Title: IPFS-FILECOIN-SHIFT-ATMOS
Post by: albio87 on August 10, 2017, 02:08:41 PM
hello guys, i saw this article about filecoin: https://www.coindesk.com/filecoin-presale-raises-52-million-ahead-ico-launch/

i wanted to invest in, but i'm not elegible as an accredited investor. In presale 52million from venture capitals, now there will be another raise from accredited investors so this is my question:

due to the huge amount of money throw in by big player like Union Square Ventures and Sequoia Capital i think it will be really big, so do you think it will affect also coins related to IPFS like SHIFT and ATMOS?

i'm not a tecnical expert so i would like to read opinion by who can understand these project inside.

I will investigate Filecoin and get back to you. Meanwhile you can read about the technological side of Shift here: http://currypto.club/hello-world/btc_shift/shift-an-ipfs-based-coin

I will make the Filecoin investigation half public (simple technological overview) and the other half detailed behind my paywall. It is cheap, $10 in any cryptocurrency, to get in for a whole month and access to everything else.

I would say filecoin is more similar to sia or storj than shift. Becaureful investing icos, maybe be wiser to wait till the coin is on an exchange. How many icos release their coin and it goes below the ico price? Also keep in mind sia and storj already have working products, they are way ahead already. Why not invest in those instead?

I'm with Fantum on this one...Invest in technology that actually exists and a proven track record.

I don't support Storj because it is centralized, but some people like that.

I personally use the Sia technology, which means a lot.
