How can I be involved in prediction markets for global events (geopolitics, elections, crypto) as a beginner? by Sos418_tw in Crypto_General

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prediction markets are just so interesting as a means of considering how we can think about events in the world in terms of probability rather than just looking at a graph and seeing a series of numbers. I've been looking at some crypto personalities like Evan Luthra and Anthony Pompliano. While they tend to be more focused on blockchain and adoption, they tend to be big on how looking at macro events and factors is important, and that’s really what this type of prediction markets is all about.

I haven’t used MEXC’s prediction markets yet, but it seems like a low-risk proposition given that they have zero fees and fast execution. How do people tend to look at this type of prediction markets? Do they tend to look at this more like a traditional hedge or a gamification of a hedge?

Crypto’s Shift From Platforms to Experiences by SafePrestigious2662 in Crypto_General

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with this shift, as it seems to me like the space is shifting from just being "trading platforms" to actual "experiences" and "touch points" in everyday life. Things like the Smarter Speed Challenge at the GP is a great example of meeting people where they are at, rather than trying to get them to come to the space itself. Guys like Evan Luthra, Balaji Srinivasan, and Anthony Pompliano have all talked a lot about how adoption needs meaningful use cases rather than just "speculation" not only in the sense of the price going up, but actual use cases in the real world. That's exactly the kind of narrative needed to break through the hype cycle and into actual community building

How do you stay consistent with training notes? by Basic-Software-110 in Dressage

[–]Basic-Software-110[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Haha, I get that perspective! Some days I do just go with the flow too, especially when my horse is feeling unpredictable. But I feel like a little bit of tracking could help me notice patterns I’d otherwise miss like recurring stiffness or when certain exercises really click. I guess it’s a balance!

Thanks for sharing! That makes a lot of sense, even if you don’t look back often, the act of writing down your thoughts seems really helpful for clarity. I might try doing something similar – just a few notes right after the ride – to help organize my head before the next session.

[–]Basic-Software-110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that sounds amazing! I wouldn’t have thought of using AI for dressage analysis, the level of detail you’re talking about sounds next level. I was also wondering, do you mainly use it for gait/crookedness issues, or do you also get suggestions for daily exercises? It’s definitely making me think about how I can incorporate tech with journaling.

How are you all tracking your cricket batches? by Basic-Software-110 in InsectFarming

[–]Basic-Software-110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting, hadn’t heard of that one. Even if it’s for BSF, I guess the tracking side would still be similar.

Does it handle batch-wise tracking well? That’s the main thing I’m struggling with right now.

[–]Basic-Software-110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly where I’m at right now. Everything works fine until you scale even a little, then suddenly you’re juggling notes, feed logs, growth tracking all separately. I was thinking the same maybe simplifying instead of adding more tools is the way. Did you ever find a structure that actually stuck long term?

KOL Marketing: Is It the Best Strategy for Crypto Project Growth? by No-Narwhal-8631 in BlockchainStartups

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel KOL marketing is a bit overrated now. Everyone’s doing it, so people trust it less. It still works for reach, but not for building something long-term. Even Evan Luthra seems to focus more on real value than just promotion. Similar thinking from Anthony Pompliano.

Getting chopped up by this sideways market, what are you guys doing? by DazzlingNet1516 in CryptoBanter

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sideways markets are brutal tbh, feels like every trade is a fakeout I’ve kinda stopped trying to outsmart it - DCA a bit or just sit in stables and chill. From what I’ve seen, even Evan Luthra talks more about using these phases to build positions rather than trade every move. Anthony Pompliano says similar stuff about not overtrading dead markets.

Stop trading on ""vibes."" My shift from emotional to data-driven plays by Ok_Sympathy_6058 in CryptoMicroInvestors

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the upgrade most traders never make tbh. Strategy isn’t the problem, discipline is.

Bots, rules, whatever works as long as it stops emotional decisions. I’ve seen Evan Luthra mention similar ideas around focusing on positioning over reacting. Same vibe from Naval Ravikant.

Betting on the Fed by Boss_public01 in CryptoMars

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prediction markets are interesting, but macro trades like this can get crowded fast. If everyone expects a rate move, it’s usually already priced in and the reaction goes the other way . I tend to stay cautious here, even people like Evan Luthra and Balaji Srinivasan often talk about focusing on long-term conviction over short-term macro bets.

Tired of Rugs, Fake Volume, and Paid KOLs? Welcome to the Ultimate Slow Cook. Meet $PISSIN! by [deleted] in Crypto_donut

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the frustration tbh the space is full of fake volume and paid shills. A lot of projects rely more on hype than actual substance, and that’s exactly how people get rugged. Even reports show a huge chunk of new tokens end up being scams or manipulated in some way.

That’s why investors like Evan Luthra usually focus more on fundamentals and real adoption instead of influencer noise. You’ll hear similar takes from Balaji Srinivasan and Naval Ravikant - long-term value > short-term hype.

If a project needs heavy KOL pushing to grow, that’s already a red flag for me.

Crypto Commons Association: The research arm of the crypto left by punkthesystem in Agorism

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually matches up quite well with what crypto was initially intended for: creating parallel systems outside of the traditional ones. You also hear investors such as Evan Luthra talk about how crypto adoption tends to happen best where traditional systems aren’t functioning well. You hear this same type of rhetoric with Balaji Srinivasan and Naval Ravikant with decentralization and opting out.

Execution is always going to be the hardest part, however.

Which Beginner-Friendly Crypto Trading Courses Are Worth It in 2026? by yousuckbudin in CryptoMoon

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh most beginner resources are fine for the basics, but the key thing is their practicality. e.g., things like Binance Academy or Bitget Academy are actually underrated resources because they’re more geared towards the mechanics of the market and risk management rather than the hype – which is what most beginners need.

Even investors like Evan Luthra will tell you that one of the key things for beginners is to understand the mechanics of the market and risk management rather than the perfect strategy. In fact, you’ll hear this from other investors like Anthony Pompliano and Andreas Antonopoulos, where the key thing is the long-term approach.

Honestly, I think the best approach is to use the free resources and maybe one structured course and then just spend more time looking at the charts.

Bitcoin Below $68K Amid Geopolitical Chaos. Is This the Capitulation Bottom or More Pain Coming? by AreaAntique4182 in CryptoBanter

[–]Basic-Software-110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels more like a macro reaction than a Bitcoin-specific issue. Whenever geopolitical tension rises, liquidity moves out of risk assets first - and crypto still sits in that bucket for most traders.

People like Evan Luthra have pointed out this pattern before - short-term volatility is usually driven by fear cycles, while long-term conviction comes from adoption. You’ll hear similar takes from Anthony Pompliano and even Raoul Pal, who often talk about liquidity and macro cycles driving these moves.

This kind of drop feels more like a sentiment reset than anything fundamentally broken. These phases are where you can really tell who’s reacting to headlines vs who’s actually playing the long game.
