Title: DeFi tokens - do they have a real value?
Post by: r32godzilla on August 17, 2020, 03:12:28 PM
Hi guys,

I would like to share with you my idea about all DeFi tokens. I am little bit confused what is the real value of all DeFi tokens. If I think about it, their are now valuable because there is a hype around all DeFi protocols, a lot of buyers, less sellers. But, one day people stop taking loans and the tokens become less interesting, that would mean that price of tokens will start falling down and people will be pushed to repay loans and that will cause that they start selling their tokens and this will lead into further crash. The worst thing is that there is no other motivation for buyers to buy these tokens and that could cause that you can loose all of your invested money, right?

That's why I rather see DeFi protocols that use native coins like Ethereum or Tron (Tron already has working solution) because these coins are not just good for one thing(DeFi), people will buy them for various reasons.

I hope you understand what I am talking about.  :D

You are right and most people are taking DeFi as a bubble too but i do support the concept because i think it will have more and more applications, use cases and products in the furure.
People should be careful about not throwing everything into defi, still diversification seems to be the right strategy.

I also have the same thought here.  But I think we need to look much deeper on the application of DeFi before jumping into conclusion.  What we saw is just the outer layer of the currently functioning DeFI system but I think there is more than just loans and selling tokens.  AS far as I know DeFi aims to be an alternative to the global finance system.  We can learn more about DeFi on this article titled: Decentralized Finance: An Emerging Alternative to the Global Financial System (https://www.visualcapitalist.com/decentralized-finance/)

Here is the quoted part of that article:

The Potential Impact of Decentralized Finance
Here are five ways that decentralized finance will have an impact on the world:

1. Wider Global Access to Financial Services

With decentralized finance, anyone with an internet connection and a smartphone could access financial services. There are a variety of barriers that prevent access in the current system:

Status: Lack of citizenship, documentation, credentials, etc.
Wealth: High entry-level funds required to access financial services
Location: Vast distance from functioning economies and financial service providers
In a decentralized financial system, a top trader at a financial firm would have the same level of access as a farmer in a remote region of India.

2. Affordable Cross-Border Payments

Decentralized finance removes costly intermediaries to make remittance services more affordable for the global population.

In the current system, it’s prohibitively expensive for people to send money across borders: the average global remittance fee is 7%. Through decentralized financial services, remittance fees could be below 3%.

3. Improved Privacy and Security

In decentralized finance, users have custody of their wealth and can transact securely without validation from a central party. Meanwhile, in the current system, custodial institutions put people’s wealth and information at risk if they fail to secure it.

4. Censorship-Resistant Transactions

In a decentralized financial system, transactions are immutable and blockchains can’t be shut off by central institutions like governments, central banks, or big corporations.

In places with poor governance and authoritarianism, users can divest to the decentralized financial system to protect their wealth. For example, Venezuelans are already adopting Bitcoin to protect their wealth from government manipulation and hyperinflation.

5. Simple Use

Plug and play apps will allow people to intuitively use decentralized financial services without the complexity of the centralized system.

With a decentralized system, a woman in the Philippines could receive a loan from the U.S., invest in a business in Colombia, and then pay off her debt and purchase a home – all through interoperable apps.

The Potential Blue Sky
Unless governments and central banks suddenly cease to exist, it’s difficult to imagine a world where decentralized finance completely replaces their centralized counterparts.

But what if they can co-exist?

Public blockchains can interact with the traditional financial system to create a new hybrid model:

Users could conduct economic activity on public blockchains and exchange their new wealth into the centralized system.
Users could hedge against systemic risk by diversifying their wealth holdings in both the central and decentralized system.
Like the internet with knowledge, decentralized finance could help democratize the financial system.

Same as before mate, people are just speculating about the real value of Defi tokens, and because the market is improving this time many investors are willing to gamble especially with those Defi projects, the hype is pretty much alive in Defi tokens today thats why its good to know that most of the cryptocurrencies are also experiencing price increase. overall its good for us but the question is how long it will sustain.

Post by: Mulann2 on August 17, 2020, 04:25:03 PM
for now I think it is more of speculation and hype is pumping the price, the actual value is yet to be determined because I don't think anyone have already start to use the platform, people are just interested in riding the market trend and make money while they can, I think there maybe few genuine defi project like Dia but it is still too early to know if people will request their service.

The article explains it all, people now maybe were just joining the hype without studying it since its a sure profit in a short time if they will be able to buy and sell now because some DeFi projects Sets record now or if they will sell before the hype ends, the question will be is for a long term investment and it's usefulness in the community. The article enumerates it advantages and importance but some people still fears it might be like in ICO before. There were only few projects from 2017 or before 2017 that is still active now some even do rebranding of their token or product to keep the business, will DeFi projects will still be active after Pandemic or 5 years from now?Their real value will only be known in the future.

in case that things happen they need to have backup plan to use their tokens to other ways not only for loans. I agree its better to have a platform that use popular crypto currency as collateral for loans or loan interest in that case investors will not be much worried about the money they invested in a project and use their tokens to other things or remove it since there is no way they can have the demand they need always.

Like YFI, it reminds me the days when Ethereum and DASH was trade above $1000. Crazy days I have ever seen. The value of YFI is even higher because back in those days, Ethereum was traded around 0.15 BTC/ ETH. Now YFI has been traded more than 0.6 BTC for each YFI. It was launched and skyrocketed to Moon. Is life easy as this? I will look at it next 3 to 6 months guys. Good luck to anyone who invest in and believe in tech revolution from YFI.

I will not comment on real value as of yet because majority of these defi projects have yet to prove themselves as sustainable business models but the thing that has been proven is that defi is the big new trend and it is already driving the bull market and seems like it is just the start and bulls will be massive this time.

Taking a load is always good. I don't think it will ever stop actually, margin trading had been around even before cryptocurrency trading it already is in the concept in forex market.

Fortunately for the holders, they will really shill for whichever defi project they hold.  Defi seems to be hyped so much but its really becoming a good project if you can just get into the project at the right price.

There is no motivation to buy Chainlink ?, there is no motivation to buy Compound and DIA ? don't categorize all DeFi projects as one, the difference is significant, you should be advising people to invest in DeFi projects that are more than the hypes, do research on these projects I mentioned and see how useful their utilities are and judge later

You just outlined only the surfaces of Defi projects/tokens loans won't be stopped as far as people need money for different reasons and it is a matter of urgency when you don't have the needed money at hand; you will definitely opt for the available money( lender who is ready to loan you).

@Phoenix_PROG, Just highlighted some of the great Defi projects out there, it isn't just about the hype some of these Defi tokens have a significant contribution to make to their various long-term investors.

Most of the value that all these defi tokens are getting is due to massive hype and fomo in the market because most people are panic buying in huge amounts because they do not want to miss out on massive gains but all this situation can be risky and prices may go down when the demand slows down.

I want to see it a bit different from you. For example Govt always need money. Govt sales their bond every month to raise money to fund projects. So Defi will always be there people will always look for money to run their project.

I have seen people already making life changing profits that too in short span of time via defi tokens, all they did was jumped in as early as possible, prime example is paraswap who sold their tokens called swap for upto 1 cent and now you can check the price there are other fascinating examples as well but i have personally seen swap very closely and was about to enter at 5 cents but missed out.
Only time will tell if this value was real or just out of the blues.

Stop complaining, get in the game and make some nice ROI in a very short time before it's over, where I'm more confused is why you wearing OIKOS project signature and yet you talking against DeFi projects in general, few DeFi projects have very good use case


Title: Re: DeFi tokens - do they have a real value?
Post by: Claudio99 on August 17, 2020, 07:30:01 PM
OP you need to DYOR on these DeFi projects, ICO ruined many investors trust after 2017 bullrun and don't expect DeFi to get investors this crazy if DeFi is nothing but another unless Hype, as a matter of fact DeFi is much more, take time and do some research on the top rated DeFi projects like COMP, Synthetix, DIA, Oikos, Chainlink and try to see their use cases

No, but people who do just recently able to join up this crypto space will definitely say that line on where they do believe that making money would really be easy specially if they have seen that
price had skyrocket 7x in a short span of time which is the thing that do happen with YFI. Not to be bitter but this is just being hyped and for those who do able to purchase or enter when its price
is still 1k then its better to sell it out on the current price because that would already be the sweetest spot to do so.If price increase or hype is already over then expect that
the correction or dump would really be much more worst.

I have no doubt that the technology behind decentralized financial products is innovative and will play a wider role in ensuring that mass adoption gets to the crypto space. But the way people are going crazy about it makes me remember the good old ICOs days when we thought the ICO boom and good time will continue forever. Right now, not all DeFi projects are worth their current valuation and a couple of them would fail, take YAM for example. The project valuation went from $60M to literally zero and people who fomo in lost a great deal.

What's my thoughts on this?
- Despite the fact that DeFi all the rage these days, it doesn't mean we should skip doing our research or allowing our greed to be in control.

- DeFi products are actually the next big thing in crypto.

- like ICOs, not all DeFi projects will succeed.

I'm kind surprised that this is coming from a hero member on btt, research should be very important to high ranking members like yourself, why throwing around this doubtful thoughts about DeFi projects when you can just do some research? I'm confused

Being a high ranked member doesn't mean he knows everything. He just asked a question on a subject matter he couldn't wrap his head about.

DeFi is the current trend and hype in crypto, therefore i think that a lot of Defi projects are overpriced at the moment compared to what they offer.
Some of them are straight up money grabs that juts put Defi in their name to benefit from the latest hype.
And then there are Defi projects that have a great team and a real use-case and could be very succesful in the longterm.

I would like to share with you my idea about all DeFi tokens. I am little bit confused what is the real value of all DeFi tokens.
The value is determined by the open market and there are certain projects that are attracting investors and hence the price is going higher and once they dump the coin it will go down. Majority of the investors are familiar with the trends and they understand when to dump the coins.

one day people stop taking loans and the tokens become less interesting, that would mean that price of tokens will start falling down and people will be pushed to repay loans and that will cause that they start selling their tokens and this will lead into further crash. The worst thing is that there is no other motivation for buyers to buy these tokens and that could cause that you can loose all of your invested money, right?
Are you talking about people stop taking loans from specific projects or as a whole, the market will be competitive and as long as they are providing a competitive loan people will use them, i am yet to venture this space completely.

Post by: Japinat on August 17, 2020, 09:41:09 PM
Everything in the crypto space have some value, but it's a matter of competition and some of them are bound to failed.
It's just that there's a hype in DeFi projects now, but it doesn't mean all of them are a good investment, just like an altcoins, some of them are shitcoins, so still research is important, don't go with the hype right away, look at the long term potential of the project or if you would like to play the short term movement, at least do have some trading skills to benefit from the hype.

The only legit defi token that has already got so many attention from the investors. The investors will be seeing what will be the role of the token in the defi. The hype will no see whether the token has a very important role in the platform or not.

Many developers are riding with this hypes and the attentions of investors are with this projects, better to make sure to review
the usage and the offers of the project developers before jumping to this investment.
Lots of people will lose their money if they will not investigate the projects that they are supporting not because its been build to
DeFi system means that it will be fully developed.

I Also agree to your understanding that DeFi is too hyped at this moments, but I think people who invest to these kinds of projects is aware of things that is happening in DeFi otherwise their investments would be much riskier as they hold on to this kind of project that they would not have knowledge about. I also think that DeFi projects will end on a good note, because the community is not just hyped but they're really active about the developments and about the future plans about DeFi.

Not only that, but others also exploit the hype on DeFi maliciously.  I think it is happening again.  As the ICO become popular, lots of scam projects were launched using its method.  Now that DeFi is in its massive hype, I am sure scammers will start creating a scam project and use  DeFi hype to lure victims into their trap.  So we better be vigilant and always DYOR when tackling or investing in newly launched DeFi projects.

for sure there are a lot of worthless tokens, but there are a handful of useful ones that deserve attention, investments and the growth that recently happened.
I see this defi madness as an opportunity for worthy projects to rise and shine, and as it was in 2017 most of the others will fall over time

DeFi won't be this big if they have nothing to offer crypto space and crypto users, the reason why everyone is judging DeFi projects is because they never take their time to do their own research first, those popular DeFi projects are actually good

Actually you are right. There are lots of projects seen on twitter that launching an ICO for short term then will set liquidity on uniswap. Afterwards they will gone like a wind. Ive losses on some short term shitcoin Ive risk to invest with. I think its time to find a real valuable defi project and avoid shitcoins.

The fall will be very painful, like an avalanche because of the fact that you will need to sell quickly to minimize losses. But now I can still make money on defi, so I will do it.

It doesn't matter which platform a DeFi project is running on, either Tron network or Ethereum smart contract I care less, what I'm after is the real use case of the projects, some DeFi projects have nothing to offer than lies and the DeFi hype

Hi guys,

I would like to share with you my idea about all DeFi tokens. I am little bit confused what is the real value of all DeFi tokens. If I think about it, their are now valuable because there is a hype around all DeFi protocols, a lot of buyers, less sellers. But, one day people stop taking loans and the tokens become less interesting, that would mean that price of tokens will start falling down and people will be pushed to repay loans and that will cause that they start selling their tokens and this will lead into further crash. The worst thing is that there is no other motivation for buyers to buy these tokens and that could cause that you can loose all of your invested money, right?

That's why I rather see DeFi protocols that use native coins like Ethereum or Tron (Tron already has working solution) because these coins are not just good for one thing(DeFi), people will buy them for various reasons.

I hope you understand what I am talking about.  :D
People just care about taking loans only at the moment but which itself needs the collateral, they can sell them to make the money they wanted but still they are exploiting the defi tokens to make profits.Its just a short term so one who act first can make millions and rest will be nothing left.

As is always the case, when people start interested in something new there is a lot of excitement and talk about this thing, as is happening now with the decentralized financing projects DeFi and its tokens, so I think people will calm down and stop this rush and then we see what tokens with good projects That could stay.
I think there is a lot of it will end and people will forget and only a few DeFi tokens that have a real value will remain but we need some time and wait to see results.

You are right and most people are taking DeFi as a bubble too but i do support the concept because i think it will have more and more applications, use cases and products in the furure.
People should be careful about not throwing everything into defi, still diversification seems to be the right strategy.

Now with DeFi, what we saw in 2017 with the ICO is happening. Many people don't know what this is, but they see a 100% price increase in 1-2 days, and they also start buying these tokens at a higher price, thereby maintaining the hype. We have also seen how it will end, but now there is a great opportunity to earn money on DeFi.

yeah, one should know that most of these projects will not see the end of the year successfully, there is just too many projects, even if all of them are with good management and realistic road-map, and that is also not a fact, since most share same idea that is not their own
nevertheless, one could earn some money in the process, but could lose everything as well

I think their value is in the limited supply which they are offering and the the staking rewards which they are giving using the preminted locked coins. The model is definitely having nsome flaws.

Good projects will grow, new projects will enter the market. Unsuccessful projects will disappear from the market.
This is a very huge pie and every market participant will want to take a bite of the pie.
Currently, the Ethereum network cannot provide high transaction speed, but after the launch of ETH 2.0 phase 2, the rally will begin.
What is happening now is a small prelude to the main performance.

Projects come and go every day, every year. Only projects that are strong enough to survive after 4 years in the market, and enjoy many cycles and situations in the market during 4 years at least can be called as lively projects. It does not mean they are successful projects but they are among projects that can survive in next 4 years.

From coinmarketcap.com I see many projects that die gradually after first one or 2 years and did not wake up after that. Their developers (scam or incapable) choose to do easier thing, launch a new project, join the hype and get easy money rather than spend huge efforts to keep their old projects alive and upgrade it technically.

I see some methods: swap (from outdated algorithm to new one), swap from failed protocol to new one, etc.

Although most project are taking advantage of the hype to decieve Investors into patronizing their projects still there are great ones out there that would be big in future.

I agree. As we see DeFi projects are prospering right now because people, who are following the trend in the market, are hyping this up. Maybe this is their way of coping up in the crypto world. They see prices going up, without hesitation even with no proper research, they would dive in. In time, we'll see what would be the end of it all or if what will end of it.

What is "real" value and what isn't?

As Morpheus said "If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

Deflationary crypto had "real" value too.  If a crypto is perceived to have real value - then it does.

Defi does not seem to be trending because of its use case, it's trending because of the increasing value. I'm certain that a majority of persons in this space are solely interested in the financial benefits to be derived from a project and when they can foresee one, they jump right into it, irrespective of the use case and risk involved.

Yeahh, and now there is DEFI everywhere, I think it's all about hype, the DEFI projects are booming and the prices are going 2x-50x! I am investing on some projects which have a promising output and have an awesome roadmap but what I don't understand in DEFI is that those projects that have anonymous team are the one who are really doing great. DEFI is weird man haha. Lot of scams and lot of jackpot, it's just so unpredictable.

There's very few that actually have a purpose and functionality around DeFi. Most of them are all about farming and gaining interest. Honestly nothing different that the masternode hype we saw from 2017. Just under somewhat more complex economical principles but essentially they have the same speculative nature promising high unsustainable returns. I would pass hoping in the DeFi hype unless you're planning to day trade it for profit and never look back.

yes, i think DEFI tokens has real values because banks developed means of providing funds to their customers tru loans and also place charges on incentives on these loans. such can be seen in DEFI. the degital crypto lending services using various tokens. the best option of the Defi projects is that you benefits both ways. you earn by lending and also earn by borrowing. but you can not earn when you borrow from traditional banks.

ICO, IEO and DEFI are having interesting concept consider these are giving the automation for the decentralized finance.
How can you say defi is very transparent compared with IEO or ICO? i have ever seen ICO and IEO published the financial report while there's no defi that was doing this thing in the past.
DEFI less transparent compared with IEO and ICO.

That is nice observation. For ICO or IEO projects, a lot of projects are disclosing how much they raised.
But with DeFi, I haven't really seen one disclosing how much they got.
Maybe, they thought it is decentralized, they can always look at their contract.
But are they sending their assets to that address or maybe a different one.
And with regards to their real value, I don't think they have.
Most of them are just pure talk, no working platform. Just manipulation in the market.

I agree with you because the DeFi project is currently very impressive in the acceleration of their altcoin increase, of course if we discuss the problem of the token value itself it is very natural because so many people like DeFi-based project policies.

Decentralized financial model is a new trend of the world.  Regarding DeFi tokens, I think its problem is people's trust.
As you have said, Defi is just a system, whereas to determine the worth or not of an investment, it all depends on the product. so as long as the defi project has a clear product and real use case, then it's still good

Are other non-DEFI cryptocurrencies of value? To begin with, it's worth understanding what value is. The value is determined by the purchasing power. The more goods and services I can get in exchange for something, the higher the value of this object. People invest money in various DeFi projects, which allows them to have a certain value due to the fact that the coins of these projects can be exchanged for something useful, in our case, other currencies or, in other words, money.

Do you mean you are going to create deFI tokens but all use ethereum or tron? if that is true you mean what are you doing if you don't create your own token. isn't deFI's goal is to create a token of its own value and strive to be the token with the best and most expensive price?

It is easier for their developers to create a project on available networks like Ethereum. I know some projects have crowdsale for long ago (2017 or 2018) but main net only was activated in 2020. They tried to launch mainnet to enjoy the bull market but their works are terrible and you can not wait for good developments from them.

The DeFi space has Uniswap, then many other join the space and try to mimic the Uniswap. Those tokens have different names but their usecases are the same and source codes are copy and paste. They can say "Our team change the copied source code a little to make it as our code. It is not a plagiarism code". Do you see how funny it is

to promise that they are decentralized but turns out not really arent new here in crypto , its like same as other crypto like tether and ripple  that also claims to be a decentralized crypto but asociated with the banks but defi is much worster because they carry the name decentralized on them but no need to worry for those fake defis , just stick on real defis and youl be alright .

Actually I would say, DeFi started with a big hype then gradually the hype is over and much is not heard about them or better put, much is not heard about a good number of them again, but however those that were already on the right track are still trying their best to retain their users and growth, hence why they are occupying good ranks on coinmarketcap. In my own opinion, when a project have something to offer, the only way to keep getting the attention of users and more potential investors is through improving on what they offers, that is to say, any DeFi projects which finds it hard to improve as times goes by will be forced out of business, while those that tries their best to improve will keep growing while advancing on what they offers as time goes on.

In 2016, when Bitcoin was around $ 300 and Ethereum was $ 8, there were skeptics who doubted the prospects of these cryptocurrencies that they could achieve the results that they have today. Based on this, I believe that those projects that have great potential and demand in society have every chance of reaching great heights. And today there is always a lot of excitement around DeFi projects.

I believe that all DeFi tokens cannot have value, but probably some of them have value, since their price is primarily provided by other cryptocurrencies. How long can this last? I believe it all depends on the trend in the crypto and DeFi markets. You know that while there is nothing new and better on the market, current trends prevail. It all depends on demand, there is demand for the asset is growing, there is no demand for the price of the asset is going down.
