This guy literally hacked Polymarket with a hair dryer 💀
Happened in Paris.
On Polymarket, temperature bets were settled using a single sensor near Charles de Gaulle Airport.
He figured out the exact location, showed up in person, and placed a bet on an “impossible” outcome 22°C when the market expected 18°C.
Then he pulled out a hair dryer and heated the sensor.
The artificial spike got recorded as the daily high → market settled → he cashed out.
Did it twice.
Walked away with ~$34K.
While everyone’s arguing over indicators and alpha, this guy is out here doing IRL market manipulation.
A Chinese steel mill quietly cut its iron ore inventory from 40 days to 10 days overnight.
Nobody reported on it.
Nobody outside the industry noticed.
Commodity traders just inherited a $300 billion storage business for free.
Here's what actually happened:
Steel mills used to hold their own buffer stock.
Credit dried up after 2008.
Inventory shrank.
The mills went just-in-time.
Who fills the gap between supply and demand now?
Traders.
They hold the ore.
They blend it to spec.
They deliver on demand.
The mills outsourced their entire supply chain security to private trading firms.
And most people still think commodity trading is just speculation.
It is not speculation.
It is the infrastructure that keeps global industry running.
If you are shorting long bonds with oil puking like this, you are implicitly betting on real rate selloff (financial conditions tightening), in which case it is better to short equities.
I've already watched this clip 12 times.
And I assure you I'm not the only one. A ton of money managers, tradfi, and older generations deeply respect this guy.
Ray Dalio was right, there's a change in world order.
But it ain't China, it's Bitcoin.

He’s a professor of biology, who’s studied cancer for 30+ years.
His message? Cancer isn’t bad genes or bad luck—it’s damaged mitochondria.
This flips everything you’ve been told about how to treat & prevent cancer: 🧵
Let me be blunt. Those who are afraid of AI feel deep down that they are impostors & have no edge. If you have a 1) clear mind, 2) a deep, not just cosmetic, undertanding of your specialty, 3) and/or are original enough to reinvent yourself when needed, AI will be your friend.
