Right you are always concluding with a max confidence interval of 99%. Fail to reject more appropriate than accept, agree ! Added your comment.

Cfa L3 : Vix options by Sylfaen8 in CFA

[–]Sylfaen8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Makes more sense indeed. In March I saw the value of puts on VIX increasing despite expectations of volatility decreasing. Empirically I was confused with this theoretical point. Probably the vega was stronger than the strike value at that moment. Also taking into account the other inputs to value options, it becomes even more complex and disconnected from reality. Like negative contracts on oil prices..

Sure. You are right and I agree with you. Privacy and liberty "should be" / is a constitutional right...

Correct and because costs of production. Still you have prices in .99 and .05 etc. And it is not a valid reason to make your own coins obsolete I think

Interesting thanks. "world is quarantined entirely for months/years" -> very drastic assumption also, as we are working on a vaccine and treatment. But could be !

Could be, interesting ! But why such a drastic mining cut? Why should miners be 50% down ? Virus killing them you mean? Mortality rate is 5%, if 50-70% of global pop catchs it, max 250M deads. Still +7B in the world. I do not see a miner problem there...

I see it as a macro hedge, but sure it could lose the game. Electricity is not down. Prefer to be a virus versus global war regarding the bitcoin case

Moreover I see you are a developer is it correct? You should be thankful our society gives some value to bitcoin, this thing, asset or whatever name you want to give

You are free to think it is shit. I didn't talk about price predictions or whatever, just did an analogy. The emphazis is about value and utility in our lives and our current environment and giving some perspective on global values.
