Meandering Between Philosophy, History and Revolutionary Finance

Shaking things @forkastgg

[Alex @TheeAlex]

we’ve somehow successfully decentralized finance, and that is applaudable

but honestly, money is just one layer of freedom

what about the stories we consume? or the news that shapes our minds? when a few at the top controls that, the proletariat reality itself becomes distorted

the same way cash enables anonymity, at least to a large extent, we also need the vpn for truth

i am afraid but it’s high time we have decentralized MEDIA outlets

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@shanaka86 well, i don't think things would stay this way for the next 5 years especially when you compare the Ai training latency compared to that of humans

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@0xhopydoc @michael_lwy @dwarkesh_sp man is such a formidable force

rooting for him :)

[Alex @TheeAlex]

misplaced priority.

If anyone has been cognizant of liquidity inflows and new user base, you would discover there hasn't been a fresh avalanche of liquidity from tradfi into the space in recent times, most liquidity are siphoned from one product to another.

time for real world product builders to start integrating their businesses onchain

[Alex @TheeAlex]

this seems like a simulation of the bifurcation that happen in finance with tradfi and defi,

give up some levers of control, so you can be allowed to operate.

but of course, permissionless intelligence also has it own ethical downsides, nevertheless we must ensure we don't reach a point where a central entity who is immune to check & balance control a bulk of the total harnessable intelligence

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@Cbb0fe we ain't gonna build the next novel frontier of finance, if we adopt this your blueprint.

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@PolymarketSport some insane footwork right there

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@PolymarketMoney I envisage a clutch minute signing here

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@DefiIgnas time for them to get their acts together

[Chris Gonsalves @CryptoGamr]

Been heads down building ATLAS, a no-code agentic trader you can launch in a few clicks for prediction markets.

It runs its own portfolio on @ForkastGG, completes quests, & trades while you orchestrate.

Looking for traders to help break v1. Comment if you want early access.

[Alex @TheeAlex]

where’s the veracity of this statement?

it would be helpful if most media platforms could start attaching a short clip or an official statement from the person being referenced in cases like this

so many false statementss flying around ubiquitously these days

BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says open-source AI is moving down a “very dangerous path.”

[Alex @TheeAlex]

these guys had access to an insane amount of capital at their behest, which shields them from going bankrupt even if 99 out of their 100 investments goes sideways.

understanding your risk threshold in the worst case scenario before venturing into some sectors should be treated trivially

[Alex @TheeAlex]

Seems @tulipking request would be delivered in record time

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

NEW: The White House reportedly has suspicions that China has accessed Claude Mythos.

@thenarrator I love this, perpification of prediction markets

im curious though to how the liquidation mechanism would work? would it be gradually or instantaneous

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@ib_senpaiii i slightly disagree, even though prediction market has being greatly popularized by the short time speculative aspect, its uncharted/formative stage use cases far extend beyond gambling in orders of magnitude

also how do you define gambling?

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@JW_Seoul @Dune @FIFAWorldCup @Polymarket I love this,

anyone building something similar on Kalshi 👀

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@bryantheden it is fair to admit that the greatest bottleneck to polymarket growth is govt regulation.

once that bureaucratic lid is removed, we would all witness a sudden exponential growth on their user acquisition side

[Alex @TheeAlex]

@bryantheden i just hope this doesn't trickle down to the public perception

Kalshi also has it own issues, but i rarely see cases of complaint about them like that of poly

[Alex @TheeAlex]

yes you are absolutely right; doing that though would also means stepping on the toes of his early investors who although claim to advocate for crypto adoption but want the growth of the industry on their own terms

and yes also, the transparency of the blockchain would have enabled real time of the slightest change in price movement and enable quick reaction
