Honestly, prediction markets feel like they're having their moment—but it won't last. The hype around them is way overblown. Looking at actual adoption and utility, the fundamentals just aren't there. Most prediction market platforms struggle with liquidity issues and poor UX. Once the novelty wears off and people realize they're not solving real problems, you'll see the interest fade fast. It's the kind of trend that generates lots of noise but delivers little substance.
