Predictions aren’t physical and can be wrong.
replyThere is nothing physical about any financial transaction (except some electrons moving I guess), that doesn't mean that they aren't supposed to approximate something that happens in physical reality. A billion dollars is control.

replyThe transactions are just as real for Bitcoin or a meme stock.
