@jack boom! Nice!

predicted NO

@egroj We're still waiting for clawback decisions on Mana purchased with illegitimately earned funds, HODL for all of us with NO

predicted NO

Still $500 short, with only a few hours remaining. It could definitely still resolve no!

There's M$1500 free profit here for a generous individual!

predicted YES

wow I always forget how short February is

predicted YES

Why's there such a sudden drop in probably? The current total is less than 1400 USD from a 100k. Just because the charity program will continue... Is it less likely that people will contribute to it if they were planning to anyway?

predicted NO

@firstuserhere Wouldn't it be? You can always either donate your mana or try to invest it to win more mana. If your goal is to give as much as possible to charity, you'd probably want to invest quite a bit of it to earn a return rather than just giving it all to charity right away. If the charity option is about to permanently disappear, then you'd conversely want to donate everything you've got on hand right now.

@akrasiac well the same dilemma occurs at a later point in time as well. If your goal is to give as much as possible to charity, you'd want to increase your mana even more at some time t' > t. This is similar to the balance that has to be struck in altruist community as well. Do i start donating now, even if less amounts, than compound it and donate more later? In either case, a point comes where you decide to donate, even if you could increase and donate more... Later.

predicted NO

@firstuserhere Agreed, there is a balance. But if you cannot donate at all after March 1st, that's going to shift the balance in favor of donating now.

predicted NO

It was just announced that Stripe reversed their decision and the charitable donation program will continue: https://manifoldmarkets.notion.site/Charity-program-ending-March-1st-ac5da2d66e9d4306a917e3dd653b9cea

not sure why this dipped to 90 - are people selling their positions to donate mana?
