The Hunter Economy:

A whole class of startups that'll be built that'll incentivize & reward early adopters both economically & socially.

They'll exist for discovering new products, new people, new ideas.

Using prediction markets, we'll discover who's prescient & who's BS-ing.
I was going to say "Hipster Economy" because that more acutely identifies the phenomenon of taking joy in discovering things early, but it also has a negative connotation I don't imply. Hunter is more neutral, though not as sharp.

What's the best term you can think of for this?
As long as it has "the" at the beginning and "economy" at the end, then we're in business.
Step 1. Come up with the name.
Step 2. _________
Step 3. Profit
