Prediction markets are supposed to be the internet’s truth machine. They offer a place where real money forces honest thinking. Yet, they have a structural vulnerability. Hype, fear, and confirmation routinely push the odds of absurd outcomes far higher than reality warrants.

It never came. Benjamin Cowen, founder of IntoTheCryptoverse, wasn’t surprised. He had a name for what was happening, and it changed everything. “This is a cycle where Bitcoin topped on apathy rather than euphoria.” That single phrase explains more about the…
