0/ [RESEARCH RECAP PUBLIC RELEASE]

First, a huge thank you to everyone who's supported the Delphi team this past year!

As a small token of appreciation, we’re releasing a special edition report covering some of our best work recently!

TLDR thread

 1/ Bitcoin is King of the Hill…Again

@Kevin_Kelly_II illustrates why #bitcoin can no longer be ignored by investment managers on the back of its 2nd consecutive year outperforming just about every major asset class.

https://t.co/aR8iwhbgnD
2/ The Bitcoin Bull Case: 2021 & Beyond

@mediodelphi's rigorous on-chain analysis paints the ideal setup for BTC while @Kevin_Kelly_II reaffirms several technical & macro tailwinds heading into 2021.

$BTC is up ~70% since the report was first published.
https://t.co/uu1Hdx2Zi9
3/ 'Tis the Season

@mediodelphi examines seasonality and foreshadows $ETH outperformance heading into early 2021.

Return since publish (12/23):
🔸ETH = 79%
🔸BTC = 38%
https://t.co/uUu7jM9PxZ
4/ #Ethereum Ecosystem Analysis & ETH 2.0

@Alex_Ged's marquee monthly deep dive into all things ETH.

$ETH began heating up in late Nov. as holders refused to sell & the amount held by centralized exchanges fell ~15%.

A staple report for us internally.
https://t.co/vVvnO2Y2MV
5/ As this market matures, institutions & traditional investors will begin to wade into DeFi.

Pros: strong project teams will attract more capital, harnessing the potential of DeFi.

Cons: greater congestion = higher gas prices.
The savior from this new norm? L2 solutions.
6/ Layer 2: Rollups

@Alex_Ged takes a 28-page deep dive into L2 solutions and provides a comparative analysis for each.

While L2 adoption is far from mainstream, it's important to understand the best potential solutions for various projects.
https://t.co/9LyLVrgG4P
7/ Polkadot’s DeFi Stack

@ashwath_22 examines @Polkadot's focus on scalability & connectivity as a layer 0 protocol and the network’s attempt to recreate similar functionality to Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem.

This was one of our most read reports of Q4.
https://t.co/GKodsLC0LU
8/ If you’re a fan of @AaveAave then you’ll enjoy @ZeMariaMacedo's back-to-back reports on $AAVE token economic structure and proposed enhancements.

The first reviews Aave's current model and how it can be further optimized (11/10/20).
https://t.co/nacxoeeWck
9/ Aave Token Architecture v2

Capital protection is paramount & the core focus of the 2nd report.

Aided by @JonathanErlichL, our team breaks down the strengths & drawbacks of Aave’s Safety Module, which underwrites all risks for protocol participants.
https://t.co/Hz3lzSXWQD
10/ A Look Into Public DeFi Treasuries

When researching any token, it’s important to fully understand the project’s issuance schedule and treasury management

@ashwath_22 explores the treasury models of major projects & their potential impact on price.
https://t.co/sX2MdI7MVK
11/ @iearnfinance didn’t have the luxury of pre-funding a treasury and because the token is fully issued, $YFI adopted a new fee structure with the hopes of using the protocol’s cash flow to attract skilled strategy creators.
12/ On the other hand, @synthetix_io is not fully diluted and is benefiting from the recent $SNX price run up.

With close to 20% of the total $SNX supply, the DAO can generate passive income via trading fees on the protocol paid to stakers, on top of SNX staking rewards.
13/ Meanwhile, @thorchain_org / $RUNE is using its treasury for the sole purpose of funding of its ongoing development.

The model is straightforward and the team doesn’t intend on having a long-lasting treasury, with plans to become obsolete in mid-2022.
14/ Now for DeFi’s golden child: @UniswapProtocol.

As of now, 43% of $UNI supply is vested to its treasury over 4 years. With both $UNI vesting and the free cash flow levels, this protocol may be the best funded treasury around.

Our recap includes 3 possible scenarios:
15/ @iearnfinance was the first major protocol to merge with not one but two DeFi protocols.

Read @ashwath_22's take on the $Pickle acquisition in late November, a relevant topic for those expecting more protocol M&A.
https://t.co/d2iRPoXrwj
16/ The Great yBundling (YFI)

@Shaughnessy119 dissects The Great Unbundling (s/o @benthompson) and the implications for $YFI's moat & value proposition.

One of our most popular Delphi Daily's.
https://t.co/MTglMNVNgq
18/ Public Goods Problem

There are things we all agree we want but remain underfunded. In “Coordination, Public Goods and Crypto (Parts 1 & 2)” @ZeMariaMacedo explores how crypto may be able to solve this problem.
https://t.co/JwRYAFicN2
19/ Jose also provided a great framework for thinking about the broader picture of crypto investing alongside some of the key considerations unique to this market.

Through his exploration, he highlights why insurance might still be undervalued.
https://t.co/Pn6WiV6GsG
20/ The Graph: Our Experience Creating a Subgraph for $ESD

@lukedelphi walks through the subgraph he and our team built for @emptysetdollar using @graphprotocol.

Also includes a step-by-step guide for those more technically inclined!
https://t.co/kSxmbk3jzv
21/ We round out the research recap with a selection of @PodcastDelphi highlights & complimentary access to several FULL length Delphi Daily’s!

Some observations and thoughts on ZILSwap: What went well, its impact on the $ZIL ecosystem and where we need to improve with some concrete plans that are being worked on. A thread:

👇

1/ ZILSwap was launched by @SwitcheoNetwork on Oct 5, 2020 (~2 months old). Soon after, we noticed for the first time, a flurry of ZRC-2 tokens (equiv. of ERC20s on $ZIL) getting launched on the network (even though the fungible token standard had been around for a while).

2/ The ability to provide a marketplace for people to exchange tokens was the trigger for deveopers to start issuing tokens and developing a token economy. In fact, there was a token for which, the entire supply was put on a ZILSwap pool w/o any team withholding.

3/ This was an extreme example of why a DEX was needed and the role it played in bootstrapping several tokens and respective token economies. Over 25 tokens are available on ZILSwap in the form of liquidity pools. The total pool size across all tokens is over USD 1 million.

4/ ZILSwap also made it possible for the first time for anyone to get access to $XSGD (the Singapore Dollar Stablecoin issued by @xfers). In fact $XSGD and $gZIL contribute the greatest proportion of the total pool.

As a former professional poker player, I'm very clear about the importance of psychology in investing/trading.

You can have a very solid strategy, but if the mental aspect fails, everything fails, no matter how good you are.

Thread 👇

In this thread I will briefly describe the most important aspects of trading psychology, and give some simple tips to try to improve them.

It's good to always be aware of these aspects, to be able to detect them and act in time.

1) FEAR

This is one of the most important. It can make you get out of a position at the wrong time.

One of the main reasons you can have fear is because you are putting more at risk than you are willing to lose.

Tip: reduce the size of your position until you are comfortable.

2) GREED

Greed can be even worse than fear. It leads you to be overpositioned and to destroy your average entry.

Tip: learn to conform to what you have. Practice gratitude for everything that comes your way. Remember that the most important thing is to stay in the game.

3) TILT

This is well known in poker. There are many reasons why tilt can appear (downswings, injustice, mistakes...)

Tilt takes you away from your perfect strategy. From your A game.

After a losing streak you may think that the market is being unfair to you.

Technical Analysis and 3 Strategies to deploy for Aggressive, Moderate, and Conservative Traders.

🧵 Weekly Bank Nifty Analysis for 8th December Expiry:


To form a view, let's have a look at:

1. Multi-timeframe Technical Analysis
2. Option Chain Data

Also, 3 strategies to deploy for:

1. Aggressive Traders (2.6%)
2. Moderate Risk Traders (1.3%)
3. Low-Risk Traders (0.8%)


1. Technicals

Let's start by doing some basic technical analysis.

We'll look at:

• Weekly charts.
• Daily charts.
• Hourly / 60 min charts.
• 15 min charts.

1. Weekly-

• The market has given 4 continuous green closes, so not expecting a big momentum on upside.

• This week my view is that it can take a pause.

• Longer term trend is super bullish.

• Any dip will towards 41800 will be a retest, and should be used to go long.


2. Daily:

• Candlestick pattern—Hanging Man

• Chart Pattern—Breakout Failure

• A pin bar candle is very powerful but only after a downmove.

• Here it forms near the top of upmove.

• Means some sellers are present. Below 43000 can sell calls above 43600 for the week.

An irony of facebook's situation.

Sheryl got her MBA at Harvard. One of the most famous cases (Extra Strength Tylenol) in one of the most famous classes (Business History) she took: in 1982, someone put cyanide in Extra Strength Tylenol capsules and killed 7 people in Chicago.

What do you do when someone turns your product into a weapon? When they use the system you built to harm? James Burke, CEO of J&J, was shockingly open with the public, he pulled the product and made significant packaging changes to make product safer (but not tamper-proof).

He over-shared every step along the way re investigation, redesign, stood up as both CEO and human. The reintroduction of new Extra Strength Tylenol succeeded. Burke saved the brand.

But four years later it happened again. A killer put cyanide in the capsules, this time a woman in Yonkers died. Same CEO, Burke, pulled the product again, completely changed the form factor from capsule to caplet and relaunched *again*. It worked *again*. How'd they do that?

Burke (CEO) tapped J&Js goodwill bank account w/ the public. Two big withdrawals from that bank account in four years + 8 dead bodies! But his honesty, openness, humanity (choked up about the deaths more than once), humility kept the goodwill bank balance positive the whole time.

1/ Thread: "A Silicon Valley Ponzi Scheme"

Thanks to @chamath for laying this out in Social Capital's 2018 annual letter.

I've always appreciated his outspokenness.

2/ The hardest thing for most startups today is the path to market: first finding product-market fit & a way to reach customers, then building a ruthless machine to acquire, monetize & retain them.

3/ Because of this, when the VC industry invests capital into fast growing startups today, the plurality (if not majority) of invested capital will go into user acquisition and ad spending, for better or worse— usually worse.

4/ Todays massive venture-backed advertising, sales, and user acquisition playbook has morphed into one that champions growth at any cost.

This is creating a big bill that will soon come due...

5/ Ad impressions and click-throughs are bid up to outrageous prices by startups flush with venture money, and prospective users demand more and more subsidized products to gain their initial attention.

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.


She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.


At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".


EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.


Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.
