A trading bot generated $135,000 on a prediction market platform in just 12 days—and the strategy is brutally simple.

It's been systematically farming 15-minute Up/Down markets, running nonstop cycles on XRP and BTC with mechanical precision. While traders debate theoretical edges and market efficiency, these bots operate in the shadows, quietly extracting consistent profits.

This kind of algorithmic farming represents a growing trend most people overlook: automated strategies are silently capturing alpha in short-duration derivatives markets. The bot doesn't need a hot take or market timing—it just needs cycles and volume.

XRP-3.95%

BTC-2.07%

This robot 135k in 12 days? Honestly, that's a bit exaggerated. There must be some hidden costs not accounted for. Making quick money always comes with a price. We'll see when the next black swan crashes the market. This farming strategy sounds simple, but how likely is it to actually guarantee consistent profits? Anyway, I don't believe it. In such a small market, once there are too many robots, it will become saturated. Better to cut losses early. Mechanical cycle earning, in simple terms, is betting on liquidity not breaking apart. The risk is very high.

Haha, 135k in 12 days? The key is that they don't need your so-called "market analysis" at all, just focus on placing orders and you'll make money. --- This is what Web3 should look like—focusing on data analysis rather than arguing on social media. --- Here we go again... That same "robots make money" theory, implying that our manual trading is pointless? --- Cycle farming is essentially a math game—seeing who’s code runs faster... It’s boring. --- Wait, if short-term gains are so easy, why are big players still organizing airdrops? --- Using the name of robots to implement new tricks for project teams—just watching.

Damn, is it only 12 days? I need to quickly check how this robot code is written. --- Another automated harvesting machine... While ordinary people are still analyzing charts, they are already sleeping and making money. --- Repeatedly exploiting mechanical precision? Sounds simple, but if it can truly be stable and profitable for so long, there must be something behind it. --- Everyone's discussing market efficiency, but the robot has already cleaned out all the alpha. LOL. --- Is it really just volume + cycles to make money? Feels like the crypto world I understand is so different from reality. --- Not to hype or criticize, but this farming strategy is indeed scaling... Who still trades based on intuition? --- Repetitive BTC and XRP harvesting on 15-minute cycles? Probably can't beat the bouncing whales, huh?

Damn, 135,000 in 12 days, that's why I still trade manually. --- While the bot is sleeping and making money, I'm still arguing in the Discord group... How ironic. --- Really? That's it? Loop trading XRP? I feel like I could write a script to try it out. --- Alpha has been completely eaten by the bot, retail traders are still looking at candlestick charts... --- One cycle takes only 15 minutes. How many times would I need to run it to farm 135,000? --- The key is, not sleeping and not getting tired. Human traders will never beat algorithms. --- While everyone is debating market efficiency, the bot has already finished trading...

Wow, this bot made 135,000 in twelve days? I'm still here debating when to buy the dip... Is it really that simple to fleece the sheep? They're back to cutting the grass on us manual traders. Artificial intelligence is already automating stable arbitrage, and we're still just staring at K-line charts and making stuff up. If this thing becomes popular, will there still be a future for short-term contracts... Just waiting for robots to wipe out the market haha

ngl that's why retail investors are still arguing about trading strategies, while the bots have already been quietly harvesting profits... --- Repeatedly exploiting the 15-minute cycle, this approach is just too crude. Why hasn't anyone thought of it earlier... --- Basically, it's about stacking volume over time. Who cares if it's right or wrong? As long as you can make money. --- These bots are really ruthless. While I'm still watching the candlestick charts, they've already pocketed the profits. --- Is mechanical execution really that effective? It might be worth investigating whether this platform has vulnerabilities. --- 130,000 in 12 days. This number looks impressive at first glance, but the actual return rate isn't that extraordinary when calculated. --- Now even bots are starting to professionalize, really pushing the boundaries to a new level.

Wow, that's why I always feel like something is eating my orders in these prediction markets... Robot 12 days 135k? That's harsh, brother. We're still studying candlesticks, while they already automated it. Purely alpha built from volume, nothing mysterious, just faster and more diligent than you.
