Correct me if I am "wrong," but one is valued in USD, the other is valued in a decentralized currency

So here's the tagline:

    Augur combines the magic of prediction markets with the power of a decentralized network to create a stunningly accurate forecasting tool - and the chance for real money trading profits

Prediction markets aren't magic, they're kinda-sorta in the ballpark. And you're right - you can't make money on HSX.

But having messed about with it, that's A-OK by me.
