So, did you or your friends bet on who would win the election: Trump or Biden. Or maybe you are all interested to bet on whether will Bitcoin reach new ATH in 2022, for example. This is the world of prediction markets, which is really a fascinating space.
Let’s take a moment to dive into the history of prediction markets.
Prediction markets have been around for a long time. The first one came out in 2014 by Paul Stork who built the Bitcoin Hivemind which is actually a peer-to-peer oracle protocol which lets you get accurate data from the outside into the blockchain so Bitcoin users can speculate on various events on chain, but it seems pretty inactive and potentially dead now.
And after all these years, prediction markets are still one of the most popular areas of extra income, but there’s always been a few problems with them: how to find a trusted party to maintain the system, struggling with the shortcomings of the market design, do not allow easy trading and are hardly accepted by traders due to the lack of widely scattered events that in the past led to problems with market liquidity and its failures, an impartial judge to certify the results is also a hurdle.
That’s why the blockchain world has always had their eyes on this space as a really great use case for blockchain tech. Blockchain operates in betting with the usage of smart contracts for payment automated odds on a decentralized platform. With the help of blockchain there will be ensured and created the most trustworthy and fair betting platforms, as it offers increased security and reduces the possibility of human error.
Prediction markets are a very unique type of market that you can speculate on. Essentially you can place bets on the outcome of future events and you can utilize information from a wide variety of sources to make decisions on those events.
So,what types of predictions can you make? You can make predictions on anything that has a binary outcome. Some popular ones are election results, sporting game results, public company data (for example when they’re going IPO), price of commodities of other types of assets and even weather conditions. You can imagine whatever people want to predict and form a prediction.
