My goodness, the world we live in!
Oh yes. The most discouraging aspect of what's going on is not the sham, the hoodwink, the hustle. It's the number of my fellow citizens who don't see through it. And, the number of my fellow citizens who are not offended by the hate. Very distressing. But, whatever happens, we'll deal with the result and the sun will rise next week.
I say the sun will rise just fine the next day too and beyond.
You know another funny thing, this place being crypto a whole bunch of people were showing me polymarket as a prediction tool! I don't know if you are aware but it is a binary option trading platform backed by crypto community. People say here people have money on the line so this is "real prediction". Well it's not. People do have money on the line and people will take profit before the Election Day:) See what is happening now:
My husband is a poker player and familiar with gambling culture. He tells me about the bets people place--how much weight someone will lose by a certain date, for example. That's real money too. And just as reliable as the polymarket (which I don't understand at all).
As of today, nobody knows anything.
Polymarket is exactly as he describes poker bets. A binary option is a financial exotic option in which the payoff is either some fixed monetary amount or nothing at all that expires at a given time. Polymarket is effectively a betting platform where you can bet on anything and everything. People there are traders or wannabes. They are just trying to make money.
