We're witnessing a world where virtually everything gets packaged as a financial instrument. Look at prediction markets—they've become less about getting your forecast right and more about the platform extracting value through fees. Every transaction, every bet generates commission regardless of accuracy.

The real business model? Collect fees at scale. Don't let yourself become just another fee generator for these systems. Instead, focus on what actually builds long-term wealth. Stack sats, hold what matters.

Someone should have said this earlier, the prediction market is just a new trick to play people for suckers.

Basically, it's a money-sucking black hole. The more players there are, the more the platform profits. We're just the little guys getting exploited.

Wow, after playing this game for so many years, they're still charging fees. Truly impressive.

The fee structure of prediction markets is indeed worth paying attention to. According to on-chain data, the maker-taker fee rates on mainstream prediction platforms generally range from 0.5% to 2%, with annualized trading costs accounting for 12-18% of the total TVL. The problem is that most retail investors are not even aware that they are paying for the platform's liquidity mining.

Manipulating pure transaction fees to harvest profits, nothing new.

Basically, it's a new way to harvest the little guys, with fees eating up half of the profits.

Oh my, here comes another financial innovation to cut the leeks... I'm tired of this routine That's so true, prediction markets are just fee harvesters. Win and pay commissions, lose and still pay commissions. Players end up becoming slaves to fees Just stick to accumulating Bitcoin honestly, no need for these fancy tricks --- Once the fee model came out, I knew it was no good... Wake up, everyone --- I really don't understand what these people are thinking, turning every corner of life into an ATM --- Prediction markets used to be a thing, now they've become tools for platforms to cut losses? Come on, I’d rather HODL Bitcoin comfortably --- Every trade is sending money to the platform, who can stand this... No wonder influencers are advising to HODL BTC
