Cryptocurrency anarchists have dreamed of assassinating markets, but the concept of a war market has never truly been realized. Interestingly, if you want to prevent a powerful leader from taking an aggressive geopolitical action, the most direct way is to pour billions of dollars into prediction markets to bet against them. This seemingly absurd logic actually reflects a reality: when enough capital starts voting with data, market signals can influence decisions more than traditional diplomacy.

Throwing money into voting is more effective than negotiation? That's a brilliant logic. The ultimate form of capitalism must be like this, haha.

Ha, this logic is so absurd that I almost believe it... Is voting with money more effective than diplomacy?

Wow, this logic is amazing... Intervening in geopolitics directly with money is way more effective than the United Nations, haha.

ngl the "data voting" angle is hilariously naive... statistically speaking, geopolitical actors don't care about prediction market signals when their regime survival's on the line. per my analysis, this treats markets like they're some neutral arbiter when they're really just capital concentration with better spreadsheets. taxonomy error imho

Wow, this logic is amazing. Using money to vote really works better than diplomatic rhetoric. But the question is, who has that much USD to throw around?
