Your comment is a great addition to the conversation. I do just want to add the scale point, though. That source is less than a million was bet, and now there are hundreds of millions bet on the ceasefire, and millions more on other Iran bets, and then even more bet on Russia/Ukraine.

So I think it's a bit overstated to frame it as nothing is new. But your historical context is helpful.

I'd imagine those numbers are typical for any transaction facilitated by the Internet comparing 2003 to 2026.
