Fried Watermelon posted:Almost a billion dollars of real money locked away in a currency that has limited use Not an expert and have not yet used defi, but the way I understand it is that people lock up BTC/ETH or some other digital token as collateral, and they receive an amount of a stablecoin (a coin whose value is pegged to USD) worth less than what they locked up. The amounts of collateral you need to put up and interest rates/etc depend on the platform. Then they use that stablecoin to buy stuff... like goods and services, lambos, or more ETH or BTC (equivalent to using leverage) if you are the degen moonboi pro-trader type. Pay the original loan back and you are good to go, don't and you get liquidated and lose your collateral.

Seems like it's all smart contracts so there are no actual people running it, just code, and we all know code is perfect with no bugs or backdoors. It also seems like the borrowers have to put up collateral worth more than 100% of the value they're borrowing, which I guess is why the system isn't falling apart, but not why anyone would borrow on those terms. I did a skim of the liquidators thing and I wonder - wouldn't it be cheaper for every borrower to be their own liquidator since they get a bonus for being one? ymgve fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Jan 29, 2020 |

There's a whole sub reddit full of idiots getting their fake money stolen, and that's the ones willing to admit it lol. edit: also the identity theft kit you have to send a lot of them, again given the kind of people running these things.

If you want to not pay taxes on your gains or if your coins have a criminal origin then you have to roll the bones with Krazy Kumar's Koin Kastle and and he might steal your money. Okay. You sell your bitcoin on an "exchange". What fee are you paying the exchange on the sale and what is the feel you pay to get the money out of the system? How much time does it take to get the money into your bank account? And lol at "legitimate". Does this simply mean they haven't performed a major theft yet?

You would always want to pay your self back first -- it is a LOAN after all, right? The fact that you aren't getting liquidated by repaying your own loan is your bonus for not being liquidated.
