My @Polymarket bot is still running on my Raspberry Pi.
2 days ago: 26 trades triggered, 26 wins, 0 losses
Now: 42 trades triggered, 42 wins, 0 losses
I could change the parameters to increase the number of triggered orders, but that would make it less conservative.
At these settings, I believe the bot can never lose, and each trigger guarantees ~1.5%. I could aim for more, but that would mean taking more risk.
I prefer a guaranteed 1.5% per trade rather than higher returns with any chance of loss.
I’ll keep the bot running until it reaches 200 triggered orders before scaling it with much more

Here’s where I run my @Polymarket bots 24/7, either to test them over long periods or to record backtest data.
> Raspberry Pi 4 B
> Mini screen for the Raspberry
> 1TB SSD, which also hosts a full Bitcoin node
Instead of using my PC’s resources, I use this setup to stress-test my bots.
Once I’m satisfied, I move them to a VPS to optimize latency.

GMMMM ladies and boys!
I wish you all a wonderful year.
Try to keep your resolutions for at least a few weeks ;)

my 2026 goals:
> hit 100k followers
> make 6 figs with a @Polymarket arb bot
> build a profitable farmland with trees, a well, vegetables, etc...
> build my house on land I bought this year
> learn Rust language
> spend more time with my son
> connect more with the @pudgypenguins community

I wrote a piece of code to analyze all projects that ran a pre-TGE campaign on @KaitoAI.
For each, I used an API to fetch the launch price, ATH, and current price. Then I run a simple script to structure the data and better understand how prices evolved over time.
The main question is, are these projects high-quality? Is it better to hold airdrops or sell them immediately after receiving them?
If we look at price performance from launch to now, most tokens are in the red. The majority are down between -50% and -90%. 24 out of 28 tokens show negative performance, and only 4 are positive.

Despite this difficult end to the year, I think it was actually a pretty good one.
I met a lot of people, learned a lot, won a lot, and lost a lot too.
Either way, I think getting into crypto was the best decision of my life.
LOVE YOU ALL!

Onchain equity is becoming a real DeFi primitive.
Real companies can now issue actual equity onchain, while staying anchored to existing legal and regulatory frameworks.
At the same time, benchmarks like the S&P 500 are moving onchain, not as synthetics, but through compliant, composable infrastructure.
This is what Internet Capital Markets start to look like, with @centrifuge providing the rails underneath.

GM ladies and boys!
wish you all a Merry Christmas.
enjoy this day with friends and family and come back stronger in the trenches.
a big 2026 awaits us!

GM ladies and boys!
Another day, another opportunity to learn.
Stay focused.

i got around $250 worth of vouchers, but I’ve seen some get $5K+.
i got 6 PUNK draw tickets and 2 Hypurr draw tickets. The probabilities are very low, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

seriously we still wonder why retails are not here?
uncomfortable truth is simple, retail was there, they just left.
retail has always been the scapegoat. it’s impossible for them to win long-term. it’s even impossible for them to stay neutral without losing money.

GM boys!
Don’t fight the bear, master it.
Sow during the bear, harvest during the bull. You can’t have one without the other.

in just 9 days, institutions completely absorbed $BTC.
between Nov 24 and Dec 2:
> JPMorgan launched leveraged products tied to BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF
> Nasdaq raised the position limits on Bitcoin ETF options from 250,000 to 1 million (4× increase)
> Vanguard opened Bitcoin and other crypto ETFs to its ~50 million clients
what’s surprising is that Vanguard had always been anti-crypto, and now they flipped almost overnight. their Head of Investments was publicly against Bitcoin just a few months ago.
the timing is what’s truly interesting. all of this happened exactly while retail investors w

The market is playing with me… this bear just won’t leave us.
When’s the comeback?

why does it feel like things were better before?
i miss the era of Ordinals, Ve(3, 3), Tomb fork, Curve Wars, Cosmos season, play-to-earn, GMX and the whole Avalanche Era ....
feels like there was way more excitement from retail back then. even if the market looks stronger now with institutions, I still miss those early vibes…
same for you or am i the only one?
