This is war, people are dying not a subject for bet
We hear you. War is tragic and real lives are affected - no argument there. But prediction markets are not about making light of suffering, they’re tools for forecasting, accountability, and sometimes exposing uncomfortable truths governments don’t want discussed.
No one’s cheering for conflict.

This is going to be an important PR project at some point: how to distinguish prediction markets from traditional betting.
reply
Calling them bets or wagers instead of predictions probably doesn’t help lol
Also indicating it’s for degens is also probably not great haha
reply
That’s certainly true and it’s not like there’s no gambling or betting involved.
The point of prediction markets is different than gambling, though, which is relevant here.

I totally agree. I’m mostly just commenting on how it’s presented which can affect perception
reply
It will be a tough sell if we keep joking about being a bunch of degenerates.
That’s fun though, so I’d like to keep doing it.
tbh betting like this, feels like betting for a game which war isn't

Will this bet help the people at war?
reply
they can at least get some real information - unlike what our mainstream media doesn't provide. No matter where is the world you live, the mainstream media has just become a propaganda machine.

Anyway i hope it goes well (i can only hope)
