@polymarket's astronomical success is the most important story in crypto right now, but it's so obvious that we are ignoring it, when we should be screaming it from the rooftops. Prediction markets are the purest technological manifestation of liberal democracy. They take free markets and free speech as inputs and output truth. In an age when centralized control of information is a systemic risk, prediction markets offer a way of cutting through misleading narratives and viewing the unvarnished truth. It is monumental for crypto that Polymarket is being consistently cited by mainstream media for election probabilities. The seamlessness with which this happened speaks to its product market fit. No one talks about the fact that Polymarket is built on crypto because the product is so good. If you are a supporter of crypto, the next time you find yourself in a discussion about politics, refer your friends to Polymarket.

This inframe experience was very well designed and the gold standard of all the ones I’ve used so far: - didn’t have to look at the buttons to make each selection - super fast transitions between each frame - made a very complex process feel simple! - wishlist: support other wallets Great job @shayne and team!

$100M+ in total bets on elections! That's insane. Polymarket hasn't even touched the consumer market yet. What happens when it does? Do the math!

Prediction markets have resonated with me since I started in crypto 12 yrs ago. It was initially bc I was a degen & wanted quick cash. Now I’m using prediction markets daily not to bet but as an info consumer to better understand the world. Augur, Veil & others failed. Polymarket now working. How can we accelerate?

liquidity - polymarket has orders of magnitude more = better price discovery. predictit has $850 caps so no serious player has incentive to correct their market fees - extractive fee schedule on predictit distorts pricing, including a high withdrawal fee, which further diminishes the opportunity for arbitrage

My "very conservative, bet on boring-but-likely outcomes" polymarket politics portfolio seems to be doing well! Particularly proud of the TW election arbitrage I discovered ($155 becomes $160 no matter who wins)
