In the past few days, I've seen social mining, fan tokens, and that set of "attention is mining" talk again. Basically, it's just selling your time to others and getting a bit self-indulgent... When I think of options, it's more intuitive: the buyer spends money to buy time, and the time value decreases every day, which is the buyer's patience eroding; the seller collects a premium, essentially a "time tax," and as long as nothing big happens, they can slowly earn. But don't forget, when real volatility hits, the seller's losses come in jumps, while the buyer at most goes to zero and sleeps more soundly. Anyway, with my safety obsession, I'd rather earn a little less than be the one constantly picking up nickels and eventually getting hit by a car. That's all for now.
