Polymarket is really a gambler's paradise. Beginners, beware of getting cut.

It should be noted that the reason platforms like Polymarket, a prediction market platform, have survived to this day is fundamentally because they touch on the ultimate dream outlined in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper—the decentralized price discovery mechanism. On-chain data shows that this is not just a gambling tool, but a collective cognitive pricing of the future. It is evident that this is a perfect implementation of the market efficiency hypothesis in the native crypto domain.

I already predicted this market wave. Polymarket is the high ground for bottom-fishing. It's not too late to enter now, but you need to understand the logic clearly.
