Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum (ETH), recently shared his thoughts on decentralized prediction market platforms. He believes that these platforms are not a form of gambling and, instead, play a useful role in objectively understanding what will happen in the future. Buterin argued that decentralized prediction market platforms allow the public to recognize the importance of certain events. This is different from social media or news websites, which often contain the bias of the editor. By providing a neutral platform for people to bet on the outcome of events, decentralized prediction market platforms can help us to better understand the world around us.
