the @polymarket post-election chart will be one to watch. trump-harris has generated $1.4b in trade volume so far. polymarket's september monthly volume stands at $530m, with october's first week already exceeding $400m. curious to see if and how this activity carries over to other markets (politics, sports, business, etc). with polymarket’s Q4 ’23 monthly average volume at $6.5m, even a 87% drop would still result in ≈10x yoy quarterly baseline growth 💪. volume distribution chart: @blockworksres polymarket volumes: @theblock

witnessing @polymarket grow into a platform that helps retail monetize expert knowledge across fields where it wasn't possible before. suddenly, people spending hundreds or thousands of hours building an edge in random areas can start to make money: - maybe you are a movie geek and can make educated guesses on which movie will gross highest; - if you follow politics closely, you might have a strong opinion on who the next party leader will be; - perhaps your passion is climate and you will be able to predict the number of hurricanes based on historical data and current conditions; - if you watch a few games of soccer each week, you might have an informed take on who'll win ballon d'or; soon enough, we'll probably see tons of new markets created for an ever-increasing variety of things.

the most annoying part about trading memes is all the time and effort it takes to find the right ticker, verify the contract and choose a dex. for muggles, it's a near-impossible task. @usemoonshot does a great job abstracting it all away. perhaps this cycle, the top signal will not be coinbase, but @usemoonshot topping app store charts. cc - @murad

'in the coming economy of networked intelligence, perhaps economic flows are much less b -> b -> c and much more user -> agent -> compute network -> agent -> user. agentic protocols are the end result. applications or service businesses with limited overhead which run primarily using on-chain resources meeting end user (or each other’s) demands in composable networks with much lower costs than traditional enterprises.' src: https://members.delphidigital.io/feed/deai-compressed?utm_source=link&utm_medium=portal, @delphi-digital

'imagine a set of computer programs, interacting with one another acting as digital engineers. controlled by a product manager - an open source gpt. this manager tells them what code to write. they iteratively test the code, using compute resources they buy from crypto protocols such as ionet. they store their output using storage protocols such as filecoin or arweave. then sell the outputs to either other protocols or people.' https://goodalexander.com/posts/agentic-protocols/

running out of gas while requiring a micro-cent worth of eth for the next tx is (was?) probably the worst part about transacting on @ethereum. excited to learn that rabby cover gas to get the next tx over the line. ethereum becoming fun again 🌞.
