HODL isn't overrated in crypto, and it goes beyond just BTC. It's particularly relevant for cryptocurrencies known for their utility, strong community support and long-term growth potential. Holding long-term makes sense for tokens/coins with real value and use cases. Typical examples in my wallet; are XMR, RAIL, LINK, XRP, UNI and a few others. You don't expect to do much with memecoins or NFTs as those are mostly P&D.
Governance tokens are pretty ubiquitous across all chains, unfortunately. UNI still dangles the eternal carrot of a possible fee switch being turned on for current holders. DAO governance being so completely broken for most implementations is the real issue for me. I refuse to ever buy any defi tokens that don't have direct fee accrual, burn mechanisms, etc. It's even more of a joke when you have a gov token and the company is primarily backed by private equity. For the love of god don't buy gov tokens assuming they're going to act the same as stocks.
There are AMM tokens (Automated Market Maker). Like UNI (Uniswap). There are other tokens taking on Uniswap. One is ALGB. Currently 70% of collected fees from Dexs that use Algebra goes to burning ALGB tokens. Soon that will be redirected to ALGB stakers. So the more Dexs that adopted Algebra and the more volume they generate, the more staking rewards that go to the stakers. Currently Sushi is looking into adopting Algebra. If that happens I expect a lot of fees going to ALGB stakers. ALGB is currently a 7 million dollar market cap. Burns about $1100 a day of ALGB.
I’ve been thinking about UNI just thinking if it’ll go down at all first in the next week
I've only lost money in UNI - because they still have tokens they are selling. They are using UNI to fund the company over the next few years. If you got the UNI drop and sold you got lucky. Every purchase I've made since has been down at least 60% at times and is still down 40% overall. Otherwise, this is a great strategy. I liked Orca - cutting off American traders was a mistake, they should have found a way to comply. Still can hold LPs there as an American, and they pay well. Growth in Orca will only continue, wish I knew more about their token. I used Apricot on Solana to short it for a while and captured some gains. Just was doing swing trading against times it hit new highs and paid it back days later at a reduced rate. Godspeed.
Anyone know why UNI pumps so hard?
BTC is king. However, why have ETH when you can get exposure to it with UNI, which is more volatile. Same with SOL, such as with ORCA / RAY combo. MATIC you can have QUICK instead. Again, same exposure to these, but higher volatility.
The appeal of CRO, what drove it during the bull run had a lot to do with their tiered CC system that gave you rewards in CRO. They got rid of that and left a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouth. Why CRO instead of countless other options? I mean shit you’re looking at the same return to ATH with UNI and that’s way more relevant.
It's wild how things get when prices hit euphoria levels. People making big bucks from their investments, it's insane. Hoping UNI, DAFI, BNB, SOL will have a great run during this bull market. I've been staking DAFI since the middle of the bear market, made some gains so far—let's see how much more we can rake in.
UNI has been a huge disappointment. With you there.
ADA and UNI, both sick and are far from their previous ATH
>And if you ask yourself why we need to have overcapitalized loans in DeFi, it's because there is no antidote to volatility. If you're referring to undercollateralized loans vs over then in that case the issue is trust and being able to get the legal system involved. Also the degree of overcollaterlization (eg. economic inefficiency) is related to liquidity depth and ultimately how fast and effective a position can be liquidated. We're already starting to see experiments with more efficient parameters in this regard, but yes there's no argument that overcollateralization is inefficient by it's defined nature. I think that at this stage we have tradeoffs in terms of lack of a good identity and trust based system where trust is needed (eg. undercollateralized loans) which tbd if those will become a thing on chain. But at the same time there's a higher level of efficiency gained by on chain defi such as being able to use tokenized LP positions as collateral. A great example of something that's super efficient that's only possible onchain is: The ability to gain 50x exposure to LP fees on a stablecoin pair with no risk of liquidation and low risk of impermanent loss. The way this works: \- Take a flashloan for 49x your DAI stack \- Swap \~50% so you have a 50/50 balance of USDC/DAI \- Deposit stables into UNI-V3 1/5bps concentrated liquidity pools via Gelato/Arrakis which gives you a GUNI token that represents your LP position + fees incurred \- GUNI tokens can be used in MakerDAO to borrow more DAI and liquidations are disabled on that vault because the collateral = $1 + LP fees and you're borrowing $1 \- You then borrow 49X DAI to pay off your flash loan Result: You're earning fees LPing on a stable pair that's 50x your initial capital. Pretty efficient.

I wouldn't add any more. You have a lot and that's a lot to pay attention to. I'd probably get rid of LTC, XRP, UNI and put them in BTC ETH & SOL. Those are the only 3 I'd be DCAing into unless I found a super low cap with a great future (Look at Hivemapper, buy a dashcam and make crypto for free by driving and making maps).
Is your staking position including staking rewards outperforming Bitcoin? Might be worth checking that. I speak from experience. All of my 2020/21 alts have lost massively against Bitcoin since I bought them. UNI, DOT, ADA. Even ETH performance is lackluster against Bitcoin since the previous top. I’m far from a maxi, but over the last two years I would have been far better off if I converted everything to BTC to ride out the bear market.
CMC Markets has enabled crypto trading. BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, AAVE, LINK and UNI. Smells like a start of a bull run
20-30% gains ain’t shit, wake me up at halving or when UNI, MATIC, and ETH double

Seems like a few DEX coins were up. Sushi being a top one, but UNI was doing *okay,* some others recovered from what's *hopefully* their all time lows. Maybe people see value in those for the future?
UNI and AAVE started pumping solo. Is there DeFi news?

OK, let me be honest but also biased. I work at SwissBorg, which technically is not an exchange, it is a crypto wealth management platform, which includes also an exchange aggregator. It encompasses 5 exchanges (Binance, Kraken, BitFinex, HitBTC, Huobi) that are seamlessly integrated into our "smart engine", an algorithm that always hunts for the best exchange rate. Being an exchange aggregator, on SwissBorg it is possible to even swap synthetic pairs, for ex you can directly swap PaxGold for UniSwap token. On a traditional exchange, you should first go to exchange PaxGold to ETH and then ETH > UNI, as you'll hardly find any PaxGold - UNI pair on Binance or elsewhere. And of all of these exchanges liquidity is available with just one account. You use them without having to register in each one of them, avoiding repetitive and useless KYC. To sum up, SwissBorg can be the best choice, due to: * An easy interface that makes SB the crypto app that even your parents can use! * Best rate over 5 of the major exchanges * Synthetic pairs with just one swap * DeFi accessible with one click without setting a Metamask wallet, with always new vaults where to invest in * And one of the last crypto platforms left with a fiat gateway, position that we are bound to reinforce as our compliance team is the top of the top! :) * Yes, you can change your crypto to EUR and withdraw the profits to any bank account in the EU, even Revolut \^\^ For intellectual honesty, I'm not going to post any affiliate link or any link whatsoever. Just google "SwissBorg" and DYOR! ;-)

tldr; HayCoin, the test coin created by Uniswap founder Hayden Adams, experienced a surge in value after Adams decided to burn 99.99% of the token's supply. The price of HayCoin increased by 273% in a single day, reaching $2,538,123. Adams expressed discomfort with owning most of the supply and burned his entire supply to distance himself from the token. Uniswap, the dominant decentralized exchange (DEX), achieved a record trading volume of over $100 billion in October. The platform's v4 update introduces enhanced liquidity pool customization and optimization for gas usage. Despite successes, Uniswap faced challenges, including adjusting swap fees and a decline in the price of its UNI token. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Last Updated Oct 20, 2023 @ 08:05 Uniswap’s on-chain activity has rising amid a decline in UNI’s price. The recent introduction of fees by Uniswap sparked speculation about a ‘sell the news’ reaction, a closer examination, however, offers a different perspective. Despite a 5% decline in UNI’s price since the initial announcement, Uniswap’s on-chain activity has grown. According to the latest insight by Santiment, a noticeable disparity is observed in the diminishing UNI price and the increasing on-chain activity. The crypto analytic platform said that the negative MVRV suggests short-term UNI holders are perhaps feeling some pain. But Active Addresses and Network Growth are two metrics that have surged to levels not seen since July this year. Interestingly, this trend has been on the rise despite a downtrend on the price side of things. Uniswap Labs, the organization behind the decentralized crypto exchange, imposed a 0.15% fee starting Tuesday on trades involving ETH, USDC, and other tokens. Only swaps that execute through Uniswap Labs’ front end will be taxed. This fee differs from Uniswap’s current “protocol fee,” which is overseen by governance voters. Uniswap Labs is imposing this fee as part of its effort to sustainably fund its operations. According to Uniswap creator Hayden Adams, this interface fee will enable them to continue to research, develop, build, ship, improve, and expand crypto and DeFi. While the introduction of the fee has led many investors to dump the asset and create FUD, a hook enabling Know Your Customer (KYC) verification on the upcoming Uniswap v4 pools has sparked discussions regarding the future of DeFi, despite it being an opt-in functionality.

I made almost $100k in 2021/2022 just from airdrops. Could have done it with $50 total, you just have to try protocols out. Registered an ENS name, made $40k ENS. Swapped on Uniswap, $16k UNI. Held $80 of AMPL, got $30k FORTH. Didn’t sell the top on any of these, but sold enough to cover taxes and take a year off work.
I got some UNI, I think it's at a good price
Yes, UNI and ALGO have bled the most, but I'm all out of fucks to give for ALGO.
Tomorrow is my *altcoin* DCA day. I'm between ATOM, UNI, and AVAX, which are the most down in my portfolio. Are any of them worth averaging down or should I just go balls to the wall BTC?
Thanks. Maybe, not sure. Someone said it's possible but I'm not holding my breath. For me it was mostly just "Aw shucks, my UNI airdrop was in there..."
Imagine owning UNI as a governance token and fee sharing that is useless for governance because they do whatever they want and you get no sharing from the new fees. This my friends, is what we call a shitcoin.
Even UNI after recent news?
LINK and moons for me, with a side of UNI.
I wonder if this will go to UNI token holders?
According to The Block, Uniswap (UNI) plans to apply a 0.15% fee to certain cryptocurrency transactions within the web interface and wallet starting on the 17th (local time). Tokens to which fees apply are ETH, USDC, WETH, USDT, DAI, WBTC, agEUR, GUSD, LUSD, EUROC, and XSGD. In this regard, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams explained, "This action is separate from UNI Token Governance's proposal to switch the Uniswap protocol fee." The Block Research estimated that applying a 0.15% commission would increase revenue by about $1 million per day.
Dont they make an absolute raking with the UNI token though? Its main purpose was to raise capital right

Correct, this will (essentially) kill UNI. Sure, some semblance of a customer base might remain, but most will move to an actual DEX without KYC. We’ll see if they can avoid this.
tldr; Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Ethereum blockchain. It offers a different approach to trading compared to centralized platforms like Coinbase and Binance. Uniswap operates on an automated liquidity protocol and allows users to trade ERC-20 tokens without the need for a centralized authority. It is open-source and anyone can list tokens on the exchange for free. Uniswap has gained popularity in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space and has over $3 billion in crypto assets locked on its protocol. Users have control over their funds and can participate in the governance of the platform through UNI tokens. To use Uniswap, users need an Ethereum wallet and Ether (ETH) to cover transaction fees. Uniswap has faced security issues in the past, but measures have been taken to address them. Overall, Uniswap provides a user-friendly and secure platform for decentralized trading. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I am literally saving all the comments in the thread I fuckin love it You guys just came here to get rich and it's really clear lmfao For the record I listen to crypto devs all day long and they're all fuckin jacked. Not a lot of them are worried about price action right now because there's so many incredible projects that are gathering tons of steam. UNI back near ATL at the same time they're releasing intents and revolutionizing Defi? 3B market cap for a half B in daily volume? Come on, the value menu finally opened back up and y'all wanna go home
LINK, UNI for example

According to Coinmarketcap there are currently [935 coins](https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/uniswap#:~:text=Currently%2C%20there%20are%20938%20coins,a%2024h%20volume%20of%20%24319%2C357%2C719.14.) available to be traded on Uniswap and [3,223 coins](https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/pancakeswap) on PancakeSwap. ***** Would you like to learn more?

The UNI airdrop was insane. I couldn't believe it at first. It was like winning the lottery to my inexperienced self.
UNI, 1INCH & ARB were kind to me. I hope to get some of the new projects coming out in the coming year.
4, ETH, Moons and LINK and UNI. I don't really consider ETH an alt myself but that is the definition. If the flippening every occurs maybe BTC will be the ult?
DCA into moons, ETH, BTC, LINK and UNI.
Yes i was surprised too, is it a governance token like UNI ?
I've also considered UNI for the same reason. Could it do a 10x? Yeah that's reasonable. But I haven't pulled the trigger... holding off for now
Is UNI worthwhile to invest in? I sold all my positions in DOT, ATOM, CRV and YFI in order to focus on BTC and ETH. But still, I'd like to have *something* in DeFi as well. UNI would be a rather safe one, right? Could it still do a 10x next bull run?
Bitcoin tends to have a big impact on the rest of the market especially in October, so seeing what happens with the ETF approval this month will be interesting. I'm excited to see how ZIL, DAFI, and UNI perform in the coming weeks, but I don't know who else is beta-testing DAFI.
All this Ramen talk, I need to make some homemade Ramen this weekend, sounds so good. I'm buying ETH, BTH, LINK and UNI!
Thoughts on AVAX and UNI? Feels like they fallen alot and their tokenomics doesn't seem promising anymore
Scambase stolenmy UNI in 2020.. never used it ever since..
Both Coinmarketcap and CoinGecko list Uniswap (UNI) as the biggest one
I don't hold UNI, but I'd vote yes if I did. Half of DeFi just copies the work these guys do anyway. They deserve it.
Somehow I don't think this benefits UNI holders
except BTC or ETH, i would say LINK or UNI
I hold those with some LINK and UNI sprinkled in.
There are certain alts that are undervalued, like UNI at 4usd, and other that are slightly overvalued like MATIC maybe or TON?
BTC/ETH/LINK/MOON/UNI is my DCA routine at the moment.
BTC, ETH, LINK (love the use cases) and UNI (I think DEXes will lead the way in the next bull).
Don't mean to put you on the spot, but would you mind listing the three altcoins? Mine I like are LINK, BCH, QNT, AVAX, XRP, DOGE, SHIB, UNI, ELON. Open to others, swapping, etc.
How is UNI doing in the future?
It seems like the options mentioned here are centralized. It would be great to have more decentralized alternatives in the future. Personally, I'm keeping an eye on DAFI. Additionally, I think UNI should have been included in the list. There are also blockchain-based platforms where you can trade futures, but I can't recall their names at the moment.
Yeah I am considering adding a small bag of either CAKE or UNI to my portfolio.
