RE: If you can't explain the yield >> You are the yield.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Most users are yield actually. Suppose I spent $1000 on CUB at $1 price. I'd have 1000 CUB to deposit to some kingdom or den with very high APR. Let's say after a couple of months I got yield of 500 CUB printed from thin air. The CUB price at that time would drop to $0.5. Thus I would have 1500x0.5=750 USD. That's how I became the yield

There there is a terrible disconnect as to how you came to this conclusion.
You assume you lost money because someone else siphoned that money into their own pocket.
Who was this mystical entity?
They don't exist.
Try again.
If Bitcoin crashes 50% and you lose 50% of your money.
Are you the yield?
Obviously that doesn't even make sense, yet you used this exact same logic.
Worth noting that most people make this mistake.
It is the most common mistake made when trying to explain this concept.
Worth boosting to the top of this article.
Of course they do. They are the guys who own the lp/kingdom/den or whatever it's called
Bitcoin is slightly different because it's more decentralized and there is no yield, only "value". So if I lost money on Bitcoin I would be the value ;)
