@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

@molly0xfff that's some real complex economics

@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 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.

@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!

@molly0xfff the genius of it

@ryan @molly0xfff I think my favorite one is "up to 100% absorbency".

Good to know your wipes won't pick up more liquid than actually exists, I was really worried about that one for a minute

@molly0xfff considering how much he earns (more than Jerome Powell), he should be more precise

[j5v@mastodon.social]

@molly0xfff Then there's Microsoft, "This could take up to 10 minutes or more."
