The Augur team is heading across Asia 🌏
ETHTokyo → KBW → TOKEN2049
We’re excited to be there and would love to discuss what we’ve been working on. If you’ll be around, feel free to reach out. See you there!
Starting with @AugusLSN (@AugurProject) on the difference between prediction markets and gambling:
"In a casino, the house always extracts. In a sportsbook, the odds are negative-EV by design
A real prediction market is an open order book. Nobody inside the protocol has a privileged position over you"
And on whales pushing the odds in their own favour:
"Sure, with enough money you can push 40% to 80%
But lying to a prediction market means putting your money on the table for everyone else to take"
Official fork resources:
Exchange support tracker: https://t.co/AT0FN9YoPS

Always verify the URL before connecting a wallet. ForkWatch is read-only; migration happens through the official migration tool.
Nobody from Augur will DM you about migration. Watch for impersonators and unofficial migration sites.
Final call for REP holders. Migrate now or forever hold your peace!
Still haven’t migrated? The window is closing.
Complete migration before August 1.
Unmigrated REP will likely be deemed worthless.
After this no more fork-spam, we promise (except a post-mortem)
People would compete to outraise each other on each outcome, with the winner getting the losers stake.
Most likely the scammy side would have alot of trouble raising capital, while the "John Deere wasnt said in the birthday message.." crowd wouldnt.
How does it play out? scammers lose money.
From today’s conversation:
@AugusLSN delivers a final reminder to REP holders to migrate before the August 1 deadline.
We want you! To migrate your token.

Two more exchanges on board, we're down the wire!
@okx and @bitpanda will handle the REP migration automatically for anyone holding REP with them. No action needed on your part.
If your REP sits anywhere else, migrate before August 1.
