i really don't get how "the truckers are just poor working class people who were manipulated by evil racists" isn't regarded a fascistoid statement. it essentially says that the truckers (and other protesters) are dumb cattle. either you believe in the agency of every single human or you don't. then we can skip the democracy shenanigans at large. at least be honest.
see, if there are thousands of people are willing to protest something, they usually have weighted the risk. individual people there think the mandates are worse for them than standing there.
there may be dangerous nut-jobs among them, but to extrapolate from individuals to groups is wrong. they aren't demanding some minority to be rounded up (fun fact: that is what the "protesters are literal nazis!11" side is asking for :). they are demanding that questionable mandates are lifted. this is true for every single protest going on in the world right now.
@zpartacoos @freemo would rather be Joe than glasses
@NBS are the Greeks worth studying if one trades BTC spot?
if the derivatives markets there are thinly traded it seems all you'd have to go is TA, which is perhaps why it seems to work better in crypto - no option but to draw lines
I have always been fascinated by macro reasoning though, particularly in commodities where there's less "branding" involved
@NBS I'm curious how one trades without TA - you must use time-dependent metrics to decide when to pull the trigger, especially with markets so detached from reality...
is it all Contango, Greeks and Volatility or am I missing some part of the picture?
@11112011 stop I'm almost grudgingly respecting the grift
