    On Florida's prediction-market boom
    "Florida is the single most active state for prediction-market signups outside California and New York — three million Mexican-American Floridians, no state-licensed sportsbook outside Hard Rock, and a population that already understands odds. Kalshi and Polymarket walked into a vacuum."
    On Kalshi vs Polymarket
    "Kalshi has the regulatory moat — a CFTC-registered DCM available in all 50 states, on every device. Polymarket has the brand and the iOS-only US relaunch via QCX. They're not competing for the same trader yet."
    On the legal vs sports-betting framing
    "Calling event contracts 'sports betting' is a category error. They're CFTC-regulated derivatives — the same legal framework as oil futures or interest-rate swaps. State gaming regulators are pushing back, but federal preemption keeps winning in court."
