If you listened to the most recent weekly LeoFinance/CubDefi AMA with khal, you'll have heard him talk about pooling as the new selling.
It works like this:
You want to sell your token, let's say BTC. You think the market is probably going higher, but it's time to start taking some money off the table.
But you'd hate yourself if the price of BTC rises after you sell.
So instead of selling all at once and kicking yourself later, you swap half of your BTC (or whatever) for a stable coin and pool that.
If BTC continues to rise, then you'll continually sell BTC inside the pool for the stable coin. When you want to take everything off the table and pull liquidity you will end up with a more stable coin and less BTC. Effectively this is dollar-cost-averaging your sale.
If BTC falls, then you'll automatically buy BTC inside the pool for the stable coin.
Neal, have you seen the markets lately?
Why yes I have. Thank you for that segue.
What I've realized in this market slump is that pooling is also the new buying.
Same exact mechanics as above, but instead of swap-and-add from BTC you are swap-and-adding from fiat.
This turns into an automatic dollar-cost-averaging buy if BTC (or whatever) continues to fall after you buy. You get half of your position in immediately and then continue to buy if it drops or starts selling if you caught the bottom.
Oh, and did I mention pool rewards?
