Can relate to this.

I have a child and is going to have another one this year. I have this crazy idea that is big if true but 99.9% it would fail. I would totally do it if I was without a family. This idea is VC type idea.

Now I am working on some idea that is 99% going to feed my family but it is boring as hell and no VC would look at it.

what's the crazy idea? I don't have investor money but I might mention it to the right person.

I want to solve the problem that it's difficult for people to predict the future with skin in the game.

My idea is to create a prediction market where people bet on REAL world events under REAL name with FAKE money. All predictions are public and we can rank every user's prediction ability in each category by his ROI.

I have created a MVP where people bet on cryptos: https://rankvestor.com/. I wanted to start with finantial market.

Now I have to stop this project because I am moving my family to Japan because I don't believe in the future of China. I have to work for a Japan company to keep my visa. In my spare time, I work on a Japanese study app that gives me some money every month.

BTW, if anyone likes this idea, feel free to take it and implement it :)

Interesting. I got around this by just betting very small amounts of real money - here's a video from my channel where I document my activities on that front: https://vistacaretech.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/engineering/Ea-py...

There is a 0.1% chance they will tell you.

Heh, and sometimes that 0.1% does happen. ;)
