Ah, yes, then we have succeeded in normalizing the idea that you should be able to create a market, trade in it, and then resolve it according to your own judgment.

Only Scott Alexander saw the value in users creating and resolving their own markets. He awarded us the ACX grant, shared the link to our prototype with his readers, and the rest is history!

Yeah, the idea that self-resolution and insider trading don’t require central regulation to manage does seem more like a novelty, that’s fair.
