The SideSwap team has delivered a new degen product that uses L-BTC and Liquid Tether to bet on the Bitcoin price.

I had to give it a shot and it worked fairly easy

Liquid is a dead chain but this might bring more activity to liquid as people love to degen.

The FAQs are here

I know some maxis think liquid is a shitcoin but I like the design and the services it offers now plus this SideSwap team makes it extremely easy to peg in and out and interact with the liquid network.

Trade at your own risk

Total degen stuff. Win/lose is 50/50 probability. But if you win, you gain 80% - 5% fee = 75%, and if you lose: -100%. Your expected P&L = -12.5%. For a dealer it is positive: (+95% gain vs -80% loss) / 2 = +7.5%.

Liquid is a very useful chain to pegin 'tainted' BTC UTXOs if you need to off-ramp to fiat.

reply

Yeah the risk reward is terrible! Why I just do it for fun haha but it did work as my LN markets hedge as the market fell. I don’t think you pay a funding fee when doing a trade

reply

In theory, if the win/lose is 50/50 could you employ a martingale betting strategy to improve the odds? It seems like it would work with a 75% payout. Granted the martingale strategy has a chance of getting extremely out of hand since it doubles the bet on every loss, and i'd imagine you would run into liquidity issues on that market if the bet got too big.

Absolute degeneracy, great stuff.

reply
could you employ a martingale betting strategy to improve the odds

No. This strategy can never work, because your capacity to increase the bets is limited. Casino always win.

first of all thank you for actually describing the site in your text, beyond just a hook and a link


... it sounds like "trading" is the wrong word, and it is more accurately described as an exotic binary bet of some sort?

I generally don't use any of these myself, although they are part of the generalized market because the site always needs to hedge its position, due to not having direct control over how any of the past or future customers will bet.

reply

Yeah it’s a proof on concept.

Opened a new hedge

Goal here is to offset the losses on Ln markets

If my LN market trades get stop loss out then the hedge on this platform should kick in

reply

No wins yet. Since I always long on LN markets maybe I hedge here and go short
