Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says prediction markets are healthier than traditional markets and social media debates. He argues that these markets create accountability by linking beliefs to real financial outcomes. With prices capped between 0 and 1, they reduce hype and speculative behavior. Buterin also points out that prediction markets are more truth-focused than crypto social media buzz, where bold claims often go unchecked. He adds that the bounded pricing helps avoid the reflexive swings seen in stock markets. This view reflects growing interest in how crypto social sentiment can be better measured and managed.
