The following is not financial advice.
Welcome to back The Scoop!
This is the next post at a place where we share analysis and opinions for interesting coins, tokens and pure gems in the vast landscape of the blockchain world. There's so many coins out there, but not a lot of free information (looking at you, paid groups) and analysis on them. The Scoop aims to change that by sharing and improving the data available for a given coin.
What is Expanse?
Launched in mid-late 2015 with a small team and no ICO, it has grown up to hold it's own. It's the "first stable fork of Ethereum" with a focus on DAO services such as Identity, Equity, Commerce, Governance and Charity.

The Final
Based on the FA, EXP looks like a low to medium risk with high reward potential if they continue to deliver and catch on. Picking it up under 30k sats would be bargain or around $7-$8 would be an upper entry while still expecting solid, crypto-style gains.
And that's your scoop!
