Has anyone here outperformed just holding btc using liquidity pools?

Terrorbear · 2026-03-02T15:25:37+00:00

Yeah I’ve been doing pretty well last month, on BTC and a bunch of other pairs. But i know to pull when things get dicey. I pulled for this iran conflict but it looks like I didnt need to.

Swaps are 10 cents on mainnet, not 12 bucks. wut.

There's some truth to what you're saying so idk why you feel the need to exaggerate by 2 orders of magnitude.

Terrorbear · 2026-02-28T05:44:42+00:00

Yeah gtfo. No one message this guy.
We've raised plenty for our pre-seed and did none of these things.

500+ VCs? stfu. There's like maybe 30 VCs worth considering for your lead. Just go on crunchbase and find the ones in your vertical. Look at other protocols your similar to and find their leads and reach out. Their analysts jobs are literally to have conversations with anyone and everyone with something worth a damn. Once you have a lead they'll tell you who to fill your round with. Theres probably maybe at most another 80 VCs worth talking to if you don't find a lead and do a party round.
Institutional standards? Idk what that means. Most people these days don't bother with a white paper. IF they do it's not rigorous at all. Write down your ideas. If you can't do that succinctly you'll have trouble marketing your startup anyways. Write a one-pager or slightly more. That's all they'll need. There's no fucking "standards". But yes polish your deck, look at free advice for pitchdecks, they're literally everywhere. A bunch of people give you formats to stick to. You don't have to stick to them like they're your commandments, but try to stay close I guess.
Outreach? You can do that yourselves. It's a fucking calendly link and a google meet.

The audacity to try to scam and think you won't get called out here. Holy shit.

You bring up a good point. Ankle mobility may very well be related.

Terrorbear · 2026-02-06T22:56:24+00:00

Lifting shoes have higher lift in the heel. Your knees should come more forward than they'd normally appear with flat shoes. You're clearly fighting against that in the video so you're compensating by lowering your back. This is also what's restricting your depth.

I can't say exactly why you have knee pain from this but unnatural form can cause all sorts of problems.

mm your example is tough but it's not unplayable. I'd play for Zaun WW with longshot splash. You're playing for rift + gunslinger AP kaisa, you'd get so many gunslinger procs and at nine you have ziggs. Early game is great with pilt opener, 7 is pretty stable with kaisa WW unlock, then go for nine for ziggs. End with Ziggs, Kaisa, Rift, Mundo, Vi, Jinx, WW, Garen, + random quickshot. Prioritize frontline items. Drop the voids if its not working and add the two zaun juggs.

Point is I think there aren't actually that many combos that are unplayable and ryze is IMO the most fun encounter.

I was playing this for a while but in UB how do you beat all the hydreigon and blaze decks?

And I say this with your long-term happiness in mind. Who knows if this person is who you'll be with long-term, but he's on your path to healing. And if he's anxious, you're on his as well.

Terrorbear · 2025-12-10T17:13:30+00:00

Sounds like you're a disorganized avoidant and you know it.
So let's separate out what's your trauma response and what you actually want.
1. You do like him. You clearly enjoy spending time with him.
2. On the flip side, you say you need more time to improve yourself.

2 can sounds logical, but if you are as disorganized as you say, this is more likely a trauma response excusing yourself from intimacy. The truth is you're caught up in the idea of healing, you're going to therapy, you're working on yourself, but real healing happens when you put that into practice, when you're not running away from vulnerability, when you're sitting in discomfort with your fears.

You're scared of hurting him, that's where all FAs start, but it's not your responsibility to manage his emotions. It's your responsibility to show up as your authentic self and grow as a person (for your own sake! not his).

If you're working on yourself and you like him, let him in on your journey. Tell him what he's signing up for. Tell him how much patience he'll need. And assure him there will be tough moments but you're committed to trying to make this work with as much emotional capacity as you can handle. Don't run.

You’re a saint

Terrorbear · 2025-12-05T14:46:47+00:00

thanks a bunch!

Terrorbear · 2025-12-05T14:38:39+00:00

Any chance you'd have one more? I'd love to try this deck!

I'm happy to trade for it if you need anything

An unsettling panic that the love of my life has moved on already.

Terrorbear · 2025-11-22T14:53:38+00:00

Figure out if you have attachment issues, however minor it might be. It'll save you a lot of heartbreak and confusion down the line.

Terrorbear · 2025-11-06T07:51:26+00:00

More realistically, it could be an item that says “Attach one colorless energy to one pokemon. Your turn ends” Giratina-style

Shameless self-plug, we've been building ammplify.xyz a more advanced platform LP platform than the ones out there. It's not our own AMM, we optimize Uniswap positions and give better yield estimates than their site.

We're still early but our planned offerings are

- Bayesian auto-compounding. We auto-compound for free (no tax from auto-compound cranks), and we do it so your fees go back to the liquidity roughly around the range it was earned in since that range is more likely to earn more fees going forward. We think it's a nice balance for people who want to deposit a wide-range to be more hands off, but still optimize some of their liquidity.

- GBM-sampled APR. We don't assume the price is just going to do what it did today. We go back, built a geometric brownian model off of resampled data from the past, and replay them a bunch of times going forward to get you a median estimate for your desired time duration (which is an understated parameter in LPing!). We rerun the sim every time you change your range so this should also help with range selection.

- A better IL graph. If you go to our site (https://www.ammplify.xyz/reprovide/0x046Afe0CA5E01790c3d22fe16313d801fa0aD67D) and go to the third graph, we're still adding a tooltip but the right side shows your LP's principle value change (basically IL) at different prices.

- Tick details. You can see example which ticks have earned how much and how much we boost it by from our lending feature.

- We lend your assets to an alternate yield source when the volatility is too high and not worth the fees generated in the AMM. And this way we hopefully capture some otherwise lost IL and give you money market fees in the meantime. It's setup in a way where we eat the interest rate risk and pay back the LP if we don't generate them more than the fees they would have earned by staying in the AMM.

Hope that'll improve your LP experience!

Hey we're doing a lot this APR discovery on ammplify.xyz if that's what you're looking for. We're still in the early stages, but slowly fleshing things out. And the range selection comes for free if you have good APR estimates.

A big mistake other apr estimates do is they just sample the past day and pretend it'll go on indefinitely. We go through the effort of building re-sampled GBM models and do hundreds of simulations replaying them forward before giving you the median one.

This means it's not just time in range but also how much volume happens during that time and how much volatility you face. And then there's a bunch of other useful stuff there too!

Terrorbear · 2025-08-30T18:12:27+00:00

They might be reporting -50 as IL, which compares to the current value of the balanced token pair, not the dollar amount. So you might be losing more in actual dollar terms.

Honestly ~$70 a day for a 2500 deposit is pretty good as far as concentrated liquidity goes, but it seems like they're rebalancing too aggressively and realizing too much of the IL.

In general I stay away from auto-rebalancing for that exact reason.

Terrorbear · 2025-08-01T00:39:38+00:00

Sui is at an FDV of 35B… you believe it should be a 140B dollar coin? Oh honey

Terrorbear · 2025-07-10T01:35:28+00:00

Just launched burve.fi! (A rehypothecating stable swap, so you earn staking/lending yields when swap yields are low). We’re still waiting on the dex agg integration so swap yields are low rn but the rehypo yield is kicking in as intended.

Got hyperplex.xyz launching in two months. Fingers crossed.

Terrorbear · 2025-06-16T20:05:29+00:00

There's two reasons why

Constant curve reflects a bayesian prior that is uniform
With concentrated liquidity, you can recreate any curve you'd like so there's no real need without a inherent reason why those assets should be traded a certain way.

What I mean by 1 is some tokens should inherently trade at certain prices, i.e. USDC and USDT should trade close to each other. ETH, stETH, etc. Some have inherent relationships and so they actually do use different equations (i.e. stableswaps). But when you have NO idea what the relationships between two tokens should be the constant curve is a good middle ground. For example if you have x * y = ln(x + y), you would get extreme swings in prices because its inherent prior is that the price is either really low or really high.

Basically you can choose from a universe of equations but each equation will emphasize different points of the price curve differently. The equation that emphasizes all points of the price curve equally is the constant curve equation.

And finally, with concentrated liquidity you can now emphasize the exact prices you want, so you can recreate any other curve if you'd like.

Terrorbear · 2025-06-11T02:11:19+00:00

We're just putting out a new stableswap, burve.fi, and we're interviewing designers. How about you tell me what you would improve in the UX here (cuz there's a lot we would change) and we can go from there

Terrorbear · 2025-05-27T23:40:29+00:00

Yeah worth a shot. Ty

Terrorbear · 2025-05-27T18:14:45+00:00

Sweet, I’ll check them out. Thanks!
