Q&A with John Cole Dileva
What makes my perspective different is my age (23). I have only known this newer, current-age method of gambling and what that looks like, and I think that makes my content more appealing to the younger generation.
I think the biggest myth about gambling I wish would disappear is that prediction markets are just betting. They may resemble gambling, but truthfully, they’re no different from stock trading in most ways, sometimes even more forgiving and better.
