What's the point holding USD? It's not an investment vehicle.

Is savers getting infinitely rich any better? It is a lost case for BTCbulls buddy

And bitcoin can be copied as well

That constrained supply is actually the biggest problem, to hold the value stable supply should be actively managed.

I like your analogy, but remember no one made money on the internet base layer protocols either. So not an investment case for bitcoin.

I do not trade at the moment (used to be a simple stocks trader), but currently am reading up on options. My current understanding is (nothing new for you I am sure, unless I am wrong), that 1) delta one/outright strategies are a subset of option strategies, where the market is modeled as a...

Some Apple laptops are fanless. Also Lenovo Thinkpads (and there might be others) are designed to have low noise levels. But indeed, there might be solutions without buying a new computer. Start with opening the Windows task manager (ctrl-alt-del), order processes on CPU and/or GPU and see if...

Strategy question: Do you mostly make your money from harvesting excess volatility risk premium, or are you just good in estimating direction/path? (and thus would have similar results if hypothetical excess vol risk premium didn't exist)

I believe ideally you are a physicist before you read quant books for physicists. Also, learning the necessary math seems to come easier to me that way.

Can't say it's a relaxing read, nor exciting. But it has to be done if you want to become a serious quant.

Great post that clarifies a lot. Just a question about the terminology: What do you mean by second (third) order risk?

Why it's "essential"? Will we die otherwise?

All biting the hands that heavily subsidize them.

So you want more, but you are not really motivated for it. Sounds kinda ridiculous to me. If you are not motivated, and you don't have to, then don't do it! Do things because you think they make you happy (and obviously making more money is not it, otherwise you would be motivated), not do...

the value of crypto was that it could be used as a currency that's the only thing I have heard that has some merit in this regard. If it were used as such, people might want to keep a portion of it in their wallet ready to spend. Such as a checking account or cash. All those portions together is...

Nothing can defy gravity forever. The law of gravity in this context is that something that doesn't pay you anything in the future, isn't worth anything in the present. You could claim the same for fiat currencies such as USD, but that is not even true. I can't put it in a savings account and...

Are you sure it's worth it? Even if you have the fastest service of them all, they will not filter the news for relevance, you will get a lot of noise (like 99%). But maybe it could be a plan if you build some useful filter algo for yourself.

Justifying your own career failures by badmouthing others?

Good luck!

I agree with that, you can make python run lightning fast with numpy and other libraries (numba)
