The first-ever NEXTPredict Summit is over 😢 But this is just the beginning. We ain’t going nowhere! I’ve become completely enamoured with prediction markets and vow to stay active in this industry. And I’m still not entirely sure what this industry even is. Finance, trading, gambling, technology, politics, sport and media have somehow all ended up at the same party. It’s wonderfully weird, and I’m hooked. What’s impressed me most, though, is the people. The entrepreneurs, the young and ridiculously passionate builders bringing their ideas to life, and the many people who’ve given their time to a complete nobody (me) in this industry. People have patiently answered my daft questions, shared their knowledge, made introductions, and asked for absolutely nothing in return. That generosity has genuinely meant a lot to me. To everyone who travelled, spoke, listened, debated, supported us, or simply took a chance on the first edition, thank you!! You made this a huge success, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I could have filled this post with pictures of packed rooms, impressive stages and important people. Instead, I’ve chosen the incredible people behind the scenes. The ones who worked ridiculous hours, solved problems nobody else saw, and somehow made the whole thing happen. They deserve far more credit than they’ll ever ask for. We’ll be back in New York on 15 April. But I hope to see many of you online, on calls or, if I’m lucky, over a coffee well before then. Because I didn’t fall for this strange world just to sell a few tickets and disappear. There are too many interesting people to meet, too many things I still don’t understand, and too many stories waiting to be told. I’m here for the long haul. So let’s keep learning. Let’s keep building. Let’s keep connecting. But first, a rest (and maybe a small, proud cry) back home in Singapore ❤️

I won’t be throwing this one away. A piece of prediction markets history 💛🖤
