Ok, who are insiders for these bets:

* SpaceX IPO closing market cap above ___ ?

* Highest temperature in Amsterdam on May 26?

* Presidential Election Winner 2028

2 comments

1) Anyone at a company trading in bitcoin.

2) SpaceX employee or board member.

3) Anyone with a blow drier that knows which weather monitoring station is used.

4) Campaign insider that can sabotage their candidate's chances of winning.

You are absolutely clueless.
> What price will Bitcoin hit in May?

Quick reminder that POTUS has power to strongly influence Bitcoin price [1]

> SpaceX IPO closing market cap above ___ ?

Quick reminder that SpaceX gets most of its money from the US government [2]

To say nothing of oil and other commodities affected by war [3]

In short, an insider is literally anyone who knows what the president is going to say tomorrow.
