Prediction markets aren't gambling—they're information markets. Think about it: gambling is based on chance and emotion, while prediction markets tap into collective wisdom. You're not betting against the house; you're trading on your actual conviction about future outcomes. The mechanism rewards accurate forecasts and punishes poor ones, creating genuine price discovery. Whether it's crypto market movements, token launches, or broader blockchain adoption trends, prediction markets aggregate distributed knowledge in ways traditional surveys and polls can't match. The line gets blurry sometimes, but the underlying mechanics—incentive alignment, market discipline, information aggregation—that's what separates markets from pure luck. What's your take on this distinction?

Well... it sounds nice, but the truth is that most people entering prediction markets can't tell whether they're "trading certificates" or just "throwing a tantrum." The data will tell the truth.

In theory, it should be feasible, but I bet five dollars that I will end up at the casino...

Honestly, there's not much difference between predicting markets and gambling; both are about betting on the future.

Nah, I've heard this spiel too many times. In the end, it's just a bunch of people going all-in inside.

It sounds good, but ultimately isn't it just gambling under a different disguise? I want to see how many people are truly making money through "conviction" rather than following the trend and luck.
