**macbudkowski.eth**: Doing a 'prediction markets-first' journalism sounds very interesting, reminds me of 'digital-first' journalists that emerged in the 2000s, and they were different from the paper journalists as they used links, embedded more pictures, experimented with form (as they were not constrained by the print) and so on.
