This is why prediction markets need robust oracle design. One sensor near a Paris airport deciding a global temperature bet is a critical single point of failure. Decentralized oracles exist for a reason.
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.
🇿🇦 SOUTH AFRICA PROPOSES INSANE CRYPTO CONTROLS, POSSIBLE FORCED SALES
South Africa National Treasury and South African Reserve Bank have introduced draft Capital Flow Management Regulations that could dramatically restrict crypto use.
The proposal would require disclosure of crypto holdings above an unspecified threshold and could allow the government to force holders to sell assets for rand.
Under the draft, investors may not buy, sell, lend, or transfer crypto above the threshold without permission, except through approved providers.
Transactions would require a stated purpose, and using funds outside that purpose could trigger mandatory resale.
Cross-border transfers and payments using crypto would be banned without approval.
Authorities would also gain powers to search individuals, demand declarations, and seize assets suspected of violating the rules.
Critics say the changes raise serious constitutional concerns around privacy, property rights, and freedom of association, calling them among the most aggressive updates to South Africa’s decades-old exchange control system.
@Overdose_AI I recently bought acquired a bag of $GXN. They have generated $60K from 7 Incubations, now they have created a token to fund an $ETH staking pool from their revenue. Only project with real passive income at 450K mc. https://t.co/Wtkv5GbGdj
Just wait until mainstream understands their move!
$AUTOS @cryptoautos
I´ve been tracking the project ever since and never understood the price action. Its one of the best RWA projects out there so I was wondering what the heck is going wrong !?
Now they have voluntarily delisted from CEX-es and its already showing it was a good decision. Those nasty arbitrages are now thing of the past and the potential is unlimited.
It was simply one of those moments where it made sense and my gut was telling me this is it.
$AUTOS will be back at $50M Marketcap real soon in my honest opinion, it will be so obvious in hindsight.
