'''Consumerium Prediction Market''' is a controversial proposal where [[betting]] would be allowed to direct some decisions of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]]. That is, rather than rely on [[Consumerium researchers]] exclusively for their opinion of say which [[standard label]]s were about to become important, it would be possible for the [[Consumerium social club]] (and maybe others) to bet on it. This would presumably allow for much more objective [[valuation]] and more likely [[self-funding]] of the whole project. Also it would interest [[stock market]] players in our [[Consumerium Services]] and their influence, which might create some [[ethical investing]].
