CEO uses Polymarket! Pinch me
The world's catching on to how much more accurate
@PolymarketHQ
is vs. what's on your newsfeed.
Information Markets are the solution to our disinformation crisis: realigning the incentives of how news spreads such that the truth prevails.
The US dropped below 100,000 COVID-19 cases per day in February. Over the past week, the odds (on Polymarket) of exceeding that threshold again before the end of the year went from 50% to 75%.

Road to $100m a month
Polymarket just did over $62mm in volume in May! The criteria I always considered strong product market fit for crypto based prediction markets was $10mm in volume a week. If you can get there, there’s a path to $100mm and onwards. I think it’ll heat up further as we get into

People conflate staking (cryptoeconomic primitive) with PoS. Actually, Layer 1 consensus is just one application of staking.
