Prediction markets are entering a major growth phase. What started as a niche betting mechanism is fundamentally shifting. These platforms are no longer just about probability guessing or wagering outcomes—they're becoming something more substantial.
The real evolution? Prediction markets are transforming into legitimate information pricing infrastructure. Think of it as crowd wisdom crystallized into actual market signals. When thousands of participants stake real capital on outcomes, their collective judgment becomes a highly efficient price discovery mechanism.
This shift changes everything. Instead of relying solely on traditional surveys or analyst forecasts, decision-makers can tap into these decentralized expectation markets. The signals are sharper, the incentives are real, and the data reflects genuine market sentiment.
We're watching prediction markets mature from a curiosity into a critical tool for organizations, traders, and policy makers seeking authentic forward-looking information.

I've been optimistic about this track for a long time—the true information pricing engine. But it depends on whether it can truly become a mainstream tool in the future. Right now, it's still too niche, isn't it?

Wow, isn't this just legitimizing gambling? Real money is the ultimate truth serum.

This is really not gambling anymore. I buy into the idea of information pricing infrastructure.

Basically, it's just gambling disguised as a financial instrument, but to be fair, it's definitely more reliable than a survey.

Honestly, this is just disguising a casino as a price discovery mechanism. It sounds impressive but it's still the same old thing.
Real information pricing? It depends on whether big players are throwing money in. Small investors' judgments will be crushed, that's a given.
The prediction market became popular purely because everyone wants to get a free ride. Don't hype it up as something sacred.
This logic is exactly the same as the rhetoric used during the 2017 ICO... History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes, right?
