无数：下一代媒体

在整个历史上，技术不断重塑我们创建，分发和消费媒体的方式。每个时代都带来了变革性的转变，重新定义了创作者，分销商和受众之间的关系。

Throughout history, technology has continually reshaped the way we create, distribute and consume media. Each epoch has brought with it a transformative shift, redefining the relationship between creators, distributors and audiences.

在整个历史上，技术不断重塑我们创建，分发和消费媒体的方式。每个时代都带来了变革性的转变，重新定义了创作者，分销商和受众之间的关系。

The printing press revolutionized traditional media, centralizing power in the hands of a few distributors who controlled the flow of information. This era laid the foundation for mass communication, but also limited the diversity of voices in the public sphere.

印刷媒体彻底改变了传统媒体，将权力集中在控制信息流的一些分销商的手中。这个时代为大众传播奠定了基础，但也限制了公共领域的多样性。

The rise of social media marked the next significant leap, democratizing discourse and amplifying public opinion. While still dominated by a handful of platforms, this era introduced a dynamic interplay between creators and consumers, fostering unprecedented levels of engagement and interaction.

社交媒体的兴起标志着下一个重要的飞跃，使话语民主化并扩大了公众舆论。尽管仍然以少数平台为主导，但这个时代引入了创作者与消费者之间的动态相互作用，从而促进了前所未有的参与和互动水平。

More recently, prediction markets have emerged as a novel form of media, blending information dissemination with forecasting. These platforms empower many distributors to share insights, and when paired with blockchain technology, create a decentralized ecosystem where data and speculation converge.

最近，预测市场已成为一种新型媒体形式，将信息传播与预测融为一体。这些平台赋予许多分销商共享洞察力，并与区块链技术配对时，会创建一个分散的生态系统，其中数据和投机收敛。

The transformation of media through technology has continuously pushed away from centralized communications in favor of the voices and opinions of the masses. Blockchain technology is set to usher in the next generation of media by building on the foundation laid before it and better amplifying the truth by breaking down the barriers between creators and consumers.

媒体通过技术的转型不断地摆脱了集中式的交流，而有利于群众的声音和观点。区块链技术将通过建立在其面前的基础上建立基础，并通过打破创作者和消费者之间的障碍来更好地扩大真相，从而迎来下一代媒体。

The next generation of media is happening now on MYRIAD.

下一代媒体现在正在发生无数。

The Past: From the printing press to modern traditional media

过去：从印刷机到现代传统媒体

过去：从印刷机到现代传统媒体

Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press in the 15th century is widely held to be one of the most significant inventions in human history and the bedrock of media distribution. For the first time, information could be mass-produced and disseminated to a wide audience without physical limitations.

约翰内斯·古滕伯格（Johannes Gutenberg）在15世纪对印刷出版社发明的发明被广泛认为是人类历史上最重要的发明之一，也是媒体发行的基础。第一次，可以大规模生产信息并将其传播给广泛的受众，而无需物理限制。

Though transformative, this innovation centralized power in the hands of a few distributors (e.g., publishers, newspapers) who controlled the flow of information and determined the validity and noteworthiness of the information they received. This model extended beyond print media over several generations to include even more accessible, yet centralized, mass-disseminated media through the likes of television and radio broadcasters.

尽管具有变革性，但这种创新将权力集中在少数分销商（例如出版商，报纸）手中，他们控制了信息流并确定了他们收到的信息的有效性和值得注意。该模型超过了几代人，扩展了超越印刷媒体，包括通过电视和广播电台等更容易访问，但集中式，大规模截止的媒体。

This traditional form of media lacked in its diversity of voices. Consumers were passive recipients of information, with little opportunity to contribute or challenge the narratives presented to them. Bias often went unchecked, as the gatekeepers of information held significant sway over public opinion.

这种传统的媒体形式缺乏声音的多样性。消费者是被动的信息接收者，几乎没有机会贡献或挑战介绍给他们的叙述。随着信息的守门人对公众舆论的巨大影响，偏见常常不受限制。

Though opinions and narratives surrounding the media could be discussed among those around the consumer, they lacked the ability to disseminate their voices to a broader audience.

尽管可以在消费者周围的人们之间讨论媒体周围的观点和叙述，但他们缺乏将声音传播给更广泛的受众的能力。

The Present: Social media and mass forecasting

现在：社交媒体和大众预测

现在：社交媒体和大众预测

The rise of social media in the 21st century marked the next significant leap in media evolution. Platforms like X, YouTube and TikTok democratized discourse — giving a voice to millions of individuals who were previously excluded from the conversation and a real-time environment to disseminate ideas.

社交媒体在21世纪的兴起标志着媒体进化的下一个重大飞跃。 X，YouTube和Tiktok这样的平台将话语民主化 - 向以前被排除在谈话中排除在谈话和实时环境中以传播思想的人发声。

For the first time, individuals could bypass traditional gatekeepers and share their perspectives with a global audience. This shift not only empowered creators but also allowed consumers to engage directly with content, fostering a more participatory media ecosystem. However, this era is still dominated by centralization issues.

个人第一次可以绕过传统的守门人并与全球观众分享他们的观点。这种转变不仅赋予了创造者能力，而且还允许消费者直接参与内容，从而促进了一个更具参与式媒体生态系统。但是，这个时代仍然由集中化问题主导。

Social media platforms, while amplifying public opinion, still maintain control over voices and have the ability to make certain voices louder than others. Algorithms, designed to maximize engagement, often prioritize sensational or self-affirming content, minimizing the reach of contrasting voices and limiting public discourse. Evolving from traditional media, social platforms now act as both distributors and consumers of the total sum of opinions, curating and monetizing information without providing back to their users.

社交媒体平台在放大公众舆论的同时，仍然保持对声音的控制权，并有能力比其他人发出某些声音。算法旨在最大程度地提高参与度，通常优先考虑轰动性或自我表达的内容，最大程度地减少对比声音的影响力并限制公众话语。从传统媒体发展，社交平台现在是分销商和消费者的总意见总和，策划和货币化信息，而无需提供给用户。

This new system of media has turned the platforms into the primary consumers of public opinion, while simultaneously preventing users from accessing the full picture of information. Forecasting — the process of predicting future events based on current data and trends — is one area where this limitation becomes evident.

这种新的媒体系统已将平台变成了公众舆论的主要消费者，同时又可以阻止用户访问信息的全部图像。预测 - 基于当前数据和趋势预测未来事件的过程 - 是这种限制变得明显的领域。

While social media platforms aggregate vast amounts of data, they often fail to provide users with a comprehensive or unbiased view of potential outcomes. Instead, they prioritize content that aligns with their algorithms’ goals, such as maximizing ad revenue or user engagement.

尽管社交媒体平台汇总了大量数据，但它们通常无法为用户提供对潜在结果的全面或公正的看法。取而代之的是，他们优先考虑与算法的目标保持一致的内容，例如最大化广告收入或用户参与度。

As a result, consumers are left with fragmented and often skewed perspectives, unable to fully leverage the wisdom of crowds or make informed decisions based on accurate forecasting.

结果，消费者留下了分散且经常偏向的观点，无法完全利用人群的智慧或基于准确的预测做出明智的决定。

The Future: Blockchain and prediction markets

未来：区块链和预测市场

未来：区块链和预测市场

As we look to the future, the next generation of media is poised to address the limitations of centralized platforms by leveraging the power of prediction markets and blockchain technology. This shift represents a fundamental change in how information is distributed, consumed and validated.

当我们展望未来时，下一代媒体将通过利用预测市场和区块链技术的力量来解决集中式平台的局限性。这种转变代表了信息的分发，消费和验证方式的根本变化。

Unlike traditional media or social platforms, which act as gatekeepers and curators of public opinion, prediction markets democratize forecasting by enabling many distributors and consumers to participate in a decentralized ecosystem. Through the use of blockchain technology, this information is not only made more transparent, but allows for markets to incentivize behavior in order to provide the most effective and accurate form of media to date.

与传统媒体或社交平台（充当公众舆论的守门人和策展人）不同，预测市场通过使许多分销商和消费者能够参与分散的生态系统来使预测民主化。通过使用区块链技术，此信息不仅使得更加透明，而且允许市场激励行为，以提供迄今为止最有效，最准确的媒体形式。

Prediction markets operate on the principle of the “wisdom of crowds,” where the collective intelligence of many individuals often outperforms that of a single expert. This concept, similar to the “dumb agent theory,” demonstrates how even non-experts can contribute to accurate forecasting when

预测市场基于“人群智慧”的原则，在这里，许多人的集体智慧通常优于单个专家的智慧。这个概念类似于“愚蠢的代理理论”，展示了即使是非专家，当何时非专家都可以促进准确的预测
