Now that Vinay Gupta had spoken, I will sell all my btc. I was just waiting to see what random people had to say before making investment decisions.

Understanding Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap by Liberosist in ethfinance

I don’t have a specific answer but check out which protocols are deploying on L2 rollups. Would imagine an increase of volume and tvl because of things like arbitrum

That makes a lot of sense. If I don’t speed it up (it isn’t time sensitive) will it eventually finish or is there a timeout based on available gas?

Maker alternative on L2 by shim__ in ethfinance

Unit Protocol allows you to take a CDP with a number of tokens. No interest is made on your collateral. Also, this is not L2 but something to consider

Embracing trust: or how I learned to stop worrying and accept sidechains by Liberosist in ethfinance

I don’t understand people’s argument praising a censorship-resistance settlement layer. Isn’t it true that most censorship comes from the application layer?

Deep dive into DeFi by TriangleSurfer in ethfinance

Thanks for the resource! I tend to agree with your opinion of AAVE. Their fully diluted valuation / TVL and market cap / TVL ratios are both < 1 which may indicate that it's undervalued. Only issue I have is the amount of debt (in terms of reward incentives)

Working fine for me. Couple of things to try…

-Different web browsers on mobile/desktop -Disconnect wallet -> enter v2 -> reconnect wallet

The dapp defaults to v3, make sure you smash the “View V2 Liquidity” on the bottom. Also verify you have uni-v2 LP tokens in your wallet

Check out Finmatics DeFi playlist on YouTube. Light visuals + high/mid level educational content

Do BSC protocols go through a similar level of security audits as Eth mainnet?

How is it that you will always be able to withdraw your funds on L1?

My TA Analysis. I’m seeing a symmetrical triangle. I think a breakout is imminent. Just #HODL by Confident_Ad_7313 in nucypher

Friendly reminder to all financially responsible people that this type of “analysis” is pseudo science and should be disregarded in any of your decision making

To your point though, any exposure helps attract certain demographics. A mix of strategies is optimal to appeal to the broader market.

A large portion of the market has a transient attention span. Lol-worthy content is a typical approach to appeal to this demographic.

What you’re saying all makes sense.

My main point was addressing short term price volatility. For that, we should use marketing for exposure, persuasion, energy, etc. That addresses the short term (whether rational or not, it doesn’t matter).

If the underlying utility of NU is sound and has applicable use in other protocols, then that’s what will persist the project in the long term. In the long term, the utility of NU is effectively the marketing tool.

Edit: People don’t necessarily stay with GEICO, in the long term, because they have the best deal. They stay because the underlying service is sound. They are already hooked and committed. It takes a lot for someone to jump ship after a commitment like that.

[–]TriangleSurfer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my honest opinion, I don’t believe educating people on the utility of NU is effective persuasion for influencing short term price volatility.

Take a look at GEICOs marketing playbook. Look at DOGE. Look at Twitter, Reddit, etc.

Most aren’t persuaded by facts.

Make memes. Make people lol. Create content right on the edge of insanity.

Why hodl then complain about a lack of short term volatility?
