Last weekend, news of Trump's assassination dominated media outlets around the world.
That piece of news, along with some thrilling photos, once again drew the world's attention to the US election and sparked people's high attention to the election.
There are many speculations on the Internet about the motives of this incident. I still believe that such an incident is not a conspiracy theory, and I also believe that a person's subconscious actions are difficult to fake, because that is a person's true nature.
The biggest impact of this incident on the American people may be that it will motivate a group of apathetic voters who are basically not interested in politics and even basically do not participate in voting to participate in the voting.
The several shots of Trump captured during this incident reminded me of 9/11.
When the incident happened, Bush rushed to the scene, without any disguise, and subconsciously linked arms with the firefighters like a friend and gave a speech. That scene made many middle-class voters and even Democratic voters who did not like Bush at all change their attitude towards him by 180 degrees.
Events like this can help people see their true colors and character in the face of emergencies and disasters. As long as this true color and character meet people's expectations, it can even make political differences seem less important.
I believe that the impact of 9/11 on Bush Jr.'s popularity will also happen to Trump today.
Interestingly, when many overseas media reprinted this news, they also attached a picture of a prediction market. This picture showed that the prediction price of Trump's election in a certain prediction market rose to 70 cents.
What is more noteworthy is that many domestic Chinese media also quoted this picture when reprinting the news.
This picture comes from the prediction platform polymarket.com in the crypto world.
I introduced this platform to you during the online exchange just now.
This is a prediction platform based on Polygon Mainnet. It was available as early as the last bull market, and I only came into contact with this platform at the end of 2020.
At that time, the platform had just emerged, so there were very few events that could be predicted. After all these years of development, the platform not only survived the difficult bear market, but also further developed and expanded the prediction field to many aspects, such as sports, politics, encryption, science, pop culture, etc.
Users can log in to this website not only with encrypted wallets, but also with traditional emails, so it caters to a wide range of users.
After users enter the website, they can click on various categories to see various predictions about future events in that field.
If you want to participate in the prediction of these events, users need to recharge USDC to their account on this platform, and then they can participate in the prediction of various events.
The whole operation process is hassle-free.
Of course, the reward for predicting each event on this platform is not large, so don’t expect to get rich overnight here. It’s better to treat it as a little entertainment in a boring market.
When I browsed this platform in the early years, I stopped paying attention to it for a while because I felt that it was not very playable. I started to pay attention to it again mainly because I suddenly found that there were many more predictable things on it last year, such as the Taiwan election, the US election, Sam's judgment, the new high of Bitcoin, Ethereum ETF, etc. Many of these events are what I pay attention to and are interested in. Therefore, in addition to starting to participate in the prediction of these familiar events, I also started to pay attention to the development of this platform again.
This incident can be regarded as free marketing for the platform.
I am very happy to see every encrypted application enter more users and be understood and known by more people. I hope that in the future more and more encrypted applications can enter the hands of ordinary people, so that ordinary people can feel the charm and excitement of the encrypted world.
