Even Augur and Gnosis are overhyped IMO, their proponents don't seem to realise that these prediction markets already exist outside of the US. Their only differentiator is that they sidestep existing regulations.

Eh, it's like saying bitcoin has no value because electronic payment systems exist. And while I understand some would indeed argue that's the case, to me _trustless_ prediction markets have great value, enabling eg autonomous AI enterprises, self settling smart contracts linked to the "off chain" world.
