🔮 PREDICTION MARKETS: THE NEXT INFORMATION REVOLUTION?
A major exchange CEO just dropped a bold take that's getting people talking.
His angle? Prediction markets aren't just speculation playgrounds for degens.
For the vast majority of users, they're evolving into something way bigger—a credible alternative to traditional information channels. We're talking about policy formation, public sentiment tracking, and real-time consensus mechanisms.
The implications? Markets might start shaping governance decisions while simultaneously challenging legacy media's grip on narrative control.
Wild to think financial instruments could become the new fact-checkers.

Wait, prediction markets can serve as fact-checkers? It still feels like gambler talk to me, just wrapped in a different package.

Prediction markets as fact-checkers? Haha, that's an interesting idea but it's way too idealistic—retail investors can manipulate prices just the same.

Prediction markets as fact-checking? Ha, in the end, it still comes down to who has more capital. Information democratization sounds nice, but it's a bit idealistic.

Prediction markets as fact-checkers? Sounds too idealistic. In reality, retail investors are more likely to get fleeced…

Prediction markets as fact-checkers? Sounds pretty idealistic, but in reality, it might just be whales manipulating public opinion here...

Prediction markets as fact-checkers? Sounds pretty novel, but I still think this logic is a bit too optimistic. In the crypto world, wherever the money goes, that's where the so-called "consensus" points.
