About ASTER: Humans VS Traders Checked out the rules—ASTER gave 100 traders $10,000 each. Losses are covered by ASTER, profits go to the traders. If you're good at math, maybe you can analyze whether hedging is a positive EV strategy. Intuitively, it doesn’t seem like it, but I haven’t calculated it in detail. Before raising doubts or conspiracy theories, you can verify it yourself—it won’t take much time. Everyone has different risk preferences. I know someone with an A9-level fortune who would still hustle for 50 bucks (if it only takes a minute). They’d even check for coupons to save a few bucks on meals. But I also know people who’d earn $1 million and buy a $500,000 car, or blow $3 million entirely on women. Back in the day, everyone in crypto was broke, but as the capital scale grew, volatility increased. With higher volatility came higher spending, and once spending rises, people start feeling like a bit of fluctuation doesn’t matter anymore. This can easily lead to mismatches between cognition/wealth and trading behavior. Liangzi’s suggestion to join midway is super creative. @Aster_DEX Haven’t opened ASTER for a few days, but since this event is so popular, maybe it’s time to consider launching Binance Life perpetual contracts to give traders even more opportunities to shine!
