Current prediction market platforms like the established players maintain tight content controls—certain markets get flagged or removed entirely. That's actually a feature that works in their favor for regulatory compliance, but it's also creating space for something different.
Increasingly, we'll see emerging prediction platforms with minimal moderation barriers. The competitive advantage for these platforms is radical transparency and zero-friction market creation. Theoretically, anything becomes tradeable—event odds, conflict scenarios, mortality probabilities. The financial infrastructure supports it.
The dystopian angle is real: once you can tokenize predictions about geopolitical instability or human loss at scale, you're quantifying outcomes most societies consider sacred. No gatekeeping means every conceivable future state becomes another derivative to arbitrage. It's what happens when decentralized markets encounter zero-moderation environments.

Another slogan like "Decentralization is freedom"... Basically, it turns people's lives into bets, which sounds really uncomfortable.

Damn, this is outrageous. Using human suffering as futures trading? I really can't hold it together.

Bro, once the moderation prediction markets open up, people's lives could be used for betting, and this situation is a bit hard to handle...

This is the double-edged sword of Web3... Freedom and chaos are often separated by just a sheet of paper.
