Vitalik Buterin Calls Out Prediction Markets: Crypto Traders Are Gambling, Not Hedging 🧐

On some cyber-throne, Buterin shares his thoughts via Farcaster, launching a volley of criticism. Prediction markets, he asserts, are as useful for hedgers as a bucket with no bottom.

No wonder they attract only gamblers and the mathematically ambitious-hedging here is as effective as wearing a raincoat in the Sahara.

Looks like the crypto bubble met its popcorn-fueled expiration date.

Ripple’s Secret Plan EXPOSED! 😱

Now, this leak wasn’t just about moving money about, oh no. It mentioned these ghastly things called ‘biometric identity systems’ – meaning they want to know exactly who you are when you buy a biscuit! The document, so they say, outlines devising a network with compliance, digital IDs, and ‘tokenized assets’ – whatever those are. And tucked right in the middle?
