Vitalik Buterin called prediction markets the "antidote" to social media's exaggerated opinions, citing Elon Musk’s claim of an "inevitable" UK civil war versus a 3% Bitcoin price prediction on Polymarket. He argued that real money stakes in prediction markets lead to more rational public opinion than unaccountable social media posts. Buterin emphasized that financial consequences encourage better thinking, contrasting with the wild speculation common online.
