The importance of $XHV and its ecosystem of coming xAssets, in a world against privacy. $xUSD $BTC

A Thread.

1/

 Crypto started out, with a brilliant idea. The idea was to create a trustless system of money, that didn't know borders, and catered to all, while granting financial control and privacy to everyone. Thus, bitcoin was invented. $BTC $XHV $xUSD

2/
Over the last 12 years since bitcoin came to the world with a solution against centralized finance, it has spawned thousands of new crypto currencies all targeting specific use cases, and innovative new solutions for almost all industries that exist. $BTC $XHV $xUSD

3/
The sheer amount of potential crypto can offer to the world, is beyond words. It's bigger than anyone can explain, because it changes the economic model into a new system of economics entirely. This has not gone unnoticed by governments. $BTC $XHV $xUSD

4/
Governments are realizing now, that crypto is not going away, and that, it's very easy for people to take control of their finances without needing a bank, or reporting it for income tax. It's a power the people have never had. $BTC $XHV $xUSD

5/
New regulations are being introduced across the world, and most of these regulation, are out to destroy the foundation $BTC was designed for in the first place. They want to get rid of self custody wallet, and make every wallet KYC (know your customer), eliminating privacy.

6/
Lucky for us, crypto has evolved as well, and foresaw the government overreaching regulations coming from a mile away, and set out to build an ecosystem of synthetic assets, that can forever be kept private and in personal control of the one who owns it. They created, $XHV.
7/
$XHV known as the Haven Protocol, is built on the backbone of Monero, giving it privacy that no one has yet been able to crack, and can evolve even if they did. This level of privacy, is incredible for those who understand how precious true privacy really is. $BTC
8/
However, privacy is only the beginning. What they have created with Haven, is essentially an evolved version of what bitcoin intended to be in the first place. A store of value, of not just crypto, but of real world assets. $XHV $xUSD $BTC
9/
$BTC Bitcoin has always been subject to its own volatility, so being a store of value has always been questionable, because your value can drop by 50% in an hour. It is not reliable, and no crypto with volatility is. $XHV is no different in this regard. So they created $xUSD.
10/
$xUSD is a stable coin that is created by, burning $XHV within your own haven wallet. Through the use of pricing oracles such as $BAND and $LINK, they are able to keep track of the market value of $XHV, to determine how many $xUSD you can mint, based on how many XHV you hold.
11/
Vice versa for burning $xUSD back into $XHV if you wish to be subject to the volatility again.All this is done privately in the comfort of your own wallet, and no one else knows, it's only you. You are responsible, you are in control, and no one can seize, or freeze it, ever.
12/
Lets recap. By owning $XHV, you are subject to the volatility of the price of $XHV,which is no different than $BTC. It will fluctuate, sometimes drastically, given market conditions. However,unlike Bitcoin,Haven grants you access to an exit from that volatility through $xUSD.
13/
Do you understand the significance of that? Normally, you would have to sell into a stable coin or fiat currencies, to hedge against the volatility. The problem with this, is there is no such thing, as a private stable coin. $xUSD, is the first ever, private stable coin.
14/
Which means, when you have 20,000 dollars that you want to save but not spend... You can use $xUSD to offshore it in your own personal Haven vault. You can store 20,000 ( or any amount) and know its in a savings account, for later use, with no worries of volatility.
15/
That in and of itself, makes $xUSD a very powerful stable coin. However, Haven has gone the next mile, and decided to create an ecosystem of stable xAssets, tied to the value of it's real world counter part. Giving you options on what you want in your portfolio. $XHV
16/
How cool would it be, to take your hard earned crypto profits, and jump into an xAsset tied to the value of say... Gold? $xGold will be an option in your private Haven vault in the coming months. More and more will be added in time. Do you see the potential here? $XHV $xUSD
17/
The majority of coins, if not all, trade against $BTC, as the primary trading pair. Making all coins sort of dependent upon what BTC does, if btc crashes, they all crash, because their value in BTC drops against the dollar. This is why the tide raises all coins as BTC rises.
18/
With $XHV, this is not the case. XHV is burnt to create all xAssets, therefore, the supply of $XHV is reduced, the more xAssets exist. So XHV can soar in value, while all of its xAssets, remain tied to their real world value taken from the oracles.
19/
So $XHV creates a store of value, in all xAssets, while also creating a more reliable store of value for itself, compared to bitcoin, simply because of the reducing supply. Which can also increase, if many people want to sell out of their xAssets. But their stability remains.
20/
So you can clearly see, that $XHV and its ecosystem of xAssets, is far superior, yet, honors the original intention of $BTC. The Haven Protocol is essentially bitcoin 2.0. And it's only a 30m cap coin.If you've been looking for the next bitcoin.... you've found it. @HavenXHV

How position sizing can affect your trading performance-

Assuming that you are trading a Trend-following system with Big RR and low win-rate.

For example, assume that you risk one percent per trade on a 100,000 account
and you have 20 straight losses.

That one percent is of your remaining equity and at the end of 20 losses, you would be down to 81,790.60.

Now if you got a 30R winner and you are risking one percent of your balance of 81,790.60, your new equity would be 106,327.9,


You’ve had 20 losses and one winner though you are still up 10Rplus your equity is up by 6.3R percent.

Now, let’s say you risk five percent per trade on your balance. At the end of 20 straight losses, you would be down to 35,772.89 or down 64 percent.


If you risk five percent on this amount and get a 30R winner, you would be up to 89,621.48. You are up 10R, but because of your position sizing, your equity is still down over 10 percent.

This is why position sizing is the most important factor in trading if you get it right and you have an edge, you will do good.

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll help you understand Geometric Expectations.


2/

Imagine we have an investment opportunity.

If the investment goes well, we get to double our money.

But if it goes badly, we'll end up losing three fourths of it.

There's a 50/50 chance of either outcome.

The question: is this a good bet or not?

3/

A simple way to approach this question is to calculate the bet's "expectation".

For every $1 we bet, there are 2 possibilities:

1. The lucky case, where we double our money and end up with $2, and

2. The unlucky case, where we lose (3/4)'th to end up with just $0.25.

4/

Each of these outcomes is equally likely.

So, on *average*, every $1 we put in turns into ($2 + $0.25)/2 = $1.125.

This is a *positive* 12.5% return.

Such bets are called *positive expectation* bets. On average, we expect to *make* (rather than *lose*) money on them.

5/

Suppose we could take many turns betting at these odds.

In any one turn, we could of course lose money.

But because our bet has positive expectation, *over time* we expect to make money.

A 🧵on the basics of block and bulk deals.

Block and bulk deals are large purchases of stocks by investment banks, mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, FIIs, and promoters. Tracking block and bulk deals can help give you a sense of what these large players are thinking.

A single transaction where shares more than Rs 10 crores or the number of shares traded are more than 5 lakh is considered a block deal.

Block deals are carried out in separate trading windows. This trading window operates in two shifts of 15 minutes each:

Morning trading window from 8:45 AM to 9:00 AM.
Afternoon trading window from 2:05 PM to 2:20 PM

Block deals happen in different windows to reduce volatility and sudden price movements. Given that they are traded in a separate window, they do not show up on the volume charts.

Brokers facilitating the transaction are required to inform the exchange. You can track bulk and block deals on NSE & BSE:

Knowledge sharing initiative Book 1 : "Mastering the market cycle" by @HowardMarksBook

This incredible book focuses on understanding why periods of recessions & growth occur frequently wearing lenses of all mkt participants-the economists, the investors & the regulators.

(1/n)


The book tries to explain the human tendency of extrapolating the recent past and the imbalance in defining risk at the time of bear & bull markets. It is this tendency that drives booms & busts.

Here are the Important learnings from the book: 👇

(2/n)

1. Every Asset class goes through a cycle - Up & Down this book teaches why such Up & down occur how to spot them & how investors can improve their returns.

(3/n)

2. Its extremely difficult to forecast Macroeconomic variables like interest rate, inflation, GDP etc there's a reason even Central bankers & Presidents of the country fail consistently at the same

(4/n)

3. In down cycle as prices fall odds are in favor of investors & hence we should invest more & Vice Versa
4. Experienced investors–like everyone else–don’t know exactly what the future holds but they do have an above-average understanding of future tendencies & probabilities(5/n)

So it turns out that Google Chrome was making everything on my computer slow *even when it wasn’t running*, because it installs something called Keystone which is basically malware.

I made a website because this shouldn’t

Wired first reported on how bad Keystone was 11 years ago when they put it into Google Earth (they seem to put it in all their popular

The fact that Keystone hides itself in Activity Monitor is bizarre. (The only sign of it was excessive CPU usage of WindowServer which is a system process).

I don’t know if Google was doing something nefarious with Keystone, or a third party figured out how to (which Wired warned about). But either way, I’m not inclined to give Google-the-organization the benefit of the doubt (despite the many good people who work on Chrome)...

...since it's been a decade+ and this still hasn't been "fixed".

There is no reason for auto-update software to need to do what Chrome/Keystone was doing. It also has a long history of crashing Macs.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

A distillation of what @naval said on Clubhouse last night:

What you call chaos I call spontaneity.

A regimented life is like a heartbeat that's non-chaotic; it's a system that’s too ordered. It doesn't have any life to it. And real life has lots of ups and downs, some of them very extreme.

I over-plan, but planning is pretty useless. What tends to dominant life are a small number of Black Swan events in both directions, positive and negative.

Expose yourself to asymmetric upside and lots of good options: things that can become massively important for you.

And you want to avoid the asymmetric downside: anything that can end the game, whether it's through financial ruin, or reputational ruin, or physical ruin.

That requires a certain amount of chaos and spontaneity.

If nothing else, 2020 taught the power of optionality.

We think about planning as linear and controlled, but that's not how the world around us works anymore.

The world is dominated by nonlinearities, so understanding options value is far more important.

Maker movement is doing to startups what startups did to corporations.

Here is why 👇

Startups fixed the problem of innovation, that corporations lack.

In big, slow corporations, innovation is a RISK and distraction from the core $$$ profitable business.

Agile startups could launch, iterate fast and eventually stumble upon new growing market opportunities.

However,

When a startup reaches product-market-fit, it has to 🚀 "grow at all costs" and reach market dominance before some giant corporation can replicate their new product and distribute it to their existing giant customer base.

Startup's "growth at all costs" often means growth at the expense of charging customers $$$ money.

Hence, to be sustainable, startups have to constantly chase investor money.

Startup teams spend more time finding and pleasing investors, than finding and pleasing customers.

95% of startups die because they run out of (investor) money + no business model + crazy investor expectations.

Same way corporations die, when unable to adjust to new technology and market shifts.

I doubt there are many outside of Norway that know that the Norwegian pop group A-ha was critical in the introduction of electric car incentives in Norway. I certainly didn't. Read on...


In 1989, two members of the group, Morten Harket and Magne Furuholmen were in Switzerland with environmentalist Frederic Hauge, when they came across a hobby-converted Fiat Panda. Stated range: 45 km. They snapped it up and imported it to Norway.

Photo: In Switzerland (Bellona)


On arrival in Norway, the regs didn't accommodate the registration of electric cars so it couldn't legally be driven on the road. Since it had a propane-fuelled heater, just like a motorhome, they registered it as a motorhome.

Moreover, in contrast to petrol cars, diesel cars paid registration fees based on how far they were driven, and our heroes thought this should also apply to electric cars. So the two-seater Swiss-converted Fiat Panda was registered as a diesel motorhome in Norway.

They managed (somehow) to avoid paying the one-off registration fee in 1990, and ever since then electric cars have been exempted this now-substantial fee.
