You could ban stock market trading but the market itself is a very useful vehicle for investment and has democratized wealth and retirement planning to some extent.
How to ban trading? You could heavily addon tax profits from short term trading under 3 months at 90% say, tapering to zero as time increases maybe 2 years. With zero ability to offset any losses with other tax forms.
Shorts, options et. included unless it can be proven as part of a bigger trade or insurance but then apply to bigger trade.
This could also apply to market makers making that closer to a public service.
I suggest an adjusted value taking burn into account. E.g. you use 20% or whatever of the value. Theory: it ain't 0 if you plant a tree and it is not the whole tree. There has to be a % that represents on average the effectiveness of the plant over 200 years say.
Needs a coefficient of burn, so instead of 1kg maybe you count it as 200g to allow for burning and and then next replant which allocates to someone else.
Ah I was wondering how a certain chinese site I came across did this and it could be this.
That site offers substantial free tokens, is often reported as being flaky and their affiliate links are popping up on different social medias but look sketchy as anything.
I'd rather discuss first principles than use ad populum arguments.
Going back to Jira (you may be right about Oracle but I doubt it) they are well position to ride the AI wave and do well. I gave reasons and details in my last comment. It is easy to slap on "AI pilled" baseball cap and use the same talking points. I'd love to hear specific arguments about why Jira is not well placed and I happy to change my mind (coffee mug extended out).
Zoom out. Look at 5 yr chart then look at April 2025 could say the same thing.
Also when shorting you are betting against the machine of capitalism. It's like very rare and abnormal for today to be a GFC or Enron sort of day rather than a business as usual. You need a lot of skill to short a top 50 comompany. Anyway good luck.
You develop a taste as to what details you can skim and what you need to dive on. We are all trained on this due to doing 10000 wax on wax off movements, called a "PR Review". I used to scrutinize. Now I think "yep that bit looks good and tests will catch errors plus I can manually test. This bit over here looks scary will spend time more deeply understanding".
With AI you don't need to understand every line in depth but it does need good judgement to decide which.
I never met anyone who likes Oracle ($331bn mkt cap), SAP (€187bn) or Salesforce ($134bn) either.
However as businesses they sell, they know how to sell and know what they customers need. They need a lot of compliance and IT maturity for sure.
Enterprise (and even SME) customers don't want to fuck around with Claude and use hero shadow IT. They want to buy shit like Jira because it turns out cheaper than DIY even with AI. They know it will be HIPAA and SOC2 and most other things they desire like that.
AI does kill the tail end but Atlassian was always practically free to the kind of person who can replace it with a vibe coded weekend project (try it! sign up for a Jira!).
While you are there, you can go and set up myriad AI workflows, build a forge (plugin) app using AI in studio then set up Rovo AI automations. Yes it is very AI native now.
Some day you can type "make the next Google" into AI and it will do the paperclip thing. Until then... SaaS is not dead. I repeat SaaS is not dead. Not dying. Disrupted yes. Not dead.
