Dude used the word "d*generate" about 20 seconds in. Really tired of casual Nazism.

I didn't watch the video but the term is frequently used in gambling circles. It indicates to me they're a common chud gambler rather than a comitted fascist, hut also :same-picture: and all that so whatever.

My credit swapped securities on risk managed bundles of cryptocoin futures are the perfect hedge against the volatility of the real world.

No one should have to know what all those words mean. Capitalism is beyond absurd at this point.

Marx didn't consider high-risk investments? Pretty sure he did.

It's not really the risk, so much as the sheer level of abstraction going on. Although I suppose when you look at it from the right angle, this is kinda like futures trading on steroids, about all kinds of possible conceptual things, not just future material goods or economic conditions, so not as new and outrageous as some folks think.

If we showed people in 1942 a system that let you bet on the outcome or specific points of the Great Patriotic War, they'd be utterly disgusted. Yet this crap is so normalized today that betting on war seems only mildly not okay.

Oh, I think there'll still be games of chance and casual betting between people on all sorts of silly things, you just won't be able to ruin your life at a casino or bookies' shop anymore.

The concepts are interesting but applied by a total moron.
You're not "predicting" anything, there are no "data points", and the probability of these events is not set by the people who bet on them.
They are composition of speculations, bought and sold over the internet. It's no different to futures trading, like at all. Well, beyond the fact Polymarket etc. are much better examples of how absolutely fictitious it all is.
What is Polymarket but onion trading where the onions are the speculative odds on Charlie Kirk's political career?

Yeah, I suppose that all this really is is futures trading on steroids, laid bare for how ridiculous and insane it truly is.
I suppose it really is bog standard fictitious capital. Marx was right again, but when is he not?

We are reaching levels of fictitious capital even Marx couldn't predict.

You can bet on the war now too.
