Believe v2 Officially Launches: Trading Market Sentiment Fluctuations

2026-01-14 06:20:11

【Crypto World】Believe v2 is now available on the App Store, and it’s quite an interesting platform. In simple terms, the core concept of this platform is to track real-time popularity indices — officially called the “Emotion Market,” which sits between Memecoin and prediction markets.

How does it work? The market is divided into two directions: “Trust” and “Skepticism.” Interestingly, the prices of these two directions always sum up to $1. Unlike traditional prediction markets that settle at a certain time, Believe’s markets never settle. Users trade based on their judgment of the popularity trend of a particular individual.

Initially, the official team will manually deploy markets for high-profile figures. The first emotion market was created for founder Ben Pasternak. But this is just the beginning. The upcoming plans are more imaginative — allowing anyone to create markets for any X account, gradually transforming the Believe platform into an ecosystem that displays real-time emotional data of personalities across the internet. The team is also considering introducing a revenue-sharing mechanism to incentivize creators and expand the ecosystem.

This approach is indeed innovative, combining social popularity with market trading.

This thing is just treating personality as stocks to speculate on. "Never settle" means they can keep harvesting profits forever.

Never settle? This thing is just betting on popularity, feels crazier than memecoin. It's both trust and suspicion, basically betting on who will go viral and who will cool off. Anyone can create a market... I already have ideas for how many recession markets I want to create haha. Ben Pasternak is an early player, I wonder if he can withstand everyone's short positions. If this thing takes off, social media will explode. The never-settle setup is brilliant, truly a perpetual game. Trust plus suspicion = 1 dollar, I like this math, simple and straightforward. It feels like it will turn into a trading game, more intense than prediction markets. The fact that anyone can create a market—how many people will be shorting each other here?

Prices and never-settling? Isn't this just an infinite arbitrage zero-sum game? I always feel something's off.

This thing feels like a financial shell built around hype manipulation. Isn't this just betting on whether the persona collapses? The perpetual settlement setting is a bit interesting. Ben being used as the first experimental subject is quite amusing. Allow any X account to create a market? That would be chaos, every day is a Requiem. Trust and suspicion will always be split 50/50. This logic is a bit extreme. Another new way to collect IQ taxes, honestly. A mode of stubbornness, I feel like it's a perpetual motion machine of hype. If this thing takes off, every tongue could appear in trading pairs.

Never settle? Isn't this just gambling on whether the reputation will collapse or not? It's a bit addictive.
