     Well, those are actually cool things.
     
     Bitcoin is legitimately cool because it's a unit of currency that cannot be inflated by central banks.
     
     And prediction markets are cool because they signal what people think will happen. Like decentralized insurance, very cool stuff.

     Prediction markets driving investors to speculate on cryptocurrencies. What a time to be alive.
