Curious about the actual adoption on prediction markets these days. Most discussions focus on trading volume metrics, but how much of that is genuine user activity versus coordinated movements designed to inflate numbers? From what I've observed in community chats, retail participation remains pretty limited—you rarely hear anyone talking about positions beyond six figures. Makes you wonder if the headline volumes really reflect authentic market participation or just narrative building.

Trading volume has been overhyped for a long time, with too many fake volume insiders... Retail investors are really suffering. --- Six-figure positions? I’ve hardly seen anyone with even five figures. --- The trading volume in the prediction market is mostly absorbed by the whales, and retail investors are just playing along. --- Basically, the data looks good, but actual participation is weak. This routine happens every round. --- 99% of the community is just hyping, and only a rare few dare to invest heavily. Don’t be fooled by headlines. --- Coordinated manipulation? Isn’t that just wash trading? That’s already a common practice in the industry, my friend. --- I just want to know how much of that trading volume is real money. Feels like a lot of water. --- Another hyped-up track, let’s wait and see who ends up taking the last payout. --- Headline traffic = genuine participation? Wake up, that logic is full of holes. --- Daring to claim six figures? How can they just blow smoke? Retail investors are mostly playing with two or three figures.

Trading volume inflation has long been an open secret. The real question is: can on-chain data deceive you? No, it can't. By looking at the activity level of validation nodes, staking flows, and consensus participation, these are the true "truth detectors." Retail investors cheer loudly, but the real gold and silver position data are lying. I spend every night analyzing these on the chain, and it's rare to find a truly convincing protocol.
