Vitalik Buterin revealed in an interview that he earned $70,000 last year on Polymarket, starting with a principal of $440,000. According to Foresight News, Buterin's strategy involved identifying markets that were in 'crazy mode' and betting that 'crazy things won't happen.' He focused on segments within Polymarket, including politics and technology.
Buterin also addressed potential oracle issues in prediction markets, suggesting two main solutions. The first is a centralized approach, which involves trusting a company, such as Bloomberg, to provide accurate information. The second is token voting, a decentralized method exemplified by UMA, although trust in UMA has recently declined. Buterin expressed hope for a better solution in the future.
