2/ Train yourself to go from 10 to 40 to 100 hours of focused work a week. I did this for months building an automated trading system from scratch. 5am-10pm 7days/week
99% of people need #WorkLifeBalance or whatever, and that's great. But I'm talking to the people on a mission.

Today I’m announcing “Next Up Predictions”, a deep dive into prediction markets 🎙️
Podcasting on @PricedInpod
Headlines tell you what happened. Prediction markets tell you what happens next. Billions are being traded on elections, rates, sports and culture, and most people how it works.
So I started a podcast to talk to the people who do.
The concept is simple: unfiltered conversations. Casual format, no script, no PR talking points. Founders building the rails and traders making the calls, talking about whatever they want.
Already recorded with:
@vanishree_rao

All venture investing works on this maxim:
- For those who believe, no explanation is necessary.
- For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.
@v4vihan shared these wise words with me today

Lots of VCs kindof sound like this: "Your basketball team doesn't have a moat, any healthy human can throw the ball into the basket thingy. "
People who have not run companies before don't understand how much the team matters more than some imagined structural moat.

my cofounder @dhanushtummala and I built our trading careers on 0DTE derivatives.
now we're building the global 0DTE exchange for financial event contracts.

and the first 100 mainnet users get $100 in trading credits.

in 1898, a group of merchants got together and set up a butter and egg marketplace.
they were trying to solve a specific problem:
eggs are cheap in spring and expensive in winter. the status quo was to buy in spring, put 'em in cold storage, and pray prices didn't crash before to solve this by somehow locking in a price ahead of time.
but every merchant in the room wanted protection against falling prices. nobody wanted to take the other side.
the risk transfer mechanism wasn't working because everyone wanted to REDUCE risk.
so they let in "outsiders", people who had nothing to do with eggs or butter, didn't own a single chicken. they just wanted to bet on where the price would go.
the merchants now had someone to sell their risk to, someone willing to take the other side, and the market finally worked.
over the next century that little egg market went on to list pork bellies, cattle, currencies, interest rates and stock indices.
today it's the largest derivatives exchange in the world, worth about $100 billion.
you might know it as the cme: the chicago mercantile exchange.
i bring this up cuz people talk about hedging and speculation on prediction markets like they're different disjoint things.
they consider hedging a prudent, net-positive use of the event contract primitive, but speculation as somehow inherently bad.
but when someone hedges, the risk doesn't magically disappear. it just moves to someone else. and the only person who wants more risk is someone who thinks they'll get paid for taking it i.e. the speculator.
hedgers reduce risk, speculators take it on. that's what makes a risk transfer infrastructure work. you can't have one without the other.
so if you want prediction markets to become the new "hyper-granular insurance infrastructure", you don't fight the speculators.
you build the place where speculators want to trade and market makers want to supply liquidity. the hedgers will follow.

prediction markets become a trillion dollar industry when people stop treating them like sportsbooks and start using them like insurance
if your business can get hurt by an election, tariff, rate decision or court ruling, you should be able to buy the outcome that pays when things go against you
speculation gets the attention but hedging creates the industry.
