For anyone who didn't understand:

is underwriting a put option on bitcoin with a strike price of 1M USD with an expiry of 15th June at a price of $26600.
This is the most -EV trade ever witnessed, topping even do kwon vs algod.
I will take that bet.
You buy 1 BTC.
I will send $1M USD.
This is ~40:1 odds as 1 BTC is worth ~$26k.
The term is 90 days.
All we need is a mutually agreed custodian who will still be there to settle this in the event of digital dollar devaluation.

Elrond is undoubtedly one of the most hard working teams in this space. I was running a lot of nodes on Elrond during the new year and when everyone was celebrating, they were working their asses off to make the network better.
Great achievements, Beniamin!!
This is what 1% better/daily looks like on the technical side. Apparently it’s a small step to aim for, but in time, it adds to a mountain of difference between Elrond and any other blockchain architecture.
