According to Foresight News, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently tweeted about the unique position of Polymarket in addressing real-world social issues. He noted that Polymarket's growth aligns with significant societal challenges, such as the widespread distrust in partisan media in the United States and other regions anticipated in 2024. Buterin posed a question about which specific large-scale social problems could be addressed by crypto technology now or in the near future. He emphasized the potential for crypto to provide solutions in scenarios where centralized institutions are failing, untrusted, or widely considered harmful, and where there is a significant demand to bypass these institutions.
