This is awesome. Thinking about doing the same, but how did you think through the risk here? There’s a reason you can get 9%, right? What does everyone else have wrong?

This makes sense. Thanks. Good point about the cascading liquidations in May being a legit stress test

Congrats! why not keep it in BTC and earn interest on that? That way you can capture any cap gains too? I’m at a similar $ amount but earn ~$36k/yr + cap gains.

USDC is not fully backed, only 60% of USDC reserves are in cash or cash equivalents per the latest monthly attestation report published by Centre. USDC is still much more legit and transparent than USDT but wanted to call that out

You need to carry average $100 USDC a month

I split my stablecoins half GUSD and half USDC. Think it helps reduce the counterparty risk a bit.

That's smart.

If this drops 20% your earnings might be slightly off.

My company just announced that they will stop matching for the 401K until 2021 (sigh).
