I just finished watching CZ's year-end Q&A, and my mind was a bit shaken 😮. He mentioned that the current penetration rate of the cryptocurrency market is less than 1%, and there is "several orders of magnitude" of growth potential in the future. What does this concept mean? Is it saying that we are still in the very early stages?

What impressed me the most was the part about prediction markets — he mentioned that next year's US election will be a turning point, and teams that can stay on standby 24/7 might win in the short term. It feels like prediction markets are really waiting for a "breakout event" to prove their value.

Also, the idea that AI and robots will inevitably use cryptocurrencies made sense to me — fully autonomous robots and AI, without decentralized payment methods, would indeed be very limited, right?

However, CZ's cautious attitude towards AI trading robots served as a wake-up call — if everyone uses a certain strategy, the market will price out its advantage. This zero-sum game logic is a bit harsh, but it seems quite accurate.

I'm currently learning the basics every day, and seeing these industry leaders' views makes me especially eager to understand the entire ecosystem's logic. Do you also follow prediction markets? Are there any reliable projects you recommend? 🤔
