By my count, Daniel has bought $345 of mana, while I've paid $480 to Beeminder last year!

predicted NO

@Austin Ooh, it was close! I'm so happy about everything about this (I mean like us both being serious users of both Beeminder and Manifold, not you spending more than me!) and it has me excited about Beeminder adding Manifold as an autodata integration...

Oh, clarification! Austin means how much he will personally pay as a user of Beeminder vs what I'll pay personally as a user of Manifold. Pretty sure I've paid more so far!

I think anyone saying that the median outcome of Manifold is higher right now is dramatically underestimating the difficulty of both Manifold successfully growing to e.g. 100x its current userbase and Manifold finding any way to profit from the growth. I think the EV of Manifold may well be higher, because prediction markets seem to me to have a bigger potential ceiling than Beeminder's gadget, but not the median outcome. Also, the end of 2022 is a short timeframe.
predicted NO
(Derivative market idea: Can I profit by just buying enough mana to outpace Austin's Beeminder spending and betting accordingly in this market?) (I guess just asking the question will drive down the market probability here...)
