Polymarket participants face a real binary choice: either you have enough strong algorithms and technical advantages, or you rely on solid fundamental research and informational advantages. Both paths can be profitable, but choosing the wrong one can easily lead to market liquidation. This is the harsh reality of prediction markets — there is no middle ground.

nah this "two paths" framing is kinda mid... i've traced enough wallet clusters to know there's a third option: just being early enough to frontrun the retail crowd before sentiment flips. statistical patterns don't lie.

Exactly right, it's just like a diode. The idea of a gray area sounds great, but in reality, most people are not involved on either side haha. Isn't this just the confrontation between gamblers and scientists? In the end, retail investors are the ones who suffer. Forget it, I'll just stick to my fundamentals. Anyway, if I get "harvested," I can at least keep my peace of mind. The tech crowd turning Poly into a high-frequency trading platform is really disgusting.

Staying up late watching the gas tracker until dawn, and in the end, getting completely wiped out. This is my binary choice.

No middle ground? Bro, that's a bit too absolute. I'm the one caught in the middle, repeatedly harvested like a leek. I don't have an algorithm, and my research isn't deep—I'm just relying on pure intuition to go all-in, and you all know the result. I think this is the true nature of Poly—it's either gambling or intellectual dominance, with no third option.
