There is a straddle strategy robot on Polymarket secretly harvesting short-term binary options markets. This guy named PurpleThunderBicycleMountain behaves very strangely.
It is neither betting on a direction nor showing signs of traditional arbitrage logic. Only after carefully studying its trading pattern did I realize—this is precisely capturing micro-market fluctuations. The robot holds both long and short positions simultaneously, using precise risk management to continuously profit in highly volatile binary markets.
This approach is completely unlike human traders' thinking. No gambling mentality, no emotional swings, just coldly harvesting liquidity within short cycles. That’s also why more and more intelligent trading robots are beginning to stand out in on-chain binary markets—human reaction speeds simply can't compete.

This robot's name is really... quite abstract. But the trading logic is pretty interesting; straddle essentially bets on volatility. The key question is: how does it consistently profit in a zero-sum market like binary options? Where does the liquidity come from...

Hold on to your chips, brothers. I need to think about this bot's risk factor... This kind of two-way position arbitrage is basically exploiting the liquidity spread. Humans have already been pushed out of the game.

Damn, this robot's name is way too ridiculous, PurpleThunderBicycleMountain? I can't help but laugh out loud.

To be honest, this is a vivid illustration of the market efficiency paradox. Humans are still struggling with directional bets, while robots have long since treated volatility itself as a tradable commodity for arbitrage. The name PurpleThunderBicycleMountain... is indeed quite bizarre, but the trading logic is purely mathematical and cold-blooded. Short-term liquidity is mechanically harvested, and once this scales up, retail traders have no way out—it's basically a life being cut short.

The era of humans gambling on the chain, being ruthlessly drained by robots, is truly outrageous.

Robots are slowly eating away at our livelihoods. How can we continue to play?
