Ok we all love polymarket. But can we talk about what can be better with the product?

@shayne curious to hear your perspective on this and beyond

I’ll go first. I find polymarket is really meant for pro traders with its market/limit orders, order book etc. 

For me that’s intimidating to the newbies and goes away from its claim of a platform to seek “wisdom of the crowds”

I think continuous prediction markets are great! No doubt! However, they can't be enabled without having a market maker. And that i fear is where there temptation to make the platform more "pro-trader friendly" is strong.

Kalshi has a great experience for non-binary predictions where they'll have several contracts with increasing thresholds. Good way to get an estimate of a continuous outcome.
