Ever notice how your sense of money completely shifts once you're deep in the game? Take prediction markets—they've been climbing all year, hitting what looks like peak activity right now. Wild part? The top performer on one major platform pulled in $3M so far in 2025. That kind of return doesn't just happen. It's the result of reading markets when everyone else is guessing, timing exits before the crowd catches on, and risking capital where data points to edge. Makes you wonder what normal profit even means anymore when plays like this exist.
