Ever wonder why prediction markets suddenly got so much mainstream media coverage? Here's a thought: maybe they're the perfect playground for insiders who already know what's coming. Corporate execs sitting on non-public info could easily position themselves before the rest of us even smell the smoke.



The whole "wisdom of crowds" narrative sounds great until you realize some participants have way more wisdom than others—the kind you can't Google. These platforms aren't just reflecting public sentiment; they might be weaponizing information asymmetry in a completely legal-looking package.

Just throwing that out there. Make of it what you will.

Damn, isn't this just insider trading with a different name? And it's even the legal kind.

Same old trick of exploiting information asymmetry... prediction markets are just tools for insiders to fleece retail investors.

To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical about the current "wisdom of the crowd" narrative in prediction markets. Information asymmetry simply can't be completely eliminated by platform rules. Looking back at financial markets throughout history, it's always been like this—no matter how elegant the mechanism design is, insiders still manage to front-run.
