Apparently the EOS website is down right now. Maybe that has something to do with the crowdsale.
I'm curious about holding stake in EOS for the long haul, since I think the idea of day-trading would probably drive me insane. Of course we'll have to see what happens with it as time goes on.
And I'm new to all this ludicrousness. Isn't the bottom line that although some people think it's foolish to buy so soon since they think the price will go down, nobody really knows what'll happen?
Personally, I'm interested in EOS because I think Steemit is very cool and seems to be working...hopefully it's not a ponzi scheme like I've read some people say it is.
And based on what I've heard in videos with Dan speaking, if EOS turns out to be everything it's cracked up to be (and maybe that's a big "if"), it'll solve the problems with Ethereum. I find using Ethereum to be a pain in the ass.
I do wonder if they'll be able to change the architecture significantly enough to enable widespread adoption, or if it would be too difficult without a "from the ground up" redesign. Will EOS, or something like it, be the platform to dominate, or will Ethereum be the "world computer"? Will there be multiple platforms competing for domination, at least for awhile, especially since all these ICOs are popping up all over the place? Will all that move extremely quickly in this post industrial revolution IT age? Lots of unknowns, I think.
And I'm still trying to get a sense of what's up regarding the purchase agreement terms. Does anybody know if Dan has said anything about this? Is everything on the subject just conjecture at this point? I understand lots of people think this crowdsale is a scam, and my understanding is the opposite view is that the language is designed to deal with US securities law. I saw on the website that EOS HQ is listed as being in the Cayman Islands.
Any clarification (if there is any to be had!) on all this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
