Canadian expat living in the USA $300 to $340,000 so far on Kalshi in 2025-2026 - hoping to get to $500K trading politics & mention markets

Hey @Nigel_Farage if you end up debating this guy during the byelection, make sure you go to the debate looking like this.

Hi all. Been a while since I've had a chance to post here, and Kalshi has been a bit slow for me for the last few months anyways, but that ends today thanks to Graham Platner's withdrawal a few minutes ago. Yes, it's real.

Reached my goal of a $100K portfolio last night! Started my @Kalshi journey with a $300 deposit just over a year ago in November 2024. Always loved and had a feel for politics, so was thrilled to discover a way that I could actually bet on something that I have a pretty decent understanding of; never in my wildest dreams would I have believed it would turn into this, this quickly. But now I see that the sky is the limit. Onwards to $200K! Hopefully before this time next year!

My best trade ever, on the leaked Time Person of the Year. Guessed that "AI" would probably not be PoTY because...there is nobody to celebrate winning it, so focused on AI leaders & CEOs. Got Elon, Altman, Lisa Su and Dario all for pennies each, who are all winners.

I bought No on almost every strike for the Time Person of the Year shortlist, basically trying to brute force my way into a win by outnumbering the list. Starting to look like there may not be a shortlist? If so, they'll all pay off! Wasn't expecting that.

Well, I got wrecked by Google's year in search. Lesson learned...Better to buy No than try to guess Yes's on markets like this.

.@Foster sees the matrix of prediction markets faster than anyone else out there.

KALSHI TRADER HIGHLIGHT @Foster is one of the top mention market traders with $380K in profit. He's always been obsessed with trading: from CSGO skins to sports and eventually anything with Kalshi. His strategy is simple: stay glued to current events and understand how headlines move markets. "I spent a long time watching headlines move prices until I felt like I had a handle on how they impact it, and now I use that gut instinct to make trades." He's hit multiple 100x plays in mention markets. One of his first big wins came from catching a single-word mismatch in a Karoline Leavitt market. He turned $250 into $25,000 in minutes. More recently, he crushed the Synthetix trading competition. While Bitcoin was tanking, BTC markets were updating instantly… but the competition leaderboard lagged. He noticed gmoney had a massive unrealized short and loaded up on him at 50¢ before the market caught up. He walked away with a few thousand in profit. His advice to new traders? Build confidence and own a niche to become the person who knows more than the market. "If the price is cheaper than my estimation, I will buy yes. And if it's higher, I will buy no." Prediction markets let you find edges that have never existed before.

If Trump doesn't joke about an autopen pardon during the turkey pardoning ceremony tomorrow is he even still President?

Why couldn't they have named the turkey that Trump pardons tomorrow Ghislaine Maxwell?

Gonna be hilarious watching Grandma curse out Trump for saying "Biden" at a completely unrelated event.
CBS Sunday Morning dedicated an episode to Kalshi yesterday. I was born in Bakersfield, California. I moved away from there when I was 3, but my godfather and his family still live there. At 70 years old, my godfather knows that Kalshi exists, but doesn’t really know what it is. That is, until CBS aired. Millions tune in to @CBS every Sunday. The platform reaches a mainstream audience, which skews older (40+), heavily concentrates in middle America, and isn't chronically online. Yesterday's episode made me grasp the extent to which tech twitter and financial reporting are a niche bubble: we have received more inbound from the episode than we have received from any other press, and that includes South Park, Elon posts, and NYT fundraise announcements. From someone on our team: “My mom played the segment for 25+ women (ages 70-102) at the Central Wyoming Cowbell Cookie Exchange today. No one knew about prediction markets before. Their main takeaways were: wow what a great idea + this could be fun + how do we sign up. She will send me a final number of signups she is responsible for later today: right now she is at 14.” The episode elevates prediction markets from emerging to established. It also educated millions of people outside of tech and finance about how these markets work. Above all, it got my godfather excited about Kalshi. I hope you (and your parents, and possibly even your grandparents) enjoy the episode.

Well, I never thought after a year on @Kalshi I'd be able to say that I have a portfolio that @elonmusk would be jealous of, but here we are.
