Put your money where your mouth is

I’ve recently become obsessed with Polymarket. This ‘prediction market’ platform allows you to buy and sell shares based on the outcome of real-world events. Sports, culture, or political upheaval, Polymarket allows you to gamble on virtually anything. 

The great thing about Polymarket is that the odds are a function of market pressure rather than a traditional bookmaker. People placing bets create the odds, and the price is determined strictly by market demand. 

This concept is so pragmatic yet novel.

Although I’ve only made one failed bet so far, I have been using it to garner public sentiment on issues. There is something meaningful about listening to predictions from people who are willing to put some skin in the game.

Next time you have a conversation with someone who knows more than anyone else about a topic, simply point them to polymarket.com, so that they can put their money where their mouth is.  

• Now that’s a peak ethos.
