Yes - actually we already run a play money market on this and own bunch of YES shares at 1%. Hoping that the NO holders will get impatient we make money ;)
Resolution Criteria: Will Jesus Christ return in 2025?
This market will resolve to “Yes” if, by December 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM PT, there is an event widely and credibly recognized as the literal Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Such recognition must be confirmed by a consensus of credible global news outlets and at least one major world government or international authority. The event must involve a public, global acknowledgment that the individual is in fact Jesus Christ and that his return fulfills the prophetic criteria associated with the Second Coming as traditionally understood in Christian eschatology.
If no such confirmation exists by the stated time, the market will resolve to “No”.
I think first coming and second coming is just a literal thing. We can add either first coming or second coming in the criteria.
Whats most important is: Such recognition must be confirmed by a consensus of credible global news outlets and at least one major world government or international authority.
Yes - but there is a possibility that one day Trump might just say, "JD Vance is the second coming of Christ" and Fox News along with Vatican News might just confirm it to be true. 😈
Trumps tweet will pass the criteria of: one major world government
Fox News along with Vatican News confirmation will pass for: a consensus of credible global news outlets
It is a deep out of the money option, so the value of Yes will decay to 0 the closer we are to the year end. Those bidding Yes are more likely to chicken out and sell while it is above their purchase price.
@mega_dreamer, was this on your radar?

Do you want this market to be listed on Predyx?
What would the resolution criteria have to be?

So, this is only for those acknowledging a first coming, then?
What if only a minority of Christians recognize the second coming, but a majority of non-Christians recognize it as the first coming?

Hmmm, I don’t think that’s it.
It’s based on UMA’s Optimistic Oracle which essentially consists of a vote by UMA token holders.
Definitely a No for the next 6 months, then. Can you imagine what would be required for those conditions to be met?

Should we create this market?
p.s. BTW I love Trump and Fox news.
If He can't sign the PGP key then how do you know it's really Him?
My understanding is the outcome depends on whether UMA token holders agree that Jesus actually returned?
😆
That YES hitting is about as likely of hitting as @Undisciplined’s Leafs Stanley Cup YES shares were.
Sounds like you want a “Which happens first…?” market.
Oh man that’s a tough call. Haha
But what's the potential return on this strategy? I don't imagine it'd be that much better than just buying NO and waiting for a year
See section Limits to arbitrage in https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/newsletters/2025-06-05/bankruptcy-was-good-for-23andme
There are strategies for both yes and no, and neither is related to religious beliefs.
Jesus Christ is already here!
