Zelensky is in serious danger in Ukraine, reportedly, with the potential for someone in Ukraine to kill him, even if it’s from his own security. Seriously.

Kursk is a big sticking point. Russians won't do a ceasefire while Ukraine is still in Kursk. They have not reason to let Ukraine hold it and use as a bargaining chip in negotiations if they think they can take it back

Pretty much but the rules need to be clarified that both US and Denmark must make an announcement. Third paragraph says US and Denmark but first paragraph only says US. Don't understand how they are still so shit at writing unambiguous rules.

This is the only way it can resolve yes. The bitcoins get placed in "a" reserve but they won't be in "the" reserve

EO can instruct the Justice Department to transfer seized bitcoins to Treasury Department reserve, but it doesn't actually move them. Moving them is an IT project. You are betting on whether the US Federal government will implement a new IT project in 100 days.

Do you all realize how the government works? Let’s assume this is passed via executive order within the first 100 days-an uncertain prospect to begin with as this likely isn’t a top White House priority-how long do you think it would take the Treasury (or whichever agency is responsible) to implement such a plan? There’s no established protocol or institutional knowledge within the USG for executing something like this. How would the government purchase it? With what funds? Where/how would it be stored? Who would oversee and manage it? The amount of lobbying (both for and against), ‘feasibility studies’, interagency bickering, preparation, etc., will be absurd. (Maybe it could be outsourced, but then government contracting comes into play, which is another nightmare.) There is only one constant about the USG-it’s slow. Not to mention, the political optics of the government buying bitcoin during a generational cost of living crisis wouldn’t look great. (Yes, it may help with that in the long run. But tell that to the people who can’t afford rent today.) It’s a good idea, and it will likely happen eventually, but no way the government moves fast enough to resolve this market in time, 100 days is far too fast.

If you guess right then every share you own will pay out $1 (USDC). If you guess wrong all your shares are worth 0. Make sure you read the rules so you understand what conditions have to be met for it to resolve Yes or No.

You have that backwards. The results between swings states are highly correlated which means the odds here should only be a little worse than the hardest swing state for Trump to win (currently Michigan). If he wins that state it is very likely he wins the rest.

No, its still 50% , because the results from one state do not influence another state.

Am I missing something? Seems like this is nearly identical to the "which party wins" market. Only difference I see is that this market would resolve differently if either a 3rd party wins or Joe Biden wins, but those are both exceedingly small probabilities. Not worth the current 3 cents price difference.

Interesting, I saw on another ETH price market there is a note in the rules that if binance has a large "data discrepancy" compared to other exchanges they will also use price on other exchanges to resolve the market. Frankly, they should add this language to all the crypto price markets. https://polymarket.com/event/will-ethereum-hit-15k-in-2024?tid=1723013773446

Not an expert but I've been doing some ready on the Yen-USD carry trade which seems to be the current explanation for the massive stock sell-off in Japan. Basically it relies on the difference in government debt interest rates between US and Japan and a relatively stable exchange rate in order to be profitable. But both of those factors have started to shift: The yen has been rapidly appreciating against the dollar and the Bank of Japan just this year has started raising rates for the first time in many years. Now all this turmoil would make you think the Fed will act quickly with a rate cut to support the economy, but the kicker is that in this case a rate cut in the US would further contribute to the collapse of the carry trade. Seems like a real quagmire here and I have no idea how to trade it. Used to have a much bigger position in this market but reduced it heavily. Anyway there is bound to be a lot of volatility in the near term, stay safe and maybe don't look at your stock portfolio for awhile.

Any argument that Obama shouldn't be priced the same as Kamala to be the nominee? Obama has a history of not making his position known on stuff like this until a consensus emerges.

Gotta be careful with this part of the rules: Statements that the Democratic party should nominate another candidate other than Joe Biden will also qualify for a “Yes” resolution."

Just checking the temperature: is it common for Polymarket to fall on the side of absurd resolutions, like "Obama called for Biden to resign when he endorsed Kamala" after he had already dropped out?

After re-reading the rules I suppose there was a case for Yes. The rules are terribly written though because I don't think anyone would think Biden saying he is staying in the race should be called a "major" announcement.
Donkov

"if President Joe Biden makes any major announcement regarding his future, such as his decision to resign the presidency or whether to run or not run for re-election" Statement whether he will stay in the race is literally in the rule for the market to resolve to yes.
rjpoly

Saying he is staying in the race is not a major announcement. He's been saying it for weeks.

I think the only question now is whether it's a "major announcement" or not. If not then they really should be more specific with what they mean.
