One of the projects I have been most excited about since discovering the #crypto world is @AugurProject It's parallels to current apps will only accelerate adoption and showcase the capabilities of blockchain technology 🚀 @coreyj_miller makes some excellent points ⬇️

1/ For some reason no one seems to be talking about the @AugurProject launch on July 9. If it successfully launches, it will be the most complicated dApp to ever launch on Ethereum (kudos to @joeykrug and the team).

Love this write up by @brunoraillard 🔥 The 🇫🇷 start-up ecosystem is just getting started and very excited to see it continue to grow. Always have been highly impressed with French founding teams (unsurprisingly) and am pumped for the companies they are building! 🚀
