The strength demonstrated by assets during downturns, especially their performance compared to other assets, is an indicator that provides us with a lot of information. The declines in asset prices are only bought by the inelastic demand for the asset or by investors who believe that at certain prices, the return on these assets will ensure the recovery of investments within a certain period.

Really interesting debate among prominent figures in the Crypto space on a topic that seems extremely relevant to understanding the fundamentals of Layer 1s https://polynya.mirror.xyz/gm6bUvvDF-sQAt7HuU6kRKCLIT9tAuaSCxHeNFdDVHk Let's start with one of the main questions that arise about the demand for deccentralized blockspace. “I find it very convincing that long-term, (decentralized) blockspace demand is highly elastic (and very unlikely to be inelastic). Are there any good economic ar...

t is still too early to have sufficient data on the profitability for content creators on the LensFrens and FriendTech platforms, but it is possible to conduct an initial analysis. The question we are going to try to answer is which platform is more profitable for content creators. I must first issue a disclaimer that I am an investor in Superfluid. However, I also have exposure with FriendTech. Nevertheless, my fundamental goal is to remain objective and not cheat myself. Let's refine t...

My username on social media is 'speculation' and it is part of a small crusade I've had for a long time to try to bring value to this much-maligned term. Another project I founded in Spain a long time ago was Crypto Plaza, using another much-maligned term, 'Crypto'. Engaging in these crusades has a strong negative social impact, and I'm not really sure if it makes much sense. Maybe I should change my name since, in the end, the impact I can humbly make may not ou...

The tipping strategy is probably one of the fundamental drivers of Degen's price, although it is not the only one. The market, the trend of Farcaster, and direct competitors within the network also play a role. However, we could say that, as expected, the strategic changes in Session 6 halted the strong downward trend of the token.Degen Token PriceThe measures were taken too late; we had been warning about this several months earlier. It was certainly a very controversial decision, espec...

We believe that adding this capability to the project could potentially increase the volume of assets deposited in the protocol by at least fivefold, in addition to improving other metrics. Derivative protocols typically exhibit a higher number of long positio...

In this article, we analyze the DEGEN strategy in its 6th session, which comes with interesting proposals regarding the token. To do this, we will analyze each rule in this new session, what strategy it implies, and what impact it might have. We begin with the first point, which establishes a minimum of 10K DEGEN to be locked for 3 months in order to qualify for obtaining DEGENs for tipping. The minimum amount remains at 10K, and the main difference is that now it must be locked for 3 months ...

Let's try to analyze DEGEN's strategy over the past few months. Here is the article I wrote a few months ago, which we are now going to review. https://mirror.xyz/0x3e0cf03f718520F30300266dcF4DB50bA12d3331/Jq6L-lobWp86vKUdA5A6kbR2JvomqNMep_6-rVi0agg The price is relevant insofar as it reflects the market's valuation of the project.
