I can't imagine that the US gov would allow any kind of real anarchic crowd activity to happen online. Because then people could have real discussions, and make real changes to the system that control grid has so carefully manicured over the decades.
They don't want us f*cking around in their garden you guys. It's a botanical garden. You can look but you can't touch. You don't get to dig. You don't get to plant. You don't get to harvest. It's there to entertain and not be mutated by your activities.
Social media, ecommerce, search engines, meetup apps for all causes, financial applications for trading online...in traditional markets and new fin-tech markets (dApps, crypto lending, etc), and prediction markets
I'm old enough to know when they SHUT DOWN prediction markets. It was like "how DARE you plebs bet on the future happenings....you might just get the idea that you can control the outcomes and put your thumbs on scales to make money.....THAT IS OUR JOB"
Now they let you play in prediction markets all day long
Why is that?
Because its fake anarchy
It's fake personal agency
It's all illusion
They manipulate using the backdoor.
Just like the exchange rates of crypto. Have you ever thought about how that value is set?
Tell me. Tell me in great detail how the value of crypto (exhcange rate to fiat / usd) is set.
Tell me if that rate can be manipulated by 'whales' dumping their crypto for usd, and doing it at a specific time and with a specific coordination with others in order to short a crypto that is 'algorithmically managed' (this is what happened to LUNA if you recall)
There are ai agents that are feeless trading behind the exchanges (because they are run by the exchange) and sometimes making BAD exchanges in order to gain a better transaction in the future.
Now what if I told you those AI agents were fake AI and just people; and instead of crypto trading they were manipulating the actual odds on Prediction markets.
Conclusion: we're cats and the prediction markets are the latest laser pointer....look here, not there.. Look there, not here.
It's a new form of polling manipulation
Am I implying that the government are big tech big data fin tech market gangster criminals?
well.....DOY
I agree with this assessment, and would posit that if it's software of any kind developed here in the U.S., a backdoor is given to the alphabet before it's allowed to go to the public. NSA has claimed this is how [they] "protect" us against cyber-harm.
The betting markets had Clinton at 85%....just for perspective
Any prediction market that is controlled and not real will eventually have results that do not match reality which will be noticed and it will get a bad reputation and get ignored. So trying to do anything like that is useless and not a problem. It is a nothing berg.
Summed up nicely..Let's stop playing games
