With $GME and $AMC live soon on @mirror_protocol and the absolute madness that played out in the traditional financial markets this week, there's no better than now to go decentralized.

A summary on Mirror Protocol, how it works, and its potential

🧵👇

 1/

@mirror_protocol is a decentralized synthetics protocol built primarily on Terra blockchain. It enables users to gain exposure to various real-world assets (stocks, cryptocurrencies, etc.) through the creation and trading of on-chain synthetic assets, called mAssets
2/

At the time of writing, the assets supported consists mainly of US-based equities (e.g. $FB, $AMZN, $ABNB), with other asset class such as cryptocurrencies coming in the pipeline starting with $BTC and $ETH, as well as a number of others currently in governance voting process
3/

The protocol the offers numerous advantages and benefits over traditional exchanges and markets
4/

1) First, unlike the example that we saw with Robinhood this week, there's no central entity with the power to pause/restrict trading on any asset, much less the ridiculous one-sided disablement of buying or selling that we've witnessed

https://t.co/4dS0oNPrQ0
5/

2) The protocol enables users to gain access and price exposure to the available assets without the restrictions and burdens of accessing, owning, and transacting stocks in traditional markets
6/

3) As the protocol matures, the breadth of supported asset will continue to grow. While we're starting with with US-based stocks, the protocol itself can support essentially any asset class

Those looking to add new assets can easily do so through governance proposals
7/

4) Finally, the tokenization of the assets allow for fractional ownership, lowering the monetary barrier to entry for anyone that's interested in participating
8/

Now let's get into the protocol itself and its various components. The protocol itself relies on 5 main parties:

- Oracle
- Minter
- Liquidity Provider
- Trader
- Staker
9/ Oracle

The oracle is the sole entity permitted and responsible for providing an accurate and up-to-date price feed of the mAssets. The price data itself is then used in 3 scenarios:

- minting new mAsset tokens
- calculating the collateral ratio
- liquidation
10/

The oracle role is currently mostly fulfilled by @BandProtocol, with the price data being updated every 15 seconds. The data themselves originates from @iexcloud for stock prices and the Band Standard Dataset for cryptocurrencies.

https://t.co/o81VSoBWTf
11/

There are two things to note here:

1) the oracle price is not the trading price of the mAssets Instead, the trading price are determined by the reserve ratio of the mAsset vs UST in their liquidity pool, similar to other protocols such as @UniswapProtocol
12/

2) The protocol only consider price data to be valid for 60 seconds. If prices are not updated by then, CDP functions (mint, burn, deposit, withdraw) are disabled. This means that CDP functionality are only available when the when real-world markets for the asset are open
13/

These can lead to a number of side effects. The one that many would have noticed is when there is excess buying/selling demand during after-market hours.
14/

Since no mAssets can be minted or burned during these times, excessive buying/selling during these times will lead to an mAsset’s trading price to deviate away from the last updated oracle price.
15/

This clearly represents an arbitrage opporunity that, once the market opens back up and CDP functionality resumes, has shown to be taken advantage of by various trader and protocol users.
16/ Minter

A minter is a user that enters into a collateralized debt position (CDP) in order to obtain newly minted mAsset tokens. The assets allowed to be used as collateral includes UST (Terra’s USD stable coin) or other mAssets.
17/

Once a CDP position is open, minters must maintain a collateral ratio. The ratio itself varies for each assets, and are determined through governance.

Minters are then effectively take a short position against the mAsset’s price direction.
18/

Minters can adjust their ratio by either burning mAssets or depositing more collateral.
19/ Liquidity Providers

A liquidity provider enables the trading of the mAssets. They achieve this by adding equal amounts of an mAsset and UST to a corresponding liquidity pool, either through Terraswap (https://t.co/UVN63vBzpi) on Terra, or equivalent pools on other chains
20/

In return for providing liquidity, LP's receive newly minted LP tokens, which represents their share of the pool. LPs are also rewarded in the form of trading fees similar to Uniswap.
21/

To stop being a liquidity provider, a user can burn their LP tokens to reclaim their share of the mAsset and UST from the pool.
22/ Trader

A trader engages in the buying and selling of mAssets through liquidity pools. Again, note that the price at which the trader buys or sells mAssets are not specified by the oracle, but instead the current ratio of the reserves available in each asset’s liquidity pool.
23/ Staker

A staker is a user that stakes either their LP tokens (acquired through providing liquidity in the protocol) or $MIR tokens (Mirror’s governance tokens) in order to earn staking rewards in the form of MIR tokens.
24/

The sources in which these rewarded $MIR tokens are acquired differs however, LP token stakers earn MIR minted from inflation, whereas MIR token stakers earn MIR rewards from CDP withdrawal fees.
25/

MIR stakers are also eligible to partipate in the protocol’s governacne, with their voting power tied to the amount of MIRs they have staked.
26/ Governnace

Governance enable proposals, called polls, to be proposed, voted on, and passed to make changes to the protocol. The process community-led, where those who are eligible are those who have MIR tokens staked on the protocol’s Gov contract https://t.co/F5dO5YjcdF
27/

Again, the voting power for each eligible voter is then proportional to the amount of MIRs they have staked.
28/

Once submited, the poll can be voted on by the community until its voting period expired. For a poll to pass, three conditions must be met:

- it must pass quorum and threshold conditions
- it is ratified
- its contents can automatically be applied after a set period of time
29/ Multi-Chain

While the core contract and CDP functionality exists solely on the Terra chain, mAssets are designed to be accessible and tradable on multiple blockchains.
30/

This cross-chain transfer is facilitated by the Shuttle bridge, enabling mAssets and other Terra assets to be transferred and traded on protocols that exists on other chains such as Uniswap
31/

Lastly, I'm more than excited to have played a part in the protocol through our partnership with the Mirror team. With that said, this is only the start and I can't wait to see where we go from here 🌟
32/

Hats off to @d0h0k1 and the entire Mirror team for all their work and success thus far and looking forward to building even greater things together!

BEST OPTIONS STRATEGY FOR CONSISTENT INCOME -

OPTIONS WHEEL STRATEGY

Everything to know about this strategy I'm posting in this thread.

(1/12)

1. For this strategy you're going to have to choose some stocks that you think will be doing well in the future/long term.

2. Stock must be in an uptrend.

3. Stock options should be liquid enough to trade in.

4. List of stocks attached

(2/12)


Step 2: Which option to sell?

1. Sell put at a support according to charts.

2. Sell put at a strike far away from the spot where you think the probability of the stock falling will be very very low.

3. Sell put at a price where you're willing to buy the stock at.

(3/12)


Step 3: What to do when in profit/loss?

1. If in profit you can just roll up the puts thereby increasing the ROI or shift to other stocks to make more profit.

2. If in loss take delivery of the shares equivalent to the lot size in cash market.

(4/12)

Step 4: What to do after taking the delivery?

1. Sell calls to lower your cost price of the stock. For eg, you took delivery of Reliance at 1900, sell 2100 CE which is about 10% away.

OK, I guess I have a thing to say about the stock market. I have done kind of what these Reddit folks are doing with it, in that I have invested in the stock market when I was not at all rich, using parts of my paycheck that it probably wasn't wise to risk. I don't now. (thread)

But, like, it worked out okay for me. I even shorted some stuff. I didn't coordinate with anyone or whatever, but I don't think on the individual level the stock market is *inherently* malicious. If you're privileged, you're going to be exposed to it (through 401ks, etc.)

And I don't think it's wrong for people to try to make money off of it outside of the 401k/retirement context that's socially normal, *especially* if they're desperate like I was. There *are* strategies that you can use that, while risky, aren't exactly like gambling

Like, gambling is risky in a different way. You are always working with a fairly consistent set of probabilities in gambling, and they're never in your favor (outside of grey area gambling like between friends, where you could hypothetically actually still card count)

Anyway, like, on shorts: I don't think they're evil. I think they're dangerous. For an individual, a short always carries a small risk of individual bankruptcy. There's USUALLY not even a huge upside to them; they're not mystical or magical, they're basically reverse "longs"

Most of the successful traders here are option sellers.

Ever wondered why?

Why we have chosen option selling?

Find our below

1: Being wrong and still making money.

We as option sellers can be wrong with our market view and still end up making money because of the power of theta decay and adjustments to some extent.

Adjustments work better as get closer to expiry since decay is the highest.

2: Theta decay

The biggest reason and one of the prime reasons is the theta decay.

Option sellers always have an advantage because the as time passes, the option premium falls even if the underlying instrument doesn't move.

3:Playing directional view

Option selling also enables us to take a directional view. In fact, directional view along with theta decay makes it a solid combination.

Debit spreads and credit spreads works great for a directional view.

4: Playing Neutral view

We can make money in option selling even if the market doesn't move as the otm options will go to 0 with the help of theta decay. It's the most fascinating thing.

This is what attracted many into option selling.

#Thread Two divine forms of Khatu Shyam ji...


On the day of Amavasya, devotees get the darshan of Shyam Baba in Shyam varan (black color). In ordinary days, the form of Baba is saffron. The reason for this is a custom. The real head of Shyam Baba which had appeared from Shyam Kund is of Shyam varan.


Every day Shyam Baba's grand Shringar is done by Pujaris. The main part of Shyam Baba's shringar is Tilak. This Shringar is done by the members of Nij Mandir sevaks. The sevaks of the Nij Mandir do sandalwood tilak to Baba everyday in the auspicious time.


This Divine Tilak is applied from the forehead to the nose. When Baba is given a bath by sevaks, this tilak comes off. Then in the auspicious time, the sevaks again apply tilak to Baba.


There is no auspicious time on the Amavasya. Because of this, tilak is not done on that day. That's why devotees have darshan of Shyam Baba on the Amavasya only in the actual real form (Shyam Swaroop). Baba's tilak is done on Amavasya only on the day of Deepawali.

So, you’re a writer and you’re worried about writing outside your immediate experiences and identities.

Here is the thread of practical advice for you.

EXAMINE YOUR MOTIVES. Why do you want to write this?

Are you trying to solve racism/sexism/colonialism with your work?

As writers we love stories about heroic writers whose work has changed the world. And as such we like to look to our own writing to solve societal problems.

And I understand this completely, not the least because I’ve felt the pull.

But if you’re looking to play saviour with your words, it is unlikely that you will do the marginalised people you are trying to save justice.

And I understand this very often comes from place of good intentions, but there is a reason that most of the moralising plays written by white abolitionists are deeply uncomfortable to read.

It is incredibly easy for works looking to play saviour to become patronising or traffic in simplistic stereotypes that ultimately hurt the people they are looking to rescue.

Saptapadi

The most essential rite (Sanskrit: rītī) of a Hindu marriage ceremony is Saptapadi (English: seven steps, saptapadī). Saptapadi is a Sanskrit term that means "seven steps." The wedded couple walks seven steps after tying the Mangalsutra, which is known as Saptapadi.


The couple legally becomes husband and wife after the seventh step.
Hindu wedding rituals: During Saath Phere, the bride and groom exchange their marital vows while circumambulating (walking around) the sacred fire seven times.


This is because the bride and groom exchange marriage vows and hope for a happy married life together.

1. The first marriage vow, out of seven, is a petition to the Lord for nutrition and nourishment for the Hindu bride and groom.


2. Hindu Bride and Groom: The second marriage promise is for strength in sickness, health, good times, and terrible times.

3. For the Hindu Bride and Groom - The third marriage promise is for the Hindu bride and groom's prosperity.

4. For Hindu Bride and Groom - The fourth pledge is to stand by their families in good times and bad.

WEAPONS OF MAHADEV

Sarvaripati Shiva is one of the most fearsome manifestations of Mahadev. Assigned with destroying all of the universes at the end of time, Shiva is one of the most fearsome warriors. He is the Mrityunjaya.
Here are some weapons associated with him:


TRISHULA: the 3 pointed blades denote creation, maintenance, and destruction or the 3 Kalas – Past, Present and Future. They also represent 3 Gunas – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas).
Shiva’s trishul can only be stopped by Shiva himself.
@onlyonenetra @DetheEsha


Trishul is also said to represent Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These are the three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – in the pranamaya kosha, or the energy body of the human system.
@iamkamyabuch @unever_followme


PARASHU: axe with 4 cutting edges which Shiva gave to Parashurama. In his anger, Parashurama used the parashu to get rid of the all the Earth’s tyrannical kshatriya caste twenty-one times over.
@harshasherni


CHANDRAHASA SWORD: The divine sword Chandrahasa literally means ‘the laughter of the moon’. Ravana gave this sword to Indrajit on different occasions especially to fight against Devas.
GIRISH: A special sword of Shiva with unique characteristics.
