I joined @BlockHashPod to discuss Bitcoin, options, and why you're too bearish on Bitcoin.

The $STRC fud is overwrought. Don’t allow fear to cloud your judgement. Fortune favors the bold.

Bitcoin buyers hitting @F1 in Monaco.

During this period of fear long your longs to be Monaco bound.

This single deal is about the revenue of @CoreWeave to put it in perspective

@SpaceX is the largest neocloud & its AI cloud revenue at $26b run rate is actually at the level of Google Cloud & AWS already, catching up to Azure ($37b run rate)

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.

The word “early” comes to mind in relation to SpaceX

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

SpaceX is increasing the amount it plans to raise in its IPO in Japan by 25%, up to $2.5 billion, due to strong retail investor demand for its stock.

The company plans to offer 14.8 million-18.5 million shares at $135 each, according to a new filing.

Days like today remind us that sentiment often changes abruptly and doesn’t send a calendar invite. Stay focused, stay disciplined, and stay in the game. It’s easy.

[Matt Carr @QCI_GP]

Rate change expectations are undergoing a quick rate of change. Rates are coming down, act accordingly.

[Barchart @Barchart]

JUST IN 🚨: There is now a 3.6% chance of a rate cut at this month's FOMC and a 0% chance of a rate hike 🤯

Forget perps and CDPs, Options are simply a superior tool.

Building index-tracking assets on top of options instead of debt

https://t.co/gFNEvCbHct

What if the use options as the base of defi, instead of CDPs and liquidations? So instead of extreme price movements creating a sharp and global "you get liquidated" effect, instead your exposure to the index diverges quadratically from your preferred exposure in a smoother way?

A key benefit is getting rid of the need for instant oracles, and instead making everything work on top of "slow oracles" (ie. the type that prediction markets use)

This design has a significant downside - the need to do regular rebalancing - and an open question of whether and how this rebalancing can be made slippage-resistant enough. But it's worth considering and trying IMO. I would feel much safer holding algostables inside something like this, than in something that depends on an oracle that has to give real-time answers (and therefore could be tricked into giving wrong real-time answers with no time for human recourse).
