Finished week 4 of my Blockchain class (essentially an intro to crypto) and last week we did an intro to DeFi. Last week they learned to swap and also allocated $5 usdc to both Perps and Predictions in @rainbow. So this at the beginning of class this week, we are going over their choices for Perps & Predictions. One student had bet on “cease fire by April 15” and said “it started to go up just as we are sitting here.” Another student had gone long on oil “seems to have started to really drop.” “OK class — let’s talk about insiders. What we are experiencing live is insiders signaling a cease fire. Let’s see what happens.” Sure enough, about 30-45 minutes later the announcement of a two week cease fire came out. “Check the rules on that prediction—you may want to close it just in case it requires both parties because you never know.” And stop losses started hitting on oil. Not sure I could’ve planned this better. Actually provided some live examples I couldn’t have possibly explained.
