fundamental principle of deriv is that they should not provide greater liquidity than the underlying asset posses or ur just waiting to get exploited
Hyperliquid
@0xJohannes_@ramraiding pts system wasnt going to be a thing but pacman wanted it (basically required it)
so u play chain politics game and saying sure there'll be a token only if chain team delivers
chain teams never do deliver on things
evm land is also merc money so continuing to chase chains bad
@banterlytics unfortunate state of evm land
u deploy to new chains that have eyes and are doing farm deals on behalf of u to hopefully be in front of users
but evm money very mercenary so once chain stops running farm deal they move on
royco locking ppl in "good" but would expect drop off
@swaggyAlexyo@swellnetworkio@ambient_finance at peak tvl, it rly didn't move the needle w cex listings land
what mattered most was volumes given that was the proxy measure cexes use
tvl doesnt bc theres a LOT of tvl renting services out there that will hand u 9 figs so u can get cexes to exit
dont blv in going this route
@swaggyAlexyo@swellnetworkio@ambient_finance ofc there's the option of tge-ing purely on chain and that's path going for now bc we don't want it to be a insider fest like certain projects
in order to reach that point, stuff is being worked on
ok this a rly niche tweet but here's the audios for both
vid is deribit order fill

So all our fancy data analysis wasn't going to be enough -- to really nail predicting what happened when BTC *did* break through $20k, you'd need human intuition -- noticing what I said about re: quarterlies being different, guessing that meant the inflows were "stickier."
If you're just running a study on the past few weeks, you might come to the conclusion that selling near $20k is just an incredible trade -- we ran this study and came to that conclusion a few times! Here's a post I made in our "delta-force" channel on Slack:
A big difference? These products (spot and the OK/HB quarterlies) tend to have way less leverage (possible or realized, as the case may be) -- the positions get held for more time, and buyers in them tend to indicate "I'm buying to hold" more than "I'm buying to scalp."
