today, one year ago, I decided to create this account here’s a quick recap of the year: - started this account because I was vibecoding a SaaS (basically a ChatGPT wrapper) - uni started again, and I got into the fintech ecosystem since I’ve always been interested in investment banking and the vc world - took a deep dive into prediction markets after seeing their real potential - started posting about prediction markets and saw more growth - paid for X premium just becsause it let me write longer posts - got affiliated with Kalshi Ecosystem and created @kalshidata (shoutout to @analystworking & @aulijk) - started growing it by sharing daily highlights on volume, trades, market share, etc - bounced back at uni after some bad midterm exams - finished the first semester in late January - stopped being a kalshi eco affiliate (they removed the badges) - joined @arespro as an affiliate to focus on prediction markets - left @arespro after realizing they were focused on memecoins - kept growing @kalshidata - had some good calls and meetings with cracked and experienced people - uni started again - competed in @forumdotmarket’s trading competitions (placed 2nd and 3rd in a few weeks) – very bullish on attention markets btw - more calls that led nowhere - got an offer to sell @kalshidata - uni took up a lot of my time, especially with lab sessions and final projects - finished uni - grew @kalshidata to 1.3k+ followers and today it’s officially been a year since I started this account on twitter it’s been a great journey so far and I want to thank @Kalshi for the opportunity they gave me, which allowed me to grow within the prediction markets industry by “building” @kalshidata (@dkposts developed the web – kalshidata dot com) I’m not really sure what my next steps will be, maybe joining a startup while I’m still at uni or building something of my own, but we’ll see I’m always happy to chat, so feel free to shoot me a DM

some of us, and probably a lot of people here, live in a bubble let me explain almost everyone knows or has touched ai at least once atp, but not everyone knows what ai is capable of out there (all of this, if you don’t live in a 3rd world country) so here’s the take/story: I have an assignment due next monday and some of my teammates (we’re a team of 4) have apparently been working on it throughout the week (I haven’t) for context, we have to do a doc and then a presentation about our work (research + conclusions + decision) this morning, I opened the folder where the work was supposed to be and guess what the work wasn’t even 40% done, and I was wondering how this was possible bc they’d been sending messages in the gc so I prompted chat gpt with everything it had to do and exactly how I wanted it done including all the requirements and specifications it had to follow and the first draft of the first assignment was done in 3 min I iterated and clarified some things I didn’t like for another 15 min and in less than 20 min I had the entire doc, with everything it needed to have, done then I gave claude the doc and told it to make the presentation, and in less than 5 min I had the presentation done, didn’t even need to iterate so I basically got work that used to take 2 days, done in less than 30 min I sent it to the gc and they were freaking out and this is literally the bottom of what ai is capable of, just imagine if they knew what it can actually do it’s basically research + putting everything together, which is exactly the kind of work ai can make insanely faster without sacrificing quality

almost a 10x compared to Sep 2025 not bad expecting a 10x from here to Sep 2027 @mansourtarek_?

over $60B in event contracts (predictions) volume last month for @Kalshi 6x compared to January btw

people: oh martins anything to back that up? me: look at @TrySoar @whop market 2 new releases and @whop is up 10%

they can’t just stop shipping new things every day @whop is on a generational run

ngl my first thought after reading this was like this is huge and game changing for some of biz owners but then I got into @whop, updated it and got into it again the announcement popped up and I checked how it actually works I read those two “what’s next” things for that neoba test project and they looked reasonable but then I clicked the dice to update the “what’s next” options and it showed me a step that wasn’t related to the neoba thing, so I clicked to expand it to see if it was a bug the explanation showed that it was actually giving me an option to take a step with something unrelated to the project so I wonder if this economic intelligence lacks context about the biz or if it was just a bug/error sharing this as feedback, but I actually thing this release is sick @whop is cooking hard

they’ve added $100B in volume in less than 40 days btw

a couple months ago I had a call with a YC founder I was excited ngl it was really ineteresting to meet him and hear how they saw their own startup there wasn’t really a specific agenda, we just wanted to meet, exchange feedback and get another perspective I quickly realized that the main goal was actually to hear how I saw the startup (feedback) and what I’d do to grow it so I shared a couple of things I thought could work well for their type of startup, including two formats that had already been proven elsewhere a few weeks later, they launched one of them I asked him if it came from the idea I had shared, and he said they had actually been working on it for a while (before we chat) fair enough, ideas are ideas, and people can arrive at the same ones independently then yesterday I noticed they had started posting the other format I had suggested so now it’s 2/2 causation or coincidence? I genuinely don’t care if they use ideas I shared, that’s literally why I shared them but if my input actually influenced what they ended up doing, I’d honestly love to know not because I want credit, but because it’d be pretty cool to know that my instincts were actually onto something if you’re reading this, I’d love to know lol

it’s seems like LinkedIn doesn’t know I grew @kalshidata to over 1.4k followers without spending a single dollar

bro wtf is it even possible that @hectorserrranoo is sitting at less than 900 followers this spaniard has too much sauce to share my friends he doesn’t even follow me, so I share this because I genuinely think this guy has too much value to share he is worth a follow context: I know him from ig

update and this is probably the last one, considering the first post was 4 days ago someone joined neoba 4 days after the “launch” test post that ended up getting 45k views so now there are 35 users in neoba, 29 if I exclude myself and @whop employees only thing I would’ve liked to do was test the creatives with @whop ads

oh wow I didn’t know I suddenly became a superstar nah joking guys I like receiving DMs, even more if I can help with anything

if you interact with @kalshidata on LinkedIn and then see a “random” spaniard guy follow/connect with you, I want to say it’s me nice to meet you oh, and 500 views on that post btw not bad

first touch with @whop hasn’t been that bad despite not even having a real product with intention of marketing it or making something that adds real value, 34 users joined neoba well, 28 if I don’t count myself and those who work at @whop no one has actually use it, but as an experiment, it went pretty well I’d have liked to see how it would have gone if I had launched the creatives I made with chat gpt but it really surprised me how fast you can launch and market a product I mean, in less than 15-20 min I had a functional “neobank” with 3 different creatives ready to launch, and all through @whop hot take: the first post got 134 bookmarks and all I did was write a ridiculous prompt for Whop AI

football is what I follow the most when it comes to sports so naturally, I want to see prediction markets for more than just the biggest games @magicmarkets has a pretty good selection of football markets from leagues around the world smaller leagues, more niche games, and football that you don’t usually see covered so, @magicmarkets is probably the prediction markets for global sports traders

$100B months are not that far away for @Kalshi btw

almost 30k views on a post I made just for fun I literally just wanted to see what @whop was capable of with just one prompt this is the first post that’s hit like this outside of my prediction markets/kalshi related content should I grow neoba and take it seriously or keep it as a test/sidequest and move on?
