This has been making it's rounds for a while and it seems like bitterness. It sucks because a Bitcoin version of Augur would be amazing, but I doubt this guy's project goes anywhere, just because of how he handles himself.
I'm new to Cryptocurrency, but I've followed prediction markets for years and there hasn't been a time in recent memory where so many exciting things are happening. I hear a lot of negativity about Ethereum, but I haven't been fully convinced by anyone's arguments yet. Enough people are making these arguments that there could be something to them, but the analysis out there is so shady and bias that I can't take any of it seriously yet. The fact he's said nothing about Gnosis is a simple example of why I don't buy this.
Why I haven't heard more about Hivemind?
I'm not sure how many in the PM world follow these, but the group he complains about at length seems to be the one working with respected people I've heard of, one with an actual team that is publicly named and have dwarfed the others in exposure. I'm still not sold on Augur, but the arguments I hear against them are shoddy at best.
