yep, that just about covers all possible options

@molly0xfff Well the price could not change at all. Small joke about volatility...

[scottwilson@infosec.exchange]

@molly0xfff Oof, that's some hard-hitting insight from the CCB...

@molly0xfff Issuing such zero-value 'analysis' and financial 'predictions' still lead to really nice salaries. Same with weather forecasters.

Great work if you can get it.

@Shibanarchiste @molly0xfff my high school band director once observed: "there is a 100% chance of weather tomorrow"

(We were distracted with the looming possibility of snow in the forecast)

there’s sure going to be egg on his face when bitcoin reaches a price of 5𝑖

@molly0xfff That's why he's the governor. Should have heard what the other guys said.

@molly0xfff I used to write a sports column and when I offered analysis like that — on purpose, to say I had no idea what was going to happen — I'd always follow it up with "you can't get this kind of analysis just anywhere."

@molly0xfff I'm surprised no one is looking at when the price is -100

@molly0xfff price of bitcoin will "probably not be zero sharp" says overconfident mathematician

[phronetic@hachyderm.io]

@molly0xfff that's some real complex economics

[curtmack@floss.social]

@molly0xfff Reminds me of a certain US company whose commercials made the phrase "up to 15% or more" into a meme.

[ryan@m29.us]

@molly0xfff Reminds me of the Geico advertising "You could save up to 15% or more by switching to Geico", which presents the following possibilities:

- You do save less than 15%
- You do save over 15%
- You don't save anything

There is no way you can save exactly 15% by switching to Geico.

@molly0xfff my chances to win the lottery are 50:50

either i win or i loose

[pmb00cs@mastodon.online]

@molly0xfff if bitcoin reaches a price of 5i I'm going to be very upset I didn't invest. Any real value price and I'm just not fussed.

[bcasiello@floss.social]

@molly0xfff Come for the news, stay for the math nerdery in the replies!

[disser@hachyderm.io]

@molly0xfff I mean the value is _already_ imaginary…

[litchralee@noc.social]

@molly0xfff This is precisely the math + cryptocurrency joke I needed to start my Wednesday morning!

[flipper@mastodonapp.uk]

@molly0xfff the genius of it

[gregsnyc@mastodon.social]

@ckape @molly0xfff there is an imaginary component to all currencies.
