Some great points here and def worth a read Tbh the industry needs to do a better job at developing talent, and it starts with supporting student orgs like @GatorBlockchain and the hyper driven leaders behind them No, I don't mean webinars or merch. I mean in person workshops, onboarding sessions, boot camps and other forms of real commitment. Think @Dorm_DAO If you're looking to grow your ecosystem or team, why not reach out to Benjamin and help him shape the vision he has for Gator Blockchain? I'm sure the dividends would be fruitful

Crypto has a real issue that is not commonly discussed: There is a stigma against crypto within college kids and the younger generations. As a sophomore in college myself, I have seen this firsthand. A thread on how @GatorBlockchain is reigniting interest in the space 🧵

On profitability within prediction markets: Prediction market profitability is not just making the correct predictions - it’s simultaneously beating the “risk-free” yield (i.e treasury bills, lending stablecoins in Aave, something of the sort). 1. A trader buys 1000 NO shares of Vivek Ramaswamy in the 2024 Presidential Election on June 5th, 2024. The shares acquired have a cost-basis of $980. At the time, treasury bills are yielding 6%. 2. 5 months later the presidential election finalizes and Vivek does not win. 3. The trader redeems his 1000 NO shares for $1000, netting him a 2% return, annualized yield of 4.8%. This is under the 6% annualized yield he would have received from treasury bills. If a position’s ‘best-case’ yields < “risk-free” rate, that trader should not have taken the position. This is only the case in a non-composable prediction system. In a composable system, where shares of prediction markets are tokenized, there are alternate reasons, such as advanced derivatives, for taking a position besides yielding a return > “risk-free” rate. Let’s examine the example above with Vivek, but this time the trader used perpetual swaps. 1. A perpetual swaps platform is built on top of a composable prediction system. 2. The trader uses the same $980 to purchase NO shares on Vivek at 2x leverage, acquiring 2000 shares. 3. he election finalizes and Vivek does not win. 4. The trader closes his position for a 4% return (9.6% annualized yield), beating the return he would have received from the “risk-free” rate. This assumes Vivek’s odds of losing did not fall enough to liquidate the trader. The more composable a share is, the more value said share holds, indirectly creating accurate probability through inducing capital efficiency.
