Sorry you didn't make it. Don't give up.

@AlexbGoode Haha. Next year at the latest.

@NicoDelon Spoken like a true addict.

@AlexbGoode Indeed

Everyone deserves an update. To be frank, and for better or worse, I'm afraid I won't even be able to retire by the end of the year. I've kept accumulating positions and liquidating everything in the next two weeks would be time-consuming. Who knows what might happen after the new year though!

LOVE THIS

I’ve recently lost interest in Manifold, especially in investing in it longterm. I no longer enjoy it as much as I used to; it’s eating up way too much of my time; I’ve found recent user trends especially annoying; and I don’t think I’ve earned the favors of Manifold staff for raising my voice about certain things. All in all, I’m spending a lot of time I could be spending in much more fruitful ways. My plan is to liquidate most of my positions over the next few months. I doubt I’ll liquidate all of them before the end of the year, and I have large positions in markets I’d like to see resolved before I quit. When I’ve collected profits from those markets, I’ll give away most of my balance to charities and then phase out my involvement until all my own markets are resolved. It’s been fun but overall I don’t think the opportunity costs are justified.

But your calibration is still so beautiful... 🥲

@Joshua I’m gonna frame it and hang it in my office.

@NicoDelon Same thing happened for me. I liquidated most of my positions and donated my balance in July. I also mostly stopped creating markets. However, somehow I am still here. Good luck quitting. Let me know how you did it :)

I hope not!
