By now it seems the entire Cryptosphere is well of aware of the UNI announcement. It's a strong move for DeFi as a whole but an airdrop I unfortunately missed out on.
Checking to be certain when I heard the news, it appears that the snapshot was taken (secretly) back on Sept 1st. Accounts that made at least a single trade ( even failed ones) received 400 UNI each.
I just read on Twitter that UNI is already trading and was valued around $2 at that time. 800 bucks for a failed trade? Crypto really is a crazy space sometimes. In both good ways and bad. Sushi goes bad fast!
On The Cusp Of wLEO Liquidity
It'll be interesting to see how the launch of the new UNI governance token on Uniswap plays into the action for LeoFinance. Anyone who invested in wLEO before the 1st of the month would receive the 400 UNI.
When part of your growth strategy involves being a market maker on LeoFinance, this kind of news is icing on the cake!
Even before I caught wind of the UNI launch, I was already moving HBD earnings into more LEO. It wasn't a huge amount today, but little by little it adds up.
As I expect the value of LEO to keep rising, it's time to start keeping some liquidity myself. Here so far, I've been staking all of my purchased and earned LEO.
Chances are I won't have enough liquid LEO to take part in the early incentives the wLEO pool is offering. That doesn't mean I can't leverage a higher value LEO token to exchange for other coins. It could be a route to powering up more HIVE, or making other investments entirely.
Catching The NBS Airdrop(s) For Consolation
Though I missed out on UNI, NBS has an airdrop going on as well. I learned of it just in time to catch the airdrop before the initial snapshot.
It appears that airdrops will continue for those who hold BitShares in a BTS wallet. Proxy and registration instructions must be followed in order to qualify.
At this point, the value of NBS when it opens for trading is speculative. Major centralized exchanges such as Binance, Bittrex, etc., have honored the NBS airdrop.
With a series of more NBS coins headed out, I had to exchange my remaining HBD and boost my BitShares hodlings. Now it's time for a bit of patience and with any luck, the market will help out with value.
Thanks for your attention and as always...
