How You Can Double Your Money — Or Lose Everything

Angel investor and writer Tony Sheng explains what yield farming is, why it’s been such a craze, and whether or not the trend is sustainable. We discuss:

  • how yield farming works
  • how people could potentially earn 100% in annual percentage yields from it
  • why people can earn more from lending or borrowing certain tokens vs. others
  • how people can earn from borrowing at all
  • how much leverage people are playing with
  • the three ways people can lose their money while trying to yield farm
  • and what the long-term significance is of yield farming for crypto
