Vitalik Buterin called prediction markets an "antidote" to social media hype, citing Elon Musk’s claim of an "inevitable" UK civil war. On Farcaster, he noted Polymarket’s 3% Bitcoin price prediction for such an event in 2024. Buterin argued that social media lacks accountability, while prediction markets use real money to push for accuracy. He said these platforms offer a more rational way to assess public sentiment than mainstream or social media.
