The thing about prediction markets—you're basically locked in waiting for days or weeks to see how it plays out. Not exactly the instant gratification you get from other trading. The resolution window just feels too long sometimes. You want that quick hit, that immediate feedback loop, but here you're sitting around waiting for settlement. It's the one area where the whole experience loses its punch.

Waiting for the settlement really messes with your mindset; it's better to just play leveraged futures for a more exciting experience.

Waiting for the settlement is really awesome; I still prefer the thrill of second-level feedback.

Waiting for settlement is really slow enough to drive you crazy; it's better to just do short-term trading for a more enjoyable experience.

Contract trading is great because of instant settlement, and the anticipation in prediction markets is really intense... Waiting for the settlement day feels like being frozen, the excitement is completely gone. I just want that quick in-and-out thrill, not this kind of torment. Prediction markets? I still prefer short-term trading, at least I can see the results the same day. That's why I still go back to futures; short settlement times are the way to go.

Waiting for settlement until the end of time—that's the fate of prediction markets. The part of just waiting for settlement is really intense, fast forward to the breakdown. The most torturous part of prediction markets is this waiting; the thrill is completely gone. The settlement time is so long that I forgot what I even placed orders for, haha. This slow pace really isn't for me; I want that immediate feedback. Don't make me wait every day; I advise you to just change prediction markets to settlement markets. It's really just about missing that instant thrill.
