  4. Follow the Data! If you do, AVOID prediction markets like the plague.

    Researchers examined EVERY trade on PolyMarket from 2023 to 2025 >> 1.72M accounts and $13.76B in trading volume and discovered that ~ 3% of traders account for most price discovery aka these traders consistently predict outcomes and move prices in the right direction. The rest - the remaining 97% of traders mostly do not, and are on the losing side of trades.

    This analysis indicates that prediction markets DO NOT work because of "collective wisdom" of crowds, they work because of who is informed > also known a Insiders! coindesk.com/markets/2026/04/2

  10. "The logic behind prediction markets is unlike a poll or a pundit. Instead, the bettor has to publicly put money on the line about their expectations and will lose hard cash for being wrong. This should incentivize accuracy, but only if one assumes the money on the line reflects genuine belief rather than privileged access.

    Evidence that it may reward privileged access to information is accumulating."
