Pretend you are creating a new prediction markets platform of some type that you are responsible for. If you had to pick one direction, what do you think would be the best way to combat the, "Alts," problem (and why, if you are so inclined to answer)? You can comment other and offer your own solution which may be a combination of the above or a new solution. You may choose to comment why you picked the solution you did or why you don't like other particular solutions.
