Replying to @Kalshi
@Kalshi my suggestion for a market: “Will Tesla sell more than 250k humanoids in America by 2030?”
Kalshi users can suggest any market they want. The top request is one @Kalshi will never list. Andy Ross, Head of Institutional, sat down with @TimMeggs in The Local to share what the most requested market actually is...

One of the biggest mismatches in contracted token market making is between the client's desire to hit certain order depth requirements at arbitrary spread levels — primarily driven by the equally arbitrary ±2% bands shown on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko — and the natural breakeven spread at which a prop market maker would place orders. There is always a hidden cost to providing depth tighter than breakeven.

Thoroughly enjoyed the chat that I had with the @lo_tech team. We're clearly going through a paradigm shift in-real time with AI and agents becoming a core part of every day life and business That shift between an individual or team's intention + execution gets that much tigher with the right agentic work flows We've already see it applied onchain in finance, but they'll be much more applications that we'll see in commerce too, especially as the x402 rails mature
The Industrial Revolution compressed the distance between time and place. Now, the Agentic revolution compresses the distance between intention and execution. Catch the full episode with @vandynathan here - youtube.com/watch?v=DBUSRvmF…
