Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

There's some polymarket drama around this where people were betting if Microstrategy would sell any bitcoin before June based on onchain data or credible reporting yadda yadda.
And indeed Microstrategy sold some bitcoin before June and this was credibly reported on.
So of course in the grand tradition of cryptocurrency prediction markets Polymarket resolved the bet to "no".
It's hard to find any good reporting about this, but here's the perspective of someone who lost 500k on this bet: https://xcancel.com/willo2_poly/status/2061640812132516321
Lol, lmao even.

Looks like Polymarket does, in fact, represent crypto values.
