So atm people would prefer Bond or Prediction markets? I'm curious. What do you think would bring in more liquidity? I would go with bond markets. Augur already has all the media, etc, it would be a waste to build something and compete atm. Bond markets make more sense imo.
Its a good question. I'm thinking Bond markets are the harder of the two to deploy and has greater chance of failure than prediction markets. We haven't seen bond markets done in a decentralized manner. Although to do Votecoin/REP style PM's would be more difficult than bond markets.
So I'm not sure. A PM would bring many eyes towards Bitshares because of the countless questions being asked. Coupled with referral it could be quite viral.
Bond+PMs+ Referral = Next big thing.
We should go with whatever brings more liquidity.QuoteAccording to numerous gambling industry experts, Augur will probably surpass all major gambling platforms in the near future.

The link in your quote links the exact same article. What industry experts? I mean, that article doesn't mention who those industry experts are or some kind of study, plus it may well be biased. Like it is, it seems like a hype article. I would love to see a study on that as I'm very curious about it but the link redirects to the exact same page....
