It was @acesontop who recently introduced this kind of short form question & answer engagement post on LeoFinance. I think it's a grand idea. Soon we will have a short form LeoFinace section for exactly those types of posts.

As some may be aware, I entered a Balancer LP shortly after the attack on the wLEO V1 Uniswap LP. Though it's a small position, I've been collecting BAL outside the LP for the past month.

As it stands, my yield comes to just under 1 BAL token. I have another 0.325 BAL waiting for collection from this past weeks yield. By Wednesday of next week I should have a similar yield.

Should I Swap My BAL Yield For wLEO?

The answer seems to be an obvious no, taking into consideration today's gas fees. I declined the MetaMask transaction when I saw the $5 fee. But what if gas falls and I can get a better rate?

It seems I should wait until next week if I wanted to make that swap anyway. I'll have close to 1.65 BAL to swap by waiting a few more days.

Check the screenshot below of the transaction details for my BAL to wLEO as it stands right now:

With the tap of a tab on Uniswap and another in my MetaMask wallet, I could receive around 61 wLEO for my BAL. The gas has actually come down from the $5 plus worth of ETH it showed an hour ago. See below:

That's about two dollars less in fees than it was before. What do you think? Should I make the swap now, later, or Hodl?

Thanks for your time and I appreciate any input.
