The discussions and threads with substance happen during the bear market.
That's when the big brains get their ducks in a row.

Once the bull gets moving, newfags pour in and chaos ensues.
But the gems pierce rise to the top on the rising tide of dogshit.

Nice thread DECOration. People are missing the implications of the GME pump.

It's all caused by opaque manipulative shorting of a traditional stock at a point where technology has advanced to allow retail traders a foot in the door. The effects of this, and future events like it, will make the traditional markets seem obsolete and vulnerable. In the background defi is gaining traction, and is introducing synthetic assets.

Synthetic assets allow the stock market to function on the blockchain. They, and smart contracts, will change everything, but they are way ahead of their time at the moment.

Take the current wsb/gme scenario. The stock is over shorted, but the longs need to buy and hold as a group to extract maximum gain. As the price goes up there is more incentive for individuals to sell for their own gain at the expense of those holding - they sell out the group moonshot so they can have their smaller personal payout. It's a big game of chicken that relies on group trust, sooner or later it will break down.

With smart contracts and synthetic assets large group could lock in the group moonshot. Imagine discovering an over-shorted stock like GME that was available as a token. You could build a smart contract that was solely designed for a user to deposit token into, lock it for a specified time, then return it to the depositor's address. Alternatively set the release conditions to be hold it until a certain price threshold was met OR a determined length of time.

The group would be able to use the contract and effect the squeeze knowing they didn't need to trust (or collude) with anyone else to extract the maximum gain.

That's just a basic example but if it becomes that easy it will make such shorting obsolete. There are probably 100 more cases where a trustless, open, smart contract can be used to disrupt or improve upon an existing mechanism. All done without any collusion - it's just a contract. It'll change everything, and it'll all be powered by LINK.
