On Polymarket, betting against climate change, the opponent is actually a NASA scientist

User X, a practitioner in the encryption industry, would like the following Chinese text translated into English:

User X@ekrii3 decided to bet on "Climate Change" on Polymarket based on NASA's report and found that the opposing side was a NASA scientist.

The specific content of the betting market is: "If the global land-ocean temperature index data increases by 1.05°C or more when released in 2023, the Yes side of the market will win; otherwise, the market will be won by the NO side." The user who bet against NASA scientists in this market purchased shares on the NO side.

Interestingly, ekri shared that their decision to buy "NO" was based on a scientific report from NASA.

Later, someone in the comments section posted a tweet from the scientist, saying "Look at her account."

ekri replied with "已经跟着她了".

Speaking of NASA, a recent news about it has attracted widespread attention from the cryptocurrency community.

NASA's Artemis program, the true Crypto to the Moon

BlockBeats News, September 26th, according to the BBC Focus on Science magazine, NASA plans to send a batch of data to the moon next year to test the possibility of backing up data on a lunar base in response to threats to Earth's data security.

This task is part of the Artemis program. NASA's partners include Lonestar, a computational startup based in Florida, and the Isle of Man, an autonomous British Crown dependency located in the Irish Sea.

The two parties hope to use blockchain technology to ensure data security, prevent tampering, and prove that the information in the archive is authentic. This will be the first time that blockchain technology is used on the moon.

This test mission is scheduled to launch from the United States in February 2024. Future data centers may store more sensitive national data, including any cultural information and financial records related to human health, such as genomic data used for drug research.

The head of innovation at Digital Isle of Man, Kurt Roosen, said in an interview with BBC Science Focus: "This is a really interesting challenge, not just for us, but for NASA as well."

But you may be wondering, why do we need a lunar data center? Well, it's not for storing extra photos when you run out of space on your phone. The mission aims to protect humanity's most important discoveries and creations from the impact of Earthly disasters.

What is Polymarket, which allows you to bet against NASA?

除了为读者带来这样一件小趣事，关于 Polymarket 这个平台也是一个值得说道的加密平台。

Polymarket is a prediction market launched in 2021. Popular markets display significant global events (such as the US presidential election and COVID-19) and cryptocurrency trends (such as Bitcoin prices and Ethereum upgrades).

If you have unique insights into something, you can try to predict the Polymarket market. In this market, your perspective will be infinitely magnified. You can learn the latest knowledge and understand the hottest events every day. And who knows, you might even make a small profit based on your cognition.

Not only topics like whether the founder of Curve will go bankrupt are discussed, but also whether there are aliens, whether room-temperature superconductors are real, who will be the next US president between Trump and Biden, Bitcoin price predictions, Travis Scott's new album "Utopia" first-week sales, where Mbappe will transfer, and even black swan events like whether Twitter (X) will go bankrupt in 2023 are all involved in Polymarket.

This interesting little incident shows that a fair and open prediction market is a very attractive gameplay mechanism for the encryption community. As Mike from 1confirmation summarized, "Polymarket can quickly create markets for popular topics such as culture, technology, and politics, attracting a diverse community of members who not only have vitality, but also can obtain a real barometer of emotions through Polymarket."

Based on cryptocurrency, the prediction market is a way to combat the spread of incorrect or biased information in the media, providing economic incentives for people to seek the truth.

The era of predicting the Mass Adoption market is coming. As the world becomes more interconnected and information spreads faster, the demand for reliable, community-driven platforms continues to grow.」
