The Home for DeFi Alpha, Project Review, and Knowledge. DeFi Passively

Investment is nothing but a decision-making process — Buy? Sell? or Hodl? Ultimately your job is to make the right decisions. Instead of focusing on what investments can make you a profit, a better lens is to invest in the things that can help you consistently make the right decisions.

“The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself. The more you learn, the more you’ll earn.” — Warren Buffett

Remember, profit is the outcome of the right decisions.

Making the right decisions is harder than ever

To consistently make the right decisions, you only need two things

  • Quality information
  • The right knowledge

Quality information

In crypto, alpha is more accessible thanks to Twitter/Discord/TG. In fact, they are all over the place, just the problem is there is so much noise.

Many influencers are paid to shill a project. Projects are biased to talk about themselves. People prefer to speak highly of the projects they have bags in.

I did some research on the biggest crypto YouTube accounts back in 2021. Sadly the win-rate is worse than 50–50. Remember most of the 2021 is in an easy mode (a historical bull market).

In DeFi, there are thousands of new projects launching every single day. It’s just impossible for one to keep up, not to mention filter out the noise & understand how they work.

Knowledge

Knowledge helps you find the alpha, filter out the noises, understand how a project works, and more essentially, it tells you when to buy/take profit/hodl. Unfortunately, this type of knowledge is rare and hard to find.

Before 2022, Crypto Twitter was mostly alpha-driven. Among 100 tweets, less than 1 is about true knowledge. Why? we came from a historical bull run, no matter how noisy an “alpha” is, you would have a > 50% chance of making a profit. Therefore, we tend to believe the alpha giver is “knowledgeable”. What he/she posts is the “knowledge”. Same for the influencers, why bother writing a long thread when they can get more positive engagements from posting “$XXX to the moon.”

What’s more, Twitter doesn’t like threads. They “disappear” in a day, and it’s a nightmare for you to find out what you have missed out in this space.

Challenges

To summarize,

  • Way too many “alpha” & projects are there in DeFi
  • “Alpha” is too noisy
  • Good DeFi and investment knowledge is hard to find
  • Twitter threads are gone quickly

Solution: DeFi Passively

We are building a home for DeFi with

  • Quality alpha
  • Unbiased research & review
  • Truly helpful knowledge

The easiest way to find the highest quality content in DeFi.

Step 1

As the first step in our roadmap. We are starting a Medium publication with the aim to build the highest quality knowledge base for DeFi & Passive Plays.

Twitter doesn’t favour threads, then let’s “rescue” them over to here. With the support of our quality influencers/researchers/writers, you will easily find their work on DeFi Passively.
