One of the problems with ICOs in general compared to company IPOs is that you typically don't receive any shares/equity/control in the company. Further, a lot of ICOs offer only one potential for a return on your investment - if their tokens go up in value once they're listed on exchanges. Sure, they might skyrocket and "go to the moon", or, they might not. Many news streams are calling ICOs the next great thing. But frankly, I think it's quite unfair - you invest, yet you receive NO share of the company's profits! This leaves investors wide open to losing their money with nothing to show for it.
As a result of this, I'm very interested in any ICO that offers something more than just the value of the token.
Realisto is one of those rare ICOs that offers something "real" (backed by real world assets - property), as well as returns beyond the value of the tokens themselves. The big one for me is the monthly residual income generated from the underlying real estate investments made by the Realisto management team and from licensing income generated as the team resells/rents the platform to other real estate companies globally.
My only criticism is that the Realisto team are being a bit too cautious in their approach. They are starting with the German market that they know very well, and will slowly expand to international markets over time. My worry is that someone else might see the wonderful approach Realisto are taking, then copy that pattern and move a lot faster into the international markets. I'm also seeing a lot less "buzz" around the Realisto ICO than I'm seeing around some other ICOs. One ICO I've been tracking for example, launched just 10 hours ago, and has already sold 95% of their tokens and raised $US27M. When you go on these different ICOs' Telegram channels, they have 1,000s of users and lots of people talking and generating buzz and excitement. Realisto unfortunately doesn't have a Telegram channel where people can talk (only company announcements are sent out on the channel) - correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't find any other Telegram channel for Realisto. While this BTT forum is a place for people to talk about Realisto, it's very old school compared to a platform like Telegram. Realisto needs to be embracing Telegram and assigning a number of admins to always be online (24/7) to answer people's questions and generate buzz.
As a result, the pre-sale which is solid, is however still moving quite slowly compared to a lot of other ICOs.
I think Realisto needs to strike while they have the lead in this awesome area and start thinking a lot bigger, and immediately and rapidly expand their marketing efforts.
One other suggestion is to maybe add a special "Founding member" benefit, which gives only the pre-sale investors some super-special benefit around the international expansion. I'm thinking for example, early access to international opportunities when new real estate companies come onboard, and/or even better, maybe a small ongoing residual income to Founding members from every new real estate company that joins the platform (beyond just the licensing fees). To me, it's the international expansion that will make Realisto absolutely HUGE within a couple of years. Giving Founding members a small slice of that international expansion (again, going beyond the licensing fees), will make the tokens INCREDIBLY VALUABLE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER in the coming months.
In closing, the above comments aren't meant to be negative at all. I'm just expressing my observations and giving my suggestions for how to improve things.
If I didn't believe Realisto were onto something MAJOR and UNIQUE, I wouldn't have invested my money into the pre-sale (and, if some additional Founding member benefits can be added, I personally will be investing a lot more into the pre-sale!).
I look forward to any changes you might make, and feel free to reach out if I can help with anything (happy to send my CV privately to you).
Cheers.
