Volatility as a Selling Point in DeFi
Humans are curious creatures.
People want to speculate.
We want to know what’s on the other side. Is it greener?
It is… for the first ones there, most of the time.
Trading is a zero-sum game. There will be losers; there will be winners.
People want to play, infinitely
When you win, you want to win again
When you lose, you want to win even more
If you truly want to win and keep winning - you have to play as the house.
Win or lose, the house wins.
The house hosts the games.
The house makes the games possible to play.
The same is true in DeFi, where the wildest games are played
To attract liquidity, you have to have the best games to play
More volatility = more excitement
More volatility = more fees
