I want you to read this first:
2 weeks ago, I stated my opinion to all ICOs as the answer to this post:
What's ICO? Fundraizing of some startup, right?
Statistics tells us, that around 90-95% of all startups (doesn't matter, is it linked to blockchain and tokens or not) are failing to develop further.
Before investing in ANY startup or ICO, you should accept this statistics.
Scam ICOs is something different. But you can figure it out from their whitepaper or after chatting with the team a bit.
And yet, people will always be stupid. Want proof?
Here it goes https://uetoken.com/
Even existance of this token means a lot.
Checking the amount contributed proves the point of human stupidity
Not much changed since that comment. Only new proof of stupidity appeared - JesusCoin =)
btw, already raised 199,94 Eth =))))
Me personally invested few times, last one was Plexcoin. My post about it.
Their ICO collected 94% of the planned amount - almost $2,8 millions. I know, there were lots of posts that it's a scam. Well, let's see, I cannot predict the future but I still consider this risk worth taking.
What I found lately
https://whaproject.com/
Current phase of the project - pre Pre-sale =)
Their pre-sale is to start on October 16. Why am I so excited about it? well, here are some reasons:
1. Extremely different way of thinking in general - they want to create an app that will allow users literally sell their info about heart rate, blood pressure, weight changes and so on - everything that app user is able to collect through different health trackers. How crazy the idea is? Well, read their whitepaper, it seems that they really know how to do it!
2. Way too ambitious, not "just another project" - planning to PAY to their users. whaaat?? =) that's just crashing my brain, but again, read the whitepaper, they do have a plan to make this thing work!
3. Planning to use the useless - well, I bought a fitness tracker, Mi Band 2 to be exact. It collects some data about my health, but let's be honest - nobody need that data, even me most of the time =) and they plan to buy it from me! I'm definitely in for that!
4. Their team - that's something interesting as well:
- founder - polish, I guess? (according to his last name) - 7+ years in software development projects! this guy knows what to do!
- co-founder, blockchain specialist - russian, 140% (according to his last name) - 17+ years of experience in computers. Wow, how old is he?!
- programmer (they call him - backend developer) - arab or indian maybe? (according to his last name) - 9+ years of experience. What an arab is even doing in this team? How? =))
- economist, b2b specialist - russian girl (according to her last name) - 9+ years in b2b and sales. They have b2b specialist already! how deep is the project planned? just wow
Oh, information about their programmer - worth special mentioning:
a passionate software engineer who has the creativity to envision the big picture and the meticulousness to handle all the little details... ... Has an insatiable thirst for knowledge and skill, in continuous self-improvement search.
Hmm... That's something I've never read before, especially about programmers =)
My opinion
Their idea - revolutionary, without exaggeration. Can they do it? Well, if pre-sale and ICO goes well, I really believe they can. After reading their whitepaper (oh yeah, I'm the one who reads that boring stuff =))) ) I have a strong feeling that they not only capable of making their plan come true, but even more - they have experience for that and precise plan for that.
Their project has steemit account (that's how I found them, lol) -
Summing up
I'll warn you once again, investing in something (excluding yourself) is always a huge risk.
As for me, I'm got infected and inspired by this project. I'll invest during their pre-sale because I trust in team, in their idea and I also want to get their tokens at really low price. During actual ICO, the price will be x 40,5 times more. And at first day of pre-sale, they will provide 20% more as bonus.
