My friend argued with me for almost an hour over a football match.
He was so confident he said, "If Arsenal loses today, I'll buy you shawarma." Well, Arsenal lost and guess who suddenly developed memory loss? ๐
That got me thinking, we make predictions every single day:
๐"Bitcoin is hitting a new ATH."
๐"This team is definitely winning."
๐"That artist's next song will blow up."
๐"It'll rain before evening."
We're always saying, "I know this will happen." The only problem is, most of those predictions end in laughter, arguments, or "bro, I told you so."
They disappear in WhatsApp chats, they get buried in X replies, nobody remembers them and then I came across @rain__trade.
Instead of letting predictions disappear, Rain Trade gives people a place to turn them into markets. If you believe something is going to happen, you can create a market around it and other people who agree or disagree can join in.
And here's the interesting part. You don't have to wait for a big company to decide what's worth talking about. You can create your own market around any event that has a clear outcome.
Want to keep it between friends? You can make it private. Want everyone to join? Make it public. The people who create markets can earn from the trading fees and the people who provide liquidity can earn too.
And when it's time to settle the result, there's a system in place to make sure the outcome is decided fairly.
The more I research, the more I realized something. Rain Trade isn't trying to change human behavior. We've always loved making predictions, we've always loved proving we're right. Rain Trade is simply giving those predictions a home.
And honestly, that's a pretty interesting idea. So let me ask you this.
If you could create ONE prediction market today, what would it be about? Drop it below. ๐
I'd love to see the kind of markets people come up with, and if you're curious about what @rain__trade is building, now might be a good time to keep them on your radar.
My story is different because I was born and raised in a mud house by parents who could barely afford one square meal a day.
It took a lot to get out of that life. I squatted with friends, faced rejection, humiliation, and countless difficult moments along the way.
Fast forward to today, I can boost of a ride, a home, and many of the things I once could only dream about. Iโm even building something far bigger than myself.
Iโm not in competition with anyone. My only goal is to keep growing, stay grateful, and remain real till I die
