Prediction markets as the new polls?

Every Warpcast user has a linked wallet and balance. So you could pin a specific prediction market to the top of a channel, or post in a cast, and allow people to express opinions with microtransactions.

People in web3 love prediction markets 

It’s like the first thing code people try to reimplement with every new stack or technology that comes out

Why do you think it hasn’t actually ever hit with users?

weird internet kid. helping Creators with /seemore. yapping on /okbanger. curating in /creators and /cameron. dev + veteran + HBS. 
seemore.tv/cameron 🫡

building /cabin, advising /clanker and /farcon | grin.io

Do you have any examples of the latter happening?

Because you need volume to make it work and as soon as yoy get volume the govt shuts you down

I use prediction markets often but sometimes I am deterred by having to lock up funds for long periods of time.

With sports betting you have frequent games that resolve quickly. 

Contrast w/ e.g. elections or "will LK-99 replicate" take months to resolve and might have a lag at the end to become "official."
