Theomics 🧱

I just fell in love with the options section on @tradingview, which is currently in beta. Here’s what you can find ⬇️

3/ Result: there’s a pricing difference between futures and forwards. In this case, futures are more attractive for shorts, while forwards are more attractive for longs.

2/ These gains are settled daily through mark-to-market and can be reinvested right away at a high return. When you lose, it’s usually when rates are low, so the cost of your losses is smaller.

Why forwards and futures don’t always have the same price ⬇️

Three challenges of investing in emerging markets: ✔️ Political & regulatory instability ✔️ Currency volatility & exchange rate risks ✔️ Unreliable information & weak governance

The cryptocurrency market is evolving quickly, but one essential question remains: how can you store your assets while minimizing the various risks related to their safekeeping?

Do you invest in emerging markets? Whether in stocks or real estate, which ones catch your attention and why?

Three sectors that should directly benefit from population aging: ✔️ Healthcare & biotechnology ✔️ Senior housing & specialized real estate ✔️ Insurance & retirement savings

Financial engineering lets us create custom instruments (swaps, complex options) to hedge or speculate, optimize tax strategies for investments, and crisis-proof portfolios through stress tests and dynamic hedging. It's where creativity meets math and risk management.

The biggest gains often come when the market seems the most uncertain. The key? A clear strategy, strict risk management, and the discipline to stick to it. Allocating a budget that doesn’t stress you out might just be the secret to making better decisions.

In times of crisis, investors dump off-the-run bonds and shift to more liquid on-the-run bonds. This flight to liquidity pushes off-the-run prices down and their yields up. The spread between the two widens significantly.

Advantages of weather derivatives vs. insurance: ✅ Fast payouts, no claims process ✅ No disputes over loss assessment ✅ Flexible contracts (size, duration, thresholds) ✅ Coverage even for non-catastrophic events

Oil and some commodities tend to be mean-reverting. When prices spike, supply eventually ramps up, and when prices crash, producers cut back. Over time, these fundamental adjustments pull prices back toward equilibrium, creating ideas for traders to capture alpha from the cycle.

For those of you who hold between 15 and 20 different tokens in your wallet, how do you manage that many cryptocurrencies at once?

Some people know how forward rates are actually modeled from raw on-chain data?

@Ethan_Heilman @0xLalice @cryptoquick Great thank you

@0xTheomics @0xLalice @cryptoquick See thread here x.com/isabelfoxenduk…

In your opinion, what could put an end to the growth of cryptocurrencies and consign them to oblivion forever?

@0xLalice @Ethan_Heilman @cryptoquick Interesting, thank you :)

@0xTheomics It's not discarded by bitcoiners though, for example BIP360 from @Ethan_Heilman and @cryptoquick is a proposition to address the Q inexorable future issue : bip360.org/bip360.html (it's only a BIP, so it's not anywhere near to be integrated in Bitcoin but it exists)

@0xLalice Yes it's the biggest risk i think

@0xTheomics a quantum computing breakthrough, fueled by AI research (thus, unforeseen), would devastate BTC and most cryptos. but q-resistant cryptos (and most importantly: q-resistant BTC) are already a thing, so it would not be "forever" doomed still, it would be a cataclysmic event

SPVs help democratize investing by providing simplified access to private deals that were once limited to a select group of investors.

@0xMarmiton Haha exactly
