Is the prediction market actually functional as a practical matter?
Is Bitshares actually a Dex for the crypto markets?
To my limited understanding those things are hard coded into the protocol.

Prediction Market documentation:

http://www.cryptofresh.com/a/USDTETHERDEFAULTWhat specifically was your question about prediction markets? Seems the documentation, features, and actual use of them is occurring.

With regard to your second question:
http://docs.bitshares.org/bitshares/user/dex.htmlThis explains how the Dex works.
I think your question more pertains to, "so can I buy some Peercoins with BTS or DASH coins through the DEX"
The answer is "yes" if a gateway provider was to offer that service.
Try this exercise:
1. Open up your Bitshares Lite wallet
2. Login to your account
3. Click Deposit / Withdrawal
4. Notice all the BTC, Dash, Doge, Eth, LTC addresses?
There's gateways that offer you to come in/out of those coins already...
BLOCKTRADES, CCEDK, METAEXCHANGE, TRANSWISER are listed as gateway providers....
This is not a fault of the code, it's just that the industry hasn't realized what Bitshares is capable of..
(See, we need more marketing, promotion, and business use of the Bitshares DEX, that's probably why you're even asking these questions -- no one reads. Everyone seems to walk around with illusions that the software isn't ready to be used.
It is ready to be used... AND PEOPLE ARE USING IT!)
See this:
http://docs.bitshares.org/bitshares/user/eba.htmlDan even wrote about how the BTS Network could work with gateways back in Dec 2014
http://bytemaster.github.io/update/2014/12/18/Benefits-of-Being-a-BitShares-Gateway/Somehow from Dec 2014 - April 2017, very few still understand it. Instead everyone is waiting for Dan to build it. He already did!
But these questions don't belong here. This is suppose to be about the Bitshares price discussion, to discuss price.
If you want to know more about what the system is able to do, let's not tie it up in the price discussion thread.
