Worth noting is that while crowdfunding is great, and Counterparty is the best platform for it, crowdfunding and IPOs do not drive the value of XCP. Those actions are basically free and XCP is not required for them due to the founders not limiting the ability of bitcoin intentionally in order to force the use of XCP.
Crowdfunding with BTC on Counterparty network has a lot more friction than doing with XCP though. If XCP liquidity is good enough for such IPO, it's better to crowdfund with XCP. XBTC would help mitigating the friction, but requires trusting another party. Thus, crowdfunding does help driving value of XCP.
Great job dev Team!
your hard work!
I will keep watching
