"Sports bettors are overwhelmingly male. Compulsive sports betters are almost universally male. …
Nearly half of men believe they could land a passenger jet with zero training. Of course a lot of them also believe that they can beat the house."

"The logic behind prediction markets is unlike a poll or a pundit. Instead, the bettor has to publicly put money on the line about their expectations and will lose hard cash for being wrong. This should incentivize accuracy, but only if one assumes the money on the line reflects genuine belief rather than privileged access.
Evidence that it may reward privileged access to information is accumulating."

Social media was supposed to connect us, but most of it has turned into ads, division, and loneliness. I'm betting on ATProto as a way to fix that, and not just for developers. Whether you're a scientist, journalist, or just someone who wants the internet to feel human again, I think ATProto matters for you too.
