Happy Bermuda Shorts Day, Web 3 Style!

  Back in 1960 when Alan Arthur penned "April 1st Bermuda Shorts Day" on a campus announcement board, he started a new tradition. This simple act ignited a tradition, marking the final day of the winter semester with a festive celebration. Over time, it evolved into a cherished annual event, bringing the campus community together in joyous camaraderie. But what about all the others who can not join the party on the campus?

Short Trading: A comprehensive analysis of the controversial strategy and an in-depth analysis of how investors make money from market declines

Short trading is a strategy in which investors make money by taking advantage of predictions that a stock or other asset is expected to fall.

Suppose that you are a restaurant selling sandwiches, and you ordinarily sell sandwiches for $7.50. Why did

[Mirror] A Proof of Stake Design Philosophy

Vitalik Buterin via the Vitalik Buterin Blog This is a mirror of the post at https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin/a-proof-of-stake-design-philosophy-506585978d51 Systems like Ethereum (and Bitcoin, and NXT, and Bitshares, etc) are a fundamentally new class of cryptoeconomic organisms — decentralized, jurisdictionless entities that exist entirely in cyberspace, maintained by a combination of cryptography, economics and social consensus.
