Defi - Go Hard or Go Home?

in LeoFinance3 years ago

I'm really enjoying being in several Cub dens and pools - currently I'm in mainly six Dens and farms, with my funds split fairly evenly across all of these

  • The Cub Den (obviously!)
  • The BTCB Den
  • The Eth Den
  • The Cub-BUSD farm
  • The bleo-BUSD farm
  • The BUSD-DAI farm

And I have smaller amounts in the USDT-BUSD and DEC-BUSD farms, and my next target is to increase the amount in the USDT-BUSD farm.

Most of my Defi allocated funds are staked in Cub, and I've got sufficient funds to make it worth harvesting from every pool every farm or Den around every 36 hours (it's somewhere between every day and every other day I harvest) and that allows me to harvest sufficient Cub and exchange for other assets and meet my $100 minimum stake rule. I have that minimum to make sure the BNB fees aren't too outrageous!

In short it's VERY NICE (thank you!) having a fairly decent amount Vested into Cub because I make chunky returns on a daily basis.

I've also diversified small amounts of my earnings into other Defi Platforms, namely:

  • Pancake (or more like LEFT money in here rather than having transferred it to Cub!)
  • Swamp Finance - an aggregator (so via Panda Swap) - mainly as it was an alternative place for me to stake my SXP while I pulled it out of BEP pending the Rune Pump.
  • Neon - a pure and utterly degenerate PUNT - I bought some on the financial advice of @tarazkp and just chucked it straight in the neon pool.

When I say I've diversified small amounts, I mean small, the allocation is as follows, with CUB remaining as 90% of my Defi Investments:

Too small amounts in the non-Cub pools to make a difference?

The reason I've put (or kept in the case of Cake) 10% of my DEFI assets into other projects is the following:

  1. The INSANE returns - the NEON pool is floating around 100% APY and the SXP farm on Swamp was 300% when I went in, now around 250%, but the main reason is...
  2. Because of the potential for Swamp and or NEON to go on the rampage and grow 5-10 times (I can't see cake mooning too hard, but you never know, that's the problem with DEFI, you NEVER know!)

However the problem I've got is that the amounts I've got in Cake, Neon and Swamp mean it's only worth harvesting about twice a week, if that, and then it's only worth swapping for stables and pooling them, guess where: in Cub, because I'm not buying any more Swamp or Neon.

Of course if these alternative Defi coins do pump then I can harvest more often, but as it stands I'm going to have to leave my funds where they are for a few weeks to make sure I cover the entry and exist costs!

I'm now wondering if this 10% of my wealth in is worth it - I may have been better off just keeping it in Cub!

Then again, my 10% into 'risk assets' has worked well so far - it's kind of cascading:

  • 10% of fiat assets into crypto
  • 10% of crypto assets staked into Defi
  • 10% of Defi earnings staked into degenerate Defi.

If it all goes tits up and Swamp and Neon end up being a loss, that's 0.1% of my starting wealth, so in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter, it's worth it just for a bit of a play!

Of course Cub could increase in Price too, but ATM it's still very obviously a Hive bubble and hardly anyone outside of the ecosystem investing.

I am just going to continue day trading, the defi contracts have only slowed me down. Good luck though, I have been watching and interested in DeFi,

CAKE was actually seeing a bit of a pump today. Nothing huge, but it was still pretty impressive. I noticed it and I am only holding about one of the tokens right now. That CUB/BUSD farm is pretty awesome! That is where the majority of my funds are.

I noticed Cake is doing pretty well yes!

I quite like that CUB BUSD pool myself!

Hola, he visto eso de Cub pero como es??

You're the perfect encyclopedia for all things cub and DeFi, I have a very small and limited pool, im more focused on the cub dens pools, all these are multiple streams of pool with different APR

It's a good place to be I think, CUB!

Definitely a good place, and its been exciting having to check the farm as it gains

I've pulled right back. I was in two dens and two pools on cub and a pool and a farm on swamp but decided to focus a bit more so I don't lose track. Now I have one farm on Ape and one on cub. Makes me much happier! So far steered clear of the crazy neon. Will probably ape in when it's too late to make massive profits!

I quite like just being diversified on Cub, I find that LP tracker easy to, well, keep track of things, TBH it's just a place to store some of my crypto assets and make a return!

Yeah, I might add to my bags join cub. I keep looking at the rest of my Holdings and thing is a terrible waste them just sitting there!

I've got about 20% of my BTC and half of my ETH sitting in those Dens, I wouldn't want to put in more than that though!

Thats quite a coincidence, I have roughly the same percentage!

I dunno, I think the 5-10% in risky assets is fairly standard!

who can tell me why I can NOT publish post
