Shorting #BTC? In 2007 & 2020, volatility was low (in spite of signs of Covid); easy to make a bundle when options are low or, conversely, risk premia (yield differentials) are tiny. But #BTC has ~100% vol & MicroTragedy's puts trade @ >200%. A Crash is priced in! But tricks.

If you're working on nuclear energy, a double thank you for pioneering the lowest carbon power sources ever while suffering the wrath of the willfully misinformed, usually astroturf-funded by the oil companies. We need your work more than ever. Again, thank you.

Big jet of fire in the Caspian Sea off Azerbaijan at ~9:30pm local time on the 4th of July. First official reports say its a big offshore mud volcano eruption. This may be the Makarov Bank mud volcano, which did exactly this in 1958. Let's start a quick evolving thread! https://t.co/a38xdBGvPz

13/ So when people in the late 1700s said that they were 'worried about the side effects of medicines', that was actually a very reasonable stance to take. And when one Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, M.D, made a 'gentler' alternative called Homoeopathy, it understandably became popular.

We can't. The only other sufficient source of CO2 would be tens of thousands of redirected comets. A task far beyond us. And if this where to ever become within humanity's grasp, perhaps a journey to an earth-like exoplanet would be a better use of resources. https://t.co/zoO2tabFel
