@aeyakovenko Smoking is taxed incredibly highly, which goes to pay for the healthcare costs. Arguably they are taxed more than the fair value as they die younger, so typically subside healthcare for those making healthier choices.

Feels a bit like we've reached peak despair on the timeline. Right as a ton of new apps are being funded and built and truly scaleable chains are about to launch. Whilst it would be easy to give up now, I do think those that stick around now will do very well later this year.

As projects give more transparency around airdrops with points campaigns it’s only natural that the yield from these will converge with the fair, risk adjusted market rate. I’m not sure users can expect the days of 3,000% APY anymore for using a new LST for 3 months. 5-10%
