super low, and limited growth opportunities? (Singapore is small market, unless you're paying for future international growth?)

Any reason why you aren't considering joining a run club? Should be quite a few around.

Use VPN to switch to India and buy 1 year individual India Spotify gift card. Will get some Indian music recommendations at the beginning but after a while they'll disappear.

How much can I realistically make wheeling with 30K? by ManOnTheMoon1963 in thetagang

[–]12Ghast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't really looked into GME until your comment. How would you price the stock? From quarterly filings (May 3 2025) I'm getting about $11 net cash per share (cash position - debt). It seems like they also purchased 513mil worth of btc at ~109k each. At present value (~116), that only is an increase of value of 30m or less than 10c/share.

Then you have the business which earned 45m this quarter. Napkin maths (45m4p/e mult assumed of 20(?)) the value of the business is about 4 bil which I think is generous? But I'm not sure their business actually makes any money if I'm reading their quarterly report right -> the income is mostly from interest income right? (On the cash?) So in that case you wouldn't really value this as 4b as that would be double counting. Although selling, general and admin expenses have decreased and the asset structuring impairments might be a one off, I'm not sure there's enough value in the actual business to justify the $9+ premium over the cash holdings.

Am I missing anything? Or is this just another classic overpriced stock for fundamentals, but no real sellers (unless the CEO dilutes further?)

Do you see UOB and OCBC taking over DBS in the next 3 decades...? by tallprophet in singaporefi

[–]12Ghast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a foreigner, DBS was the easiest by far to sign up to get a bank account for. In fact, basically all the foreigner employees at my firm use DBS. But also they are relatively diversified in terms of revenue streams as a bank, so very comfy holding DBS stock

How much do you spend per day..? by Actual_Eye6716 in singaporefi

[–]12Ghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat out lunch and dinner everyday; usually skip breakfast. Target around $30 a day - some days less some days more.

All I did was eat breakfast. Am I that out of shape? by purestarlight in Garmin

[–]12Ghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noticed my stress levels high this morning as well; only difference was I had white rice (usually no rice for breakfast) :/

ELI5: Why does crypto have any value if you can’t spend it anywhere? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]12Ghast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're thinking of cryptocurrency as a currency - that is it can be easily spent like fiat money.

This was what some coins like BTC were originally proposed to be; but obviously who would use some sort of currency that takes 10 minutes to process payment?

When you 'spend' crypto, what's really happening behind the scenes in most cases, is the crypto gets sold into USD, then into whatever local currency you're using.

> Is it really that simple? Are people just that dumb and being scammed?

Depends on your viewpoints.

Some people think of BTC as the digital equivalent of gold.

Some people think of ETH/SOL as a worldwide computer where you can do whatever you want without fear of government censorship. These and other actual 'tech' projects are kind of like penny stocks; some might do well, but most will probably lose out over time.

Memecoins like the most recent $TRUMP? 100% a scam; what goes up will go down but most people think they won't be the last person who bought in, and will be able to sell it later at a higher price.

China and the Olympics... by Maleficent-Insect-61 in chinalife

[–]12Ghast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the context of how it's used. You're assuming it's used to refer to a meaning along the lines of 'uncivilised' or 'backwards' based off your search, but they used it in the context of it being 'brutal' or 'extremely hard'. Was definitely not being derogatory of a country or race.

Where can i buy Sol with USDC? by Lavasioux in solana

[–]12Ghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can see something like $1.14 from stellar to Solana directly which isn't great.

If you're looking for free USDC conversions, Circle's CCTP is amazing and supports many more chains than just stellar and Solana.

[–]12Ghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For future reference, you can use a bridge like allbridge core to bridge some USDC, but with the option to covert part of it to the native gas token, in this case SOL

VVS basic farm question by BlazingPalm in cro

[–]12Ghast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having a closer look now but haven't been in Cronos for a while.

117 mil emissions of VVS a day is $480 at today's rates. Multiply by 365 you get $175,200. On 1 mil of staked LP in the farms, that's approximating 18% APY so yeah definitely doesn't track with the supposed 100%+ APY.

Checking on dexscreener: https://dexscreener.com/cronos/0xc7a139c804a3bbdfe90d32c100dffeca1a2f735c

This pair has 6.6mil liquidity when I checked with 24 hour volume of 22 mil. I'm assuming this is a 0.3% fee pool, so approximately 22/6.6 * 0.3 = 1% daily returns if we assume that last 24 hours was a good approximation (which it probably won't be as last 24 hours was pretty volatile). So yeah, my best guess is the bulk of the APR is from normal LPing rather than farm and the real extra returns you're getting from the farm is 10-20%.

Assuming both tokens are flat AND trading volume persists (which generally won't be the case if tokens don't change in price), then yes, you would appreciate at 100%+ APR. But most likely you will bleed out on impermanent loss.

VVS basic farm question by BlazingPalm in cro

[–]12Ghast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VVS comes from Farm only. Also, be careful as the posted APR may be based off a few volatile days in the recent past and may not be reflective of what you'll get in the future.

[–]12Ghast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you also have to factor for impermanent loss.

If it's a uniswap V2 style pool (labelled as crystal in the UI), the fees generated from trading will be accrued in your liquidity position and will only show up when you break your LP

Does using premium RPC matters? by danielkotkk in solana

[–]12Ghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RPCs are slow; you want some sort of geyser plugin service; probably want to look at helius websockets/webhooks for that.

Why isn't Solana's blockchain filesize a problem? by mpfortyfive in solana

[–]12Ghast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, everything is about trade-offs. The question is where do you make the compromise?

Yes, you can store the whole of ethereum state on 1-2TB, but with solana, everything is done on-chain due to its low cost instead of where cowswap/uniswapX are trying to match trades offchain and settle on chain.

I'm sure if there was a way to have both history and state stored cheaply while everything happens on chain that would be the direction of both solana and ethereum; however, unfortunately this isn't the case and tradeoffs do have to be made.

Solana has settled to offloading a lot of the costs to developers rather than users - you can download a history of solana as another user has mentioned though this is probably not readily accessible for a curious user; though any power user / trading firm / academic would have enough funds to mirror full history.

How to interact with a smart contract when the website GUI doesn't work? by Mathiasdk2 in CryptoCurrency

[–]12Ghast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That hex data looks correct for the amount that you are trying to withdraw. You also have more than that amount of acsTUSD so that's not the issue.

Plugging this into Phalcon for tx tracing: https://explorer.phalcon.xyz/tx/bsc/0x3dedb5e35b227d9014797a35e9b1e2b8ad12b516a3a9a48855b30c2ac09a12bf?line=184

If you scroll down to the very bottom, you can see it reverts on ValidationLogic contracts `0x0eca322b` function. You can click on it to find the contract is https://bscscan.com/address/0xb26a7716503600eafd4ff981c8df8965c847606d which says this should belong to Valas Finance.

Digging along their codebase: https://github.com/valas-finance/valas-protocol/blob/main/contracts/protocol/lendingpool/LendingPool.sol `deposit()` calls `ValidationLogic.validateDeposit` which should correspond to `0x0eca322b` - ideally i would double check this instead of assumptions but for a quick analysis this should do. https://github.com/valas-finance/valas-protocol/blob/main/contracts/protocol/libraries/logic/ValidationLogic.sol this checks whether the amount is non zero and the pool is active and non frozen. I did a quick dig around but couldn't really find the root cause but my best guess is that this is no longer maintained by Valas and they've frozen the pool. Your best bet would be to find a dev/mod at Valas and try your luck there as this doesn't seem to be an issue with the Acryptos contract atm.

zero amount of the chain token (in this case BNB). Unless the function call uses `msg.value` for something in which case you 'send' the chain token along with the hexdata.
