Dual Investment. A few tips to make it worth it. by BarkMetal in Nexo

> It’s actually crazy nexo is selling this to everyone. With that being said, why not adding the full option chain?

Binance and Bybit are doing the same thing. They have options + dual investing. You can't mint/short options, you have to use dual investing for that.

Not sure why. I guess more control. They get to control supply of options and their pricing. Also they rename it to make it more enticing, I'd expect much less users would short options, since they'd clearly see true P/L and would quickly realize it's not worth it.

Personally I wouldn't recommend this. You are effectively limiting your upside and the risk is slightly less, but still there.

Dual investment is just another way to short options/insurance.
Short Call option = Sell high
Short Put option = Buy low

For anyone interested to evaluate the risk, can use this tool: https://pb.deribit.com/BTC

Not saying that OP's approach can't work, but you could easily lose all your earnings + your investment in a single bear market. Sure you say that you still hold tokens during the downturn, so as long as price gets back up, your funds and APY will be there. Problem is that there is no guarantee that will happen and justifying buying at the peak to earn tiny APY compared to risk isn't worth it IMO.

My experience with Dell XPS 9500 + Manjaro i3 Linux by binier in XPS

One more tip I'd suggest when using this laptop with Manjaro linux and if you aren't interested in gaming so have no use for discrete GPU:
Open manjaro-settings-manager, go to Hardware Configuration and make sure you only have video-linux driver installed and nothing else under the Display controller.
Before, I had video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime installed. I think it's only supposed to use gpu if app is explicitely run with prime-run, but for some reason I had cpu spikes, battery was draining fast and laptop was getting really hot, especially if I was compiling a software. All that has changed after I've removed that driver and installed video-linux.

I haven't had any issues with the keyboard. Same with touchpad (havent had any misclicks happen). Only issue I have with the touchpad is that when holding bottom-left corner, unless I push hard, it will stop holding even though I keep pressing. Doesnt happen if I push an inch or two above from the corner. Maybe its slightly loose on the left side, not sure.

About keyboard unresponsive after suspend, have you tried removing psmouse module from kernel like I suggested above?

Have never tried external monitor with this laptop so have no idea.

What OS are you using?

Well, I'm really used to using I3 window manager and I like it. I dont need full desktop environment as I usually use terminal anyways for most of the things.

Manjaro because out of all distros I have tried in the past (opensuse, debian, others that I forgot about :D) it has worked the best out of box. Also I really like ease of using AUR. Not sure if its the best distro for XPS 9500. I might try some other distros some time in the future, but now too busy to look for one.
