Bullish on newspapers
Zcash is getting the full-page treatment in today’s Wall Street Journal. Grayscale has taken out a front-page ad promoting Zcash, along with another full-page ad inside highlighting its Zcash investment fund (ZCSH).

The continued feud between Waller and Warsh is so funny. Waller going out of his way to give very specific forward guidance here:

I must be reading the rules wrong: Resolves Yes if Anthropic confirms an IPO before Dec 1, 2026.Outcome verified from the New York Times, ABC, Bloomberg and 5 others. An IPO is confirmed if: 1) the SEC declares the company's Form S-1 effective OR 2) the IPO is priced OR 3) a securities exchange has assigned a ticker to it. As long as any of those events occur, the market will immediately resolve to Yes, even if the company does not start trading until after Dec 1, 2026.
What traders expect for an Anthropic IPO: before Nov 16 mid 2.5%, before Dec 1 mid 94.0%, before Jan 1 mid 96.5%

“In the meantime, all I think I know is this: Polls inform models, models inform trades, strawberry jam over grape jelly for the sandwich.” -@jeffedelstein
Last week’s fevered discussion about polls and models vs. prediction markets in the wake of the midterms is the most idiotic fevered discussion between normally smart people that @jeffedelstein has ever seen or heard. When you have one side claiming the polls and the models were the clear winners, and another side saying the prediction markets were the clear winners, maybe that means both sides are missing a bigger truth.
