It is not clear if it is a paid article - which is just advertising - or a real one.

It would indeed be a good idea to have some bounty campaign running for the ICO, perhaps a signature campaign. These days ICOs are having a difficult time since the whole crypto sector is depressed. However unlike so many wannabe projects, Rasputin is an already working project which is seeking to grow even more and it relies on the cash flow of non-crypto people, which in the current market conditions is a good thing. And since ROC2 tokens, now sold for a few $ will give a purchasing power of over 100$ to these non-crypto customers, earning some of these through a signature campaign could be a good deal for many in this forum, and could help to spread the info about this ICO.

Is there any official ANN for this project? I've read somewhere that spankchain is dead. I'd like to find some confirmation of this rumor.

It has been proved beyond any reasonable doubts that this project is a scam, so why would people still act as if it isn't?

I truly love this project and I'm going to invest. Are you having plans to promote this ICO adequately so as to raise the necessary contribution? I see first week of contribution has not been very big, possibly not too many people are yet aware of the ROC2 ICO.
These days there is the Venus Berlin Sex Fair, the biggest sex fair in Europe, are you planning to promote Rasputing there too? That would be useful. If you don't, it means 5 people for marketing are not enough, you need more. Consider sex fairs in the future.

In hindsight we will look at this price as an incredible oppurtunity and be puzzled that so many missed the chance to fill their bads with 90% discounted NEOs.

If you look at the daily graph you can see how the price has stabilized for a while now, this could be already a phase of accumulation, which means time to buy.

What is the V3 fork mentioned in the title about? You don't need to explain, but just please provide a link with all the story, since reading back the Whole thread is not an option.

The year will soon be over and it has been a truly horrible year for ICOs, almost all has seen their tokens losing most of their value and so many people have lost so much money. How could it have been worse?

In MArch 2018, at the time of your OP, it was probably not Worth since the market was in the early stages of a bear market. Now that the price has retraced much lower, it starts to be quite interesting to invest in NEO again.

Asking about ICOS which will give your 3X on investment in September 2018 is a symptom of too much weed. Slow down, bro, slow down...

Pandemia is an excellet name for a funnycoin, and/or for a community coin distributed via airdrop or other social means. But I see that your purpose is just another copy/paste masternode coin where you just want to cash out by selling masternodes as usual. Such a pity.

Yes, that is a great news, and I can't wait for mainnet either. However, I'd be very happy if the team would launch some Bounty campaigns prior to that so as to enlarge the adoption base.

In this bear market my choice of investment would be little cap coins which have bever been pumped and therefore are not tanking now. Stable choice with huge possibility of growth. Coins like Twist, Zero.

What's most impressive about this project is that it has been announced ny theymos. As for the project itself, I didn't really get all details. I've given a short look at the whitepaper, but it seems to me that it doesn't explain too much. The percentage of returns that are promised to investors sounds a bit puzzling to me, as well as the mention of a "planned pump".

As it may be clear by now, that was probably just the nth bulltrap. I had suspected that and planned to seel something but then I was afraid to be wrong and I didn't. Now I have to witness the dump...

OMG if Blackrock is entering the crypto game that will not go unnoticed. That will really be huge. In fact, Blackrock as far as I know is one of the biggest assett managers in the world.

That is a nice website for stats
But the question why CMC has won the race of popularity about such charting sites is an interesting one.

This is the 10 billion question everyone has in their mind. Has the altcoins rise all been a bubble which has now popped? Yes and now, it has been a bubble but there will be more, and bigger ones. That seems to be the normal price behavior in cryptos. Prices go up in time, with occasional retracements of up to 90-99% of their value. Give or take.

Buyback promise is a good point. This should somehow offer some protection for the price in the future. There are a few projects out there who have done the same.
