Roulette:
“Loads of reds… next one has to be black.”
Football:
“Been loads of unders lately… over 2.5 is due.”

It’s called the gambler’s fallacy — and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Drives me mad 😂

1 in 5 Brits are building their next business over a pint. Pubs aren't just serving drinks - they're serving as innovation labs. Darwin and Dickens knew it. Modern entrepreneurs are rediscovering it.

From 430,000 to 31.8 million crypto tokens in 5 years. Then 11.6 million collapsed in 2025 alone. When markets get flooded with solutions that solve nothing, Darwin always wins.
@CoinMarketCap@CoinMarketCap The ECB's 2027 timeline puts them behind countries like China and Nigeria with live CBDCs, but ahead of the UK which hasn't committed to retail digital currency. Europe's cautious approach prioritizes privacy and regulatory compliance over speed.
@morningad@morningad The pub has always been Britain's unofficial boardroom. What's fascinating is how relaxed environments lower inhibition around creative risk-taking - same reason Silicon Valley runs on coffee shops.
