openfinance
A nonpartisan, blockchain-agnostic venue for updates, research, & debates on the Open Finance.
This is neither a DeFi nor a Degen channel.
Though not dismissive thereof, lt can be thought of a technical, theoretical & philosophical salon.

The sellf-acknowledging “builder” calling the mis-termed “retail” “normies” is a technical dilemma in that the latter asks for structured financial instruments that the former can comprehend only the after the normie performs virtuosity thereof out in the public, transparently on the “onchain” order books only to slop together random chatbots that ostracize the alleged builder into a chase after not so liquid public good funding or research grants. Microstructure of the market is an artful cathedral niché, repent.

someone i knew who thought i didn't know them sent me 20K sUSD 5 years ago.
i thought it was an inadvertent contract feck-up on the Synthetix side and secured the amount behind a garden of puzzles.
in an hour, i received concurrent DMs. i had to cut in the gas which was about 600 USD per a few txns needed.
i returned it. that return was a news when a weirdo publicly accused me of trying to hack them because a token of good will was interpreted wrongly and in fact i liked that weirdo and we just didn't agree on a few matters and they were kind of right in that i acted in an anarcho-capitalist fashion which I thought everyone would deem OK as a gesture.
Anyways, a few friends and that King who accidentally sent me 20K defended me like it was 13.
I mean you can all accidentally send me yield bearing stables, it's oke.

I really do not buy the arguments against HFT eating up potentials in other fields by asymmetrically incentivizing physicists.
HFT alone helps markets that themselves. Markets alongside help us cope [sic] with complex systems that determine the trajectory and "availability" of our species' existence.
[[HFT]] is also a "tool" to make markets aggregate and route liquidity effectively, and the technological solutions around it allow experiments in many areas such as co-location, and photonics to name a few. We also now have decentralized, or distributed, enterprises around it that co-evolve with the current demand for compute, trade finance tokenization (faster transfer and settlement of value), and all of which also "obliges" perfectly decentralized network infrastructures such as [[Ethereum]] to fund better research for [[economies of scale]] if we are to help science and markets.

Tiny Chinese stocks and crypto shares a lot and I am not alluding to "shitcoins".

not joking. you pay 0.88 eth, i fund my solo enterprise for the next 2 months—building a text-based game making use of DeFi APIs in real time—and you just own FID2282, and if i make enough revenue, and you'd be willing, i'll just buy it with 20% interest from you.

If you guys have anything stuck in the "ancient" Zora versions. There are some wETH and rich media works of considerable numbers there, and i didn't realize i had 26 .txt files in the auction house, the builders are friends, so it's my duty.

Paradigm and Stripe act well and in good faith. Majority of demagoguery around Tempo is uninformed cope.
You really don't need to detest them to not like the way operate.
After all, FLOSS is FREE.
