remember 2019? the market was flooded with retail quant products—everyone hawking their 'revolutionary algo' that basically just stacked a few moving averages together. made a killing off the hype back then.

fast forward to now, and we're watching the exact same pattern play out in prediction markets. same grift, different packaging.

here's the thing though: genuine alpha never gets tweeted out. you won't find it packaged up in some course or algorithm someone's selling you. once it's public knowledge, it's already dead—the edge evaporates the moment everyone else knows about it.

stay skeptical. the real plays stay quiet.

The 2019 wave of IQ taxes was really outrageous. Now prediction markets are using the same old tricks, just a different flavor.

The rookies from 2019 are now switching to a new place to get exploited again—it's truly a cycle. Things that can make money are never loudly advertised everywhere; those who constantly post courses... haha.

The 2019 wave of moving average cut-losses is happening again in the prediction market. Truly incredible.

Oh no, isn't this just a repeat of my massive loss in 2019...

But on the other hand, I am now fully invested in a few prediction markets projects, and I feel like this time is different. I can sense that breakthrough feeling. People call it a scam, but my faith remains, and since the bottom-fishing opportunity has come, I will definitely increase my position.

True alpha definitely doesn't tweet randomly, but I really got a feel for it this time... the last time, everyone.

The group of moving average masters from 2019 have now all switched to selling prediction markets, really just a change of packaging but the same old story.

That wave of cutting leeks in 2019 was truly incredible. Now the prediction market is starting the same tricks again... People who really can't make money love to tweet and teach others how to make money.

The same old trick of cutting leeks in 2019 is back again; the predicted market this time is just a different disguise. But to be honest, those who truly have alpha have already quietly made a fortune and wouldn't be shouting on Twitter.
