This guy went from selling his furniture to building a $15 billion empire 📈💰 Shayne Coplan drops out of NYU after one semester and spends two years grinding on crypto projects that go nowhere. By 2020 he's so broke he's listing his own furniture on eBay to make rent. Then COVID hits and nobody knows what's going to happen. When does this end? When do schools reopen? When is the vaccine coming? Every newspaper and TV channel gives a different answer, and no one is accountable for any of it. So he locks himself in his bathroom and builds Polymarket, a site where you bet real money on real-world questions. The first one: when does New York City reopen? ✓ Makes every wrong answer cost you money, so people actually do the research ✓ Turns crowd predictions more accurate than any expert on earth ✓ Shows Trump winning at 70% in 2024 while every major poll calls the race a tie, and gets it right ✓ Draws $3.6 billion wagered on that single question Broke, selling furniture on eBay → nobody's accountable for their predictions → builds a market where being wrong costs you → beats every pollster in 2024 → FBI raids him, charges dropped → $2B from NYSE's parent → $15B valuation. Sometimes the truth comes out only when people have to put money behind their opinions. What would people be far more honest about if being wrong cost them money? 🤔 #Business #Polymarket #Prediction #Success #Entrepreneur @Polymarket @polymarketsports - @theventure
