It appears that 1inch's governance token is right on the horizon.

1inch is the leading Ethereum-based decentralized exchange aggregator. Since its launch, it has done $7.6 billion in volume.

Here's a thread on what we know so far. 👇

First off, some context:

1inch is a decentralized exchange aggregator that routes liquidity through a number of exchanges to find the optimal prices.

This is often useful for larger traders, who may need to spread their buys or sells across exchanges to minimize slippage.

e.g. Here is Three Arrows swapping 4,000,000 USDT for 4,001,307 TUSD via 1inch v2 around four weeks ago.

1inch does have quite a bit of traction, even though you may not hear about it sometimes.

Stats:

- $7.6b in total volume
- $272m in seven-day volume
- $36.5m in seven-day volume

h/t @DuneAnalytics for the stats

Yesterday, some sleuths spotted a contract on Ethereum pertaining to a "1inch" token.

The contract address: 0x111111111117dc0aa78b770fa6a738034120c302

Contained in the contract is this bit of ASCII art.

I received many DMs asking about my experience overseas. I wanted to share my time in Singapore, where we lived for 7 years. We moved there when my eldest was 6 months old. My second child was born in Singapore.

We were on an Employment Pass for many years before we made the decision to apply for Permanent Residency. About 4 years into our stay in Singapore, I received a letter from the government.

Letter was sent from a government unit. It was a personalised letter addressing my wife & children’s names. It talked about importance of people in Singapore’s nation building.

The letter also assigned me a relationship manager who gave me her contact details if I wanted to know about life in Singapore, assimilation & how I’d like to contribute to community or national development work

My colleagues said it was a cryptic way to encourage me to apply for PR. We were very comfortable in Singapore, it was home and we could see ourselves living there for a long time. We applied for PR.

Whoever loves his wife, loves himself!

Very early in my marriage, I remember vividly my wife complained about her phone which was not working well anymore due to battery 'ish' and distaste; so she was stylishly demanding for a new phone.

Each time the phone ‘make’ a mess, she get sad and i always feel like getting her a new phone forthwith.
I was using Q10. She was using a Techno phone but to her; it's like I should have compassion on her and give her my phone. She didn't say it but her body language did.

So I decided to surprise her with a Q10 on her birthday.
She was so glad. She threw herself on me and I felt relieved because she was happy to the 'extreme'.
I said to myself, at last I will have a rest of mind. But Little did I know that the phone will barely be for a while.

The phone was stolen the following day.
She almost fell sick, she locked herself up.
I was not happy also. It was surprising. I had to squeezed myself; denied some of my personal needs budgeted to get that phone.

That Night, I gave her my own Q10.
I searched my wardrobe for my long abandoned small Nokia Touch light tied with rubber-band as I decided to manage that till I will get another good phone.

I just re-read Bernoulli’s 1738 paper “Exposition of a New Theory on the Measurement of Risk” which is the foundational paper of Expected Utility Theory.

It’s Amazing

It’s so wildly different than EUT that its hard to believe this was its beginning.

Let’s see if you agree.

The paper isn't about utility. It’s about expected value.

Bernoulli used the utility concept to get the reader to abandon the traditional view of expected value(arithmetic average), and then used it to derive the equation for valuing risk.

The final equation doesn’t use utility

He starts out the paper identifying that tradition evaluation of risk come from expected values, which are calculated with the arithmetic average.

Notice the rule here in italics is about expected values.

Then points out that this average ignores anything about the specific financial circumstances of the participant. It’s not a risk aversion point, but that a poor person values money differently than a rich person.

Therefore the rule for determining expected values must not be correct. An item is valued by its usefulness (utility) therefore the expected value must also reflect the usefulness it yields.

This was originally Latin, so not sure of the translation, but I love the word yields.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the region
Not a creature was stirring, but Iran’s foreign legion;

The rockets they placed in the Mideast with care,
In hopes that the Quds Force
soon would be there;

The weapons were nestled
all snug in their places,
While visions of war
put grins on their faces;

In Syria the bombs burst
with a terrible clap,
While the U.N. settles in
for a long winter's nap.

The war grinds on,
Russia spreads more confusion.
More S400 sales are a foregone conclusion.

Trump from the White House tweeting “Syria withdrawal!”
America’s footprint grows increasingly small.

What Biden does next,
nobody knows.
But the fear is a deal that empowers these foes.

Then who to my wondering eyes should appear,
But Esmail Ghani
from the Republic of Fear.

It used to be Qassem,
so lively and quick.
But American drones made quick work of that prick.

Now it’s on Ghani
to continue the game.
In some ways he’s different,
but he’s more of the same.

Dear all, I've taken cognizance of all the evidence surrounding alleged Hindutva participation in the Wednesday insurrection. My conclusion? There's not much and it's not worth getting distracted from the bigger picture.

1) An Indian Christian raised an Indian flag. Yes, I think it's safe to conclude that's a sign of Indian nationalists backing Trump. There's some circumstantial evidence suggesting he's associated with Sanghis. But it's not significant.

2) A man, apparently a "Hemant Bhatt" from New Jersey, joined the rally. But there's no obvious connection between him and Hindutva. And the presence of a single individual is not significant.

3) @Voice_For_India was present. She is a Hindutva stooge. Her presence is the most significant of that of any. But there's no evidence suggesting she was there as part of a larger crowd or mobilization.

4) There was a small group of Indians present who were all pictured together. But that's it. No identification of them. No evidence they have any Hindutva links. Totally insignificant in context of the Hindutva influence in America issue.

The titbits I get fed about the debate over a hypothetical post indy monetary policy in Scotland make it seem like a lot of nonsense is being talked on the indy side.

One could say 'it is doable, with some institutional risks, to set up a new central bank and do independent inflation targeting, with credible political backing, and the reservoir of econ and cb expertise, and history of inflation targeting itself.'

However, SNP don't want to say this, as it - rightly - fears that people fear the risks of setting up a new currency. Even though IMO this is a perfectly sensible and doable option.

There's also the complication of EU membership. On the face of it, given what that would require, the trajectory would be, in this case, 1) period of independent inflation targeting, 2) ERM like period, 3) Euro membership.

Owning up to this is tricky, because there is presumably the worry that people won't want to vote indy because they are against the Euro, a feeling aggravated by the EZ crisis.

So, I am late but I need to say two or three things.
Ppl who follow me know I was against D’s resurrection plot because like this S1 and S2 were written for nothing. But Dilsha is here and I read comments about Miran being a crying baby +
#Hercai

+which is true but the problem here is that he cried too much for her loss in S1&S2, thus we are kind of fed up. But now comes my famous BUT:
This man just discovered that his dead thought mother is alive. The woman he in first place took revenge for bc she was+
#Hercai #ReyMir

+ apparently raped (lie) and killed (lie). The man who was mentally abused for 27y by his grandmother and who nearly drove him crazy. Miran lived so many moments of abandonment and loss and for what: for a big, fat overall LIE. +
#Hercai #ReyMir

+ He was never allowed to sit on his grandmothers lap, he never received a warm caress or embrace. He was emotionally and empathetically drained. So, his heart continued beating because there was the last bit of motherly love in it that survived+
#Hercai #ReyMir

+ and kept him alive although exposed to harshness, coldness and hate of Azize. It was that last bit of mother love, which later with Reyyan’s love, made him not loose his mind.

The couple of times I’ve ever gotten just a TINY bit suspicious of my husband, I ended up feeling ridiculous. The latest example:

I was scrolling who he follows on TikTok and saw an account called High Impact Club. The profile photo was of a gorgeous woman, and the location was Phoenix, which is where we live. My hackles went up a tiny bit and I clicked into her profile.

...She’s a gentle parenting coach.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

I follow her too now, of course, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE her account.

We’re in a new year and we have also entered a new phase of this pandemic. So I thought I’d start off the new year with a quick catch-up thread on the UK variant B.1.1.7 and where we are at in this pandemic.

The variant caught scientists' attention in early December based on a surge in cases around Kent and sequencing data showing it carried a host of mutations. (I wrote about this and how a quirk in the PCR is helping track it here:

CAVEAT: The pace at which we have learnt about this new variant is astonishing. But it’s important to realize that a lot of crucial lab experiments take longer. Most data now is looking at noisy epidemiological data and making inferences based on that.

Having said that: The picture is becoming clearer.
Good news first: There still is no evidence that the variant causes more severe disease or that it can reinfect people more easily or circumvent vaccine-induced immunity. Still, we need to stay vigilant.

The bad news: The evidence has only become stronger that B.1.1.7 is more transmissible and potentially a lot more transmissible than previously circulating #sarscov2. That has potentially massive consequences for the course of this pandemic.
