Your pic related is pretty accurate, so no. They will all bend the knee to LINK

How can one bet on full-scale civil war in USA with LINK?

Can you do that with augur? To my knowledge no one is even using it. You need other people to bet with to make money

Augur team is a bunch of shockingly dumb grifters. The kind of people who thrive in the seedy world of crypto but couldn’t get past the first interview round at a real tech company.

Vitalik was still sucking Augur's dick the other day while being on a zoom call with Sergey and he never gave LINK any props as far as I know. Even Vitalik will bend the knee soon when LINK fixes the scaling issue.

Yes, you can; no one using it because of current tx fees on eth mainnet tho
>>21625989
wtf augur is the one of the most complex smart contracts ever created
>>21626029
vitalik praise full decentralization, he just hates centralized oracles like link, because it's destroying basic idea of blockchain.

I dont mean theoretically, I know you can open a market for it on augur thats the entire point of it. I mean you can't bet with anyone because no one will bet on the market anyway so its pointless

I think Augur's long-term prospects are pretty good; short term not that great. Augur will probably be the de facto prediction market in 5 years but not in the short term
don't buy prediction market tokens if you want growth. I would just buy PNK

That's the point of prediction markets in general. If no one will bet against you on your market it means the event you describe will occur with 100% possibility.

>> No.21627389

>>21626997
No it doesn't mean that, it means augur is a piece of shit that no one cares about or is even looking at to check different open markets
