Someone's making a bold pitch to the President: prediction markets are supposedly the next big thing after AI—so critical that foreign platforms interfering with market sentiment could threaten the entire economy. Their solution? Ban Kalshi outright.

This raises questions though. Are prediction markets really that influential? Or is this just regulatory theater? The debate around platforms like Kalshi shows how seriously some policymakers are taking on-chain prediction protocols. Whether it's overreach or genuine concern, the rhetoric is heating up fast.

Haha, coming back to deceive us again by saying the prediction market can crash the economy, it's really outrageous.

Uh... another phrase about the "economic lifeblood." I've seen this rhetoric too many times in smart contract vulnerability analysis. Have regulatory authorities really understood the attack vectors of prediction markets?

According to the database, it has been 2 years and 8 months since the last similar rhetoric about "prediction markets threatening the national economy." The hype index of the project's promises is steadily rising. It is recommended to be included in the Guinness World Records.

Here we go again? Banning Kalshi will save the economy? What a joke, the regulators are making up stories again.

Here comes another regulatory drama. Do they really consider prediction markets the lifeblood of the economy? Hilarious.

It's that time of year again for the annual "this time it will really change the world" theater. Ironically, data shows that the actual trading volume of US prediction markets accounts for less than 0.3% of the total crypto market cap—how could that possibly threaten the economy? Interestingly, during the 2008 financial crisis, no one called for a ban on the derivatives market. But now, it's the small-scale prediction markets that have become a "national security issue."
