Two weeks ago, the CFTC gave Polymarket the green light to allow those very same US residents to place bets on whatever they like. This is quite the turn of events — and it’s not just about elections or politics. With its US government seal of approval in hand, Polymarket is reportedly raising capital at a valuation of $9 billion — a reflection of the growing belief that prediction markets will be used for much more than betting on elections once every four years. Instead, proponents say prediction markets can provide a real service to the world by providing it with better information about nearly everything. I think they might, too — but only if insiders are free to participate. Yesterday, for example, Polymarket announced new betting markets on company earnings reports, with a promise that it would improve the information that investors have to work with.  Instead of waiting three months to find out how a company is faring, investors could simply watch the odds on Polymarket.  If the probability of an earnings beat is rising, for example, investors would know at a glance that things are going well. But that will only happen if enough of the people betting actually know how things are going. Relying on the wisdom of crowds to magically discern how a business is doing won’t add much incremental knowledge to the world; everyone’s guesses are unlikely to average out to the truth. If…

The post This Exclusive Cayman Getaway Tastes As Good As It Feels appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. 1OAK’s Sand Soleil sits on Grand Cayman’s iconic Seven Mile Beach 1OAK Exhausted and professionally burnt out, I arrived at 1OAK’s Sand Soleil in search of the type of restoration that could still my mind and get me writing again. The seven-day culinary experience was a no-brainer for me as a food writer. The integration of an epicurean getaway with pure Cayman luxury seemed to be the perfect spark for my creativity—private chef dinners, deep dives into Caribbean flavors, and hands-on masterclasses, all located within a serene, oceanfront villa. I had finally arrived. With the last rays of the sun setting behind Grand Cayman’s famous Seven Mile Beach, casting a warm golden glow across the water, I tasted Chef Joe Hughes’ ceviche for the first time—cubes of wahoo cured in lime, with charred pineapple and a subtle, nutty crunch. Chef Joe Hughes’ love for bright, Asian-inspired flavours came through in this wahoo tataki layered with Vietnamese herbs, ripe papaya and mango, cashew and cilantro, all brought together with a nuoc cham. Jamie Fortune Something softened. For the first time in months, I began to feel present. Sophia List, the brainchild of the 1OAK experience, heard me well. With an intuition honed by years of curating luxury, she matched me with what she called “a vision realized.” List told me Sand Soleil—like the other 1OAK homes on Seven Mile Beach and in West Bay—was created to feel like a real sanctuary. For her, it’s the laid-back alternative to a busy hotel, a place where you get privacy and elegance without any fuss. “We wanted to introduce the Cayman Islands to something truly special—an ultra-luxury experience that combines exquisite design, maximum privacy, and a sense of calm,” she shared as she guided me through the four-bedroom villa. “We are so excited to…
