#Bitcoin - The whole market is up and #crypto has a high beta. This makes #crypto a very risky asset. When everyone else gets rich, you get even richer. And when markets crash, you are even worse off - just when you may need money most, chart @AllisonSchrager https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-11-12/trump-win-doesn-t-completely-explain-the-bitcoin-bubble

Corporate monopolies get rich, and we pay the tab. Keep the receipts.

“According to #Barsalou (2008), #GroundedCognition refers to the belief that simulations within specific sensory systems, bodily states, and situated action mediate all cognitive processing.”
“Running a successful open source project is just Good Will Hunting in reverse, where you start out as a respected genius and end up being a janitor who gets into fights.”
