Once burrow is live on NEAR mainnet, it will allow an interesting pattern of investing.
Burrow liquidations minimize the discount a user pays through the game theory of getting it first by competing liquidators. Read more here: https://github.com/NearDeFi/burrowland#liquidations
Details below
It means you'd be able to put USD* as a collateral and burrow NEAR. Then you can stake that NEAR and earn about 11% APR on it. If the price goes up, you will be liquidated and maybe going to pay 1-2% in discount on the way (which is like a fee when you buy), but if NEAR price goes down, you are not going to be liquidated, so you can increase your position more, because your collateral in USD* still keeps your value.
