Long Bets is a platform that allows individuals to make predictions about future events, with a focus on long-term outcomes. Users can place bets on various topics, ranging from technology advancements to social changes, and set a timeline for the prediction to be evaluated, often spanning several years. The platform encourages thoughtful speculation and fosters discussions about the future. Participants can back their predictions with a monetary stake, which is held in escrow until the outcome is determined. This approach promotes accountability and provides a unique way to engage with potential future scenarios.
