@predictall_ Kalshi and Polymarket moving on insider rules is smart but reactive. Just added a Substack update on why pre-committed Ethical Circuit Breakers were always going to be mandatory. Worth a read.

@USPredict Spot on about the DraftKings contradiction. Just dropped a quick Substack update on how these bills are the exact Ethical Circuit Breaker failure the series warned about. Link in bio if useful.
