Anyone know how many tokens have been sold so far?

Exactly. Isn't it surprising that all these connections don't seem to have been made in the past? When I was at Uni (back in the day) there was very little link to the outside world. And these guys already have built up connections with industry. Think about it. Ernst and Young, IBM... the list goes on.

And to think that in the beginning, blockchain was just a simple ledger idea. It's expanding in uses as fast as people's imaginations. The future looks bright.

These guys are up for an award at the Blockchain Expo in Amsterdam at the end of June.

I think that once the word gets out about this and people look at its potential, a lot of money is going to come flooding in. As far as I know, no-one else is doing anything like this, so they'll be the first in the market. Good position to be in, because others WILL follow. The market is just too big not to.

You and me both. Too many getting dumped on DEXs before they get a chance to shine. Hoping the CV guys can get a decent launch. They seem smart enough.

I agree, because it's so easy to do one now. Of the ones I've done/ am doing recently, my feelings have changed as I've gone on.

They are: Howdoo - Massive hype, but the timing has worked out well. Taking on a huge market, but pretty confident of a good return in the short term.
              Contract Vault - Still under the radar, but building organically. Real world use. Not much competition. Very confident of a good return in the mid term
              Dorado - Was confident. Now not sure sure. Whitepaper claims seem a little overstated. Investors not happy with some changes. May dump on listing.
              NeuroChain - Perhaps too ambitious. Very, very quiet though. Still quite confident but accept will be a long long term project
              Invacio - Was extremely bullish. Dumped 90% in first week of listing. Big shock. Going to be a long wait, but I still believe it will get there.

That's three out of five that I'm not so sure on anymore. I could be wrong on all of them. So many variables to take into consideration, and many are not under the control of the company. I'm leaning more towards things I think will do well in the mid to long term now. Hype is too artificial sometimes, though sometimes it is warranted. However, it is too easy to get swept up in the wave of enthusiasm.

Just my thoughts on my investments recently.

Anyone who makes cheese with holes in has my vote. I think I'm going to go in on Contract vault. Pretty good bonus at the moment, but not so big that whales dump on release.

I haven't done many yet. Pretty new to the ico game, but problem is, the whitepapers are great adverts and then you get the product home and it doesn't do what they promised. So many screw ups too. Token distribution delayed. Exchange problems. Don't know anything about Bitclave, but I've heard the name. Like I said, I'm looking at Contract Vault too. It's all lawyers in Switzerland, so probably not a scam. Website looks pretty pro. 10x would be bloody great.

I reckon the days of 100x are behind us now. I guess I got into crypto too late.

Have you had any bad ones recently? Seems like bear season has messed a lot up.

Agree with a few here that team is essential, but don't forget that TBAR were totally public and turned out to be criminals.

Add to team the need that the ico fulfills. Is it something that is necessary or will make the world a better place? Do people want what it does?

Then go into metrics. Is there too much coin supply?

But even after all this....

I went in pretty hard with Invacio. Massive idea and great team. Small supply. Price crashed due to factors outside control of the project. I still believe in it and will continue hodling for the long term, but it's a mess when everything looked so good.

Got into Howdoo on presale, and with the state of facebook's reputation, I reckon that will go well. Team and hype is good for this one. Fingers crossed.

The new one I'm checking out at the moment is Contract Vault. It's run by lawyers, so I reckon they know the repercussions of any fraud. It also fulfills a need that I hadn't thought of - contracts, buying and selling templates and customs. Token is necessary for the platform, but everything gets converted automatically from fiat, so for non-crypto users, it's no big deal. Thinking of investing a little there. Looks good to me.

Ultimately, everything can look good, but hey ... this is crypto. You never know which will crash and burn, even if everything looks great.

Hope this is as good as it looks.

Anything that simplifies the payments process away from standard banking structures just has to be a good thing. Hope this takes off. fast.

Look interesting.
