The State of Prediction Markets and Crypto in 2019 with Joey Krug

Joey Krug (@joeykrug), founder of Augur and co-chief investment officer at Pantera Capital, joins Erik on this episode. A year ago Joey was on the podcast to talk about the launch of Augur, a prediction market platform. In this episode Joey follows up on that conversation to talk about what he’s learned in the last year and to talk about the state of crypto in 2019 more generally.They discuss the launch of Augur, how it has evolved over the last year and what’s next for the platform. Erik asks Joey what he’s changed his mind on in the past year and what his “requests for markets” are on Augur. They move on to discussing crypto more broadly, including staking-as-as-service, the state of crypto investing, what he’s excited about in the space, Ethereum, DAOs, and Keynesian versus Austrian economics.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.
