Prediction Markets as Truth Engines

Twitter debates never end. Prediction markets do. You can argue forever about whether AI will replace programmers, whether remote work kills productivity, whether Bitcoin will hit $200k by year-end. These debates loop because there's no cost to being wrong. But put $100 on the table - suddenly the conversation changes. Prediction markets force clarity. Not because money makes people smarter, but because it makes them honest. When your wallet depends on being right, you stop performing for the audience and start thinking for yourself. This is why I'm obsessed with OpenBets.
