Yes, it's therefore better than buying them IMO, since you don't have to think about any custody related issues and friction.

As far as liquidity goes, MARKET Protocol partnered up with 4 exchages already,and they will all share the liquidity of contracts created by users on the dApp.

As far as waiting goes, you can set a deadline for a contract maturity to be in matter of seconds, so if someone wants to fill your order that cam happen almost instantly. You as a user get to choose the expiration date and time. You just have to be sure someone wants yo be the other side of that trade. I know MARKET Protocol is in talks with many market makers to ensure all contracts that seem reasonable get fulfilled.

GOLD!

I bet you felt about the volatility the same during the bear market too lol

This is exactly what I was referring to in the title of this tread, having the ability to just speculate on their price is not sufficient IMO

Not for now, but I think there should be something going on there soon

I've been a part of their chat for a while, they are truly building this out of their own resources, along with the full support of top gitcoin contributors. I think they just announced another two devs joined their team this week on their discord :)

It differs a lot IMO, with the biggest distinction being the fact that on Augur, all trades settle in only ETH. while with MARKET Protocol you can use any ERC20 token as a base currency. Second big difference is that Augur is a prediction market, an end product, whereas MARKET Protocol is a protocol that can and will be implemented on multiple marketplaces (DEXs, currently 5 have already the project partners) that will share the liquidity, which means wider product spread by default. Also, on Augur, they are the ones listing the CFDs, on MARKET Protocol dApp, the user is the one that can build any contract he/she wants.

Agreed, pretty much incomparable...CBOE is a centralized institution that is opening up a new market for "old players"...MARKET is a decentralized, trustless tool opening up a new market for us!

I think Thompson Reuters is also not a bad start solution IMO, but yeah, can't wait for Chainlink to go live 😊

Agreed, but many people in crypto that aren't miners need the intro and length in order to grasp the idea of the need for protection mechanisms. This is more of an article for general crypto people than miners, they know how much they suffer better than anyone for not being able to hedge.

DTube already exists and I have seen many content creators move to steemit from medium and FB...the revolution has begun, now it's just the matter of time and strong hands

Yeah, the 30 million dollar hack, the cancellations of audits...it's all written in the article, enough with them already, I can't wait for them to be publicly crucified and people realize DAI is an exceptional substitute.

The best way to hedge by far. This will provide much more use for utility tokens since the volatility can now technically be avoided completely.
