Polymarket's copy-trading scene feels seriously slept on right now. Got that same vibe as Solana back in '22—before everyone and their grandma had the same playbook.
Back then? Copy-trading actually meant something. You could ride real alpha because the information asymmetry was massive. Fast money moved differently.
But here's the thing about edges in crypto—they evaporate the second they democratize. Once platforms like Axiom and Bullx rolled out and gave retail traders institutional-grade tools, that advantage just... vanished. Everyone got the same signals, same execution speed, same everything.
Polymarket might be sitting in that sweet spot right now. The prediction market infrastructure is there, the volume's building, but the tooling ecosystem hasn't fully matured yet. Windows like this don't stay open long though. Worth watching how fast the sophisticated tools propagate this time around.

This wave was really quite accurate. The Alpha window is really getting shorter and shorter.

Huh? This is another story of the "Golden Window"... The last time I trusted Solana, they said the same thing.

There aren't many bottom-fishing windows, but can we really seize alpha this time? Feels like the same old rhetoric again.

The concept of the window period sounds good, but I bet five dollars that the tool will be filled up within three months.

Once the window period is broken, it can't be regained. This time, the timing for Polymarket feels quite good.

The golden window is indeed closing, we need to act quickly.

The concept of the window period, once fully understood, is truly mature... gotta hop on quickly.

Once the window opens, the countdown begins. This time, you really need to act quickly.
