Oh, the folly of men! In a recent social media post, Ethereum‘s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, scoffs at the notion of “hyperstition” – that quaint idea that prediction markets might literally shape reality. 🤯💸
This comes after Charlotte Fang, ever the dreamer, claimed that prediction markets with enough liquidity could program the future. How romantic! 🎭
Buterin, ever the skeptic, replies: “Nay, this is but a danger case! A tragicomedy of errors!” 🧠
“One of the danger cases”
Imagine, if you will, a world where the market’s odds – 99%! – dictate the real world. What a farce! 🤡
For instance, if a market bets on a company’s collapse, investors might flee, causing the very failure they predicted. A self-fulfilling prophecy! 🌀
Buterin warns: if markets gain the power to manufacture truth, they’ll lose their fairness. A dire outcome! 🚫
He cites two woes: a “whale monopoly” (a financial leviathan) and the “hitman problem” (where bets incentivize chaos). A tragicomedy of errors! 🕵️♂️💥
