Great market outlook. How do you see this to be impacting the market in general, altcoins and new ICO's/IEO's? Do you agree with luckmcfly and Javi. We think they make great points here! Any input?

You are absolutely right about that (quote above), In fact, seasoned investors - or the most reliable ones - may think along the lines you mentioned. The other type may be looked at as speculators. Speculators, while they keep the market active on daily basis - in a sense - they actually hinder their own future opportunities. And, your remarks may be a very good advise for this group to reconsider their speculation strategies if they want to ultimately profit on the long term, otherwise they will be just profiting on one side and risking being victims of their own speculative strategies on the long term. This has been the trend in every speculative situation whether it is in the crypto market, forex, or equity and debt trading markets.

Thank you Shaw1,

In fact, we cannot find a better way to ensure transparency other than presenting the whole rationale behind the establishment of this effort. We appreciate the blockchain crypto-market current ecosystem with relevance of blockchain development to enhance and evolve the functionality of the decentralized ledger, on the other hand, we are hoping to add value to the stabilization of crypto market volatility by introducing certain economic backing to that activity. With support of the pioneers in the community and collaborating with all we can reach, we aim at sharing value creation with everyone.

We are building a global marketplace fintech based blockchain network with user friendly mobile interface and exchange, for citizens and governments to collaborate on implementing public projects and bridging public budget gaps, and accordingly ensure faster delivery of better public services quality and more jobs creating opportunities. We launched two essential parts of the platform in beta, being the crypto monitor and crypto exchange in partnership with well established global platforms, and we launched our bDollar utility token (bDLR) for business model early adopters status acquisition. We are backed by the first in the world public benefit corporation to be established to foster public private partnership and transform this activity into economic backed transactional "stable coin" at the time of blockchain platform launch. Our platform relies on sustianable growth priciples to effect public benefit impact globally through creating economic backing to cryptomarket investments from one side and prviding streamlined funding for reliable government public benefit projects from another side. This target is accomoplished through creating GOVEARN to act as collaboratiomn platform for governments and investors through crowdfunding for economically and asset backed projects, hence ensuring preservation of capital to the maximum extent possible.  GOVEARN certificate of incorporation indicates that the platform is establishing a fintech blockchain network relying on blockchain developed software to assist collaboration of individuals and corporate partners to participate in sustainable economic activities and community development through establishing, facilitating, and performing public-private partnership development projects with participating governments and international development organizations. Our core mandate is the promotion of economic and social sustainable development through promoting mobilizing funds for public projects implementation. By doing so, the platform could provide the global society with additional resources to effect public policy development projects that may lack financial, expertise, or organizational resources to be implemented. In addition, by assisting communities through public private partnership, the platform activities would eventually lead to job creation and higher living standards for the society. We designed our working business model around sustainability principles to guarantee the balanced development of people, place, and profit. The three pillars of sustainability gain equal support from our backing organizations. Contributors and partners collaborating on the platform would benefit from its operations through stabilized profitability and larger socioeconomic development impact. GOVEARN takes no role in selecting, managing  funding, or operating the collaboration between partners participating on the platform, instead, we only provide the marketplace technological solutions represented by building and maintaing the platform and any finacial transaction taking place on the platform is the sole decision of platform users.

Lock periods are essential in real projects cases as it may represent the highest security against speculation, which in tern may enhance coin holders protection. Contributors not willing to wait for lock periods to get their coins may be actually risking their own coins value.

Consider a situation when an ICO is taking place over an extended period of time, which in this case the long time only means the steady growth an ICO is targeting, if a contributor gets his/her coins today with higher bonuses as an early comer and with no restrictions on re-sale, that respective contributor can turn around and dump the coin at a preferential rate that may suddenly increase coin supply in the market, while new contributors with less bonuses as late comers may risk the dumped supply effect on their holdings.

To be fair and square, contributors may have to give weight to lock periods and consider that it may be for their benefit.

Otherwise, if a contributor is looking to speculate, then maybe he/she should consider an ICO with zero lock periods and accept the risks involved.

Perhaps, contributors need to consider the fundamentals of a project and not the mechanics of speculation possibilities. That is, if the contributor is looking for stable results and not risks compared to gambeling.
