WTF is "full protection from impermanent loss?" Are they guaranteeing that any losses are forever?

"Impermanent loss" is one of the DeFi buzzwords. It's irrelevant if you aren't involved in that garbage, but it's basically when you add liquidity to a trading pair and their values go the wrong direction.

at 8000% APR you can just put $100 in there and be rich in a few years!!! how can you not just jam it all in there

I’d gamble :10bux: on that, knowing I’ll probably lose it

Actually, that's where shady loving options people came in. LP related things, impermanent loss, etc. Is basically options trading. So the term might be coined but that's what they are. Just worse because the math behind balancing is hosed, as they added *fees* as a benefit, which imbalance even further.

There was a calc on it but the summary is even with $100k into an LP, $100 orders will cause impermanent loss quickly whenever price doesn't return exactly to neutral (and never will). It's that inefficient.

I had a lovely bit of bitcoin schadenfreude tonight

Back in 2018, I had a run in with a crypto CEO called Dave Mata on Derek Smart's facebook wall, where he insulted my disability when I called his company Block Bits Capital LLC a scam.



He called me wheels due to my wheelchair, which is no biggie, but he was also hugely arrogant in his defence of his company, which was clearly a scam (back then, it was focussing on helping ICO's scam victims).

I was reminded of him tonight and decided to google his company. It was good timing, as he's recently been taken to court by the SEC for fraud.



I found that old 2018 facebook thread on Derek's wall tonight, tagged Dave in the reply linking to the SEC docs and really enjoyed lol'ing at him.

Many exchanges like Binance allow you to short sell crypto (and do put options as well). They only allow it for specific large coins like BTC and Eth so I doubt they allow CEL, although someone who is touching the poop needs to confirm if CEL is offered to borrow.

Regardless if it's even possible, scammers are screaming "massive short attack!" so that idiots throw even more money into buying CEL to try and save the funds that were already rug pulled (while not being able to withdraw anything).

Shorting CEL at this point is pointless as it's already at rock bottom. Anyone who thinks a CEL short squeeze will happen is even more delusional than the GME folks, who are already ludicrous caricatures of a day trader.

Number went below $20k, people trying to pump so it doesn't go completely flat immediately. Stays under $20k for too long and for a lot of people it's over. The people with cash still in it can't let that happen, so they're doing as much as they can to keep it above.
