Unpopular opinion: prediction platforms aren't just gambling—they're actually mechanisms for pricing conviction.

Here's what shifts: when a position can pull 10x returns, hype noise collapses real fast. People stop talking and start thinking.

But the real puzzle sits here: Does this activity reveal genuine market signal, or just amplify whoever holds stronger conviction?

That's where it gets interesting.

Wake up, basically it's just a fancy way for rich people's casino.

That's what they say, but those with strong conviction are often the ones with more funds; in the end, money still talks.

Basically, it's still a gambler's mentality. As long as you can make money, who cares about beliefs.

To be honest, I haven't really thought about conviction pricing from this perspective, but I truly understand how a 10x return can shut people up.

Ultimately, it's still information asymmetry. Big players always profit at the expense of small investors.

conviction pricing is just signal laundering with extra steps. real markets don't need prediction platforms to find truth—they need battle-tested infrastructure and validators who actually stake skin in the game.
