Hey Manifold Community!

Kalshi has reached out to us asking for our help!

We have 3 days to get as many comments as possible in support of their filing to allow real money prediction markets on which political party will be in control in the US. This would be a huge win for prediction markets!

You can submit a comment here.

Once you've submitted a comment, go to this bounty question and post a screenshot and I will give you 200 mana. This is how I will be keeping track of how many people from Manifold have submitted a comment and will resolve to however many bounties I have awarded.

Bet on the filing in question:

If you aren't sure what to write on the comment, I'd suggest getting GPT to write one for you.

Here's one I spent 2 minutes prompting GPT to write for me:

Dear CFTC Commissioners,

I write with enthusiasm regarding your request for comments on KalshiEX LLC's Congressional Control Contracts. I am a staunch supporter of these prediction markets for their unmatched accuracy in reflecting live probabilities that react swiftly to current events.

Prediction markets are more than just forecasting tools - they are crucial mechanisms that help correct over-hyped news and media narratives. By aggregating a wide range of views, they offer an invaluable 'outside view' of events, providing a baseline that individuals can use to form a more accurate understanding of our complex and rapidly evolving political climate.

In a time of information overload, these markets serve as a beacon of rationality and evidence-based prediction. They counterbalance sensationalist narratives and contribute to a healthier, more nuanced understanding of politics. This not only benefits market participants but also the public at large, fostering a more informed and engaged citizenry.

I understand and appreciate the importance of stringent regulation and oversight to prevent misuse. As the CFTC weighs the issue of KalshiEX LLC's Congressional Control Contracts, I implore the Commission to see the immense potential these markets offer for the public good and to find a balance between innovation and protection.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
