I tried my first bit of a liquidity pool position when $LUM was created by to ai agents. I cast about it looking for help and someone replied that what I was doing was DCA. Dollar Cost Averaging. Basically trading $LUM for $USDC but over a longer period. Whenever someone wanted LUM they spent USDC for it and my little pool helped keep the price from fluctuating wildly since it was a long term position.

Here’s the thing about the answer I got, when they said “you’re basically doing a DCA…” I had no fucking clue what that was. In crypto and web3, almost everyone who is an expert is a terrible educator. When people reach that level they have the “optimal path” from problem to solution. They have pruned from their brain all the dead ends and blind alleys they once took when they were a beginner or novice. Experts skip over essential steps bc they are “second nature” and aren’t explicitly “thought of” while they do the thing as an expert.

So when a noob comes looking for help and answers, the advice is problematically truncated. I talk about this expert/novice experience gap all the damn time. So much so, I have an explanation bookmarked in a physical book at my desk so I can refer to the phenomenon and how to overcome it.

“The Extended Mind” by Annie Murphy Paul Chapter 7, page 181 “Automatization” is what the experts have achieved. It makes task performance easier but also complicates the transfer of knowledge to beginners.
