The basics

Fundamentals

The backbone of our investment philosophy is straightforward: We're betting on crypto as the future of finance. If this doesn't resonate with you, that's ok. You can still derive value from our community, simply tweak the tools too be in line with your use-case.

The Game Plan

This is simply how we plan to do things, but it's up to you entirely how you allocate your capital. So: not financial advice. Now that's out of the way, let's dive into the nuts and bolts:

• Asset Distribution: A split of 50% Bitcoin and 50% Ether. From the Ether half, 50% is staked with Lido, with the remainder kept liquid — it's always wise to spread your risks.

• Lending Platforms: With BTC and ETH, we deposit them into a lending platform(s). Our current platform choices are AAVE and Compound. However, if you have a different go-to, adjust accordingly.

• Borrowing Strategy: We borrow 50% in a stablecoin, be it USDT or USDC. The objective? Consistently beat the borrow-rate by a minimum of 1% monthly. As trading gains flow in, repaying this loan becomes a top priority — aiming to clear the slate within 1-2 years.

Post that phase, it is again up to you where to reinvest the profits, here is an example allocation:

• 20% allocated to BTC on AAVE

• 20% to ETH (10% staked, 10% in reserve), also on AAVE

• 5% of both BTC and ETH tucked safely in a hardware wallet

• 30% channeled for tactical trading to further compound our gains

• The remaining 20% is deployed for alt-coins, staking, or other promising yield-generating opportunities. It can also be used to convert back to your local currency to lock in your gains.

This might seem pretty straightforward. However, the real challenge is consistently outperforming that borrow rate in the first couple of years. We will be diving into that in the following sections.

Also, a word of caution. While this method offers potential rewards, it isn’t without risks — from platform uncertainties, possible cyber threats, to volatile market shifts. As always, assessing these risks meticulously and considering protective measures like insurance is prudent.

To wrap it up, our strategy highlights our trust in the long-term ascendancy of BTC and ETH, driven by wider acceptance and advancements in blockchain technology. We trade with on-chain leverage to protect against downside, and boost the upside.
