i'd love to see a major protocol / dapp adopt a keynesian approach to growth, i.e., explicit redistribution of wealth from largest stakeholders to others who will spend the money on the ecosystem's services

was curious what the thoughts were around whether 'prediction markets' are considered gambling ... 🤓 what do you think? main difference I see is the structure of them as an intermediary, rather than theoretically 'betting against the house' where the odds are always stacked against you.

$TSLA ripping up 12% today would be dangerous, but the ability to somehow buy options on here for equities in a frame would be crazy cool.

Tit-for-tat trade war is GOAT defense for tariffs. China learned it in 2018, and now it’s running the same playbook in 2025. Once a game is played, it’s only a matter of time before it’s solved. Every country is now tit-for-tat. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-imports-us-commodities-cars-033605308.html

📈 Decline of Graphic Design Jobs in U.S. Specialized Design Services (2000–2025) Since 2000, graphic design has steadily lost both job count and share within U.S. specialized design services, a trend that accelerated after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. From 2000 to January 2025, employment in graphic design services declined by 31%, while interior design and other specialized design services grew by 70% and 115%, respectively. Over the same period, total U.S. private-sector employment expanded by 22%. As a result, graphic design’s share of specialized design services employment fell from 61% in 2000 to 36% in 2024. https://www.voronoiapp.com/work/-Decline-of-Graphic-Design-Jobs-in-US-Specialized-Design-Services-20002025-4387

Fed not particularly dovish today, but they are tapering QT (quantitative tightening) starting April 1. That seems to have been enough to send everything green.
