Just in: Shayne Coplan (@shayne_coplan), CEO of @Polymarket, drops real advice every aspiring founder needs to hear:
“I dropped out when I was 18, from college, and there were almost three years of complete brutality: things not working, me trying to build things, me learning different things, running out of money, and being stressed about rent. Like, the whole nine yards. And I think the thing I would say is, if you really wanna do this, if you really feel like it's your calling, don't half-ass it. Go all in. Don't hedge your bets.”
I DID IT!!! Turned $12 into $100,000 (over 8,300x) by going all-in and doubling my bankroll 16 times in a row on short-term BTC moves - while sharing my bets and the reasoning behind them along the way.
This is only possible on @Polymarket !!!
It took a lot of work and real skin in the game, so if you’re reading this, a simple RT or comment would really mean a lot.
Huge shoutout to @shayne_coplanand @Polymarket team for building the best prediction market platform out there. And special thanks to @zscdao and @PolymarketTrade for the support🤝

Excellent breakdown. I constantly see bots like this operating on Polymarket, and their number just keeps increasing.
Also highly recommend following @gemchange_ltd - elite Polymarket analyst with 90%+ win rate and a full-time quant running Monte Carlo sims behind the scenes. He shares his research openly here on X.

I was testing a new strategy and used the merge/split feature, which ended up messing up the PnL and overall stats. It looks like a UI bug, since no additional funds were added to the account.
As I mentioned before, went full degen to get noticed by @Polymarket and @PolymarketTrade - and now, with the account balance significantly higher, I’m switching to proper risk management from here.
Huge shoutout to @shayne_coplan and the @Polymarket team for building the best prediction market platform out there. And special thanks to @zscdao for the support - easily one of the most active, fast-growing DAOs around!

Bought DOWN at 51¢ in Bitcoin market resolving on December 10.
Approximately $265M in short positions has been liquidated over the past six hours. With the FOMC meeting tomorrow, my view is that BTC has largely priced in a 25 bps rate cut already. In parallel, we’re seeing a breakout in the US30Y, a rising VIX, and broader signs of increased market uncertainty.
Given these factors, I expect a sell-the-news reaction around the FOMC announcement.
Please don't copy-trade - if the situation changes, I might exit this position at any time.
Must-watch: Kai Brusch (@kbapitesting) Head of Data at @Polymarket on strategies you can use to get good returns on Polymarket.
"There are market making strategies. You can leverage a lot of interesting tools that are out there in the space to traditionally market make these markets. But I think that the most fun experience is actually just to trade on app on ours or on MetaMask app and just to express your own beliefs."
