(Thanks @Theodore Boydston !)
How about a link to the shop?
Lol...I blame the Bruichladdich...
https://shop.realvision.com
That said I still don’t see a link anywhere.Hmmm...I‘m not sure my insights are worth a coffee mug. My prior employer usually disallowed accepting prizes...and those prizes were from vendors being paid millions. Even if I did win, I cannot show the prize off as it would reside in home office. Showing off is the point, right?
Maybe 15 minutes with a Real Vision celebrity? I also like the idea of tokens or fractional tokens in Real Vision per @Matthew Lansing
Other prize ideas:
In other words, leverage partners to help you and the winner.
A fun one might be a bottle of a Real Vison celebrity’s favorite liquor....yeah, I know....legal
Hi @Theodore Boydston this is just the first iteration of the Influence Rewards Program, so open to ideas for expanding as we go along!
"Hmmm...I‘m not sure my insights are worth a coffee mug. My prior employer usually disallowed accepting prizes." @Theodore Boydston this still makes me laugh =) idk why but it's very dry and sarcastic sounding via text. Lol thank you for the smiles haha =) (no sarcasm here)
Can someone whip up an RV coin and chain that you can get and spend only here,, or something similar.. the more knowledge, articles charts etc contributed, or perhaps an original thesis on anything (doesn't necessarily need to be rocket surgery lol) would be entry into this big chain of information. As long as the knowledge base grows and people are rewarded with more information, it would be a network effect style Bloomberg, done on a blockchain so it stayed with the people on RV but remained welcoming for those contributing, low grade membership /governance token (right?) The more info the exchange member contributes the better, and it is already baked into the exchange. It can be tokenized =)
@Matthew Lansing thanks, and yes... we know lol. As i always say (and willl keep saying) - the Exchange is never “done” and it most def isn’t even in the first inning being 2 quarters in. That goes for anything including new feature roll outs. Which btw aren’t random independent things we just do, everything is a 4D chronological puzzle piece component for part of a broader structure and direction. Badges, contributor points, the Discourse individuals - but if were still not able to post trade ideas in the format (or post trade ideas period - another early feature rollout), then were prob not at currency issuance for proactive engagement monetization network effect growth via positive perpetual self feedback loop stages yet. And a few months ago when I said the Exchange will be the Bloomberg terminal of the individual investor, in retrospect that was a low bar to set with only 325k users on BBG - that will be buried, even with having a 30 year monopoly $24k/person/year price gouging level of head start. baby steps my friend
I apologize, it was meant to just be a light hearted reply. Again, my apologies =)
No need to apologize! perhaps my tone didnt come across so if anything apologies from me. What I’m trying to say is: a) your ideas are solid, and b) they’re right in line with our thinking. But converting ideas → execution & reality (while juggling other developments) is a process with many many unseen chronological factors at play. So I’m just letting you know there’s a big picture strategy underway. Let’s keep up the enthusiasm in the meantime �
10 4 =) I try to throw out whatever I can in the hopes someone will take it and run, I always forget if I don't lol!. So many things to do, never enough hours - I also tend to ramble.. lol.
@Farrell Murphy Why not offer the same $ amount in BTC??
Idk id this is a real question but- because it would be economically stupid to hand out $1 bills that subsequently turn into $10 bills...? The reason for not doing it is the same reason you want it
@Matt Daniell @Jeremiah S @Moritz Heiden I’m loving this / am so amused with this thread, because throughout the development process of this feature (by real people), Ive already been way ahead of everything you guys are talking about in my own sick knee jerk trading minded head haha. but i had no one to appreciate my clever little jokes about trading OTC “off Exchange” (not because of lack of trading junkies but because I’m only funny to myself - which has always been my audience�)
can we (all 4 of us clowns) please just let the underlying market exist and develop for more than like.. 90 mins before we go full financialization of points futures options and 4x levered inverse ETFs of it??😂😂�����
I’m also as you prob assumed already personally non eligible - but I’ve racked up so many points, this is the offshore Eurodollar market to deal and distort supply
so if anyone gets sanctioned, come see me - off Exchange
And just FYI- while us idiots sit here and talk about CFDs and binaries and Dec’23 RVIP var swaps, the real brains and power here lies with @Farrell Murphy and not because she is the living breathing infrastructure of this entire network but because her financial engineering wizardry is an order of magnitude above all of us. How many of you were trying to structure CDS on student loans when you were in your teens? (She really did that lol). So.. if I were you (and since I’m also in this group with you, I guess I am me), the day she comes out and says “ok we’re now making markets on RV Influence Points - who wants to trade size??” I would put down the ISDA and slowly back away- house will always always always win at our expense
That's central bank level of influence here @Farrell Murphy @Weston Nakamura!
Exchange printer go brrr :)
Ha.
I was thinking of a quantum-"like" token to side-step that little problem. I'll send an SOS to Satoshi to bring in the reinforcements. We will HODL - wait on, what's even in the RV shop?
hahah @Weston Nakamura is a monopoly that needs to be broken up with all those points. We definitely need some kind of instrument that has actual utility on the exchange that we can trade and leverage based on market events.
Sorry- already at Too Big To Fail (& Too Big To Jail) status. You need to get up to speed- currently at lobbying & bribery stage
haha I appreciate the shout out @Weston Nakamura
Great idea!
Lets create a derivative on their incentive and say whichever one of us gets a credit first, the other owes them a $10 credit ;) @Moritz Heiden ? We need some leverage in the game! lol
Yeah - lets $GME the Exchange.
Dude yes! How can we create a derivative where we all start betting on stuff. Like we exchange the points we have lol. line the notional value ends up being worth more than real vision as a company
Hmm. Yes - I like how you are thinking.
I did have a long-version of this but lost it (again - yes there is a glitch in the matrix literally) - so here is the Twitter version.
We can have a secondary market using binary options - the condition (strike) could be will a post get a thumbs up after 3 mins (expiry). Then it could be like a ladder, where the number of thumbs up could be further out of the money. The delta could be proportional to a posters credit score - or should it be related to the content of the post.... ? Hmm. Market making hat on now.
As there could be a credit market as well - you might lend out your reputation to post on someone's behalf and get paid for your services. Or will that tarnish your reputation....?
We need some exponential growth - hmm.
Then there is Gary - we can't forget about him. He will be a tricky one. Might have to monitor the DM or the off-exchange comm channels...
Then we can have a side market where we tokenise our credits to open up the crypto vista. We need to dogecoin things a bit - maybe find a mascot.
We are doing a bit of freestyle tweaking to your Exchange Weston. Hope that's ok...
But - we need a bit more leverage - binaries are capped, and the leverage comes into it from the fractional yes/no rather than the size of the bet. I'll put the thinking cap on and get serious about this.
This gets better and better @Matt Daniell
I think the Exchangemakers like @Jeremiah S are the perfect choice as market makers offering free leverage on that but with wild spreads.
💎 🤚 to the moon 🚀 🚀 🚀
Yes - they would have to offer the credit/leverage in the form of likes/influence points. So I could lever up an APAC post of mine to see if I get a return on investment. Spreads could be related to the time of day posting - US seems to have higher liquidity, early Australian open low liquidity (so bad for me!).
I would have to develop an API to post my posts while I am sleeping... !
This new Exchange derivatives OTC market is getting to be a full time job.
To the moon!
We will drown in „What would @Raoul Pal do“ T shirts!
Me thinks the "Honk for BTC " exchange Bot merch should be available aswell! I Need this as a bumbersticker asap!
We have a spreadshirt shop but I would gladly provide the images to @Real Vision for distribution of merch. At least that way the spread goes where it belongs (I’m not taking any cut on the spreadshirt shop items currently)
hahaha yes!!!!! RV to the Moon! lol
@Matt Daniell we cannot forget about Gary!
@Milton The Curator can we create a shirt or exchange account for Gary? Something to distinguish him and his prevalent role in the market.
Oh yes!
