@TomMarshall111 @phish @andygadiel @SphereVegas This sent me down a whole rabbit hole

[DeFi Dinosaur @DinosaurDefi]

@ChrisBlec I was advised to pay and then appeal.

When the appeal goes through, they send you a check for the amount you overpaid.

🤷‍♂️

@0xnyew great thread 🔥

@sonofalli rogue philly cheesesteak

@BarryFried1 Great thread!

Any thoughts on whether the Llama Airforce Union is safe to use?

Is there a certain (ballpark) $$ amount where it makes more sense to DIY w/ Votium?

Any competitors worth considering offering a similar service to the 🦙 ✈️ folks?

Thanks for the info ser 🙏!!

@RyanSAdams @pmarca @bankless @cdixon How we we reconcile the concept of decentralization w/ company’s like his owning massive %’s of critical web3 companies?

Is the prospect of crypto helping people and distributing wealth at all valid, or does the success of web3 just transfer wealth from traditional banks to VCs?

@0xgabor @PoolTogether_ @AaveAave I think I knew it was something like that in hindsight 😅

Brief moment of panic after the $Luna debacle but glad they played it safe 🙌

Thanks for the info!

@MorningBrew Pretty sure in your founder’s How I Built this episode he talks about early success w/ IG Stories as a major growth driver for Morning Brew in the early days 👀 👀

[DeFi Dinosaur @DinosaurDefi]

@0xgabor @PoolTogether_ Is there any transparency around their sources of yield?

It would be great to know what strategies they are deploying...

@its_honestwork I am just a humble yield farmer . . . a loyal servant to the Zapper gods . . . praying that my hard work and earnest completion of weekly quests will help us build a better world . . . block by block . . . one block at a time

@0x_Lucas @iearnfinance @LidoFinance @CurveFinance For this stETH strategy specifically - do you need to stake w/ Lido first? Or can you zap right into the Curve LP pool?

I ask because I'm doing this already, but @iearn APY is closer to 3-4% - is it possible I'm losing out on staking rewards?

[DeFi Dinosaur @DinosaurDefi]

@JadtheLad @0x7d54 @AlchemixFi This way you’re getting DeFi yield on $500K (instead of only on $250K), adding leverage to your DeFi portfolio & allowing you to access your yield immediately without waiting.

The yield you’re earning pays off your loan, giving you added leverage without the risk of liquidation.

[DeFi Dinosaur @DinosaurDefi]

@JadtheLad @0x7d54 @AlchemixFi 1 reason you might consider doing this (w/ a % of your net worth) is as a hedge against other investments/asset classes (the stock market could crash…)

Also keep in mind, your initial $500K *is* earning DeFi interest, & you get 100% of your $500K back when the loan is paid off

@cryptoMaxi420 Impressed by @0xPolygon’s continued growth despite steep competition

I’m willing to pay 3x ($0.03 per tx vs. $0.01) for the health of the ecosystem 😊

Think investors are sleeping on the potential of their true layer 2’s in the works …

[DeFi Dinosaur @DinosaurDefi]

@0xSisyphus I mostly use @zapper_fi for exchanges. It’s a tab I usually have open regardless, & when I’ve comparison shopped, the rates are typically as good or better than alternatives

Also gas fees are often better than other options I’ve explored- overall seems solid & turnkey 🤷🏻‍♂️

@RyanSAdams Bet that the constitutionDAO would win the Sotheby’s auction on @PolymarketHQ and lost it all 😭

(📜,📜)

[DeFi Dinosaur @DinosaurDefi]

@ConstitutionDAO should deploy funds for the good of the crypto industry

Make donations to pro crypto politicians, support lobbying efforts to help w/ crypto friendly regulation

Support education around why crypto is a good thing for the US economy, job creation, etc.
