American Trader Nets $255,000 on Polymarket by Betting “No” on the Hype

An American trader has made headlines after earning $255,000 on Polymarket—not by chasing hype, but by consistently betting “No” on high-profile, emotionally charged predictions. Using a contrarian approach, he targeted overhyped narratives and won big by trusting data over noise.

His winning streak included predictions that:

🔴 $BTC Bitcoin won’t reach $150,000

🔴 $ETH Ethereum won’t hit $4,000

🔴 $SOL Solana won’t touch $250

🔴 Putin won’t meet with Zelenskyy

This strategy echoes a mix of #DayTradingStrategy and #HODLTradingStrategy , but with a twist—he didn’t just hold or trade short-term, he bet against irrational optimism. With rising market volatility and political tension (including the #TrumpTariffs debate), this trader proves that sometimes, the best bet is saying “#No .”
