Prediction markets are finally breaking into mainstream adoption. What started as a niche crypto experiment has evolved into a practical tool that regular users actually want to use—no crypto background required. The shift matters because it shows decentralized applications can compete on usability and real-world value, not just hype. When non-crypto users naturally gravitate toward blockchain-based solutions because they solve actual problems better, that's when you know the space has matured.

The real test hasn't come yet; it's not too late to boast when big funds enter the market.

ngl this is true adoption, not the kind of hype created by marketing. When ordinary people start using it, it really shows that the product is genuinely useful.

Ha, this is what I want to see. No need to understand private keys or use a wallet, only then is there hope.

The prediction market has really gone mainstream, and this is what Web3 should be doing. You don't need to understand cryptocurrencies to use it. What does this mean? It means we finally don't have to boast anymore.

Oh my, is the prediction market really about to go mainstream? Now the retail investors won't need to pretend to understand private key wallets anymore; they can just use them directly. I knew Web3 would eventually reach this stage. Reading this with a smile, I feel like we've finally reached the stage where "the product speaks for itself," no longer relying on marketing and dreams to make profits. Wait, does this mean that truly useful things can become popular without explanations? Then what were all those get-rich-quick dreamers doing before?

The prediction market has really gone mainstream, this is what Web3 should look like. No need for you to understand private keys or wallets; ordinary people just use it. Solving real-world problems is the hard truth.

Really? The prediction market is so popular now? I thought only us old-timers in the crypto world were into it.
