Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said he made around $70,000 on Polymarket last year by committing about $440,000 and consistently betting against hype-driven outcomes. He calls this approach “anti-insanity mode,” focusing on markets fueled by irrational behavior. In an interview with Foresight News, Vitalik named Decentralized Social as his top priority for developers, followed by smarter DAOs, adding that his motivation is to curb excessive speculation, improve Ethereum, and avoid a future dominated by centralized AI.
