@Sinclair Is this still in the works?

predicted YES

Frankly I got less done this month than intended, kinda let this one slip while I was working on all the rich-text stuff.

This is still in To-do rather than Backlog. I think its important but idk if it'll get done in the next 2 days.

bought Ṁ70 of YES

fuck it, I'm gonna try my best.

predicted NO

@Sinclair

Me looking at the sprint meetings in Notion to see where this is in the task list. Bets accordingly.

@Sinclair You got thisss!!!

predicted YES

"Sinclair is a flake" is starting to look like a profitable trading strategy.

It occurs to me that I use "skin in the game bets" not as a form of motivation, nor as a way of showing social proof, but as a way of absolving me of moral responsibility of not completing features that I told users I would.

The way things normally work is "I'm going to do x [or else you'll think of me slightly less]", but I want to say "I'm going to do x [or lose mana, but not social capital]"

predicted NO

@Sinclair That is actually really fascinating!

What is similar enough? Adding liquidity is already used in this way by some.
Adding liquidity goes to market participants, tipping would go to the author. Also adding liquidity is hidden away in a menu and most people don't know about it, tipping markets should be similar to tipping comments
@jack Yup, Jack explained it well. Liquidity is not equivalent. Equivalent would be something like emotes or reddit silver/gold awards that benefited the market creator for example.
