It's now clear to all but a few lunatics that memecoins are done Prediction markets have taken their place in the heart of degens, just like memecoins took NFT's Yet every time you point this out, a demented memecoin fanatic screeches out in reply : "But brother ! I have seen people make x1000 in a day on memecoins, Prediction Markets are child's play ! " And yes : - he's probably talking about a fake screenshot he saw on his timeline - It was made on the back of a 99.6% loss rate retail audience that has since deserted the market But no matter how unhygienic and mentally ill he is. He still has some sort of a point. Facts are, although extremely rare, these things do happen and there is a certain kind of degen audience that lives only for it. So how do we reach them ? 1) Problem The upside on a single market is fundamentally capped, in theory at 1000x, in reality, at much less. The cheapest you can buy a share on Polymarket is in theory $0.001 (0.1c), if they go to the max of $1 then it's a 1000x But even now you will have an extremely hard time finding a counter party that wants to buy the opposite side at $0.999. When trading fees are introduced it will make even less sense for traders to buy shares at $0.999 since fees will eat all their profit So introducing even smaller denominations wont increase the multiple potential 2) Solution Derivatives. We need Derivatives. But we can't have perps on single markets with capped upside and an expiry date ( They are called Perpetuals for a reason) That's why we created Perpetual Prediction Vaults at @ZEITFinance, you invest not in a market but in a fund that constantly reinvest the proceeds in new markets. The vault can be operated : - By a good trader - According to predetermined strategy - By a bot or statistical model It doesn't really matter. What matters most is that we have transformed the single market outcome into a continuous price series. Now we can tokenize it. Which means we can plug it in all the existing DeFi eco, including perps. This way : > there is no limit to how much you can make. > the memecoin schizo can shut up > the degen can chase his 10000x As you see we worked very hard to kill the memecoin reply schizo and every minute of it was worth it

@tsybka @Polymarket @PolymarketTrade Agreed, sportsball is the wrong direction in which to take prediction markets. We already have sportsbook, this is just a regulatory arbitrage play, meanwhile politics markets are where the true innovation is

Record rewards on sports markets are certainly great, but as an old-timer on the platform and a fan of geopolitical markets, I’d like to see increased rewards specifically in this area. Especially now, as it’s attracting more and more outside attention, driving record trading volumes and bringing new traders onto the platform.

Logical arbitrage is a great way to print on Polymarket, while competition is still low Usually arbitrage in finance is reserved for very sophisticated actors. That's because relations between assets are very simple - $ETH is at $2000 on Binance - $ETH is at $2001 on Bybit It's obvious even to the most retarded observe that if you could buy 1 ETH on Binance and sell it immediately on Bybit you would make $1 free profit. Since asset identity is so straightforward, everyone and his mother got the same idea. All of sudden you need your own private fiber optic cable to the exchange to have a chance to beat the million other guys to it On Polymarket, rules are more nebulous, two assets can be logically connected, without it being immediately obvious This require judgment, and as of now has not been properly automated. Which leaves a chance for small time traders to exploit them Let imagine the following markets. Market 1: Will the US strike Iran this year? YES: 40¢ NO: 60¢ Total = $1 ✓ Market 2: Will there be a US invasion of Iran this year? YES: 35¢ NO: 70¢ Total = $1 ✓ Both markets are perfectly balanced but they’re not independent. If the US invades Iran, that almost certainly implies us strikes on Iran. The combination “US invades Iran but do not strike them” doesn’t really exist. in other words market 2 is a subset of market 1 so if the price of market 1 ever dips below the price of market 2, that's an arbitrage opportunity And one that is not so straightforward to exploit automatically. While big players haven't yet devised a method to automatize logical arbitrage, there will still be a lot of low hanging fruits there for retail traders

@LoveYouAllNFT They won;t give you $1M for free, these rewards calculators are pure copium. Idk what point system they use internally but it won't be linear, they will soft cap whales because the point of an airdrop is to distribute the token widely

It’s speculated that this could be a $POLY airdrop announcement. I started farming volume less than two months ago, and I already have seven figures. This is one of the biggest events that will happen in crypto. Lives will change. Millionaires are going to be made. And this could be you. Do not miss out.

@lunatik_corp @tsybka @PolymarketTrade low APY in theory but if we get a ceasfire in Iran i think the odds will go down fast. They are overvalued because a lot of people expect china to "take the opportunity"

Traders have priced in a significant 27% probability for “China to invade Taiwan by December 31, 2027.” Additionally, the market offers an “Earn 4%” rule, which increases annual yield on purchased shares. According to U.S. intelligence data, China does not plan to invade Taiwan in 2027, instead favoring non-military approaches in this direction. It seems like a safe investment, doesn’t it?

@MartinShkreli It's sad seeing sports get all the spotlight, even from Polymarket. They are by far the less interesting and innovative application of prediction markets. It's an easy cash cow because of volume but it's short sighted for Polymarket to invest so much into it

@GreekGamblerPM brother this is a no brainer at this point. If you only had your Polymarket account that would be one thing but you also have revenue through X. Do it

GreekGamblerPM #150to50k challenge
Today is one of the worst days of my life. Over the past few days, as you may have noticed, I have barely been posting and yesterday I posted nothing. The reason is that lately my 9 to 5 job as a Software Engineer has gone from being really chill to extremely stressful. There are many tight deadlines, some drama at work and my PRs keep getting rejected. Today was so busy that I even forgot to eat and I was on calls for almost 8 hours straight. On top of that, today I lost $1,500 on a bet in a mention market that I made without doing much research and I ended up being wrong. I don't know. I've been making, through Polymarket and my X, around 8x my full time salary. Every day I think, what if I just completely quit the safety of my job and go all in on prediction markets and my X? Almost daily, I miss so many opportunities to make money on Polymarket because I'm not fully locked in and I'm trying to do too many things at once. Also, when I come back from work, many times I just want to chill and not get on my PC again for some time and then the day just passes. Now everyone will be like, then why don't you just quit your job, since you make a lot more trading? There are some reasons that I can't really say publicly that make this decision really difficult for me to take the risk, but at this point I may just have to do it. Anyway, sorry for this long post. I'm kind of mentally unstable at the moment in the sense that I don't know what to do with my life right now. I will probably delete this later today. I was just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and how it went.

Research by ZEIT over 600M data points shows that small moves in the market, more often than not, revert to the mean > 70% of -+1c excursion revert to the mean rather than making another move in the same direction (figure ) So taking the opposite side of every small price move would statistically yield returns We tested this exact strategy, both on historical data and in a live environment and it was shown both time to yield positive returns (figure 2) We wouldn't share that information if we wanted to keep the strategy to ourselves. Instead, we are going to deploy it to one of our algorithmic vaults so the public will be able to invest in it I'll keep you informed as soon as it's out, stay tuned

@yri911 The will eventually TGE I think just to not expose themselves to litigation but it will be in another 18 months for a token with no utility just to say that they did it

We will never see OpenSea TGE Empty words mean nothing. That’s why I backed my thesis with my own money. I rotated my profits from the $1B and $2B markets into this position. So when could TGE theoretically happen? > Q1 is canceled. The 60-day zero-fee trading period will end by summer > Summer is historically a weak period for crypto. Even if the market doesn’t keep dropping, it will likely move sideways rather than make new highs, as there are no signs of a V-shaped recovery > That means, even in the most optimistic scenario, TGE won’t happen before September Over these six months, interest in NFTs in general and OpenSea in particular will decline even further, pushing my position into profit regardless of overall market conditions. If Opensea doesn't launch a token by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No".

Lost at SEA. Again Yesterday, Opensea postponed its TGE indefinitely and proved they are one of the most greedy and dumb teams in crypto. By a lucky coincidence, a team of untrainable retards found themselves at the origin of an incredible NFT hype, and because of that, this group of scammers became ultra-wealthy. > They’ve generated $2.8B in fees over the lifetime of the protocol. > Raised $425M in funding. > And still it’s not enough. The CEO now says the market conditions are not right for a token launch and that they should wait for better times. And generously, they “allow” users to get their fees refunded in 3–6 waves. What about the first wave, which had volumes equal to all the others combined? Rhetorical question. After already making nearly $3B from some of the highest fees in crypto history, they decided to farm their users even more by teasing a token. Over the past year, this “farming” brought them another ~$10M - not even 1% of their total revenue. Was it really worth it? They could have launched the token in late 2022 – early 2023. NFT hype was fading, but monthly fees were still around $10M, and project FDVs were in the billions. SEA could have easily reached $5B+ FDV. They missed the moment. They could have launched in late 2024, when even Donald Trump was launching memecoins and altcoin valuations were near cycle highs. They got rekt again. Finally, they could have launched in late 2025 - BTC and ETH were at highs, liquidity was still in the market. Even then, a $2–3B FDV was realistic. Third missed opportunity. Meanwhile, interest in NFTs has been declining for 4 straight years - and that trend will never end. Even the last major NFT marketplace, Magic Eden, is cutting staff, shutting down divisions, and its token is down 98% from TGE, now valued at just ~$120M. Even today, they could probably launch at around $500M FDV. But for Opensea, that’s not enough - they blame the market. The reality is simpler: it’s not the market - it’s that both you and NFTs are no longer in demand. And the longer they delay the TGE, the lower the token price will go. Even if the market has bottomed and BTC goes above $100K, it won’t happen tonight or next week. NFT interest will keep fading, and SEA valuation will keep shrinking. And what if the market keeps bleeding for another 6 months? What if we revisit these levels in a year or more? Will Opensea even be worth $200M by then? I highly doubt it. If you farmed the airdrop - take the refund. Don’t listen to anyone telling you to wait for TGE. And unfollow them - they will lead you to getting wiped out. Opensea TGE will NEVER happen. p.s. Polymarket gives 78% that we will see TGE this year. Safe bet on No at 22c lol
