Arbitrage Puns

But instead of understanding such big issue, i recieved only hate and stupid banters. What toxic community this has become

I get in general what arbitrage is, but I can't figure out how it applies here.

As crypto community of the year I think there are a lot of people in this sub that are 1. Misunderstanding the concept of a deflationary asset, 2. Jealous that they don’t have the money or understanding to arbitrage themselves or 3. Looking for the next thing to whine about now V2 is live.

SafeMoon is a deflationary token. By design it increases in value a small percentage for every transaction that takes place, whether that a buy, sell, transfer or trade.

By holding SafeMoon, every holder gets a piece of the pie, we are the tax man, we all get our cut. Small or large each transaction has a tax that both 1. Burns supply, increasing the scarcity of our token, 2. Reflected and rewards holders and 3. Adds to our liquidity pool, resulting in a more valuable and stable asset moving forward.

These are the fundamentals of Safemoon. It’s why this token has such potential.

SafeMoons value isn’t in the $ price right now, it’s in the volume.

If the price stays low, we all gain more reflections, which today at $0.0018 per token doesn’t mean much to anyone, but if the team can create utility, those 500 tokens worth $0.90 today, will be $500.

Keep the price low while we build use cases for SafeMoon. And the people that are making a small margin capitalising on the difference between V1 & V2 prices are actually helping all of us grow our bags.

If you’re more interested in seeing the price go up at this point in time, you need to take a look at the bigger picture.

Our price is climbing, our reflections are soaring, and the future looks bright. Can I make an ask of everyone on this sub? If you own and hold Safemoon, STOP FUDDING YOUR OWN INVESTMENT.

This isn’t only a place for you to socialize and discuss your investment. It’s a place for potential investors to come as a part of their due diligence before buying. If they come here and see a dozen posts deriding John, complaining about devs, calling this or that a “shitshow”, etc… How is that for a first impression?

There is this fallacy in logic that this needs to be a free speech zone where people can say whatever the hell they want, whenever they want, and they shouldn’t be stopped. That’s bullshit. This community exists to showcase Safemoon to the world, to build the project up, and to welcome others in. It SHOULD be an echo chamber on some level.

That’s not to say one couldn’t express concern for direction or dislike for an aspect in current events. Do it with respect. Be reasonable. Share your concern. Just stop calling your project a shitshow. Leave that to the haters so they’re easier to identify.

1 bLuna only costs 0,98492 Luna, so you make 1.5% profit from buying bLuna.

If you take in to account that bLuna unbonding lasts 21-24 day, then on average we should be able to buy bLuna 16 times a year and the apy would be: 26% which is way more than staking.

Is this a good strategy or are there caveats? I think arbitrage vaults coming in the future may be a threat to the profitablity

· ViCA token is an ERC-20 token provided by the ViCA foundation based in Korea. The concept of ViCA is based on Arbitrage trading. ViCA uses a huge automated trading solution, which is based on an operating bot (ViBOT) to make a guaranteed profit using arbitrage. The profit generated from arbitrage is used to buy back ViCA.

· The founders have taken many measures to ensure no inflation of price would happen, with no ICO, no Presale, no airdrops, and no distribution of tokens for marketing, they are letting the market decide how it goes.

· The project has partnered with a vending machine company in Korea. ViCA is going to be the first cryptocurrency with a solid utility in the market. You will be able to buy from those vending machines using ViCA or Eth. ViCA is always in conversations with a covid masks company which we look into selling in Vending machines using ViCA.

· Project is an ERC-20 token, soon will be also tradable on BSC.

· There will be a YouTube live video to show the arbitrage bot while working

· We have conducted the biggest coin burn ever. 50% of supply was burned (1 billion ViCA) we are going to burn 800 million over the next month. We will be lift with only 200 million ViCA as total supply.

· Huge marketing plans are coming ahead, we are building the community organically and trying to obtain new partnerships.

· ViCA has been running for 3 months without marketing and price moved from $1.5 to $9 showing success in our method.

As most of you know, you can buy cards in IMX with Gods tokens now, but the prices are sometimes 2x what the ones selling in eth go for. The problem for F2P players, or everyone earning Gods in the Blessing of the Gods event, is that due to gas fees, it’s not worth it to withdrawal Gods tokens, convert to eth, deposit again, and finally buy the cheaper cards for sale in eth. So people just buy the more expensive cards selling for Gods. I spent the last 24 hours making arbitrages between the eth cards, and the Gods cards and made $209 profit with $1050 starting cash, so 20% ROI in a day!

The nice thing is that if we make arbitrages, then the eth/Gods card prices will eventually converge in the middle (the eth price will rise, and the Gods price will fall), thus making people more willing to use Gods to buy cards. So it’s a win win for everyone, we can make money on the arbitrage, while making the market more efficient, and increasing the Gods token utility.

I made a video where I show exactly how I do it, the breakdown on earnings, and how to get the Gods back into eth cheaply for another arbitrage. (See comments for link)

Anyways, just wanted to bring this to everyone’s attention so that we can collectively fix the price gap between the eth/gods cards. And as a bonus, we get to make a bit of cash :p

So I’ve been reading about potentially being listed on this exchange and heard people talking about the advantages of early arbitrage trading. Can anyone take the time to break this down in layman’s terms? I’d like for once to be in on something early with a chance to make some money versus buying at or near ATH.

Lots of posts about people making profits due to the price difference. Here are some figures. If I am wrong then fair enough.

Buying $100 of V1 now (0.00000141) gives you 70921985. Take off 20% and you now have 56737588.

Migrate to v2 - (Pay your gas fees) - then you have 56737.

At the current Safemoon wallet price (0.00159) your v2 are worth $90.

So you lose $10.

Selling your V2 - $90 minus the 10% tax = $81

So you have lost $19.

To make a profit the prices would need to be 30% apart.

So 30% of 0.00159 would be 0.000477. Take that 0.000477 from the v2 price = 0.001113 and that means that the V1 price would need to be under 0.000001133.

TLDR - for arbitrage to take place the prices need to be at least 30% apart. And they are not.

First off, what is Arbitrage?

“Arbitrage is the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same asset in different markets in order to profit from tiny differences in the asset's listed price”

The above reason is why different markets stay relatively the same in price for any given asset. Just check any asset on CMC and view it’s prices for all markets listed. So, let’s say Kucoin list Safemoon with or without tokenomics. Regardless, it will bring volume to SafemoonSwap.

If Safemoon drastically raises in price on Kucoin, bots will constantly trade back and forth on these differences until their is no profit to be made. This brings volume to all avenues no matter where you hold and continues indefinitely.

This means you will see more reflections, burn, and of course the price will rise. Any exposure is great for Safemoon. It is very important to understand this.

Of course, it would be great if all tokenomics were consolidated, but to say these listings are useless is absurd and hurtful to your own investment. Some of these new holders will transfer to exchanges that do support tokenomics too. It’s a win-win.

I hope this was helpful for some. Thanks for reading.

Arbitrage Vs. Sabotage Vs. Parenthetical Stupidity

In the wake of the unprecedented and unmitigated 100% transaction fee, applied to all normal transactions involving SafeMoon’s V1 token; a narrative has developed, one fashioned in the classic forms of ‘back-peddling’, crafted as to make SafeMoon developer’s look like heroes, and not the opposite, in the light off widespread and ongoing ceasing of investors tokens.

On December 29th, of 2021, at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST, SafeMoon changed the code line running in the tokens contract that governs the transaction fee rate (AKA Tax) to 100%. The outworkings of this change in the code line resulted in 100% of the tokens being rerouted to a different address than what was noted in the purchase, sale, or general transfer details, on the screens before investors. This single change in the contract, created a trading environment of uncertainties, which have been resulting in mounting losses, for existing tokens holders and those attempting to buy them.

The growing sentiment on the street, if you will, is that V1 one in semblance, has been rug pulled, with some outright defining it as such.

Ultimately, these events have prompted a response from SafeMoon, and they are claiming that the change in the code / contract, was brought on by some bad actors that were engaged in arbitrage. Further stating that by fully taxing V1 the arbitrage would stop.

Now some, in the wake of all of this have suggested or outright claimed that Safemoon created the arbitrage, by releasing a second token at a higher price, than the first, permitting the first token (V1) to be traded for the second (V2) at a fixed ratio of 1000:1, a ratio that was / is smaller than the price disparity.

Meaning that the more V1 you own, the more V2 you will get. In that the V2 Token was / is worth over a 1000 times more than the V1 token, therefore being greater than the consolidation rate, a door to arbitrage, was opened.

However, others are calling it an ‘arbitrage like’ event, because two tokens and not one have been involved, with purchases and swaps occurring within singular exchanges, rather than across two or more.

For those of whom that are unfamiliar with arbitrage, you wouldn’t likely have known the distinction, and have just trusted the narrative that is circulating, as being accurate and therefore true.

Arbitrage is actually something altogether different than what has been occurring with the SafeMoon’s V2 launch.

Arbitrage is the s

To me this was the absolute biggest take away from the court hearing yesterday..never thought id hear the day when they publicly admit to something this serious shitadel lawyer also admits to rerouting retail orders to the darkpool..what else are they doing to fuck retail???NOT THIS TIME SHITADEL...YOU CANT FUCK WITH THE APES AND WIN..

"When somebody transfers tokens through BTP, there will be a 0.20% fee charged to the user and sent to the Fee Aggregation contract. There will also be a minimum fee to block spamming of small transactions. All fees will be aggregated into a smart contract and auctioned off to ICX holders. For other types of services besides transferring tokens (e.g. NFT transfer where a 0.20% fee can’t work), the Service Contract developer may use their own fee system. More details on how to develop your own service will be provided as BTP governance processes are ironed out. It will likely be an off-chain IIP process.

The end result of this process is discounted token purchases for ICX holders. For example, let’s say the Fee Aggregation contract holds 1 ETH from fees, and on the market it’s 900 ICX for 1 ETH. ICX holders can start placing bids for that 1 ETH, and maybe the winning bid will be 800 ICX for the 1 ETH. This creates value for ICX, as it will be a token used to purchase other tokens at a discount. And this will be for all assets connected to ICON through BTP."

That’s it. That’s the post.

I have a professional seller account, FBA, and I am starting with retail arbitrage. No products ever listed yet. Few questions:

• I purchased a lot of Christmas items 75% off at local retail stores. Some of the Walmart products have the Walmart name, logo, and price printed right on the packaging. Can I still sell these?
• I purchased hundreds of boxes of Christmas lights, all clear and white so hopefully they'll sell all year, but various sizes and counts. How many should I send to the warehouse for my 1st stock? Is it worth it to just send them all? Not sure how much storage fees will be. -If Amazon itself is a seller of the same product I'm selling, how will this affect my sales of that product if I match Amazon's price?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

For fun I developed a triangle arbitrage bot on Kraken, and I was delighted that some arbis pop up frequently. When trying to grab them, I always lose of course. Does anyone have an idea how competitive this space is before I waste time trying to find a low-latency VPS? If Kraken is already at the large-company, microwave-transmitter, uber-fast-FPGA stage, I won't waste my time trying to win. But as far as I know, Kraken's server is only accessible behind CloudFlare, so the deal is just to rent a VPS in California and try to get lucky? Anyone had success here?

Nobody is buying $300K worth of anything without seriously researching it… I get that a lot of people may have dropped $20-100 into SafeMoon on a whim and due to the hype… but serious money does its research.

The big money buys of V1 right now that are happening are clearly bots set up to benefit from arbitrage opportunities… and like every other arbitrage investment opportunity, this one disappeared leaving them high and dry… there is no reason to weep for these people. They should have put controls on their bots.

We are Safemoon ambassadors. We are invested in the token. We should be the ones helping to clear things up not the ones spreading negativity

The team can't withdraw the liquidity because it's locked (locked because of previous complaints the the team might pull it an run). If this tax isn't instituted then V2 might not be going anywhere as arbitraging between V1 and V2 seems very lucrative. What other options do you think the devs have?

The cry babies need to grow up. The 100% tax has nothing to do with those with V1 wanting to migrate to V2.

Let's get back to what we are know for, the loving caring #Safemoonarmy that we are

At what point does PSLV become an Arbitrage Opportunity? At Minus 2.82% at yesterdays close, could someone buy in, take delivery, and sell to someone else like the CimeX or a mint, therefore locking in a guaranteed gain? If the total delivery Fee is less than 2.82% and that someone has access to swaps deals of course it could. So I guess my question is when does this become likely, I would think with the fees I’ve seen, we are already there?

Edit: fat thumb on tittle …… PSLV

I don't do it, but I think people who are doing it are doing us a favor even though they are holding the price down. 1- For every transaction they do a percent goes to holders.

2- A percent is burned.

Am I wrong ?

So the Arbitrage between v1 and v2 is what held us down until the 100% tax was imposed on v1, however now it seems there's a cap at $0.003 that we can't break either. What are the technical reasons behind this? Some other hidden arbitrage thing going on?

I’m not a expert, but seems like selloffs are happening when we reach at certain price (around 0.0019-0.0020). I wonder if the bots are still selling on V2 to buy in V1 (and consequently losing the tokens)…

Hi all, wondering if anyone has experience or insight using a domestic storage battery (eg Tesla Powerwall) for energy arbitrage?

I looked into it a couple of years ago to support solar panels, and the ROI was tight at best, likely negative when you factor in maintenance and opportunity cost. It looked like the cost of lekky in the UK was too low to make any sort of battery storage worthwhile.

Now energy prices are up, I’m considering solar panels and/or a battery.

There’s A 25p/kWh difference between Octopus’ day and night tariff. A quick calculation shows if I used a whole Powerwall charge a day it would save £3.25.

That would make it pay for itself in around six years with current prices. Not great, not terrible. I’m likely to have an EV soon too.

Now, the tricky part is scenario modelling. I have to factor in opportunity costs, and future lekky prices. IMHO we’re in for a few years of high prices, so I think the breakeven may get better with time. If prices drop then I may be left with an expensive white elephant. But if they rise I’ll be using that sweet 5p night electricity all day long.

Anyone done anything similar, and are there any other variables I’m missing?

Basic Info:

We are making a novel category of financial services using the BSC blockchain in order to automate financial profit-extracting algorithms.

Our first service will be profit sharing on an arbitrage bot, denominated by your share of the total $ARB pool.

💎💎 Don't miss out on this gem ! 💎💎

Arbiter was created in December 2021, and it will launch the pre sale on Jan 11th, 2022.

Arbiter [$ARB] is the utility token for an arbitrage platform. Upon completion of the dApp platform, users will have the ability to share profits made by an arbitrage bot. Arbiter will then begin delivering other Automated Market Making strategies like liquidations and sniping to retail investors through it's dApp.

Arbitrage is the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same asset in different markets in order to profit from tiny differences in the asset's listed price. In economics and finance, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a difference in prices in two or more markets; striking a combination of matching deals to capitalize on the difference, the profit being the difference between the market prices at which the unit is traded. Arbitrage is essentially risk-free when carried out properly.

I've been looking up flash loan examples and they keep coming up. Is it an an actual thing? Because they explained it in detail despite the code not doing what they said it would.

First post here in what looks like a great new sub. I'm interested to know: are people focussing their ML mainly on macro economic and market features in the hope of making something predictive, or on detecting micro-arbitrage opportunites very rapidly (mispriced options etc). Or something totally different like risk management/bet sizing/anything else?

For me I always end up going for the former, but strongly suspect any real money is to be found in the latter.

I'm no engineer, just a holder like the rest of us but here are my thoughts on V1 buying arbitrage. I think it's actually a good thing that so much buying is still happening on V1. I don't think you can convert from V2 to V1 so it's a 1 way ticket. when people buy on V1 to take advantage of the price difference then sell on V2 they are essentially migrating over a portion of the V1 supply. Even if they dump it as soon as they migrate, these tokens still get converted and cannot go back to V1.

Eventually, there will be no tokens left on V1 to buy and we will be fully migrated to V2. This is imminent. Patience is key here, we'll be on the moon eventually, just keep on holding!

Hey folks, the title says it all. I'm exploring whether I can take advantage of different prices across chains to do arbitrage. Do you know of any website that tracks exchange rates across chains?

Use case example: I'd like to compare the MIM-USDC pair on Polygon and on Avalanche, so that if the difference is higher than 3% I just bridge, exchange and get some $$$.

Brief intro: I'm a 22 year old economics student currently at university, got interested in crypto as a gamble with doge and that has helped me better understand the technology and take care of my personal finances (now I'm more diversified and in better projects). English is not my first language so excuse my grammar (hope this series of posts helps improve it)

 

The article has 3 parts: (1) opportunities (2) my experience (3) risks (4) overall assessment.

 

Before starting, you must take into account that I live in a country with strong capital flow restrictions in which people are not allowed to buy more than 200 dollars in foreign currency to save per month. With a 50%+ inflation rate this implies lots of problems.

 

First let's define arbitrage: "the simultaneous buying and selling of securities, currency, or commodities in different markets or in derivative forms in order to take advantage of differing prices for the same asset"

 

{1} Opportunities: A. Arbitrage opportunities using interest rates: This one is a sketchy and risky one. Interest rates are around 40% in my country, with an inflation rate of around 50% this would mean a real interest rate of around -6%. But here we will be looking at potential dollar gains, not gains in real terms (in such volatile economies this might be tricky). The exchange rate in Argentina is pretty much tied to the amount of dollars available as reserves. When we have lots of dollars we keep our exchange rate as low as possible because people are "richer" in terms of dollars. When reserves run out (we are out of dollars) we usually devalue (meaning the dollar rises in price) and this usually leads to an inflation spiral. Anyways, for example, the exchange rate at february 2021 year was around 165-170 pesos per dollar. As dollars poured into the economy due to a great harvest (and rising soy prices) the exchange rate dropped to the 155 range around June 2021. With a ~3% inflation per month, and a ~2.5% interest rate on deposits this would mean a real rate of return of about 20-25% in dollars if you had sold your dollars for pesos, put them to get interest rate at a bank and bought dollars once again. An enormous return compared to other markets (I will talk about the risks further down the article if you want to skip).

 

B. Arbitrage opportunities using different exchange rates (in crypto) I just calculated the exchange rates of pesos per dollar by b

I used to work a second job at Amazon to make extra money with my spare time. It was an easy enough job and a nice break from the "thinking" work of my FT career. I could see myself working a job like that for the first few years of retirement, barista FIRE style.

One interesting quirk I've been thinking about: Amazon's $15/hr minimum wage. At the time, it didn't mean much to me since the minimum wage of my HCOL city was also $15/hr (and, contrary to Amazon's advertising, they only paid minimum wage in my city,) but I don't plan on retiring in a HCOL area.

What are some thoughts on barista FIRE in a LCOL area, specifically working for a company with a national "minimum wage" substantially higher than the local minimum wage?
