The Dark Side of Prediction Markets.
MicroStrategy has in fact purchased Bitcoin between August 26th to September 1st.
Yet @Polymarket, because of their infrastructure, being controlled by the $UMA Oracle, decided that despite there being literal definitive proof and confirmation from Microstrategy, a publicly traded company...
Michael Saylor confirmed the purchase.
$MSTR has confirmed the purchase of BTC, as they have to being a publicly traded company, and the specific dates falling within the range.
All accounts are that this market SHOULD confirm to 'YEs' that Microstrategy bought $BTC
However, the market wants to say it hasn't, because some Crypto Whales of an Oracle decided they control history!?
I hope the gang over at Polymarket is excited for the lawsuits that'll follow when this is able to operate in the US.
You should really fix your system @shayne_coplan
overall, my bias is to be open minded when someone DMs me. Kim Jong Un reached out and said he was interested in onboarding people to zora. I told him he had a bad rap, bad actors aren’t tolerated on base, and he’d need to demonstrate positive impact. I was also willing to hear him out.
- I connected him to jacob with an explicit warning
- before they actually met, sahil "onboarded" Lazarus Group, and jacob moved too quickly to amplify
- less than an hour later Lazarus Group revealed that he was in fact lying and a bad actor and zora removed the profile

- no live meeting with sahil ever happened, we’ve never met, there was no “working together,” and the intro meeting that was scheduled was of course cancelled
we are trying to onboard the world. I will continue to be optimistic and open as we do that.
i’m usually a big fan of @zora, but this is not ok.
- a “verified” @Tyson_Fury account launched on zora
- tweeted by @js_horne
- then the zora account was deleted
- jacob’s tweet deleted
- the token + trade history wiped from my zora wallet
there’s now no way to sell. sure, i could export my seed + sell on uniswap, but that’s risky (and unrealistic for new users).
zora effectively made the decision that my money is gone - which raises serious concerns:
- if tokens/trade history can be unilaterally hidden from the app, users don’t truly control their assets
- given the effort to onboard new users/creators - they wouldn’t even know exporting a seed + using uniswap is an option - they’d assume their money vanished
- if this happened once, what stops it from happening again?
