Predictive market data is often more honest than public opinion. Looking at the trade on Polymarket regarding a certain political figure acquiring an island in the North Atlantic before 2027, the price hovers around 15%—this probability alone says everything.
There are no official negotiations, no negotiation frameworks, let alone historical precedents. The whole thing originated from a tweet that sparked a joke, which later gradually evolved into a topic of public discussion. But it is precisely this "virtual" aspect that traders have used real money to vote with.
The interesting part is that prediction market participants use their wallets to vote, quantifying the probability. That 15% is neither an absolute denial nor close to mainstream expectations—it accurately reflects how difficult this event truly is in reality. The transparency of on-chain data makes every bet a genuine judgment by market participants about the future.

What does the 15% figure indicate? It means that this thing is basically impossible, but not entirely ruled out.

Ha, a 15% probability is priced in just like that, indicating that people in the crypto world are still somewhat rational (laughs)

Twitter jokes can turn into prophecies, this is the magic of Web3

Wallets don't lie, they are more honest than any press spokesperson

Wait, is someone really betting on this? I thought it was just an internet meme

On-chain data is the strongest poll, decentralized voting is yyds

15% is neither high nor low, it feels like "a small possibility but not entirely impossible"

This is true democracy, everyone’s one vote, money talks

Prediction markets > traditional media, I mean

From tweets to trading pairs, it's really amazing, Web3 just loves this set

No way, 15%... Are these people really willing to bet that much?
