The short-term BTC markets are intentionally our starting point because they're simple, fast, and work well with Lightning's instant settlement capabilities.
It's true that over very short timeframes, price action can look a lot like a random walk. For many users, the appeal isn't necessarily that they have a predictive edge but it's that they can participate in a market, get a result in seconds, and settle instantly in Bitcoin without needing a bank account or going through a lengthy onboarding process.
As for Predyx, it's great to see more projects exploring Lightning-powered prediction markets. Our focus is on creating the smoothest possible Lightning-native experience, from funding to settlement.
And yes, we're exploring additional market types beyond short-term BTC price action. The broader vision is to expand into other prediction and event-based markets while keeping the same instant, Lightning-first user experience.
