Self-Sufficiency Being self-sufficient is one of my biggest goals in life. I used to believe I’d need a lot of money to achieve it, but nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, money helps. It buys freedom, space, and time. But beyond a certain point, more money doesn’t equal more freedom. The best things in life are free and so is most food, if you know how. We grew 50 potatoes out of 5 old ones. Thats a 10x ROI with nothing but water and earth. Sure, 50 potatoes won’t feed us all winter, but that’s not the point. It’s about learning, experimenting, and evolving. We never learned this from our parents or in school, and like with everything else in life, you need to make mistakes and learn from them. Step by step into deeper self-sufficiency. Not being reliant on the system is one of the best feelings in the world. First, because I don’t agree with much that happens within it. And second, because who can guarantee that the supply of essential goods will always be there? Humanity has always faced cycles of scarcity, no matter how advanced technology seemed at the time. Besides that, building a truly self-sufficient life requires constant decision-making, continuous learning, and steady effort. Without the right skills, most people would be helpless without modern comforts. Many claim they don’t agree with the system or say they want to live free, yet they depend on it 100%, often overwhelmed even by the simplest, non-consequential choices in life. True freedom takes effort and intention, because breaking away from comfort isn’t easy. Strip away the conveniences and systems, built largely on the exploitation of others worldwide and most wouldn’t last a month. I never liked being dependent on anything. That’s why a huge part of my energy goes into building skills that make me and my family truly self-reliant.

DeFi is back at scale. Total DeFi TVL has crossed $160B, the highest since the 2021 cycle, and within that, lending protocols dominate with $83.6B locked. ➢ Base APYs: 4–5% on stables, showing compression as capital floods in. ➢ Looping meta: Spark, Euler, and Morpho still unlock 20–25% compounded yields. ➢ Leaders: Aave ($41B, 49% share), Morpho ($8.5B), Spark ($5.5B), JustLend ($5.2B). ➢ Revenue power: $42.7M in fees and $5.56M revenue over the last 7d → $3.2B annualized fee run-rate. The story isn’t just deposits returning. It is that DeFi lending is monetizing like never before while offering permissionless yield curves that beat both banks and RWAs. ● Market Context: $130B Total, $85B Lending - Total DeFi TVL: $163B (cycle ATH), +100% since September 2024. - Lending share: $83.6B (≈65% of DeFi). This cycle’s composition is clear: money markets are once again the engine, powered by stablecoin inflows ($224B sector mcap, +76% YoY). Lending’s comeback follows the 2022 crash, when TVL cratered to $20B. Now, capital is flowing back into permissionless repo desks; Aave Arc’s $50B institutional bridge, Spark’s stablecoin yield layer, and Morpho’s peer-to-peer optimization. ● Key Players & Market Share 1️⃣ @aave - $40.98B TVL (≈49% market share). - $23.9M fees in the last 7d, $3.22M revenue. - $3M+ daily fee engine; AAVE token trades $300, with 8% staking yield. 2️⃣ @MorphoLabs - $8.55B TVL across 22 chains. - $3.8M fees in the last 7d. - Vaults delivering 10–15% APY; fixed-rate pilots attracting institutions. 3️⃣ @sparkdotfi - $5.5B TVL. - $1.6M fees in the last 7d. - $sUSDS yields 8–9% base; loops hit 12–13%. - $5.2B TVL. 4️⃣ JustLend (@DeFi_JUST) - Sub-1% base APY but loops via Morpho hit 12%+. - Anchors TRON’s $60B $USDT ecosystem, serving EM flows. 5️⃣ @eulerfinance - $1.64B TVL, +38x from post-hack lows. - $2.3M fees in the last 7d. - Permissionless markets allow 20–25% looped yields. ● Yield Dynamics: Looping as the Alpha Unlock ➢ Base lending rates are converging toward 4–5%. But leverage is back: ➢ Looping mechanics: Supply $USDC to Aave (4%), borrow $USDT at 2.5%, redeposit. At 90% LTV, 7–10x recursion compounds into 20–25% APYs. ➢ Volume impact: RedStone oracles estimate 30% of Ethereum lending activity is looped, creating $12–15B in open interest. ➢ Pendle tie-in: PT markets let users lock in fixed slices of those looped yields, further institutionalizing the strategy. Portfolio View: A 10–15% tilt toward looped stable strategies via Aave/Spark/Morpho can deliver uncorrelated 20%+ yields in a market still starved for real yield.

Bitcoin has never had its hockey stick inflection until this global risk index crossed positive, like it just did.
