I lost more than 1/4 of the CUB to the Impermanent Loss (IL) of the farms that can't handle such quick gains in CUB value. My USD value has gone up though.

This is the bit that's worth remembering about Impermanent Loss. it all depends on your perspective whether it's a loss or not.

Thanks for the article. It's a great explanation of the pros and cons of farming. So much easier to understand when it's a real life example.
