Cool DeFi concept. You can basically borrow up to 50x your deposit and pay for it in very small installments, so to speak. The main advantage is that you can secure the price of ETH or BTC today with very little capital. Say you want to buy 10 ETH today, but you don’t have enough capital. Put down eg. 10% ($260 x 10 = $2,600), and get 10 ETH today worth $26,000. You can’t withdraw it before you pay it off, but if you know that you get more money in some months or a year, it can be a good solution.

Another interesting part is the lender side. With this model, liquidity providers can earn 10-50%+ APR on stablecoins. No impermanent loss and you also don't get diluted if more people join the pool.

You also earn points if you provide liquidity during the first 3 months. There are double rewards during the first week (starts October 15). With or without the points, the APR on stables sounds quite attractive, especially in a bull run.

Good take

What is your edge?

I wrote a tweet about Pendle and Contango the other day here: https://x.com/Route2FI/status/1843665911875547198 where I highlighted that both Pendle-based and Ethena-based strategies can give additional returns by using some of the looping strategies at Contango.

Their token $TANGO is a beta to numerous narratives, similar to how Pendle is both a beta to EigenLayer and Ethena.

The token $TANGO is on a presale at Fjord right now, and 50% of the tokens are already sold after 30 minutes: https://app.fjordfoundry.com/pools/0x1A8B3dAAda7C7fBf35446626c76CabE23bc7A2C8

Could be worth checking out. NFA. DYOR.

I am an investor in the project :)

From a group chat. Kind of agree with this tbh:

"Seriously there's many many great traders on CT but nobody who actually gives alpha with life before trading and life before making high figures. Its cool that they now post 7-8-9 fig pnls, but I couldnt give a shit. I want to know how they got from point a to point B. How they started, how much, what environment, what their first hints of success was, but nobody shares this anymore. Which is sad. Only highstakescap shared it in podcasts which was inspiring asf knowing he only had 500$ to live, and lived in Thailand because thats all he could afford"

lmao.

are you the chad that bets big or the Wall St. 9-5 employee who tracks Sharpe ratio?

Amen

So let’s say you know that you will die when you are 80.

If you’re 25, you have 55 years left. If you’re 40, you have 40 years left, etc.

Now, let’s apply house money to time.

Let’s say someone gave you an extra year right now.

You could freeze time, pause your life and just use this year exactly how you wanted.

So it would be 80 + 1 year.

Since you got extra this year (would you spend it differently?).

I know that if I weren’t retired myself already, I’d definitely use this year to travel, pursue other interests, starting a biz because you enjoyed it ++, basically everything I couldn’t do/or have time for while working a 9-5. Just exploring without any pressure to necessarily earn money.

Perhaps your goals are different from mine, but I find it difficult to imagine that if you were granted one more year, you would utilize it to amass riches or prestige.

The wisest use of time in this situation would be to engage in the types of things that many of us wouldn't allow ourselves to commit to during "regular" time.

This brings me further to the question: if you know exactly what you’d like to do and this is what is making you happy, then why aren’t you doing these things right now? What are you so afraid of? Is anything really stopping you, or is it just in your head?
