Synthetix and Augur explained!

Decentralized predictions markets, and further down the DeFi rabbit hole!

This week we explain Synthetix -- a platform that allows you to trade all kinds of things like gold, cryptocurrencies, stocks -- and Augur -- a platform for betting on any event you want.

On CoinWatch Paul Puey (Edge CEO) and I put our money where our mouths are. We deep dive into the history, tech, & roadmaps for Synthetix and Augur. Then we each choose one of the coins to invest $100 in. This is not investment advice, we're just giving you a peek into our own portfolios and how we make decisions for ourselves. Keep in mind, I'm more interested in the team, the tech, and whether it's a cool project than in short term gains.

If you'd like a more in depth look at each coin, this week I released interviews for members with:
Tom Kysar - Augur Director of Operations, Augur Forecast Foundation
Joey Krug - Augur cofounder, Partner at Pantera Capital
Justin J Moses - CTO Synthetix
