I suppose yes and no. Screwing up the maximum supply seems like an enormous blunder while I kinda understand the assumption that “price > 0” if they’re supposed to be backed by 75% usdc.

So why is defi necessary to make this happen? I feel this vision defeats the whole purpose of defi. The Kenyan farmer still needs to sign up with a centralized insurance provider. The insurance provider also now needs to overcollaterize the

I agree with your point. Maybe I should get off my ass and contribute to an open protocol that I believe in... Unfortunately I’ve got my day job to perform and my side projects I really enjoy have nothing to do with crypto.

I will always fundamentally distrust blockchain protocols where a “private token sale” or something similar is possible. If we are truly trying to create a new decentralized financial system, why are we letting corporate entities build and

And why do you think the VX futures spiked? The XIV collapse happened on the largest single day percent change in VIX history. It’s a bit silly to say it was the only the futures but not the literal index they track.

They would just have to pay the premium that short sellers were demanding. I see your point, but calling it a short squeeze seems odd to me. "Volpocalypse" was indeed an unprecedented spike in IV, which the futures market was reac

Just want to point out that a "short squeeze" is not possible with these volatility ETNs. They are collateralized debt instruments for which there is an unlimited supply. The underlying for these products is /VX futures, whic

No an open device does not automatically mean insecure. Proper security controls should work even if the schematics are open. If they don’t, that is a security defect whose ownership falls under the manufacturer.

Actions from the federal reserve are not part of the stimulus packages though right? Stimulus packages are legislation passed by congress vs independent actions taken by the Fed.

Yep same substance but you misunderstand my point. The risk here is that street mushrooms usually are going to be LESS potent than people think. What happens now, is that people pull the random statistic out of thin air saying "well 3.

Psilocybin content varies wildly in street mushrooms. I don't think a comparison between pharmaceutical grade psilocybin and illicit uncontrolled mushrooms is very useful. I've witnessed lots of people losing their shit after eati

I guess we can agree to disagree. You can absolutely experience ego death in this range (or at least 'ego-shaking'). An 1/8th is pretty normal yeah for the typical recreational user, but I don't think that's a great

25 is a pretty fat dose. Seems excessive for a scientific study... I always wonder how these people running the studies choose their doses. Do we want the participants to have a smooth/pleasant trip? Or have an white knuckle, ego-oblit

Can you clarify what you're talking about? I do not believe that GDPR regulations prevent Facebook from notifying their users about a data breach. I mean, GDPR is a joke but that would be absolutely nonsensical.

Your original point seems to be: "bicyclists are not disrupting traffic because they are part of traffic" My counter point is that "being part of traffic does not preclude you from disrupting traffic. See reckless driver exam
