If prediction markets genuinely aren't gambling, what's stopping active traders from jumping in? It's an interesting paradox—these markets offer real economic incentives and price discovery mechanisms, yet mainstream traders seem to overlook them. Is it a perception issue, lack of liquidity, or just friction in accessing these platforms? The mechanics make sense on paper: participants profit from accurate forecasting rather than pure luck. So why hasn't mainstream adoption caught up with the premise?

Basically, it's just a trust issue. No matter how good the mechanism sounds, someone has to dare to play it.

Basically, it's a trust issue. No matter how good the mechanism is, it’s useless if no one uses it.

Bro is right, the key issue is the cognitive barrier; most people simply can't understand the difference between prediction markets and gambling.

Basically, it's just a disguise for gambling. Big players have already been harvesting profits, and when retail investors get in, it's just like sending them to the slaughter.
