I briefly worked for a guy who made millions a few years out of college speculating his entire net worth on corn fields in Iowa when the Obama admin was looking to buy up land for ethanol production facilities. At the time, he was working on a relatively interesting crypto backed prediction market intended to mine data from skilled professionals.

Hope you're doing well Matt!
