“Midas’s oracle” - The collective blog of prediction markets
Quote:
Welcome!…
My name is Chris Masse, and this is my first post. “Midas Oracle” is the collective blog of prediction markets.
“Midas” refers to a mythical prediction market trader, who has the “golden touch” and can turn insights into profits. “Oracle” refers to the predictive power of each prediction market. Indeed, the social utility of the prediction markets has been noticed by the economists and the US CFTC.
See, “Midas’s oracle” is the prediction market.
Professor Tyler Cowen of Marginal Revolution told me that the name of this blog is “awesome”. Thanks. (Your blog name is not bad either, dear honorable professor.) And thanks to Donald Luskin who challenged me into crafting a meaningful blog title. Also, thanks to Jonathan Gewirtz, Jason “The Brain” Ruspini, Steve Roman, David Perry, Mike Linksvayer, professor Robin Hanson (who co-invented the damn thing), Alex Kirtland, Matthew, and many others, for inputs.
See you soon,
Chris Masse
