Only if you include random talking heads as experts. Then you get that 98% chance of Clinton winning result. But you can select actual experts to rely on before the outcome happens. The 538 forecast was extremely accurate the previous election and had the 30% outcome the day before. That's actually comparable to a poll of economists on bitcoin.
And to make it even more useful the polling of economists should ask them to give a probability instead of yes/no. It may be true that 96% say "yes it's in a bubble" and the average probability between them of Bitcoin going to 1M$ is actually 20% or more.
Nate Silver wrote at length about this but the gist is that the polls were pretty accurate but some people talked about them imprecisely:

The data gave her 70%. We're in the 30% of universes where Trump won.
In this scenario, you might argue, these are just talking heads. But they are not being asked for a view in order to look popular on TV, they're looking at data and interpreting it in a way that they are happy to be professionally accountable for.
Wisdom of crowds in the context of talking heads shooting the odds on a media out is not going to be as accurate as wisdom of crowds for economists being asked about economic issues.
So, you know, be careful where you're drawing lines here.
Trump winning doesn't disprove that. The models could be correct and we wound up in the 2%.
The chances of me winning the Powerball are one in a hundred million, but me winning doesn't disprove those odds at all.
How accurate the "best models" were isn't really relevant to the accuracy of the predictions of experts as a whole. The media was running that Clinton had a 98% chance of winning the morning of the race.
