预测市场正在爆发,6 月是 Polymarket 交易量最高的月份,交易量超过 1 亿美元。

参与其中,否则就闭嘴

今天很难知道什么是事实。

我们知道,美国政府经常为了自身的利益而控制企业媒体(参见中央情报局的“知更鸟行动”)和社交媒体(参见推特文件)来传播谎言。

马斯克接管 X 的一大好处是,审查制度和自上而下的叙事控制减少了。但在 X 上,任何人都可以轻易编造自己的虚假叙事,而且算法倾向于奖励人气而不是真相。Community Notes 在一定程度上解决了这个问题,但 X 在帮助人们区分真相和谎言方面还有很长的路要走。

如果你和今天的年轻人交谈,他们会深切感受到这个问题。他们知道企业媒体和社交媒体创造的流行叙事往往是不真实的,但他们不知道如何分辨什么是真实的,什么是虚假的。所以他们通常只是默认追随流行的。

市场是真相的最佳来源

预测市场是一个开放的市场,任何了解未来结果的人都可以以押注的形式贡献自己的知识,如果他们猜对了,他们就会赚钱,如果他们猜错了,他们就会赔钱。

例如,“乔·拜登会退出2024年美国总统大选吗?”

空谈是廉价的。专家们很容易说拜登退出,如果他们说错了不会有任何损失。但在预测市场中,如果你错了,就会有实际的财务成本损失。目前,你可以在Polymarket上以每股 0.81 美元的价格购买该市场的 YES 股票。如果你买入 YES,这意味着如果拜登退出,你将获得 23% 的利润,如果拜登继续参选,你将损失 100%。所有参与其中的独立观点都认为拜登退出的可能性为 81%。

Polymarket 上的拜登退出市场一直是了解拜登参加 2024 年大选情况的最佳途径。早在 2023 年 10 月,市场就表明拜登退出的可能性为 26%。与此同时,《纽约时报》和其他企业媒体继续散布有关拜登精神状态的谎言。

在2024年6月27日的辩论中,Polymarket继续成为民主党现实的领先指标。市场立即对拜登明显缺乏敏锐的思维做出了反应,他退出竞选的市场价格几乎翻了一番。

市场很优越但并不完美

如果拜登最终没有以 81% 的胜算退出,这是否意味着市场无法提供真相?完全不是。规模化的市场反映了当前现实,由各行各业的参与者代表。它们并不总是准确预测结果。市场参与者可能会有偏见和不理性。而且,有很多新信息可以引入,从而改变结果。

重点是,市场比一群预先选定的精英(旧媒体)和追求利润的算法(新媒体)更能提供真相,并将在未来几年为世界带来更多真相方面发挥关键作用。尤其是在全球流动性规模上,链上支付轨道可以实现这一点。在加密货币行业,我们一直在等待主流用例,人们甚至不需要知道这是一个加密货币用例。现在,我们有一个在美国未来发挥重要作用的用例。

A Crucial Event is Approaching, Pay Attention to Friday: This Could Be the Fed's Most Important Event This Year

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is preparing to deliver one of his most significant speeches this week at the Jackson Hole symposium. Markets and Fed officials are focused on a fundamental question: Is persistently high U.S. inflation due to temporary shocks like tariffs and the war with Iran, or is the economy still too strong from a demand perspective? The answer could determine whether the Fed will raise interest rates in the coming period. Investors will scrutinize Warsh's Friday speech for clues about his economic assessment and the conditions under which he might tighten monetary policy. The outlook is interpreted through two scenarios. One suggests inflation has exceeded the Fed's 2% target for over a year due to temporary shocks and may recede spontaneously. The other warns these events mask deeper economic imbalances, where strong demand allows companies to keep raising prices, potentially necessitating rate hikes. While recent softer inflation data has eased pressure for a September rate hike, concerns remain that the Iran war, new tariffs, and a surge in AI investment could exert lasting upward pressure on prices. Divisions within the Fed are growing, with some officials pushing for further tightening, citing robust consumer spending and labor demand, while others believe price pressures may ease on their own. A notable feature of Warsh's tenure has been his reduced guidance to markets, arguing central bankers talk too much. However, this reluctance to share his own views may be making it harder to build consensus, as evidenced by three dissenting votes for a rate hike last month—the highest in nearly a decade. Market reactions are being closely watched. Following the July meeting, the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury note rose to its highest level since 2007, suggesting investors believe the Fed might tolerate slightly higher near-term inflation but could require more significant future rate increases. Therefore, the Jackson Hole speech is crucial not only for near-term rate expectations but also for understanding how Fed policy communication will be shaped under Warsh's leadership.
