1confirmation Founder: Breaking Seed Round Investment Scope to Increase Position in Polymarket, "Tokens Are Dead" Does Not Hold

BlockBeats News, November 11, 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino posted that the fund has participated in every previous round of Polymarket financing and will continue to increase its position. He pointed out that 1confirmation is a seed-stage fund, and investing in later rounds was originally outside its investment scope, but this time it still chose to break its own principles.

The reasons Tomaino gave include: people have been putting real money on the line to express their views on politics, culture, and other issues for more than 100 years, and in the age of artificial intelligence, the biggest problem young people face is discerning what is real. A product that can turn trading and investment enthusiasm into better information and more truth is unique. Polymarket is far more than sports prediction, and it is not just a globalized product. Right now the U.S. market has high enthusiasm for sports events, but better sports prediction is not the most durable part of prediction markets. Politics, geopolitics, and cultural information and truth are the reasons for its existence. Most young people he has spoken with in real life believe that Polymarket is already in a class of its own at this level.

Tomaino also said that the idea that "tokens are dead" does not hold. Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan has an extremely strong desire to win and is direct, transparent, and real.

This is a statement from an investor explaining why he continues to support Polymarket.
