How the tech actually works. This gig demands play.
Think it can be heavily tied into the game theory concept, there's a natural defence mechanism against aggression we've adopted due to the nature of the beast.
I believe it's what we are truly challenging here and now. And evidently have been for a long time.
Yeah it's sadly hidden behind a complete narrative here (and elsewhere of course) that strays into a "gambling" problem.
I studied last year Independant Chip Model mechanics in Poker (particularly MTT's) and to many, Poker and Slots/Roulette may as well be the same "fools" game. Especially to our older generation.
I believe it's also OK to not take a stance either way, it's humble to acknowledge various perspectives (not opinions) without having to choose a side. Giving ourselves a moment to digest and muse, and additionally, allowing the other party to reflect on another perspective without prejudice of being told that are wrong/incorrect or invalid.
Few things straight away come to mind:
- Concepts of currency/money (we we're taught "business" - live in the UK)
- Game Theory.
- Information and Data (Parent/Child etc).
Some of my favourite teachers would spend whole lessons telling fantastic stories and meandering off the curriculum pathway.
Heard good things about Swan, had some issues setting up an account for some reason, looked like an ideal platform to introduce some relatives/friends to the world of cryptocurrency.
Someone may be able to better explain from a coding point of view, but for example, BRC20/Ordinals and Recursion etc was highlighting the human fuckery of coding languages compared to what's achievable with less using JavaScript.
https://threejs.org/ for example.
(apologies if I'm not explaining the best, pretty new to things, down the rabbithole...)
I hear you, I see it frequently with traders who amass quickly to then lose it even quicker.
In my instance, I spent a lot of time with this friend of mine (myself with a few 100 at a time, himself towards 700k), they made it sound easy and a cake walk. Alas, liquidations galore and a shrug of the shoulders as their reaction was all that happened. Rough.
Hope your now enjoying some reward for that hard work!
As a non-coder myself but IT literate nontheless, how do you see Python's future in light of the .js developments of late?
Funny enough, currently been battling a seemingly ChatGPT-ran customer service of BitGet to pay me my due rewards for a competition I placed for payout in many many months ago.
14 attempts (approx) to be repeatedly told by them my account was ineligible due to location restrictions (my account somehow was set up as Latin America despite KYC'd to UK and thus eligible).
Felt foolish to think they (and possibly CEX's generally) had better intentions than the usual dinosaur corpo we we're used to. We learn.
Thank you for the reply!
Agreed, it's the "itchy fingers" that can be the road to ruin (guess this is where the hard work mentality/ethic of building becomes the destination, rather than taking it out on your poor stack)
I can relate my friend. Usually I post things that would be the same as a "blank stare" in real life, with some awareness after that I'm maybe poking a bit too early. People get there in their own time.
Discovered a new found friend in the space who wrote some fantastic thought provoking blogs on DeFI, AI, and money/state that I love to share with people:
To be honest, I love reading anything that proposes a perspective and a deep thought that's strives to be anything other than an "opinion"
This would be really great, i'd imagine it would be a colossal mess on Zuck's part if this was to be the case.
I can't stop thinking of the South Park episodes with Zuckerberg...
