At dinner ~two weeks ago in the Bahamas, @zmanian articulated how Terra’s implosion would be LTCM-style blow up and lead us into bear market. We each guessed how long would take. @zmanian said imminent. @lalalavendr said one month. I said one year. Key to life is smart friends.✌🏼
The worst thing you can do in a relationship is ask the person you love to pay for their sins against you. To "prove" their love. To "win back your trust." We are all broken, and ugly, and stupid, and if we were required to pay for all of our crimes against one another, we would be in eternal debt. Either you can forgive them, or you don't. But never make it a debt that requires them to be subservient to you. You think you might win something in having that sense of power, but you don't. Every day that you don't just love them with the full expression of your devotion, feeling the freedom that comes with total submersion into your pact to each other, you lose and you lose and you lose.
@futurenomics@anistotle_ The reason everything is personal is because a founder is doing the most vulnerable thing of all time by building a company that other people can’t see is obviously valuable and it’s hard
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
Happy to ship the first version of Hedgebook, powered by @Kalshi : an app showing how every SPX companies can hedge their core business risks using Kalshi event contract markets.
Event contracts and perpetual contracts consolidated into a single, onshore, regulated exchange is how we get to perfect Arrow-Debreu markets.
Thanks to @j0hnwang and @0x_ultra for inviting me to build this, and to Nicole from @KalshiResearch for inviting me to present the early frameworks at the Kalshi Research Conference in March.
