To Manufacturers of Knitted Goods

On the Effect of Taxes and of Legal Restrictions upon Manufactures

On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures by Charles Babbage is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . On the Cost of Each Separate Process in a Manufacture here Chapter 21. On the Cost of Each Separate Process in a Manufacture The great competition introduced by machinery, and the application of the principle of the subdivision of labour, render it necessary for each producer to be continually on the watch, to discover improved methods by which the cost of the article he manufactures may be reduced; and, with this view, it is of great importance to know the precise expense of every process, as well as of the wear and tear of machinery which is due to it. The same information is desirable for those by whom the manufactured goods are distributed and sold; because it enables them to give reasonable answers or explanations to the objections of enquirers, and also affords them a better chance of suggesting to the manufacturer changes in the fashion of his goods, which may be suitable either to the tastes or to the finances of his customers. To the statesman such knowledge is still more important; for without it he must trust entirely to others, and can form no judgement worthy of confidence, of the effect any tax may produce, or of the injury the manufacturer or the country may suffer by its imposition. One of the first advantages which suggests itself as likely to arise from a correct analysis of the expense of the several processes of any manufacture, is the indication which it would furnish of the course in which improvement should be directed. If a method could be contrived of diminishing by one fourth the time required for fixing on the heads of pins, the expense of making them would be reduced about thirteen per cent; whilst a reduction of one half the time employed in spinning the coil of wire out of which the heads are cut, would scarcely make any sensible difference in the cost of manufacturing of the whole article. It is therefore obvious, that the attention would be much more advantageously directed to shortening the former than the latter process. The expense of manufacturing, in a country where machinery is of the rudest kind, and manual labour is very cheap, is curiously exhibited in the price of cotton cloth in the island of Java. The cotton, in the seed, is sold by the picul, which is a weight of about 133 lbs. Not above one fourth or one fifth of this weight, however, is cotton: the natives, by means of rude wooden rollers, can only separate about 1 1/4 lb. of cotton from the seed by one day's labour. A picul of cleansed cotton, therefore, is worth between four and five times the cost of the impure article; and the prices of the same substance, in its different stages of manufacture, are—for one picul: Dollars Cotton in the seed 2 to 3
Clean cotton 10 to 11
Cotton thread 24
Cotton thread dyed blue 35
Good ordinary cotton cloth 50 Thus it appears that the expense of spinning in Java is 117 per cent on the value of the raw material; the expense of dying thread blue is 45 per cent on its value; and that of weaving cotton thread into cloth 117 per cent on its value. The expense of spinning cotton into a fine thread is, in England, about 33 per cent. (1*) As an example of the cost of the different processes of a manufacture, perhaps an analytical statement of the expense of the volume now in the reader's hands may not be uninteresting; more especially as it will afford an insight into the nature and extent of the taxes upon literature. It is found economical to print it upon paper of a very large size, so that although thirty-two pages, instead of sixteen, are really contained in each sheet, this work is still called octavo. L s. d. To printer, for composing (per sheet of 32 pages) L3 1s. 10 1/2 sheets 32 0 6 [This relates to the ordinary size of the type used in the volume.] To printer for composing small type, as in extracts and 2 0 3

Total expense in sheets 266 1 0 Cost of a single copy in sheets; 3052 being printed, including the overplus 0 1 9 Extra boarding 0 0 6 Cost of each copy, boarded(2*) 0 2 3 This analysis requires some explanation. The printer usually charges for composition by the sheet, supposing the type to be all of one kind; and as this charge is regulated by the size of the letter, on which the quantity in a sheet depends, little dispute can arise after the price is agreed upon. If there are but few extracts, or other parts of the work, which require to be printed in smaller type; or if there are many notes, or several passages in Greek, or in other languages, requiring a different type, these are considered in the original contract, and a small additional price per sheet allowed. If there is a large portion of small type, it is better to have a specific additional charge for it per sheet. If any work with irregular lines and many figures, and what the printers call rules, occurs, it is called table work, and is charged at an advanced price per sheet. Examples of this are frequent in the present volume. If the page consists entirely of figures, as in mathematical tables, which require very careful correction, the charge for composition is usually doubled. A few years ago I printed a table of logarithms, on a large-sized page, which required great additional labour and care from the readers,(3*) in rendering the proofs correct, and for which, although new punches were not required, several new types were prepared, and for which stereotype plates were cast, costing about L2 per sheet. In this case L11 per sheet were charged, although ordinary composition, with the same sized letter, in demy octavo, could have been executed at thirty-eight shillings per sheet: but as the expense was ascertained before commencing the work, it gave rise to no difficulties. The charge for corrections and alterations is one which, from the difficulty of measuring them, gives rise to the greatest inconvenience, and is as disagreeable to the publisher (if he be the agent between the author and the printer), and to the master printer or his foreman, as it is to the author himself. If the author study economy, he should make the whole of his corrections in the manuscript, and should copy it out fairly: it will then be printed correctly, and he will have little to pay for corrections. But it is scarcely possible to judge of the effect of any passage correctly, without having it set up in type; and there are few subjects, upon which an author does not find he can add some details or explanation, when he sees his views in print. If, therefore, he wish to save his own labour in transcribing, and to give the last polish to the language, he must be content to accomplish these objects at an increased expense. If the printer possess a sufficient stock of type, it will contribute still more to the convenience of the author to have his whole work put up in what are technically called slips,(4*) and then to make all the corrections, and to have as few revises as he can. The present work was set up in slips, but the corrections have been unusually large, and the revises frequent. The press work, or printing off, is charged at a price agreed upon for each two hundred and fifty sheets; and any broken number is still considered as two hundred and fifty. When a large edition is required, the price for two hundred and fifty is reduced; thus, in the present volume, two hundred and fifty copies, if printed alone, would have been charged eleven shillings per sheet, instead of 5s. 10d., the actual charge. The principle of this mode of charging is good, as it obviates all disputes; but it is to be regretted that the custom of charging the same price for any small number as for two hundred and fifty, is so pertinaciously adhered to, that the workmen will not agree to any other terms when only twenty or thirty copies are required, or even when only three or four are wanted for the sake of some experiment. Perhaps if all numbers above fifty were charged as two hundred and fifty, and all below as for half two hundred and fifty, both parties would derive an advantage. The effect of the excise duty is to render the paper thin, in order that it may weigh little; but this is counteracted by the desire of the author to make his book look as thick as possible, in order that he may charge the public as much as he decently can; and so on that ground alone the duty is of no importance. There is, however, another effect of this duty, which both the public and the author feel; for they pay, not merely the duty which is charged, but also the profit on that duty, which the paper-maker requires for the use of additional capital; and also the profit to the publisher and bookseller on the increased price of the volume. The estimated charge for advertisements is, in the present case, about the usual allowance for such a volume; and, as it is considered that advertisements in newspapers are the most effectual, where the smallest pays a duty of 3s. 6d., nearly one half of the charge of advertising is a tax. It appears then, that, to an expenditure of L224 necessary to produce the present volume, L42 are added in the shape of a direct tax. Whether the profits arising from such a mode of manufacturing will justify such a rate of taxation, can only be estimated when the returns from the volume are considered, a subject that will be discussed in a subsequent chapter.(5*) It is at present sufficient to observe, that the tax on advertisements is an impolitic tax when contrasted with that upon paper, and on other materials employed. The object of all advertisements is, by making known articles for sale, to procure for them a better price, if the sale is to be by auction; or a larger extent of sale if by retail dealers. Now the more any article is known, the more quickly it is discovered whether it contributes to the comfort or advantage of the public; and the more quickly its consumption is assured if it be found valuable. It would appear, then, that every tax on communicating information respecting articles which are the subjects of taxation in another shape, is one which must reduce the amount that would have been raised, had no impediment been placed in the way of making known to the public their qualities and their price. NOTES: These facts are taken from Crawford's Indian Archipelago. These charges refer to the edition prepared for the public, and do not relate to the large paper copies in the hands of some of the author's friends. Readers are persons employed to correct the press at the printing office. Slips are long pieces of paper on which sufficient matter is printed to form, when divided, from two to four pages of text.

On the Cost of Each Separate Process in a Manufacture

On the Division of Labour

Reflections on the Decline of Science in England, and on Some of Its Causes by Charles Babbage, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . Section 5 here SECTION 5. OF THE UNION OF SEVERAL OFFICES IN ONE PERSON. Although the number of situations to which persons conversant with science may hope to be appointed, is small, yet it has somewhat singularly happened, that instances of one individual, holding more than one such appointment, are frequent. Not to speak of those held by the late Dr. Young, we have at present:— MR. POND—Astronomer Royal, Inspector of Chronometers, and Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac. CAPTAIN SABINE—An officer of artillery on leave of absence from his regiment; Secretary of the Royal Society; and Scientific Adviser of the Admiralty. MR. BRANDE—Clerk of the Irons at the Royal Mint; Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution; Analyser of Rough Nitre, &c. to the East-India Company; Lecturer on Materia Medica, Apothecaries' Hall; Superintending Chemical Operator at ditto; Lecturer on Chemistry at ditto; Editor of the Royal Institution Journal; and Foreign Secretary to the Royal Society. One should be led to imagine, from these unions of scientific offices, either that science is too little paid, and that gentlemen cannot be found to execute the offices separately at the salaries offered; or else, that it is too well paid, since each requires such little attention, that almost any number can be executed by one person. The Director of the Royal Observatory has a larger and better collection of instruments, and more assistants to superintend, than any other astronomer in the world; and, to do it properly, would require the almost undivided attention of a man in the vigour of youth. Nor would a superintendent of the Nautical Almanac, if he made a point of being acquainted with every thing connected with his subject, find his situation at all a sinecure. Slight as are the duties of the Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society, it might have been supposed that Mr. Brande would scarcely, amongst his multifarious avocations, have found time even for them. But it may be a consolation to him to know, that from the progress the Society is making, those duties must become shortly, if they are not already, almost extinct. Doubtless the President, in making that appointment, looked most anxiously over the list of the Royal Society. He doubtless knew that the Academics of Sweden, of Denmark, of Scotland, of Prussia, of Hanover, and of France, derived honour from the discoveries of their Secretaries;—that they prided themselves in the names of Berzelius, of Oersted, of Brewster, of Encke, of Gauss, and of Cuvier. Doubtless the President must have been ambitious that England should contribute to this galaxy of glory, that the Royal Society should restore the lost Pleiad [Pleiades, an assemblage of seven stars in the neck of the constellation Taurus. There are now only six of them visible to the naked eye.—HUTTON'S DICTIONARY—Art. Pleiades.] to the admiring science of Europe. But he could discover no kindred name amongst the ranks of his supporters, and forgot, for a moment, the interest of the Society, in an amiable consideration for the feelings of his surrounding friends. For had the President chosen a brighter star, the lustre of his other officers might have been overpowered by its splendour: but relieved from the pain of such a contrast, he may still retain the hope, that, by their united brightness, these suns of his little system shall yet afford sufficient light to be together visible to distant nations, as a faint NEBULA in the obscure horizon of English science.

The 17 Essential Tools You Need to Boost Your Productivity 🚀🔥

A recent survey revealed that only of music producers negatively regard tools for production. However, 39% believe they could lead to less originality. As AI begins permeating every corner of the planet, artists have to grapple with the idea that AI is also seeping into the music industry. 17% artificial intelligence (AI) In fact, every day, there’s a new AI fad in the . Never in our wildest dreams did we think Rihanna could collaborate with reggaeton artist Bad Bunny, and yet, someone used their likeness to AI-generate the song The creator is the same one behind the creepily accurate Drake and The Weeknd collaboration, “Heart On My Sleeve,” who has since taken all the generated content down from their music platforms and social media. music space “Por Qué.” Those who got the chance to listen to both songs when they came out will agree that it felt like listening to these artists speaking in (the gibberish coming from The Sims world). You couldn’t make out any of the words, but the voice was undeniably theirs. Of course, the artists’ record labels jumped on the matter straight away and even got platforms like to remove the content and ban AI—although the streaming service has this decision ever since. Simlish Spotify walked back Situations like these clearly call for regulations that stop producers from using artists’ likenesses in their songs, but this isn’t all AI is being used for. Like in many other industries, AI tools can help artists brainstorm and draw inspiration to improve the creative process and even streamline aspects like mastering. So, while we’ve seen how AI affects big artists and their record labels, we must also focus on how smaller independent creators are impacted by this technology. The good news is, when used correctly, AI can become an indie artist’s right hand by making costly processes more accessible and affordable. Likewise, it can enhance their creativity in the studio and quicken the pace of creation. Let’s dive into how impact indie artists and how a lack of regulations can also affect them. AI tools Technology Can Uplift the Creation Process Technological advancements haven’t always been embraced in the music industry. When they first appear, many are deemed as lazy or a turn in the wrong direction. For example, Kraftwerk’s early electronic sound by critics when it first appeared. The German band boldly stated that electronic music was the next step for pop music, and today, we can confirm they were right. wasn’t well received AI tools are headed down the same road as electronic music. Those who disagree assert that the human touch in art is —and this is totally true. However, AI tools aren’t here to fully replace us; instead, they will assist us in enhancing our creative approaches and elevating music quality. And eventually, they will become a commonplace item in the studio. irreplaceable Ditto Music reported that of musicians already use AI for production and songwriting, among other tasks. This doesn’t mean they’re letting technology do all the work. Rather, they use it as an idea source that nurtures their ingenuity. For independent artists who don’t usually have big teams to bounce ideas off, AI is the perfect companion for brainstorming. 60% Just like Cher reinvented her career after using auto-tune on her acclaimed dance hit “Believe,” AI tools can push artists to become more innovative and break the mold to captivate new audiences. One example of a tool allowing indie artists to explore new sounds is OpenAI’s . The platform generates songs with a wide variety of instruments and styles, but you can only listen to them, as it doesn’t let users generate and download proprietary songs just yet. Much like the company’s more popular counterpart, ChatGPT, MuseNet feeds from a large database of MIDI files and predicts the next sequence of sounds to create 4-minute songs. MuseNet Another tool musicians can use to draw inspiration from is . The program was the first text-to-music generator that supported artists in creating MIDI compositions and sound effects. It has a free version that allows for a limited number of prompts, like eight generated tracks per project and five prompts every eight hours. WavTool Tools That Streamline Production Duties Mixing and mastering one song can cost , depending on where you get it done. Both are essential in music-making, as mixing ensures all instruments in a song are balanced, and mastering improves the overall sound quality of a song. $50 to $1500 An indie musician releasing a 10-track album might have to pay at least $500 for these vital finishing touches. Not everyone has this money lying around, let alone an unsigned artist doing their best to get noticed by a record label or thrive on their own. Ditto Music’s report also showed that 30% of musicians use AI to mix and master their tracks. This is no surprise, as AI tools have become highly reliable and affordable, with some starting for as low as $29 and up to $99 monthly. These programs also offer speedier mixing and mastering at professional grade in far less time. One such program is , a complete suite for compressing, equalizing, and applying eight other plugins to refine a tune’s sound with AI. Native Instruments recently integrated it, allowing users to improve tracks based on specific genre and style suggestions. iZotope Neutron 4 Additionally, is an instant mixing and mastering assistant that includes advanced vocal processing and other finetuning features—for those who prefer a faster pace without sacrificing quality. Cryo Mix Governance and Regulations Nirvana’s bassist, Krist Novoselic, that it’s a good idea to use AI to finish unreleased tracks with Kurt Cobain’s voice, just like are doing. This use of likeness plays on the nostalgic side of music, giving fans and artists alike one last shot at listening to beloved legends who are no longer with us. recently told NME The Beatles In a perfect world, musicians’ voices are used in a positive light. However, recent events like Drake’s AI song show that creators don’t always employ likeness fairly. Moreover, current laws don’t protect artists’ voices, so record labels and estates can’t copyright them to prevent misuse and illegal profit. Indie artists could even be more prone to likeness theft since producers can take advantage of their lack of popularity and use their talent without facing major legal retaliation. Unlike popular musicians, independent artists don’t have the means and support to fight these infringements. But while giants like Universal are fighting the good fight for their music stars, who’s advocating for indie artists’ rights? is one of the latest efforts from several organizations, including the Recording Academy, the National Music Publishers Association, and the Recording Industry of America, looking to protect creatives from indiscriminate AI use. The Human Artistry Campaign The campaign calls for responsibly using AI without harming original creations and artistic integrity. So, these initiatives can set a positive precedent for the music industry and represent a safe haven for indie artists to make music without worrying about AI stealing their identity. Technology has helped humans evolve and achieve their full potential when used correctly. AI is just another stepping stone on this evolutionary road, pushing artists to be their most creative and productive selves—only if we ensure proper regulation and governance. So, as the music industry stands its ground to protect musicians of all sizes, AI can continue to assist their processes to take music-making to another level.

Revolutionizing the Path to Success for Independent Musicians with AI Tools

October was an excellent month for crypto markets. Bitcoin rose 29% in October, bringing returns on the original cryptocurrency to 109% for the year. Ethereum was up almost 10% for October, and the long-sleeping Solana jumped 77% for the month. Yes, up 77% in a MONTH. Whilst Bitcoin went up, we also saw some sharp drops in the $hitcoin market, including 53% drop for Wall Street Memes, 44% loss for Shiba Saga and a 29% loss for the ironically named SafeMoon. The selling of junk to buy quality made us almost feel that the crypto markets were starting to mature… and then we saw that ridiculous and useless frog-faced memecoin PEPE v2 was up 642% for the month. Remember when NFTs shot up like a rocket, then crashed 99%? Some markets do ‘ave ‘em… As market regulations get closer, we feel junk coins may sink, and there will be a flight to quality. Stay tuned to watch what happens to most altcoins when they have to become registered, audited and counted for tax, just like traditional fund managers… we predict that when regulations are finalised, 80% or more of the altcoins will disappear. If you have any memecoins, $hitcoins or jokecoins, it may be a good idea to take profits while you can.. Spoiler Alert: Regulations are incoming After many reissues and redrafts, the . The document states that firms undertaking crypto asset activities must now be authorised by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. The authorisation will include a stipulation for crypto exchanges to create detailed requirements for admission standards and mandate disclosures when listing new assets. Treasury states that DeFi will be addressed at a future date. UK Treasury has released its final proposal for crypto asset regulation If you have not been following the crypto news, or if you missed our , , , the or , then you may be unaware that many major financial institutions are applying for Bitcoin ETFs or exchange-traded funds. ETF updates here our ETF price prediction from six months ago here ETF update here $400 000 price prediction here the 300% charting forecast here In the $400 000 price prediction link above, we commented on the hypocrisy of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in the USA, and the fact that the US government was missing out on innovation (and income!) whilst other regions such as the UK, EU and Asia were much friendlier to crypto companies. The US Court of Appeals heard last month’s case between Grayscale and the SEC, and decided that the SEC was wrong and capricious when declining the BTC ETF application. The , thus laying the path for possible approval of several Bitcoin ETFs in the next 90 days. SEC has stated that they will not contest the court's decision The SEC had previously stated their “come one, come all” philosophy; if one Bitcoin ETF were to be approved, then they would approve all other complying applicants on the same day. This would mean that no institution received an unfair advantage by being able to accept funds before anyone else. Theoretically, we could see Bitcoin ETFs launched by Blackrock, Fidelity, Grayscale, ARK Invest, Wisdom Tree and half a dozen others, all on the same day. What do you think will happen when ten new storefronts open to sell a simple way into crypto, and there is a severely limited supply? (For a hint, refer to what happened when an . After having sat flat for almost thirty years, the gold price rockets up over 300%, at the exact time when the new ETF was introduced.) ETF was created to allow a simplified way for people to buy gold We cannot guarantee that the Bitcoin price will rise 300% when a slew of ETFs appear on the market, but we will say that a higher demand with a low supply generally makes prices go up. There will be other factors pushing prices up, and those who want to sell for a profit and crystallise some gains may cause prices to drop after a rise, so we could see a saw-tooth pattern with a few sharp drops on the way up. Crypto from your financial planner? If you have dealt with a financial planner (FP) or financial adviser (FA) in the last few years, you may know that some are independent, and some are bonded. For example, the planner inside Westpac could only recommend products that were branded Westpac or BT (as Westpac owned BT). The planner inside CommBank could only recommend products from CommBank or Colonial (as CBA owned Colonial). Ditto for ANZ and OnePath, NAB and MLC, and AMP and AMP. This may have seemed like a conflict of interest, as the financial planner would not necessarily recommend the “best” product for you, but just the best one that they happened to have on hand. We could compare this to any other product or service provider. If you visit the Toyota dealer, they will not recommend you buy a Ford, and the person in the Ferrari showroom will not tell you to buy a Lamborghini. For a truly independent point of view, you must visit an independent financial planner (or an independent car broker). It has been an industry standard for decades that your financial adviser would receive an upfront payment for placing your investment, as well as an ongoing payment for monitoring the investment and keeping you appraised of any changes required. This could be compared to the car dealership making a few dollars when you first buy the car, and then a few dollars every year when you have it serviced. Up until now, financial advisers, accountants and other financial professionals have not been able to charge clients for advising them on cryptocurrency, nor placing crypto investments or monitoring them. This meant an absolute dearth of financial advice around crypto: why would a professional adviser give crypto advice if they are not being paid for it? With the advent of Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum ETFs and other crypto-ETFs to follow, crypto will become a regulated financial asset. That means that your financial adviser can start charging you for crypto advice, crypto placement and crypto monitoring. And then, all of a sudden, everything changes. We shared a post on , showing that over 80% of financial advisers have had clients ask about crypto, and almost 25% of financial advisers own crypto in their own name. Still, less than 10% of advisers put their clients into crypto. LinkedIn a while back There is a possibility that the advisers do not recommend crypto to the other 70% of clients because crypto is unregulated (for now), and/or crypto has no ongoing adviser payments (for now) crypto regulations are already in place in a few countries and will swiftly arrive in all the others. Adviser payments will follow regulation as the cart follows the ox. Recommendations will be made to clients who are seeking higher-risk and higher-reward investments. Demand for crypto will increase, and with a limited supply, prices should rise dramatically. Again, we cannot promise 300% gains like when the gold ETF was issued, but we are cautiously optimistic of more double-digit returns in crypto as the ETFs roll out. But wait… The perfect storm If upcoming regulations, ETFs and crypto-planners were not going to be exciting enough for you, here’s a little more fuel for your rockets. All of these events will happen around the time of the next Bitcoin halving. We have spoken of the Bitcoin halving (or “halvening”) several times, , , , and . Without labouring the point, when something becomes twice as scarce, Economics 101 tells us it should become twice as valuable. here here here here This math is not always perfect: when Bitcoin became twice as scarce in 2012, the price rose not by 100% but over 1000%. When Bitcoin mining rewards halved again in 2016 and BTC became twice as scarce, the price did not rise by 100% but almost 3000%. The previous Bitcoin halving event in early 2020 saw not a 100% gain but a completely fantastical 1000% gain. Of course, after these massive run-ups, the BTC price did crash somewhat, but a 3000% gain followed by a 60% crash is still a net positive result (even if it feels tough on the blood pressure!) There is a slim possibility that we will see a perfectly rational market, and the Bitcoin price will react to the next halvening event by only doubling its price to match the doubling of its scarcity. However, based on past market history (histrionics?), it is more probable that the Bitcoin price will massively overshoot its target before scaling back to normality. Grab your popcorn and stay tuned. Quick updates: Do as we say, not as we do: We reported that legendary investor Warren Buffett has been making money from crypto in private, despite him insulting it in public. this year. on Facebook Buffett’s investment in crypto-friendly Nubank is up 73% exchange and will allow crypto custody services for its banking clients. Thailand’s fourth largest bank has just paid $100M for a crypto https://blockworks.co/news/thailand-bank-stake-crypto-exchange Swiss bank Sygnum offers crypto purchasing, crypto custody/storage and staking of ETH, ADA, ATOM, ICP and XTZ for its clients. https://www.sygnum.com/digital-asset-banking/staking/ Large Swiss bank SEBA is also allowing ETH staking for their customers https://forkast.news/seba-bank-ethereum-staking-services/ If your friends wonder if crypto is a fad or is here to stay, let them know that the banks are stepping in. It’s all Greek to me (or how to sound smart at parties) There is a lot of jargon in investment circles. In addition to acronyms such as ASX, NASDAQ, DJIA, PEG, NTA and fancy words for income ( ), pointy-headed investment boffins also like to use Greek words. (Maybe the lawyers used all the good Latin words?) rent, yield, dividend, premium You may have heard of , which is outperformance. If the broad market returned 10% and XYZ investment returned 12%, it has a 2% alpha. All investors want to beat the average, so they all seek alpha… but Alpha There is also , which is volatility, or ups and downs. Assume that XYZ investment returned 12% whilst the market went up 10% (2% alpha). Imagine that the broad market made 10% by going up 15% and down 5%, which is common enough. Now imagine that XYZ made its 12% by rocketing up 45% and then dropping 33%; that is a little scarier. Beta A beta of 1 is the same as the average market. A beta of 0.5 means the investment is only half as volatile as the average market, which is reassuring for those who like lower risk. A beta of 3 means that the investment has three times as much up, and three times as much down as the average market. For example, if the market goes up by 10%, XYZ could zoom up 30%. Also the reverse: if the market drops 10%, XYZ could drop 30%. Whilst investors all want additional alpha, they usually want to minimise beta. Great returns with less rollercoaster; that is the dream 😊 For those who want to get super complex, yes, there are more Greek letters in investment circles, such as (and 20+ more letters we won’t go into today). Gamma (or ‘short gamma’) in the last month. This is fancy Greek terminology for “there is not enough Bitcoin to go around”. Bitcoin has been facing a Gamma Squeeze Traders can buy or sell options contracts for an asset (e.g. Bitcoin) at any time. Whenever that happens, the entities that offer options contracts take the opposite side of the trades. This is called “gamma hedging”, and market makers do this by buying/selling the underlying asset (e.g. BTC) as prices move. Recently there has been huge demand for Bitcoin call options, as traders expect prices to rise. As prices increase, market makers need to buy more BTC to hedge and maintain their position. The result is something called a “gamma squeeze” (like a ). short squeeze BTC prices go up → so market makers need to buy BTC → which pushes BTC prices higher → forcing market makers to buy more BTC → so BTC prices go even higher → leading to big green candles. Many believe that this is part of the reason why Bitcoin saw such a big pump last week. Wall Street Analysts think it could happen again soon. According to , head of research at Galaxy Digital, said on Twitter, “if BTC moves higher than US$35 750, options dealers will need to buy $20m in BTC for every 1% upside move, which could cause explosive (price rises) if we begin to move up towards those levels.” Alex Thorne As Bitcoin is already up almost 30% for the month and over 100% for the year, any gamma squeezes that require Wall Street to buy more Bitcoin is great news for those who are already in, and good news for those who get in before regulators and financial planners open the floodgates. WARNING: with institutional inflows of funds comes institutional behaviour and institutional algorithms. This next year could be the very last of the crazy crypto gains where prices rocket up 300% to 1000% or more. The reason is that large institutions often use algorithms, formulas or artificial intelligence to trade. For example, if prices on an investment drop more than 10%, the computer can buy, driving prices back up. If prices rise by over 20%, the computer can automatically sell, driving prices back down. The reason that crypto has had crazy rises of 3000% and crazy drops of 80% is because crypto has been traded by emotional or irrational humans and not unfeeling robots. Gains and dips in the stock market are generally no more than 10-20% in a single day due largely to automated trading. When automation comes to crypto, prices may be far more stable than we have ever seen before. Gains and losses may become more in line with the stock market averages of 10-20% per year. [ ] You have now been warned. How did we go this month? Bostoncoin In addition to the gains made by BTC, ETH and SOL mentioned in the first paragraph, we have seen some nice action in the altcoins and look forward to more. XRP            up 127% Litecoin      up 125% Assemble   up 119% As at Oct 31 2023 BOS NAV    USD 46.7181896 BOS Price   USD 51.3900086 BOS NAV    AUD 67.8335743 BOS Price   AUD 74.6169318 The Bostoncoin portfolio has a 53% gain for the year, 166% gain over three years and 197% gain for the past five years. There have been some dips along the way, but consistency and persistence always pay off. DARTcoin Now that you have learned about Beta, you will know why the DARTcoin outperforms in and drags the chain in .  For those who have the patience and the intestinal fortitude, you could consider a small amount in the unhedged DARTcoin fund, noting that it is far higher risk than the more balanced and comparatively conservative Bostoncoin fund. bull markets bear markets Thorchain  up 556% Render       up 460% TRON          up 152% Fantom       up 109% As at Oct 31 2023 DART NAV AUD 94.4308824 DART Price AUD 103.873971 DART NAV USD 60.4357647 DART Price USD 66.4793412 The DARTcoin portfolio has only been around two years versus the Bostoncoin seven-year history. Year-to-date gains are 134%. We are focusing forward on what the next altcoin season will bring. Share the love and win big Please share the love by sharing this post with a friend. If you are not motivated to help your friends make great returns whilst learning more about crypto, we will not assume that you are a terrible person; no judgment. We can assume you may need to be bribed with an exclusive Bostoncoin umbrella... A quality folding brolly, the same size as a thin water bottle, the Bostoncoin umbrella will fit easily into a handbag, briefcase or backpack. Easily compared to a Davek brolly that retails at $169, the Bostoncoin umbrella will protect you from sunburn on a clear day, save you from soaked hair on a wet day and can also be used to (if you happen to be Sean Connery). destroy enemy aircraft To get your hands on the best-looking protection for your best-looking asset, be sure to share the newsletter link, add the hashtag #Bostoncoin and tag @TradingBoston on Twitter (X) or @BostonTradingInc on Facebook (META).
