Prediction markets are thinly disguised opinion markets. The bets people place are akin to speech, reflecting the formatting of their consciousness. Their predictions of the future are really projections of their individual reality. Currently the most popular prediction markets (politics and sports) are the ones where people have the most strongly-held opinions. It’s about feelings not about facts.
Prediction markets are capital markets for intelligence. The subsidy provided by the market maker is the price of information. The positive externalities are huge: open sourcing event forecasting. Elections are just the beginning.
So nostr is finally getting attacked… I wonder for how long this has been going on… I also wonder if nostr will survive or if it will be subverted and undermined…
Bitcoinprediction.market now has a graph to visualise event forecasting. The market is bullish on a Trump win. image
