Arbitrage opp:
Write a program to take the opposite side of any bet that you can hedge in the public market.
For example: if someone bets against Tesla, and you can take the opposite side, but (more) cheaply offset your risk in the option market.
- toine_toine 8y agoThe only problem is you don't know what the value of ETH will be 2-3 days in the future.
- somebodythere 8y agoYou could hedge the value of ETH in fiat markets, or you could wait until Augur supports betting with Dai.
- theptip 8y agoHow would you hedge the value of ETH? I'm not aware of a way to short it.
- somebodythere 8y agoYou should be able to do it on BitMEX. Shorting CBOE Bitcoin futures could also get you part way there.
- MusaTheRedGuard 8y agoMultiple ways to short ETH, as mentioned by another user. Including on augur itself! See: https://augur-cfd.com https://augur-cfd.com
- theptip 8y agoSure... in theory. I'm skeptical that there is going to be anywhere near as much demand for 5x levered exposure to ETH as there is for shorting ETH.
