Every day I review 2–3 Kalshi energy, science and tech markets where I think the outcome is clearer than the odds suggest. I’ve forecast on Metaculus and Manifold since 2019: 6,596 predictions, a best-ever #8 of 34,617 Baseline Accuracy rank on Metaculus, and a Brier score of 0.071 vs the Metaculus site’s 0.080 (Oct 2023).

I’ve made 2,000+ predictions on Metaculus and ranked as high as #8 of 34,000 for baseline accuracy. In this second Kalshi review I go through three markets: who becomes the second trillionaire, who will be the top 3 wealthiest people at the end of 2026, and whether China overtakes the US economy by 2030. Before that, I cover the SpaceX Q3 2026 earnings call and the Minihard data-center math: about $13B to build, about $26.7B a year per GB300 Minihard, and roughly 3× that with Rubin.
