Can Polymarket actually hit a billion users within the next five years?

That's the question on everyone's mind. The prediction market platform has been making waves, but scaling to that magnitude? We're talking about mass adoption on a level most crypto projects only dream about.

Think about the barriers: regulatory hurdles in different jurisdictions, user education curve, competition from traditional betting platforms. Then again, if prediction markets become the go-to for everything from elections to entertainment outcomes, maybe it's not as far-fetched as it sounds.

What's your take? Is this realistic growth territory or just another moonshot prediction?
