Prediction markets are interesting; essentially, they make information transparent. Tools that can track on-chain movements have actually been displaying signals for a long time—well-informed people can detect them in advance, as was evident before the Maduro-related events. So what's the key? Governments, institutions, retail investors—all can use the same set of tools to access information, and no one can monopolize it. That's the beauty of public blockchains—the information is symmetrical, and competition becomes fair. In simple terms, transparent mechanisms ensure that every participant starts from roughly the same starting line.

Information symmetry sounds good, but the reality is that retail investors still react half a beat behind, while big players have already completed their布局.

Is information symmetry fairness? Well, then why do some people make money while others lose?

nah this is where it gets funny—"fair competition" on transparent systems? that's cute. on-chain data's just noise if you don't know what you're looking at. the real edge is governance attack vectors nobody's talking about yet... and yeah, the "equal footing" thing? only works until someone spots protocol vulnerabilities first.

Transparency ≠ making money; the key is still to react quickly.

Information symmetry? Ha, I've heard that phrase too many times. The problem is that tool transparency ≠ game transparency. There are plenty of people who can see on-chain data, but who has the money to react quickly and who can withstand slippage—that's the real competitive edge. No matter how retail investors use the same set of tools, they can't compete with the execution speed of institutions—I've seen this kind of "fairness" fail too many times.

Information asymmetry sounds good, but in practice, knowledgeable insiders can still trap retail investors.

That's what they say, but the real beneficiaries are still those tech giants. For us ordinary folks, no matter how transparent, it's still a pipe dream.
