I've seen contracts on whether California will burn this summer.

Any bum defending these contracts is to me either a shill or way too dumb to understand the concept of incentives.

Oh and there was an Israeli journalist that got life threats because he reported that an Iranian missile struck some place in Israel, and apparently there was a huge bet on it on polymarket.

Funny how average HNer is opposing Flock cameras that solve real crimes by covering it up as a "freedom" yet completely fine regulating contracts with hypothetical incentives.
The incentives are not hypothetical.
