A little trick for a sneaky player on how to efficiently find ambush opportunities
Watching the news is too inefficient, and I don’t know how to filter it; lurking on influencers makes me worry that too many viewers will lead to my ambush
Just check the trending news on Polymarket to see what everyone is betting on
The benefits are
1. Trending topics are naturally related to web3, allowing us to see what those involved in this market are watching
2. Aligning with the cultural and informational gaps we have missed in the UK
Just like I mentioned in that post about meme references, we don’t necessarily have to understand why something is a meme, but we can gauge its popularity based on its heat
Prediction markets like Polymarket essentially let the silent majority speak through the invisible hand of the market
Additionally, ambush opportunities are, as I’ve repeated several times
1. It’s not the event itself that’s ambushed, but the emotions and expectations of people; what surges after the event happens is definitely something "people didn’t expect"
2. If everyone is already discussing it, then there’s nothing much to ambush, so think carefully about which link in the communication chain you are in
