For reasons beyond me, EOS is now trading on Kraken at $2.22 per token !! This is much less than going through all the hassle of buying it through the ICO at EOS.io. I am starting to see articles comparing EOS to the likes of early Google, Facebook, etc.. and if Dan's claims and promises turn out to be true, I don't think this is much of a stretch. To wit:
Ether - tens of transactions per second
EOS - millions of transactions per second
EOS has no cost to the individual user. Costs are borne by industry paying for their allocated portion of network resources using the actual EOS future token (issued after the ICO is finished and a snapshot of the EOS ether erc20 place-holder tokens is taken to see who is entitled to an equal amount of actual EOS tokens).
There are no more hard forks. (A hard fork split Ether into Ethereum and Ethereum Classic; based on the disagreement to dial back the clock to nullify the theft of tokens from the DAO). EOS is more flexible and reparable in these cases; not requiring the drastic hard or the almost as dreaded... flaccid fork to repair the damage. I'm sorry--apparently it's called a "soft fork."
EOS coding language is purported to be easier to use for developers to create new apps ad infinitum, in less time and therefore, less overall cost. The EOS team has a solid track record having already created BitShares and coincidentally, another small obscure site called Steemit.com.
Even with the BitShares level blockchain, transactions are already at hundreds of thousands per second.
Most of this is common knowledge for crypto-enthusiasts... but for the green investor, a quick re-cap can be helpful. Always do your own research... and at the risk of inducing nausea - Don't invest more than more 2 months worth of profit from your weed sales or more than 10% of your trust fund.
This was our precious EOS up until the other day. Today, early Sunday morning 0337hrs... trading at $2.22.
I don't have any more to give... or I would be jumping all over this.
