I think you are seeing this as a negative. Wait… it is a negative. Who would come up with this to steal sats from people? The mad scramble to steal sats has started. 

 ... but people are retarded...

 True 

 Lol is it stealing if you willingly handed over your sats? I don't think so, when I swapped Bitcoin for shitcoins back in the day when i first started, no one forced me I did it out of my own stupidity, people are making economic decisions everyday some good some bad! 

 True. People do make bad decisions everyday and it is their choice. 

You are just providing the vehicle for them. 

 Indeed, they are enabling it, but I think like any vice its all about how you handle it, if you have disposible income and self control and you use these prediction markets as a little entertainment, I don't see why it can't be a bit of fun, like you do spending your money on video games!   

 Video games. That was a good come back and very funny. This chat is “entertaining.” My profile picture was many many many moons ago. I am not a child, nor a man that plays video games. I don’t have games on my electronic devices either. 

 Lol that's their mistake to make, we all have to waste sats sometime to learn the value of them, I learned it the hard way and I live with that regret everyday and it keeps me humble and grounded, pain alters, pain changes!
