I started paying attention to the Opinion prediction market project at the end of the previous year, when this track was almost nobody's discussion. To be honest, even Polymarket back then was far from the current level of popularity and attention.

Looking back now, the prediction market track has undergone many changes from being obscure to becoming a market focus. Early investors' vision truly needed to be sharp—being able to recognize the potential when this track was still very cold shows real foresight.

Over the past two years, watching the prediction market ecosystem gradually heat up, evolving from a niche activity with little attention to a hot topic in the Web3 community, it feels like the overall market's awareness and participation have increased. Projects and investors who laid out early will definitely see very different feedback now.

Damn, early investments really made a killing. I didn't even hear about Opinion back then. If I had known earlier, I should have been more aggressive. Now seeing how popular prediction markets are, I really regret not jumping in sooner. Actually, I still find the prediction market space a bit confusing, but I can see that early participants were all smiles. The difference between geniuses and rookies is right here—those who can sniff out hot topics are truly exceptional. By the way, how is Polymarket doing now? It feels like the buzz has died down a bit. The guys who got in early definitely made a fortune—that's the power of information advantage. Prediction markets are popular, but the real profit still goes to those who were the first to take the plunge.

I should have known earlier and gone all in on Opinion at that time. Now I regret it to death.

Haha, bro, your vision is truly exceptional. I hadn't even heard of Opinion back then. If I had known prediction markets would be so popular, I should have jumped in earlier. Now I realize Polymarket has only been popular for less than two years, and it feels like the entire sector has been activated. Honestly, it's all about being with the right people. Wow, the discussion around prediction markets is exploding now. Who could have imagined this back then?

Did you have an opinion back in the day? There really was no one playing at that time, but now it looks like a divine prediction. Early entrants really made a killing; predicting the market's shift from obscurity to popularity has only taken these two years. Polymarket is now so popular, and the early adopters deserve a lot of credit. But to be fair, this kind of track reversal happens pretty quickly, and missing out is truly missing out.

ngl, being in the accumulation phase during those dead months hits different now. like mile 5 of an ultra when everyone's still sleeping—early stackers just knew the adoption curve would follow eventually. ecosystem momentum always takes time to build.

The wave of early opportunists who bet on Opinion really made a killing. Now that the prediction market is so popular, I do kind of regret not jumping in.
