Ever heard of making a million bucks off one bet? Happened on Polymarket.
Some Google employee just walked away with $1M from a single prediction trade. The wild part isn't the profit—it's how untraceable the whole thing is. No one's catching this person. Ever.
Here's what gets me thinking: we're heading into an era where tiny pieces of insider knowledge—stuff you'd never think matters—could turn into serious money. That random industry detail you picked up at work? Worth something. That niche observation no one else has? Could be your edge.
Prediction markets are basically rewarding information asymmetry now. You know something others don't, you profit. Simple as that.
The lines between what's legal and what's just... advantageous? Yeah, those are getting pretty blurry in crypto.

Damn, this is just insider trading in a new disguise... As long as you don't get caught, you're the winner, right?

ngl this is why I say prediction markets are bound to have problems sooner or later... insider trading is still insider trading, just with a different look

Insider info for a million? I don't buy it... If it were that easy, everyone would be a millionaire by now.
