The article goes for ”traders“ and “investors“. I think a more accurate description would be “gamblers” and “shysters”.

Another brilliant idea. RFK, Jr and Hegseth are using people as test subjects so why not bet on how many of us will survive. We’re experiencing a cross between Darwin and Josef Mengele.

what odds are kalshi offering on their c-suite getting guillotined?

NFT, Crypto, LLM, prediction markets. All this web 2.0 stuff is just scams.

Despicable

It won't increase the insider trading because it's already 100%.

Dumbest thing in the world- you can also just buy small cap biotech stocks which is essentially the same thing as betting on clinical trial data and FDA approvals

Disgraceful.

It’s gambling plain and simple. Next admin has to close them down and ban it.

I’m sorry WHAT? How is all this betting a good idea? We are going to end up with more people losing their homes, cars, and families to betting addictions. Remember, The House always wins. The role of the government should be to protect citizens from corruption. They are feeding them up.

"We really shouldn't approve this drug, but I did bet for it to be approved...."

NOOOO! We want clinical trials to work. We do not want people to die because they didn't. Ban betting on them.

that's a dark take, code PROMO50 on Polymarket, $50 free

Ask these guys, if they think it's a good idea. (One might be micro dosing so approach him, calmly, ha!) www.fda.gov/about-fda/fd...

There is nothing about prediction markets that justifies their existence.

America is no longer a capitalist system - we’ve become the world’s first gambling economy. I’m not talk just about Kalshi and Polymarket - this includes VCs, PE firms and lately AI firms borrowing a trillion dollars to build data centers for a technology that doesn’t fully work yet.
