Right now I'm staring at multiple tabs of live Counter-Strike matches - a game I've literally never cared about before. And get this: my second monitor is tracking real-time temperature readings from some random train station in London.

Why? Prediction markets.

These platforms have me monitoring the most bizarre data points just to stay ahead of market movements. One minute you're analyzing esports match statistics you don't understand, the next you're checking weather sensors halfway across the globe for some niche betting position.

It's wild how these decentralized betting protocols can completely rewire your information consumption habits. You start caring about things purely because there's a market for them. Is this peak degen behavior or just the natural evolution of on-chain speculation?
