if news sources had reported their predictions as a % rather than a binary "this will/wont happen", do you think @polymarket would still get this much hype?

That’s a very interesting thought experiment. Of what polymarket’s core-est value prop is. I do still think polymarket would be differentiated even in this case in that (1) the % moves and (2) it is derived from a crowd rather than single source. (At the moment, I think people could care less that it’s crypto.)

I think that would give polymarket even more hype bc news sources would essentially be speaking the exact same language that people betting on outcomes do

They do with polls….but things become a hell of a lot more accurate when there is $$ at risk….thats why @polymarket matters and is relevant. People don’t lie when they have skin in the game

Hard to tell about if same level hype. But still valuable because one is the prediction of an expert, and the other is the prediction of the collective.

tempted to say yes because you are shifting the paradigm of the masses (thinking/betting in probabilities) so you grow the entire prediction market vertical (Polymarket and its competitors).
