Prediction markets have resonated with me since I started in crypto 12 yrs ago. It was initially bc I was a degen & wanted quick cash. Now I’m using prediction markets daily not to bet but as an info consumer to better understand the world. Augur, Veil & others failed. Polymarket now working. How can we accelerate?

The stock market is a prediction market on the future value of companies, and it’s often irrational and inaccurate, especially around emotionally charged topics. Won’t prediction markets suffer the same fate?

Prediction markets that allow people to gain indirect exposure to private companies via publicly verifiable and hard-to-fake metrics. E.g. go long Farcaster by betting on Warpcast DAU growth.

been trying to wrap my head around: 1) does it matter that someone bets on the underdog because the potential payout is outsized, not because they believe they’ll win? 2) how is a "prediction market" different from sports betting? isn’t it just a fancy term to describe the same thing wrt other aspects of society?

With frames, could you cast a particular prediction market to get it more visibility and let people enter that market via the frame?

Its currently a pretty big market on the sports side (draftkings at 15b valuation, ~50 million users), but i'm excited to see prediction markets for all aspects of life. I like your thoughts on using it to better understand the world. In a sea of clickbait info, it provides 'value' and 'confidence' to information.

For a prediction market to succeed, it is essential to ensure unrestricted market creation and decentralized settlement of wagers. Otherwise, it will be similar to some betting company with crypto deposits.

Used all of them, maybe the very first user of all of them :). Poly is good now, but Augur was one of if not the only trustless solution here. Quite strange to see that funders stopped funding the project. Despite the fact that Augur didnt receive enough traction, it was a unique project that had no analogues.

The social aspect of prediction markets really appears to be what is key - mobile betting platforms capitalize on this well. It's an augmentation of the typical watching experience + local social behavior + ecosystem around it (podcasts, youtube, etc)
