I want to tell you about a scam scheme I found.
These guys, who call themselves RUG CIS, run a tg channel about launching coins on the Solana blockchain. Training and access to their bot cost $150. I was intrigued and paid.
Afterward, they gave me some "training" material 🤣 , which turned out to be practically useless, since all this information is free and easily accessible in their public channel). Then they added me to gc with supposedly other 'students' like me. We were supposed to create launches on Solana by investing at least $500. I decided to follow along.
A couple of days later, the 🤡 show began: students began to share about their successes, thereby encouraging you to send the coveted $500-$800 to the Tg-bot for even greater profits. Everyone in the group had success - $500, $900, $1,500 - with only the 1 click of a button. I realized that as soon as I sent the money to the trading bot, it would simply drained.
That was the end of my interactions with these scammers. If you happen to encounter them online, here are their nicknames and links to their channel.

POLYMARKET: Real statistics, Prospects, Metrics
It is always beneficial to know the truth, especially when it comes to a platform that fights for this truth, promotes it, and allows you to influence certain events. @Polymarket is still a young company, but there is already wisdom in its eyes, and when you look at it, you realize that this child will grow up to be a very significant giant.
It is always important to see real figures not only at a given moment, but also their entire development trajectory. This allows us to predict the future, because it is basic mathematics and statistics. Let's look at the figures:
> Total trading volume is now beginning to exceed a stable 5B.
> The total number of transactions is beginning to plateau at around 1m.
> Open interest remains stable above 300m.
> However, there are just over 80k unique users.
Conclusion: At the beginning of 2025, there was the first hype around a new technological platform and phenomenon in the form of Polymarket, then, as often happens, people lost interest and returned to their previous activities. But as fate would have it, the market turned out to offer no other alternatives, and people finally began to understand the real benefits of the product and how it could be used, how much fun it could be, and how much it could change their lives. As a result, today @Polymarket is hitting ATH on virtually all metrics, but there are still relatively few people on the platform, which means we are at the very beginning of people's AWARENESS.
Let's move on to the statistical data on the bets themselves:
> Top categories. It is evident that betting platform owners need to step up their game, as Polymarket users are primarily interested in sports. In second place is Politics/World Events in their various forms, which is essentially Polymarket's main feature.
> A much more interesting indicator, especially in the sports betting sector. We see that the best betting prediction percentage is when the event has ALREADY STARTED and some time has passed since the start (for example, 1 hour), the chance that users have collectively chosen the correct outcome is as high as 80%, which is a hell of a lot and is actually “free money generation.” Meanwhile, predicting the outcome before the event starts is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DIFFICULT, with only a 63% chance of winning.
> As for not only sports betting, here are the statistics. Just think about these numbers: almost 96% of predictions COME TRUE 4 hours before the end of the event. Yes, in most cases, betting on an event just before it ends means a 1-5% profit, but compound interest works wonders, which in the long run can lead to hundreds of percent of income per year to your capital. Think about it.
