Yesterday, I came across an interesting case — it turns out that a wallet created just three days ago managed to earn nearly half a million dollars on geopolitical bets. This is about the prediction market, where people bet on events like military actions. This crypto newcomer invested $60,000 in a prediction that Iran would be hit, which was supposed to happen on the 28th, plus another $3,000 on a scenario for March 1st. The result was $493,500 in net profit. Honestly, when you see such numbers, you start to understand how to make money in cryptocurrency through prediction markets — but at the same time, it seems somewhat suspicious. The whole story smells like insider information because guessing the exact dates of geopolitical events by chance isn’t quite realistic. I wonder how one can generally make money in crypto this way if they don’t have information ahead of others? It seems this wasn’t just a lucky trader, but someone who knew about the events in advance. In any case, the story shows that there are many ways to make money in crypto, but not all of them are honest.
