🦥 Prediction Markets on sloth.buzz

A proposal for the platform and its community

Hello admins and community of sloth.buzz,
my name is jorgeluisborges and I’m new here.

First of all, I’d like to directly address the administrators of this platform.
I’d like to briefly present this idea, ask for your permission, and see if you consider it aligned with the spirit and values of sloth.buzz.
If it makes sense and feels appropriate, I’d be happy to move forward openly and transparently.

I come from Hive, and I arrived here thanks to a small but meaningful gesture: someone tipped me through a comment on a Snap. Curiosity did the rest, and that’s how I ended up here.

What follows is a proposal for a series of experimental posts based on Prediction Markets, designed around long-term incentives, participation, and collective judgment.

---

🔮 What is the idea?

Each post will introduce:

• One clear prediction question
• A fixed expiration date (a precise number of days)
• Several possible outcomes, each represented by a comment

Participants take part by voting on the comment that represents the outcome they believe is correct.

⚙️ How the system works

🗳️ Voting

• Each possible outcome is represented by a comment
• Users vote by supporting the comment they believe is correct
• The vote represents conviction and participation

🏆 Resolution

• When the expiration time is reached, one outcome is determined to be correct
• The comment representing that outcome becomes the winning comment

---

♾️ The core incentive (very important)

Permanent delegation to correct voters

• Every user who voted on the correct outcome receives a delegation
• The full amount corresponding to their vote (the vote’s delegated portion) is delegated back to them
• That delegation is permanent

Permanent means:

• Never removed
• Never undelegated
• No expiration
• Long-term by design
• For all practical purposes: forever

Once delegated, it stays delegated.

📊 System overview

Stage	Description
Question	A prediction question is published
Duration	The market expires after a fixed number of days
Voting	Users vote by supporting outcome comments
Resolution	The correct outcome is identified
Reward	Correct voters receive delegation
Delegation	Vote-based delegation, permanent ♾️

🧠 Why do this?

This experiment is about:

• Collective intelligence
• Aligned incentives
• Skin in the game
• Transparency and trust
• Long-term participation instead of short-term extraction

🚀 What’s coming next?

First Prediction Market — coming very soon

Prediction question:

What will be the price of HIVE (the Hive blockchain token) in 7 days?

• Fixed duration: 7 days
• Clear outcome options
• Simple rules
• First real test of this system

If this sounds interesting to you, I invite you to participate.

More soon. 🦥🔮
