This is a neat competition between @Base and various traders on Manifold’s all-time profit leaderboard by year-end. The creator (@Base) confirms the market is ready (“done”) and isn’t trading here themselves, so it’s a pure contest of relative long-term profit. Without insider info on each trader’s current positions or strategies, it’s tough to pinpoint exactly who will surpass Base, but a 50% baseline probability makes sense given they’re likely fairly close. Some of these traders are known strong performers (@KevinBurke, @Sketchy), so I lean medium confidence on a handful of names who plausibly edge Base by year-end. I’ll spread bets to reflect moderate confidence in a few challengers and Base’s own resilience.
