@oliviaakory Sounds more like you’re a bad host and don’t have the connects to get things moving. I imagine the clients said this too, or at least thought it
@HamptonPrezcott With the current proposals, Bears could not sell another ticket for 5 years & it would still be more profitable for them to move to Indiana. $1B in stadium support (which they can buy back for $1) & $50M in taxes saved. Bears only make $80M annually, one of the lowest in the NFL
Illinois’ rationale is that the stadium would increase the property value so that same tax rate would result in around $50M of annual taxes. Bears are correct to ask for a cap on such, IL is just not willing to negotiate. Bears only make $80M annually, they literally can’t afford to stay in IL without concessions. It’s a complete failure by the IL government thus far - but let’s see if they counter out of panic
Ya man, my family and I moved from Illinois after 27+ years of living there - couldn't stand the anti-business policies anymore. I just don't understand why IL won't work with the Bears. All of the Bears' asks are legitimate. Pritzker keeps saying it would hurt the tax payer, but thats just not true and I genuinely am trying to understand his logic. Makes you wonder if the deal is not going through due to the Bears being unwilling to provide under the table money to his office.
I am saying it is stupid that IL will not meet the Bears asks. Pritzker is claiming that doing so would harm the IL taxpayer and therefore he wont accept it. Pritzker is incorrect and I am asking what his logic is. The Bears would be stupid not to accept Indiana's offer, given IL's unwillingness to negotiate. Read my response again buddy
Thanks to @TemplarProtocol, users can borrow USDC on Ethereum L1 against hemiBTC at market-leading rates. Publicly traded treasury companies, such as @BTCS_SA, are allocating hemiBTC to @GamiLabs to grow their balance sheets via this carry trade.
@Yueqi_Yang It’s literally just a money line bet on the Knicks, something people have been able to do for hundreds of years. They actually would have had a better ROI had they used @DraftKings or @FanDuel since both books had better lines and promos
when STRC drifted below its $100 par, the on-chain wrappers built around it got hit immediately. @apyx_fi and @saturn_credit, both tokenizing $STRC dividends for DeFi yield, saw their products depeg. the underlying yield kept accruing. the collateral value didn't.
that gap is the part that never makes the pitch deck. TradFi sentiment wobbles, the on-chain derivatives reprice in real time, and suddenly your dashboard is showing healthy yield while your principal bleeds out quietly. holders got a live basis risk lesson they didn't sign up for.
not a collapse. but a real preview of what RWA wrappers look like under stress when the peg mechanics aren't deep enough to hold.
views of my own and does not represent how @hemi_xyz looks at yield vs risk.
Draymond on SGA's Foul-Baiting And Flopping
“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”
