Polymarket Reaction: Rejecting Allegiance
Despite the US military campaign against Venezuela, Polymarket still hasn't reached the point of a "strategy to invade Venezuela." This bet has a total volume of $10.8 million – a considerable number of participants.
Polymarket's explanation is merely a "start and then withdraw" action, not a military campaign to establish long-term control, and doesn't define "invasion" in the terms.
This explanation has sparked a strong backlash from the community. Many believe Polymarket is creating this wording for revenge, even suggesting it's a "Polyscam" platform.
Regarding the mechanism, Polymarket doesn't automatically determine the outcome based on UMA's oracle, but rather according to the pre-written terms through a production-dispute-voting process. Many users are being overly rigid with Polymarket's wording, failing to consider the context or their shared feelings.
