  • In this video, we explain what the Uniswap Decentralized Exchange is, including the purpose of it and the reason for the UNI token. There are 2 main uses for Uniswap.
    So you could be a token swapper, and change your ETH for BAT for only .03%, which is useful to many traders. In fact, Uniswap currently has over one billion dollars trading each day.
    Another main use is you could be a liquidity provider, and earn a return on your investment by lending it to the pool. Right now, there are 9 billion dollars in all of the pools on the Uniswap exchange.

    Guys, this is the best explanation of Uniswap. I watched three other vids on this topic that were so convoluted and dry, it made me wanna cut myself deep. Well done!

    THE CALCULATIONS AT 5:31 ARE WRONG!
    ------------------------------------
    0.3% x 10/day x 30days = 90% per month
    =1080% per year (ROI)
    (Which makes sense now when seeing Liquidity pools that pay 1080% return.

      @@WhiteboardCrypto hi, i have a question on AMM. If i add liqudiity to the pool, it seems that I can see the preferred range. E.g: 1ETH=USD 2400 now, I can "place it" /"add it" if it hit the ranges usd 2680-2720. If ETH rises to that level, my "liquidity"/"eth" is finally sold at that level.?
      or is it just be affected once i decide to pull it out from the pool if it hits that level. so that i earn some money by selling high?
      I have read a few articles on it, but i do not get it clearly.

    First of all, love your channel! I'm not sure what you mean when you say 'no taxes' at 6:27. Swapping one cryptocurrency for another is considered a taxable event so you'd still have to record a capitol gain or loss on that trade.

    • @TimBratton
      @TimBratton Рік тому +1

      Uniswap doesn't report your transactions to any government entity. You'll still owe tax depending on your country's rules. In the US for instance, you're definitely going to need to track and report your transactions and report your income... but you'll have to do that yourself. Uniswap is not going to send you a 1099 form for example.

    "and you pay a very, very small fee" - something like 100$ on Ethereum :-)
    Although luckily, Uniswap is also on Polygon since few months, but the problem is that most exchanges take huge fees when you withdraw MATIC or ETH from your account, so it's still not small fee for most exchanges :-(
