#PredictiveMarkets #EventContracts

Event contracts, a form of #FuturesTrading, allow you to #speculate on the possibility of real-world events—election results, weather events, etc. In addition to meddling with governance, #elections, #climate science, and #pandemic control, these markets could incentivize people with access to information to withhold it, trade or bet on what they know, and walk away with loads of money when the event actually unfolds.

@MoneroTalk because people using #Monero don't do it #HODL or #speculate but as a genuine #payment system!

• And that's why it has stenght, which it's not "going #ToTheMoon!"

The value of Monero isn't it's exchange rate but it's #tech, #privacy, #fungibility, #speed and #scalability.

• No matter if #FUD, #Delisting and #Criminalization will change that.

@amydiehl possibly TLTR, didn't find out. I'll #speculate that #women are more likely to want a better life for #humanity while the #men just want to grab the #keys to the #shuttle and #shoot their #load

Amid growing evidence that huge numbers of carbon credits do nothing to mitigate global heating and can sometimes be linked to alleged human rights concerns, there is a growing pile of carbon credits equivalent to the annual emissions of Japan, the world’s fifth largest polluter, that are unused in the unregulated voluntary market, according to market analysis.

@Matthew And there is already a #startup that wants to run an #exchange where you can #speculate with the #bankcruptcy #tokens! They just need $25 mio #VentureCapital to get started. Google #GTX. Seriously.

This product is #awesome. For some definition of awesome. If I understand it correctly, you are supposed to #mortgage your #house to #speculate on #Bitcoin. 20% of any Bitcoin appreciation goes to your #lender. Plus 7.5% #interest p.a. on the #loan amount. If Bitcoin goes down, you lose 100%. What could go #wrong? #crypto
