We're sort of already there... there were several reports about massive "wins" in these "markets" on betting on the day the US would strike Iran.

It's not democratized, in the sense that everybody can play. But, the markets are for sure giving people with power/access/money reason to vote (in the markets) and vote (in whatever org they hold power).

It's disgusting.
