  • People would trade stocks with each other in between those hour intervals. It’d become another after hours trading. It might cut down on the change rate though since it’d make high frequency trading more annoying and cumbersome.

    But slowing the refresh rate of trading I think would also make it take longer for stocks to settle after a shock. I think the limited trading windows is one of the things driving Bitcoins volatility? Increasing the time between when something happens and when the effect is felt would decrease the damping on the system.

    Edit: sorry I missed the eli5, this is not a super simple answer












  • Not really, the feedback cycle is that as a third party gains traction, the party most similar will lose support till the other party will dominate. This still continues till the third party quits or takes over and the previous pary stops.

    This leads to Republicans sponsoring third parties more similar to Democrats and Democrats sponsoring parties more similar to Republicans.

    The only way to get out of this cycle is to implement some other sort of voting, ranked choice for example. I’m all for that, but until then, voting third party will only hurt the ideology closest party.
