Vitalik Buterin is optimistic about the development potential of prediction markets. According to his perspective, prediction markets are referred to as the "antidote" to misinformation. This statement has sparked widespread attention within the community—how can prediction mechanisms based on economic incentives help users discern truth from falsehood in an age of information overload? Prediction markets discover factual truths by allowing participants to wager based on real information, and this market-based method of information verification seems more difficult to manipulate compared to traditional media or self-media claims. From a technical standpoint, Blockchain enhances the transparency and credibility of prediction markets. This viewpoint also reflects that, in the Web3 ecosystem, in addition to DeFi and NFT, prediction markets are gradually becoming a new direction for innovative applications, which is worth following.

A prediction market is essentially just gambling dressed up nicely; money is the best truth tester, and I agree with that.

I am optimistic about the prediction market direction, it's much more reliable than listening to the media bragging about amazing things; betting real money will force the truth out.

Prediction markets sound good, but can they really solve the information problem? To put it bluntly, it still comes down to money; wealthy people have more say.
