I'm living in Lantau, it's a really great place :-) I doubt you would recognize it though. Discovery Bay which would have been very new in 1989 is now a huge and wealthy place gathering mainly westerners. Tung Chung is now a busy

This is actually the only answer that is pertinent in this context, it should be up voted. Securities generate returns, commodities do not. The regulation proposals for tokens include a number of different categories: utilities (governance)

Replying to myself because I think people are overreacting to the last paragraph. There is a case to be made that BTC spot and future are not delta one. I did not check specifically for BTC, but often in crypto the liquidity on futures is m

A future is not an "exotic" derivative, it's a "vanilla" product. Futures are mainly OK because there is no custody nor settlement of the underlying itself. Everything is settled in cash. In this respect, cash settl

This is a spot versus future ETF issue. When applying for an ETF you have to prove that the underlying cannot be easily manipulated, and is evolving in a fair market. The current ETFs are based on BTC futures from CME, which is a high quali

A flash crash (an order book getting dried up) is a form of glitch. It's very different from having the market price BTC at 20k for real.

The process you're describing looks like some trial and error PRs... Multirepo also allows you to roll out that change incrementally instead of big banging all the time.

Sure, how did we ever manage to rename something without monorepos. Oh wait, maybe that's what this "versionning" thing is all about.

Right, but in that case the choice is between a pre-made extract with unknown sampling, or a full population. Asking for a custom-made sample is really the same as requesting the whole population and sampling yourself.

Dear god, so much antipatterns on a single page. Interleaving configuration management in the business logic code is a massive technical debt waiting to engulf future generations in a world of maintainance pain.
