How to understand that the TVL of friend.tech is stable now, but the price of Key is declining?
Original author: 0x Loki, Xinhuo Technology
First of all, you need to understand that under the assumption of pure speculation, a purchase of Key will result in an immediate loss of 22% based on book value (10% is just a blindfold), and an immediate loss of 70% + based on EV (22% is just a second blinding trick) ;
After understanding the first step and then calculating again, you will find that the key price does not need to rise to a very high position to extend the EV payback period indefinitely. At this time, the entire FT market will become a [guess the mean 2] /3], the Key price speculation threshold corresponding to the market equilibrium point continues to decrease, that is, at this stage, funds are flowing to lower-priced Keys, and the market with lower market value has been monopolized by Bot;
What breaks the game is to reduce the ranking of some keys in potential liquidation by providing utility, thereby increasing the EV of other keys until we get rid of Ponzi. Unfortunately, Bot and the 5% FT handling fee are killing this market and eliminating the game. possibility.
How to understand the difference between EV and book value:
Zhang San, Li Si and Wang Wu raised funds to buy a cow, a duck and an egg.
It is agreed that the person who quits first will take the cow, the second person will take the duck, and the last person will take the egg.
Zhang San/Li Si/Wang Wu all feel that they have the right to claim a cow.
But in fact, their rights to claim are equal.
In the end, there were 6 results, and three of them took them respectively:
The six probabilities are equal
Therefore, what Zhang San really owns = 2/6*ox + 2/6*egg + 2/6*duck
That is 1/3 cow, 1/3 duck, 1/3 egg
At this time, Zhao Liuxin joined the game and he needed to provide a house
When he joined, the house was divided into four parts, and Zhang, Li, Si, Wang and Wu each got 1/4.
This is why from an EV perspective, buying means losing 70% +
