The @MicroStrategy market is exposing a bigger problem on @Polymarket.
The question was simple:
"Will MicroStrategy sell any Bitcoin by May 31?"
Not:
"Will the sale be publicly confirmed by May 31?"
According to official company disclosures, the sale happened within the market window. But after the deadline passed, the discussion shifted to when the sale was confirmed.
That's where many users feel Polymarket is playing games.
When people place bets, they price the market based on the question being asked. If the interpretation changes after the event, users are no longer betting on outcomes. They're betting on how Polymarket might reinterpret the rules later.
We've seen similar controversies before with @paradex. The DIME TGE market also raised questions about whether Polymarket was following the spirit of its own resolution criteria.
A prediction market's biggest asset is trust.
If traders start believing that market outcomes depend more on post-event interpretations than the original question, that trust disappears very quickly.
