Kevin Monahan Is Now On Steemit!
Hello everyone, my name is Kevin Monahan and I am the founder of Oddsforecaster.com, a sports predictive analytic service, who has also solved the combination probability equation to deliver accurate fair value.
I used to be a professional licensed trader in New York and developed many trading algorithms and various trading tools during the Dot-Com era. After that, I went on to the investment banking arena assisting companies like Penthouse and Synergy Pharmaceuticals, become publicly traded.
That was the most absolute craziest time in my life! It was a remarkable learning experience to see both sides of the table. However, leaving that life behind has been the best move of my life. Yet, I still enjoy the complex mathematics and love creating Algo's.
Recently, I have been a guest speaker at the Fantasy Sports Expo, discussing ways to improve fantasy sports and ways to develop techniques to create and optimize your selections. Helping people increase their game is something I enjoy.
During the past 10 years, I have been a firm believer in Gold, Silver and Crypto currencies - and I am looking forward to offering my help to anyone wishing to better understand how to trade the Crypto currencies - or to understand the best time to exchange their Bitcoin.
It is my firm belief that the concept of 'Open Source' and the 'Hive-Mind' will be the key aspect of the necessary advancement needed for the human race.
It's my intent to do my part in sharing and to enlighten all I can reach in the spirit of open source, a free exchange of ideas, tools and concepts that can be built upon and improved faster than lightning, when placed into the hands of everyone.
Let's do it!
Welcome.
What are your thoughts on Augur?
Thank you for welcoming me aboard. More so for taking the time to ask me a question and starting my first engagement. Augur is a very interesting concept, I like it. Especially that its foundation is rooted in the conceptual ideas of Hayek. Mainly, if you remove the centralization and allow a true open market, the crowd can show you remarkable things.
I can certainly appreciate all types of predictive analytics. However, there are some caveats to the wisdom of crowds. Mainly when you rely on crowds to forecasts items that are not truly outside the embrace of the infamous 3rd party manipulation, predictions may not reach their full potential when the crowd isn't aware of all the information.
An entire article can be written on Augur. Do you have specific thoughts, ideas or questions that you would like some input on? Or are your concerns with its value?
I'm not currently holding any Augur tokens. But I'm super interested in seeing the dapp launch, as well as Gnosis.
I should read more about the failures of crowd intelligence to better assess these projects.
Thanks for the reply!
What is your interest in Augur? Are you looking to set up some contracts or see how the crowd predicts certain events?
