Augur may not have many users at the moment... but i can imagine a near future where workers displaced by automation could make money on this platform. Who else is going to have time to place a bet and contantly monitor these markets? Or, more realistically the markets will be taken over entirely by bots and AI who also operate using smart contracts. The bots would be able to analyze billions of datapoints scraped from the web and pay for api access via crypto. How could a human ever compete? Welcome to the future.
