First year of uni realized I needed social skills to talk to girls. Forced myself to do one thing outside of my comfort zone every day (like go to party, talk to new person etc). By second year had 0 social anxiety and suddenly socializing was super fun.

1/ @THORChain are considering dropping ERC-20 tokens from the platform due to the recent exploits. I was curious how important ERC-20s are to the platform, so I ran the numbers. Like many, my opinion is ERC-20s should be temporarily paused until fully tested.

1/ When traders on @THORChain are fearful, they are willing to pay much higher slip fees. This is great news for LPs and their profits. More generally, market crashes are some of the most profitable times for THORChain LPs.

1/ In these early days of @THORChain, the key drivers of high APYs are not fee revenues. They are Block Rewards and the Incentive Pendulum.

Taken many machine learning classes at Tsinghua Uni in Beijing and never seen anything like this. Possibly some private business restrictions I’m unaware of, but academic research is thriving as far as I can see. Some really cool chatGPT projects being built at Tsinghua rn.

1/ How much liquidity is enough? When markets are stable, as little as 1.9 million USD in pool depth can protect users from high slip fees on @THORChain . When the markets are in periods of high greed or fear, even 20 million in depth might not be enough.

1/ Diving into Pool Depths and Composition of Liquidity on @THORChain. Two major trends stand out in data: First, LPs are observant, and employ evolving LP strategies over time. They don't just dump funds and forget about it.

Confused about $XRUNE? I break down its functions, tokenomics and how to purchase it in my latest THORSTARTER 101 guide! runebase.org/news/thorstart… @thorstarter @runebase_org

1/ LPers on @THORChain strongly avoid withdrawing in periods of high Impermanent Loss (IL), but instead are timing their withdrawals to minimise IL, and hence IL Protection (ILP). This is great news for the Thorchain treasury, since liability is much lower than it could be.

We should try to make some super simplified tutorials to help Doge coin holders move their funds to Thorchain. I’m sure a lot of them will be new to Defi, so a simplified Doge guide filled with memes could help a lot! Happy to help make that content.

Currently backpacking through South Korea. Met this fluffy boi at my hostel. His name? THOR. I think it’s a sign. Time to ape into $RUNE, we going to $100.

10/ The ability to swap native BTC and ETH alone is a huge win for the crypto space, which we shouldn’t forget in these tough times. Loss of ERC-20 is a hit to the platform, but far from a killing blow.
