If the moderator had enough voting power or stake, then it would be a pure prediction market. The decision could be the final voting results. Maybe some mechanism can be designed to ensure the early voters get some profits if the vote is the same as the final voting result. If an incident happens and the other side increase substantially because of it, the final results can also be reversed.

Hi Wei. Do you have any comments on the Ethereum, ICO (Initial Coin Offering) and hard forks of Bitcoin? Do you think they will solve the problem of fixed monetary supply of Bitcoin since they somehow brought much more "money" (or securities like stock, not sure how to classify them)?

Do you have any comments about the scaling fight of Bitcoin between larger blocks and 2nd-layer payment tunnels such as Lightning Network ?
