Indeed, that would be a challenge for all web-reliant industries, although from what I understand it must be a minimum of 10k properly operating (i.e. noiseless) qubits to implement the Shor's algo..

Hey, thx for your comment. I spent years trading options professionally:) Options trading is not a novelty, retail options trading (for the many) still is. Do you have any numbers regarding retail options trading prior to the arrival of RH?

Hey Morten, thanks for your comment. Would you mind to clarify what exactly you find to be a non-sense? I am aware that there is almost no options trading in Denmark (in fact worst in the whole Europe). Which is funny given that all its nei

Hey, thanks, good point. Indeed there are quantum-resistant ledgers, those would survive the quantum computing apocalypses :) Regarding the regulation, I should have definitely mentioned it.. Some countries (like the UK) get really tough on

tbh I am more into options trading than crypto.. I know that Binance is facing an increased scrutiny worldwide, in some countries (like the UK) it's outright banned.. The key thing to keep in mind regarding Binance is that there is a H

Good point, in addition Robinhood is highly leveraged, they raised 3.5b in 2021 at the face value of 5.0b, so the new shareholders would implicitly pay the price for that aggressive borrowing..

Hi! Thanks a lot for sharing the study. I agree with your point. But it's also important to note that options trading can be both lucrative and risk-mitigating. For example, how would everyday investors protect themselves from a potent

Thanks for your comment, but could you pls elaborate what you mean? Do you have any evidence of market manipulation or it's more like feeding into conspiracy theories? I do agree that Fed should probably be more careful with money prin
