Tom lee is a top bitcoin maximalist, he had been consistently bullish even throughout the bear market. His claims may not be as evident in most market situation but it has pose regular steer of confidence in investors most especially the new ones. $14000 is not out of range but reaching that price between December and now can be scary. The whales and traders in charge of the price movement are wise enough to take the coin through due process into the bull market.

A good idea about startups is to know how to start with minimum amount. ICOs may not be able to raise the size of money by projects mentioned in the OP again,now or maybe in future, they were able to exploit investors confidence in the space then. More also the difference in the softcap and hardcap should not be too large, it calls for concern. Some projects, most especially in energy sector may demand high amount of money, I think private sale and government should be committed for a certain percentage of funding

I wont like to welcome any form of FUD. I dont think it was responsible for the present market situation and it even came later than the reaction, actually that size is capable dumping the market with a big price cut but since it didnt we should try to enjoy our coffee in peace. It is surprising how people watch for any movement in the market and wallets, sadly they cant deprive the movement or know the purpose.

I noticed few addresses were mentioned on the etherscan as holders, I like to know if the tokens were not distributed at the sale on latoken? also the information on the percentage of token sale on your website, does it include the amount sold on latoken?

I hope its what they can amend in the shortest time. They should be able to check the confidence level of investors with the next IAO on their platform. This could affect teams from approaching the exchange if the IAO fails so there might be ripple effect of that decision asides velic value drop, I believe a lot of people are aggrieved with the manner of reward esp with the mining.

bounty program reward has been slated for 25th April, 2019. Other distributions have been slated between 15-25 April, check velic and bounty managers group for further clarification. No detail on velt pre-registration reward

Since 2017, this over 2 years the project finished the ICO. By now investors must have lost confidence in the project idea and team

The present situation of the market wont affect the future of the coin, might be difficult to predict but I can read reaction even among financial institution leaders. IMF, Christine lagarde in its recent news consider cryptocurrency to be shaking financial system. Bank are considering having their own cryptocurrency. The challenge with government and financial institution is the decentralization factor which they cant control.  

It is all manipulation and when they thought it was over, the bull returns. The bull just keep pushing and frequent correction and push back at some intervals. I always believe bitcoin is able to walk up with price if investors' confidence is alive.

The IAO is over for up to week now, there should be update on the spreadsheet at least before distribution. I want to believe the bounty manager is not in collusion with the team to deprive us our reward early. We should not be the victim here since we have done our part of the deal please. THough the team has emphasis not to distribute any token asides velic that announced.

I am a good supporter of this project,though it took me 3 weeks to decide to carry the signature after reading about the project, I also noticed very few high rank members were carrying the signature but am surprised to see the community grow over in other fronts: 100k members on telegram and 28k followers on twitter. I wish the admin here can maintain this responsiveness even after the crowdsale and provide a good exchange with liquidity. sometimes it is better to be underrated.

Maybe all crytocurrency specialists with vast knowledge of the space are now engaged. the first 2 years of ICO adopted most of them though some seemed to be scam but most wide areas where the personnel were involved they are making progress. The token still enjoy a good volume daily and very active team. In the past year the ICOs had struggled to employ good hands even with well packaged whitepaper.

The so called ' tokenomics' is not working maybe they should try plan b if they got one.

The currency we trade here is patience not even bitcoin itself. We all know the $20000 price is the what we want to beat before we head higher, No prediction have read looks beyond $20000 this year.  Some might be surprise when we reach $6k and hang there for another 3 months. We just need to know how make use of all the position in the market before hitting the next ATH

The whole token giving to hunters was 7.5 million so who was selling the 5 million on that exchange definitely not hunters. The custody may either be an investor or the team. we were told they gave 2.5 million to the exchange, calculation will help. 2.5 billion is still with the team they can afford to release some to the market now and nobody will know.

It is one of the interest factors that i like about Ethereum, that is, having more users but reduced price ,and bitcoin lost more users and gain higher price. Sometimes I believe less users can be good for price due to scarcity.

If you have more influence in the space, you can search for good projects and negotiate to be bounty campaign manager. You can build your profile along that line. In some case it might demand opening new account for each campaign which the ban of account wont affect. Besides if you didnt get involve in plagiarism, how did you get yourself ban in the first case?, cause such position in the space requires hardwork and skills, am afraid can you keep up with pressure.

The bottom was around $3200 last 3 months, which I consider not far from the present $5200. This will still be qualified a good buy for any trader or investor. The coin is still heading beyond $20000,at that price 2017/2018 investors will just be breaking even and heading towards profit.

investors are looking at something more attractive than whitepapers, Old crypto investors have so much learnt so much out of the loss they made from several scams in the past, so are more difficult to convince. Partnership with existing and thriving institute will definitely attract investor. Imagine an ICO with Microsoft partnership, especially when it has a relevant use case with the institute.

IEO is the order now but there are revelations of scam for recent IEO which will give subsequent project food for thought. Probably we might start giving preference to exchanges with credibility. Everyone looks hungry for money
