REALITY CHECK:
“-The biggest challenge is getting people in the company to be active”- [].

Harvard fella says prediction markets are doomed.
He bases his brilliant reasoning on “-rumors”- and total ignorance of the participation inequality law.
Another academic fella who would be better off researching his topic before blogging on something he does not master.

CALL TO ALL PREDICTION MARKET SCHOLARS
THE MIDAS ORACLE READERS WOULD BE HIGHLY INTERESTED IN ANY BLOG POST POINTING TO ANY BRAND-NEW PREDICTION MARKET PAPER.
Feel free to write any blog post linking to a brand-new paper. No need to write a novel-long text —-5 sentences and a link is more than enough. Takes less than 5 minutes to write a short blog post, and you will be seen by millions (if not billions) of prediction market-thirsty readers.
Thanks. Appreciated. Will make up to you.
Psstt…- If you are an old schmuck, have lost your Midas Oracle .ORG login or password, or don’-t have the first clue about how to blog, contact me privately and I’-ll help you.
Psstt…- There are some decerebrated idiots (like John “-phoney”- Baloney and some of the rascals who give him 2,500 bucks per speaker seat) who criticize me behind my back as being too focused on some areas and not others. MIDAS ORACLE .ORG is actually a user-created publication, so if somebody thinks that one sub-field is not covered, it’-s up to him/her to write something on it. I have only ten fingers- I’-m doing all I can. I have empowered 90 blog authors, in all —-the workload should be shared among many shoulders, not just mine. The champ des possibles has been defined quite broadly —-we are about prediction markets, but we are interested in all peripheral matters, and God knows it’-s quite a huge understatement. As I said, every aspect of life could be turned into an event derivative, and the prediction markets can excite our curiosity on science, technology, technology business, geo-political matters, economic and finance stuff, legal news, major sports events, etc.
The e-mail interview with Ken Kittlitz is being downloaded like crazy —-we will repeat the operation with other consenting victims. With always the same purpose in mind: getting to the truth, real quick. Which means pissing off two or three decerebrated idiots in the process —-I take it as a badge of honor.
