17) And so we return to our yield farm, piles of Y dropped on top of each other. What is Y worth? Well, let's say it was trading at $1. Then comes the yield, and there are twice as many of it. What's it worth now? Well, you look at the AMM, and... looks like about $1.

18) And it's not just you, it's everyone. Everyone still sees $1. And maybe it "should" be $0.50 now. But it's not like $1 was any more blessed before than it is now. And just because a token was worth something doesn't constrain what it can be now.

19) Sure, hyperinflation, whatever. I looked at the pool and the pool told me $1. Even

agreed! So $1 it is, and the market cap of Y doubles. Yield go brrrrrrrr

20) The whole point of Y is that it's designed to tickle our collective imagination into thinking it's worth $1 post-split. And it does, and we do, and so it is. But now, also, we're all richer, out of thin air. Well we can't _sell_ those riches, not withing crashing them.

21) But we can hold them, and as long as we all have strong hands we stay rich. But the world has no more bread, or houses, than it did before. We got more of them, at the expense of everyone who agrees that Y is still worth $1 but doesn't have any.

22) And what Y shows is that some of our deep beliefs about what has value were never more than an implicit agreement never to doubt it too much. Because when you do, sometimes, everything is exposed.

23) So anyway, a few days ago a master chef cooked us all up a platter of pure yield. And in doing so, he taught us a few lessons about ourselves.

24) First, he taught us that if we all believe a coin is worth a billion dollars, then maybe it is, at least for a day. But he taught us something else, too. See we divide the world up, into vegetables and blue chip projects.

25) Vegetables are empty, and projects are in it for the long term. But maybe sometimes those gatekeepers of our ecosystem were made out of our collective imagination. And when some yield shows up, and our belief flickers from one pool to another...

26) ...it can be shocking to see what everything looks like without clothes.

27) Anyway maybe this will be the last day of the chef. If so, here’s one last meal. dex.projectserum.com And if not, long may he captivate our imagination with his craft.

It’s a masterpiece thread — peak crypto & very clever misdirection (in positive sense). - In theory it’s abt $sushi & #yieldfarming. - At core it’s abt monetary theory & $based. - In final effect, it’s the most “organic” $SRM shill that crypto’s ever seen. 👍

Interesting. Well, it is all about consensus and sometimes FOMO. Everyone is too lazy or too expensive to do anything is a big hypothesis. But it is also a dangerous game, or even gambling. When I see $Kimchi getting over 35000% APY, I think the game is close to being over.

It also works in reverse. If you claimed sushi and sent it to centralized exchange to dump. The pool doesn't know it (at least, right away), so the price doesn't crash. Good move!
