TradFi Markets
47 sats \ 13 comments \ @grayruby 10 May 2023 bitcoin
The Bitcoin rabbit hole is endless and it seems the farther I tunnel down it the more displaced I become from the stock and bond markets, which seem completely corrupted and disinteresting. I still hold a shrinking, but non insignificant portion of my net worth in tradfi markets but I rarely pay attention to them anymore. I am not a trader so I don't really need to care but I was the guy watching CNBC for hours on end (when not working) just a few years ago. I am still quite interested in macro but what happens with the S&P or Apple earnings, snore. Wondering if other bitcoiner's interest in traditional markets has changed?

I completely skipped tradfi. I had no experience with financial markets before I bought bitcoin so the volatility never bothered me much. I had nothing to compare it with, lol.
Only when I started to read and watch more about tradfi, I realized that a 5% drop in a day already seems to be serious incident and people are happy with 3% p.a.

More less I just like grabbing the popcorn and watching bank stocks go to zero

Tradfi is a scam. Why do you waste your precious time with scams?

In the past, I invested a lot in the stock market. Today, I don't have a penny left in this market and I don't care about it. Bitcoin managed to make me sleep soundly every day, something that never happened when I invested in legacy.

@k00b any way we can get an autotip feature for respondents to polls. For example. I put up 1000 sats to initiate poll, and set some kind of paramater, first 20 responses get 50 sats or something like that?

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t work as well as you think. It would make your poll results less trustworthy - people would spin up fake accounts just to get 50 sats (it happens with invite links all the time).

Invite links are faucets and when they're shared indiscriminately, they get drained. A handful of folks have shared them in public chat groups or on twitter and 5-10% end up being legit people and the rest go to somebody draining them with disposable email addresses.

Ahh, I see. Didn't think of publicly posting invite links with sats attached. Guess that was too obvious for me, haha

Exactly if you've practiced thinking adversarially its pretty obvious, but most people don't think that way (at least in a tech context).

Honestly, I am not sure if I would not be the one draining the sats, haha

lol yeah the best adversarial thinkers are borderline adversaries themselves. A friend from college was into infosec and always scheming.

That's fair. I guess it would have to be more complex than I am thinking.
