While most of the comment is indeed a very detailed and interesting analysis, the last part is unfortunately looking like a "it was better before" nostalgia bias. I'm currently writing my phd project (after having worked for

But it's way more risky cause you could end up loosing more than the price of the option. Thus people would be more careful which is an improvement in my point of view. Re-establishing the uptick rule would be a middle ground between b

From the very article you reffered to me : Short sellers were blamed for the Wall Street Crash of 1929.[15] Regulations governing short selling were implemented in the United States in 1929 and in 1940.[citation needed] Political fallout f

Ok so how on earth does the fact that derivatives permitted the tulip Bubble is an argument in favor of derivatives? It might a question of point of view. Maybe you focus more on tulip frenzy financial opportunities while I focus more on pe

Well as far as I know X already tend to grow since Bitcoin introduction and it's a big point of discord between developers ("should we increase block size" argument as far as I know). Now to be more accurate it might rather b

Sorry if I'm naive but another thing I've always wondered about that is the exponential size of the blockchain. I mean if Bitcoin ever gain real traction isn't it pretty inefficient to store all the data and replicate it arou

Doesn't that mean that a whole blockchain could possibly be deemed illegal in some country due to copyright infringement or other liability of publications laws? I mean if you can't erase the data and keep publishing it, some woul

I don't say cryptocurrency can't be a thing. If widely supported it can succeed as any other fiat currency. It's just that I think it's nonsensical to apply analogy between gold/bitcoin because of the lack of practi

Not really relevant here however. And they call for more study to confirm or deny their finding. So far so good. It's people that might overact in a way or another, this article is just a piece of data.
