# Truemarkets

### Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

Truemarkets is a news and information source on the frontier of alternative media.

At its core, it is a decentralized prediction market that enables users to forecast outcomes of real world events.&#x20;

It breaks down information asymmetries pertaining to global headlines by allowing people with skin in the game to express real-time sentiment around events or news.

While traditional news sources propagate the opinions of key leaders, Truemarkets propagates news through the power of open markets.

The subjective sentiment expressed through markets may not bear truth itself, but it does represent a real-time data point that increases in accuracy as more people scrutinize these markets.

Truemarkets exposes the real-time sentiment behind news and fosters the search for answers by resolving prediction markets related to the underlying events.

If a prediction market is a truth machine, then its “truth” is only as good as its source (oracle).&#x20;

Asking a question is easy, but finding the answer is costly.&#x20;

Truemarkets places bounties on truth.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://truemarkets.gitbook.io/truemarkets/truemarkets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
