Indeed, they are enabling it, but I think like any vice its all about how you handle it, if you have disposible income and self control and you use these prediction markets as a little entertainment, I don't see why it can't be a bit of fun, like you do spending your money on video games!
Agreed, its probably one of my top 3 buzz kills along with dubstep and shitcoins
How many retail traders are going to migrate from meme stocks to trading futures and end up with a claim they need to exercise on a whole bunch of soybeans or corn? 😂 😂 😂
When were you not fighting for politicians though? Wasn't the previous WWs the same case?
How much different was it fighting for kings/monarchs? I guess that was more of you fight or you die
I can't say I blame them, you're getting a raw deal at the best of times, and they're only munching more of your paycheque each year
But clearly the Fins and Ukrainians feel differently, because of big bad Russia
Percentages speak volumes, not many EU citizens think it's worth saving or defending

When you finally orange pill and they start attempting to orange pill others
I'm worried, I've started a chain reaction that will change the world
And now I've become fiats death, destroyer of all your cash flow models!

Zaptoes!!!
Lol if ever I turn on the news and I see what they spending taxes on I get an undescribable icky feeling
Lol cryptographically shitposting is highly underated, the market will eventually revalue my portfolio of nostr backed memes, of this I am sure
Lol is it stealing if you willingly handed over your sats? I don't think so, when I swapped Bitcoin for shitcoins back in the day when i first started, no one forced me I did it out of my own stupidity, people are making economic decisions everyday some good some bad!
Lol that's their mistake to make, we all have to waste sats sometime to learn the value of them, I learned it the hard way and I live with that regret everyday and it keeps me humble and grounded, pain alters, pain changes!
Cooper : Humor, seventy-five percent.
TARS : Confirmed. Self destruct sequence in T minus 10, 9...
Cooper : Let's make that sixty percent.
TARS : Sixty percent, confirmed. Knock knock.
Cooper : You want fifty-five?

Kid: Dad today we learned in history class that back in 2009 you could still mine Bitcoin on a regular home computer and make 50 BTC for securing a block, why didn't you mine back then?
Dad: Hey Kiddo, this is how we got down in 2009, NFS > BTC

67k is legit 58k just inflation adjusted, change my mind!

Bitcoin Maxis from the class of 2015 when people rave about a price pump
Them: Nostr will never catch on, its too complicated and big tech social is so easy to use and it's so reliable
Me: On my way to Meta and Twitter HQ to go smash their servers just to see how redundant their setup is
