The prediction market is back. When will the binary contracts gameplay truly become mainstream?

It's another prediction market, another airdrop, another reward leaderboard... Why does BitMart's approach feel so familiar?

ah, another prediction market. let me guess—they're banking on retail traders not understanding basic conditional probability distributions? the airdrop mechanics alone scream selection bias, ceteris paribus everyone's gonna chase those rewards without modeling the implied volatility curves properly. statistically significant? doubt it.

Is the prediction market back again? BitMart's move seems to want us to guess the rise and fall to earn airdrops, but this binary contracts trick feels a bit old.

ngl the binary contract structure here is kinda mid... where's the mechanism design? like empirically speaking, prediction markets only work if you have proper incentive alignment and the data suggests BitMart's airdrop strategy might just be creating more mercenary farmers tbh

BitMart has introduced a new feature. Can the prediction market be played? It feels like just a new way to cut the leeks.

The prediction market is back. Whether the binary contracts gameplay can actually make money depends on the actual situation.

The prediction market is back. BitMart's approach this time seems to be copying Polymarket... Binary contracts are interesting, but the liquidity of USDT trading pairs raises some questions.

The prediction market is back, this time it's BitMart's turn. Binary contracts sound pretty good, but I wonder if the actual operation will crash or not.
