Midas News: Bear Market, Midas' future, Your investments

Show Video

hello and welcome to midas investments youtube  channel this is the channel for those who seek   financial independence through long-term  investments in cryptocurrencies my name is   anya i'm midas investment community manager and  today we have our ceo trevor with us hi trevor   how are you doing hi anya uh hi uh all the  viewers uh thank you for recording this video   uh i i was waiting for quite some time for it yeah  how are you doing yeah i'm doing great and i'm   super excited for this video today because this  is the video about all of the things that had   happened in the crypto market how it affected  midas and what are our general plans for future   so it's kind of like a sum up of everything  that happened because recent weeks in crypto   were pretty tough for everyone and a lot of  crypto newbies who are just coming into the   into the industry and into the investing in  cryptocurrencies they're like super um you   know they're encountering some unexpected things  going on okay so one of the most major things that   happened during this period is actually luna used  t crash what are your thoughts on that it's it's   definitely one of the most painful events for the  whole crypto market uh definitely the most painful   in my whole crypto career and i really feel that  this will uh this will remain like a huge scar   on everyone who jumped into crypto during uh  during the previous cycle we could call already   the previous uh previous cycle and uh no one uh  expected this but basically the main reason why   why it happened uh in the first place is strictly  the design of the luna musd protocols so basically   when you have two heavily correlated assets uh  which basically uh where one of which is supposed   to be stable uh but backed with the another uh  volatile altcoin asset it can create a really huge   correlation between those two assets and this is  why we saw such an intense luna burning and such   an intense lunar market cap growth as as the coin  and uh obviously uh considering all the retail   crypto investors and even professional investors  uh we all have similar cognitive biases within our   brain and one of the strongest ones that affect  us in crypto is tendency thinking which basically   creates the illusion of how things went in  the past they will uh continue in time forever   and this is why we have all this um panic states  uh and we have all those euphoria states because   our brain thinks like hey in the bitcoin grew like  in the recent six months uh like this amount and   uh it will continue forever but basically uh with  the huge market cap off luna huge uh amount of   deposits in anchor protocol uh provided by fixed  rates created the uh false illusion that this   mechanism will work and will be sustainable even  after any certain attacks on the protocol and we   saw how some of our investment team really thought  that uh luna will not survive the first deepak   which it got like one year ago but they managed  to recover pretty pretty decently and then after   this they purchased btc in their portfolio  and so on and yeah it did not save them and   uh there are some rumors on the coordinated  attack and so on but the the main reason is   not the uh coordinated attack uh is not like the  bad intentions of the market it's like um when   the reality does not fit the actual when the model  and the reality are separated like we got with the   anchor these things collapse and the reality  tries to flood all the [ __ ] away on the lies   all the lies from the protocol yeah yeah okay  thank you very much for sharing your thoughts   on that and um well as you've said uh this thing  has left scar a lot of scars in investors hearts   so basically we have a lot of new investors coming  to midas investments and they already experienced   this luna crash and they're obviously very you  know uh worried about their investments now   and you know like they see that uh up to the  recent point we had um 20 on stables as well   as well as anchor head also 20 so the yields are  kind of the same so people are always asking what   is the difference and how can i be sure that uh  the same thing is not going to happen to midas   yeah so uh basically uh when we look on the  anchor so uh the the first on thinking on on the   systems itself any fixed system where where you  cannot change parameters where parameters are not   adapted to reality fast enough or has some lags  in it or has some it brings uh what i call lies   in in reality so basically the fixed rate of  of anchor protocol was really far away from the   reality uh but it created the intense uh amount of  hype intense amount of euphoria intense amount of   tendency thinking uh and the false proof of this  protocol uh in this case the uh fixed rate was   something like a marketing mechanism and uh when  there was a possibility to create the death spiral   the market as the larger uh substance of a  lot of really amazing high iq players with   algorithmic strats and and so on uh they saw this  opportunity uh where you can break the system and   uh for those who who love taleb you have fragile  systems and anti-fragile systems so in terms of   fragile systems they are easily broken and they  need to be fixed and they and uh when you have the   mechanisms where where you have like um something  that is not adaptive it just breaks uh and and   this is why all the fixed rates that are  not adapted can be broken like like the car   or like the like basically any any fixed stuff uh  the way we do things in midas we treat ourselves   as the anti-fragile system and this is why we  we have been here for four years and uh on the   outside you see us reducing rates but on the  inside we are adapting our portfolio like   during the last month we i think we changed our  portfolio three times and this is this was really   really intense uh because we had to reevaluate  the market uh a few times uh already and we   just recreate the new strategies see how things  are changing see what the reality present   now what risks unfolds and what risks uh stop  being in place like for for example with the huge   deliverage huge amount of liquidations on the uh  on the market you see a lot of new opportunities   coming so this is like the how forest is getting  burned but uh on all of the ashes the new forest   appears so this is and i i really think that this  is like the really uh great metaphor for all the   markets uh because uh basically the markets  are driven by the uh expectations and then   uh euphoria and this euphoria means that it is  really really not tied up to reality uh one of   the main criterias for this is the combination of  liquidity and market cap of the coin for example   uh and we currently see that for many uh even  layer one altcoins and blockchains there are   not enough liquidity to support all the market  cap like all the value of of the of the coins   and this is the things we we try to look in our  investment strategies so basically what we do in   midas we adapt to the current market uh during  the last six months we did a tremendous job on   uh creating our own infrastructure getting new  amazing members to the team and uh yeah basically   adapting to any conditions of the market to  be sure that we are uh that we can fulfill the   the the promises that we give and obligations  that we have before investors but in some ways   and this is what happened like a week ago when  we had to reduce the rates we had to reduce the   rates because uh otherwise it would imply the the  lies for for midas which basically increases the   uh the chance of our mechanism like going in  some bad state which we do not want to happen   our main goal for right now is like uh build  build new amazing things during this uh   really flat market state that we might  see for the next few few months yeah so   you basically already covered my next question i  had about how high this is doing after the crash   uh but thank you much for elaborating that  and uh actually you know like since we're   like some people say that we're entering the bear  market and um you're saying that we're trying to   build an unbreakable system that's going to  survive in all of the circumstances also it's   not it's not it's not unbreakable uh anker tried  to build unbreakable system and and this like uh   any uh system that that is positioned itself as  an unbreakable uh will will get broken like uh   combination yeah it's it's just uh just a  clarification communism thought that they are   unbreakable yeah it's just uh it's it's adaptive  you know it's it's life and uh you need you need   to suffer a little bit but learn from your  mistakes get new experience and become better   yeah it's a part of the journey okay so that  was the wrong word choice but um might as well   become an adaptive system that's gonna help every  single thing that might happen um okay so actually   um and this like this is where as some say we're  entering the bear markets like what are the main   sources of yields um in the current uh market  phase i i was i was in the crypto conference uh   basically yeah yesterday and one of the speakers  called uh with a really vast experience in crypto   market uh he said that this is not the beer  market it's steady beer market yet so like yeah i like expeditions yeah so uh  there could be another really uh   really harsh things uh to to happen uh but yeah  yeah just just to not keep everyone in in such   a positive life uh but still you know what are  the main sources of filth in this marketplace   like uh six months ago uh there was a huge markets  opportunity on uh some sorts of talk and farming   and there were some amazing trends and uh amazing  narratives in the in the d5 market like uh certain   protocols certain uh certain possibilities and  so on so the token farming was one of the best   thing you could you could do in order uh  with a really uh site to risk profile and   uh hatch portfolio and so on and this is  why you see uh a lot of different coins on   our on our platform because they were part of  those narratives back then uh then obviously   we saw the decline in this phase and uh with this  we changed our portfolio to where it's uh towards   stablecoin uh farming it's it's not uh we do not  have a portfolio like usd and so on because it   didn't pass our due diligence but we got a lot  of algorithmic stable coins over collateralized   stable coins and there were a lot of opportunities  where the creators of those stable coins created   such mechanisms that allowed you to produce uh  a sustainable amount of field during these times   then obviously uh luna came and uh it create  a shock wave on all of these stable coins and   algorithmic stable coins and even uh even usdt and  this is why we made the decision on deleveraging   all the usdt from our portfolio uh temporarily uh  probably and we are thinking about getting it back   it opens up a few strategies for us for sure uh  but yeah and all the algorithmic stable coin got   really uh huge volatility and so on so we exited  it uh prior once the lunar thing started to unfold   we exited all our algorithmic position so uh and  and the recent two weeks we search for new uh for   new opportunities in order to produce yield and  and so on so uh my current view on on the yields   in in d5 is that uh the token farming is that  and will be that until the new protocols emerge   you know the burned forest and we really need to  wait uh for some some new protocol superior that   solve the current problems of the uh of the crypto  market and uh we're already contacting with a few   uh d5 protocols that are in the building phase uh  that aims to fix the uh the problem for example   of landing market so the the things we saw a lot  of hacks on the rari pools and and and this type   of stuff uh recently uh those guys uh sea lord  protocol s-i-l-o uh which are really in the huge   deep building phase they're really amazing guys  and we are waiting for uh this project to unfold   and they're creating isolated isolated lending  markets basically what unicef did for uh liquidity   providing and market making and uh we'll see  how it will fit our strategies and and so on so   uh we're waiting for the new d5 protocols in order  for uh new governance phase starting to unfold   uh another thing that we are currently heavily  looking is driving and uh basically there is   a mechanism where you as the d5 protocol can  purchase liquidity uh through the governance   tokens and you have two ways you can purchase  uh governance tokens uh directly like convex and   both for yourself in order to deploy liquidity  this is what we plan to do in terms of midas   coin uh really really soon and uh another way you  can do this you can bribe other holders of those   governance tokens in order for you to um get the  liquidity you want but without spending too much   funds and the main like uh the the main users of  this uh things were were luna actually uh forex   finance and uh another another major guys where  liquid c is really really important so this is   uh so you by holding this governance tokens yeah  you can basically earn yields but not in the uh   token farming and by token farming i mean uh you  deposit liquidity and you receive insensitives   by the protocol for it this thing really not  sustainable in this market situation so uh   generally speaking uh we are looking for all the  ways we can produce yields not from token farming   and uh in the current state it's uh  it creates new possibilities with   such things as options for example you have a few  major d5 protocols that allows you to have a fully   covered option calls in in the certain ranges and  we have our own uh strategies built on there a bit   and other basically only there a bit and uh what  else uh another things this beside options is the   uh uni swap three liquidity providing we developed  the uh uni slot three uh liquid supervising tool   uh back in the autumn actually but we uh after  testing it we we saw that impermanent losses were   too high for those market volatility now when  we got a really huge intense volatility and the   market will decay a little bit and and will have  some flat lines i really feel that uni swap three   algorithms could be really really amazing and  uh yeah so uh also we are partnering up with   uh with some uh investment team that developed  the algorithmic tool for liquidity providing on   unit swap two so basically like they are searching  for all the uh market pairs for uni swap two and   create the strategy of allocating liquidity to  to this stuff so we we are heading towards a lot   of a lot of directions and uh i really feel that  the only way to uh to produce yield is uh simply   creating something on top of d5 protocols and  this this leads us to the vision of of cd5 where   where you have the basic blocks and in d5 you  already have all the basic blocks you have   options you have lending you have lending  gives you the leverage possibility and   shorting possibility uh as isolated lazing  pockets uh also give you the shorting   possibilities you have the liquidity providing  which which can generate fees uh and there are   also some instruments to hatch impermanent laws  so it's it it becomes like like the science   uh before that you could simply pick uh make a  due diligence and pick the protocols that you feel   uh would work uh during this narrative but now  you need to create the strategies ourselves   and then this is what we do yeah i think uh i  i got much much broader view from this question next two questions i had but it's amazing uh get  bring them bring them to you yeah there is still   one part that you didn't answer so um basically  could you please um tell us a little bit more   about what's going on in uh the investment  team in general do you have any like changes   like what is actually going on there sure uh  so uh the first thing that that we how was the   team doing uh obviously we're really really uh  engaged in in all this activity we have a lot   of a lot of changes that we need to implement a  lot of uh a lot of other stuff that that that we   do yeah but but they are really motivated and uh  what and another great two things that motivate   us the first thing is that we finally get our  infrastructure uh ready we have our portfolio   tracker we have our all uh algorithmic stuff going  on uh we have a great layer of uh asset management   within the uh within the positions uh algorithmic  uh landings and and and so on so it's like   it things became much easier to operate and manage  and this opens up a lot more resources for us to   think and to create these strategies and to to  think what we can bring uh what we can bring to   to the market additionally and then list on  our platform maybe and uh show it to our uh   investors and this is basically one of the main  focuses of investment team currently is creating   uh something new in order to show uh to midas or  establish into uh into some investment product or   even establishing the d5 protocol uh that we will  tie it side up to to midas it's totally possible   so uh another thing that motivates us a lot are  the new members of the investment team uh we have   the great new dfi analyst uh that helped us to  recreate the portfolio and and so on we just got   the new consultant for our investment team and i  hope to join our team in the future uh but now she   is like on the eighth month of pregnancy or even  on the ninth month of spring yeah yeah and she uh   she has like 15 years in uh trade fly like  traditional finances and she was the asset manager   uh within the the bank and uh yeah and uh  meanwhile she was building the uh the d5 protocol   uh on solana and created d5 strategies and so on  and uh overall she operated like two two billion   dollars of uh assets under her and the team so  we we really feel that uh she can become a really   valuable person for us to realize the to make  uh cd5 vision happen and so on and uh obviously   uh another another guy and i i really think  that we should announce him uh later on in the   in the community is our the new sea level that we  got on board uh a huge uh executive with a really   tremendous experience in building enterprise  solutions and he he really got the got the   things going uh and invite us and um yeah so we  are really pumped up and motivated and uh finally   establishing the cd5 vision and we see how we are  really really close to solving the uh the task of   transparent wealth management built on top of d5  but accessible for the retail user uh which is   which was not really uh seen before and we are  testing all the hypotheses and you will see the   results pretty pretty soon wow that sounds  super exciting actually and very inspiring   so i just can't wait to see all of the results  and i'm pretty sure um it's gonna be awesome   um okay so you also have partly covered the next  question that they had but uh if we can just uh go   all over uh the instrument the investment products  that you're developing right now uh as the part of   the cdfi like concept sure sure okay where do  i start uh so uh first of all uh i really feel   that uh that in order to to create something  valuable on top of d5 you need to uh create   the combinations uh in in d5 create algorithmic  combinations on top of d5 and uh boosted up with   the uh other possibilities that c5 is giving  to you for example like basically derivative   exchanges and options and all this amazing stuff  this is the field of our hypothesis right now and   and uh basically what products um we already uh  got a lot of amazing products that we got uh first   of all we have the major uh trend algorithmic bot  that basically trades once per per three months   uh showing which trend happens and basically it  sold for ethereum it it showed uh that ethereum   is doomed at uh 3800 which basically it's it gives  us some certainty on how they manage strategies   within the d5 because basically it gives us the  certainty uh in which and opens up the possibility   to establish for example liquidity pools where  the impermanent loss is basically creating more   yield for the certain asset so basically like uh  if if you open okay i will not dive into this uh   really really hot but uh okay what what else uh we  we are heavily developing the trenches system and   and the trenches is like uh the way to separate  risk for the really risky and juicy investment   product so basically you you can you can see that  liquidity pools uh for for example for some token   farming can produce like 100 percent uh apr  uh on on their strategies but they also have   some risks building it and what trenches allow  to do is to separate the risk in order for   some part to receive fixed rates and on the other  side uh another investor receiving all those juicy   uh apr and uh willing to uh willing to have this  major upside while on the other hand the guy   uh just receives his stable yield uh with a  really backed up profits and uh really really   transparent one this is the way to separate  risks basically uh we're also creating the   driving strategy where you accumulate context uh  and uh uh and curve tokens in order to establish   the mechanism of producing yield from from the  driving currently it gives like 35 percent apr   on on this strategy and if we apply trenches to it  if we apply smart contracts in it it can create a   really uh deep and amazing complex uh system where  where basically you have multi layers of receiving   yield like you're receiving yield from the bribes  from the liquidity pools from the trenches and   and so on uh another uh products that we are  heavily looking at is basically the light in   the field of developing or forking even uh some  d5 products and investment products i really feel   that we have the amazing opportunity to create  the first d5 investment products that could go   retail uh what that means is like there is the  possibility uh to hold a token which basically   is the algorithm on liquidity pools to leverage to  have two leverage on ethereum for example so the   price of the token moves twice as fast as as the  price of the ethereum uh but the the main problem   with it is that it does not have any liquidity so  we can create this token and become the liquidity   for this token and just cover this issue for usage  of this investment instrument and give our users   this investment instrument uh prior the uh the  bullish market which which can be really really   efficient in terms of reducing wealth and having  upsides and and so on then uh when you have such   tokens that allows you to uh basically  go long or go short on ethereum or btc   or whatever on my desk platform you can  create various portfolios of various   uh various amazing stuff that can combine  your own perspective of the market and   obviously we will not forget about uh all our  algorithmic and trending stuff that that we do   on the sideways our our c5 way uh which  basically uh allows you to uh earn money   on the flat market earn money on the volatile  market and so on so basically what what else   what else i really feel that uh i can go in much  more details but uh i i would i would like not it's okay so basically we're gonna give our  investors a lot of different opportunities to earn   on a lot of different markets and like the stages  yeah uh we will see how it will go uh i definitely   we are currently uh evaluating uh our investment  products that we did not use our ourselves because   uh it was too risky to hold in our portfolio  when we produced a stable fixed yield we need   to make sure that we do not have the exposure  to some do some huge risky stuff uh but but   this also cuts uh cuts up the the upside so the  thing that we plan to do in in june is to list at   on the platform at least one investment instrument  and see how it will go uh it will not have fixed   yield it will be flexible uh apy and most likely  it will have volatile price obviously which will   be calculated based on the how the investment  strategy is performing and we will see how it   will go for from this point if if the community  would love this uh at least as the hypothesis   uh we can start developing and start listing  more and more for investors to create their own   uh like portfolios that suit their risk that suit  their uh investments demand and give much more   opportunities on basically everything yeah well  that sounds really cool um i will be waiting for   this first product to be implemented thank  you very much for sharing these details so um   you know um during the bear market when everything  goes down we have actually a really nice sweetener   to all of the sorrow that our investors at  least have uh is that actually midas talking   has hit a all-time high which is pretty exciting  and um actually could you please tell us a little   bit more about what are the goals for midas token  and for the company in general for this year   yeah i congratulate everyone who who managed  to hold by the stocking and purchased all the   deep uh this this strategy strategy worked out and  the main reason for midas to actually uh have the   possibility to go non-correlated with the market  it is always pushed by the cash flow of of the   company itself of our investment tools and from  the profits that which is called payout split uh   it means that we dedicate 10 percent of what we  paid to you to to the growth of the miter stock   and so it creates a really nice uh upward pressure  on on the midas token uh which makes it really   not not so correlated asset with with the market  especially in the bearish market and uh what   we really want to do in the next few phases of  the midas by this token is uh currently we are   on on the phantom blockchain and uh obviously  we really want to partner with all the d5   protocols on phantom chain we currently have to  be in the pipeline we will see how how it will go   uh we already established the the contact with  them and uh yeah we will see uh how it will go   and and the next phase uh really important phase  for for me in in terms of midas talking is for   midas talking to go on ethereum blockchain uh and  the main reason for this is that there are such   a lot of great amazing partnership opportunities  for midas token to be on the ethereum blockchain   it allows us to become the cd5 platform which  basically gives you uh gives us the possibility to   vote for ourselves allows us to create investment  products that will benefit midas token so like uh   all the convex that we have uh in in deposits and  all this uh and all the bright investment products   and so on there is a possibility for us to vote  for for ourselves and simply boost the liquidity   for midas tokens like up to 10 15 million like no  no no problem and it will be the liquidity that   is not incentivized by my this token not uh not  locked in from investors but actually uh something   more more reliable and yeah something much more  cooler and i'm i'm really really excited uh about   this and uh obviously the long term for midas  token is to create some sort of the protocols   with the investment products built in it uh where  the streaming fee from this investment product   will be uh dedicated or separated with midas token  or like midas treasury we will see how it will go   so uh i really want midas talking to become the uh  the fuel and all the blood of all the things that   were built in in d5 and c5 it already is on c5 so  i'm really really bullish on on the future of the   midas talking especially since it has really we we  are really really considerable about our emission   and about our inflation of the talk and then uh  our token is like it makes it much more valuable   than uh than most other d5 tokens and uh regarding  the goals of of the company i was uh already   telling much more about our plans during this  during this video and i would feel amazing if   we will be able to achieve at least half of  these plans and uh which are like listing a few   investment products uh finally having our redesign  ready and uh we we already have the new uh the new   logo but we we just need to pick the the right  time to uh to finally uh transition to it uh with   within you do we already have the new logo well  uh the the form is is complete yeah so like uh we yeah so the the the new midas is coming and uh  basically creating the vision of the of the cd5   platform creating the robust policies for uh  for investment uh strategies and create all   the things that allow us to still produce  wealth in much more efficient way in like   multi multi-layer system where we manage  the funds in a really really efficient way   to our own investment product through our own  infrastructure so like uh becoming the giant so   i i i do not have a specific uh you know like  uh vision but i i i just feel it uh i have the   intuition that we are going in the right way  and uh yeah and we will see i'm really eager to   to know what what the reality will unfold to us in  the upcoming months awesome uh that sounds really   awesome thank you very much for sharing this info  with us and thank you very much for coming for   today's call for coming for today's video uh it  was really nice talking to you guys if you still   have some questions left about anything that you  might you know wonder about midas investments and   its future you can always leave them down below  in the comments or you can come to our community   and ask your questions there so we have a separate  channel for asking trevor questions you can go   there and whatever question you have um we'll try  to answer it in the best way possible okay thank   you very much for watching this video trevor thank  you very much for sharing this information um i   wish you a nice day you too you too anya thank  you so much thank you very much okay bye bye guys
