Some savvy investors have already played around with prediction markets. How do they do it? First, they invest 2 million USD on a prediction platform, placing a heavy bet that a rare collectible card will be auctioned at a high price. Then, they become the buyer themselves, directly acquiring the card at an auction for 15 million USD. What’s the result? The initial 2 million bet turns tenfold, becoming 20 million USD. They then sell the card they obtained for over 7 million USD, netting a profit of 10 million USD from the entire operation. This seemingly simple strategy actually reflects the liquidity mechanism and information asymmetry exploitation of prediction markets—if one can accurately predict market expectations and has enough capital to operate, the returns can grow exponentially. Similar arbitrage opportunities are not uncommon in Web3 finance.

Wow, this move is really incredible—it's just a magic trick played by the wealthy... Information asymmetry + capital volume can be used to harvest profits, that's how Web3 is.

Wow, so this is the legendary playing oneself? Turning 2 million into 20 million and then cashing out. I didn't expect this move, it's really quite ruthless.

Manipulating expectations, playing with oneself—so that's how the US dollar comes about? This tactic is pretty ruthless.
