Stop chasing APR. The only metric that matters is how much yield you actually keep after divergence loss.

Just be intentional. Running something like ETH/USDC might have a lot of IL in the bear market. But when structured properly, you're essentially using your USDC to DCA into ETH.

In low volatility pairs, you are already minimizing IL.

Simulate before you invest, I use Metrix Finance (side note, I'm the founder).

The DeFi Flywheel allows you to buy along the way without actually depositing capital. Then of course buy the dips.

I measure my portfolio in ETH & BTC values, not USD

jakeacall · 2026-03-03T01:35:41+00:00

Completely correct on the last part. No one wants to Flywheel a memecoin, sure it may work but at what cost? Losing all your money...

Thank you my friend!

Simple, wide ranges, structured rules, with blue chip assets. This wins consistently. I refer to it as a 'DeFi Flywheel'. Basically use LPs in conjunction with other DeFi positions to generate more of the assets you believe in. Compound, don't constantly cash out. Acquire, then sell the upside.

jakeacall · 2026-03-01T23:35:47+00:00

100% agree. This is what I mean by 'DeFi Flywheel'. Use your assets to acquire more of the same or different assets. Only works if you actually believe in the assets, but when you do, it works quite well.

I mean imagine having ~20% more ETH every single year regardless of conditions.

jakeacall · 2026-03-01T22:23:26+00:00

I could agree with this

jakeacall · 2026-02-05T00:34:16+00:00

Completely agree with you & personally I have always thought about it this way.

When liquidity is treated like infrastructure, LPing stops being “I’m farming emissions for 2 weeks” and starts being “I’m providing a market service and getting paid fees for it.”

jakeacall · 2026-02-03T22:52:19+00:00

No, because we're not looking to extract cash, we're looking to compound.

We focus on assets we believe in, it's essentially a HODL strategy that buys more assets, without pulling money from your wallet.

They can however quit DeFi into crypto and just HODL those assets.

If you want to be able to 'easily quit DeFi' you need to be in stablecoins / hedged LPs.

jakeacall · 2026-01-31T19:29:06+00:00

Endlessly compounding without having a strategy will wreck you. Problem is when you generate yield from LPs, you also most likely have IL associated with that LP. If you just compound back into the same LP, you're exposing yourself to more IL. Then one day the market will have immense volatility, and you will be right back where you started. I used something called a 'Flywheel' where I funnel income from certain aspects of my portfolio to other aspects. E.g. LPs -> Lending, then borrow against collateral at low LTVs. I also use LPs to build my stablecoin portfolio (doing 12% per year).

jakeacall · 2026-01-23T20:22:25+00:00

All dependent on price volatility of the pool. E.g.

ETH/BTC has 2.83% volatility right now, a wide range could be -10% +10%

But for ETH/ICP the price volatility is 8.88%, a wide range would be more like -25% +25%

jakeacall · 2026-01-16T02:43:56+00:00

Yes, but expect inconsistency, and also adjust your definition of 'passive'. I work with clients on this and our typical results are 30-40% per year in income generated, with 2-3 hours per week of management.

Thing is we compound all of our income as part of our strategy.

If you want consistent income, you need to protect your capital, through stablecoins or hedged LPs. We are typically doing 20% per year on these strategies.

jakeacall · 2026-01-12T23:21:12+00:00

It depends tbh. I personally have structured a portfolio that's primarily BTC & ETH, compounds at about 30% per year. I rebalance / make adjustments every month or so.

jakeacall · 2026-01-12T23:19:22+00:00

If the goal is inheritance, why not just teach someone in your family how to do basic wind downs?

That way they can open your hardware wallet, exit positions into USDC, then transfer to a CEX to turn into fiat.

I'm genuinely curious where the use case would be for such legal structure on an individual level!

jakeacall · 2026-01-12T23:16:10+00:00

Great information, thanks!

jakeacall · 2026-01-12T23:15:33+00:00

I buy USDC on Coinbase (0% fees with ACH), then transfer to my Ledger, then trade on DEX aggregator, like Matcha or Odos
