What's the deal with the close date when it says permanent?

 Sorry just noticed what you mean. Fixed.

 Don't you have to have one? I was just gonna push it out further if Manifold still exists then.

This is a permanent market; it will never resolve. The goal is for you to use it to express your own opinions and/or turn a profit by predicting other people's opinions. Bet YES if you're in favor of the subject of the market or believe other people will come to have a more favorable opinion of it in the future, bet NO if you view the subject of the market unfavorably or believe others will come to view it as such.

This market is about the Crystal Ballin' podcast.
