It can be seen from the early financing layout of the Polymarket project. During the ICO phase, the team self-mined to accumulate chips, and the subsequent full takeover method is indeed worth alerting players.

Recently, I have figured out the financing tricks of this project: choosing low FDV numbers and reporting high fundraising scales—these are common tactics to attract retail investors. These two data points are the easiest to hide tricks.

Compared to similar projects in the industry, early participants in this type of financing mode often see significant differences in returns. To make a fortune in the prediction market track, the key is to understand the true intentions of the project team and the funding chain.

It's the same old trick again, with FDV inflated to raise funds and then reported lower, retail investors are always the last bagholders.

It's the same old trick again, no wonder retail investors are getting wiped out one after another.

This trick is indeed old-fashioned; playing with FDV and fundraising data can easily attract retail investors. It's the same self-mining and absorbing activity; the market's track is too complex to predict. You still need to look at the funding chain; otherwise, the risk of stepping into a trap is too high. Early participants make little money; most are just being cut off.

Another scheme to cut leeks: reporting FDV low to raise funds and hyping it up high. Old trick.

It's the same old trick, the team mines and hyped themselves up then dumps on retail investors. I've seen it too many times. FDV low, fundraising high? Classic tactic, someone always falls for it. Polymarket this time is really dirty, you need to see the fund flow clearly before making a move. Funding data is the easiest to manipulate, you need to keep your eyes open. Early participants profit, latecomers are just taking the leftovers, nothing new. Prediction markets sound fancy, but really it's just about who can run faster.
