ODN Obsidian - good bet for 2018?

[pure_happiness_inside]

what is ICO price for this?

At the crowdsale 1 bitcoin bought 21,433 ODN, so that's about 4665 sats, or around 19 cents USD, right now it's 2568 sats or 42 cents USD, so it's down in terms of bitcoin, but up in terms of USD!

I originally had a small position in it but I'm slowly realizing its value. There are many elements going for it:
 - it is a fork of stratis, and look at what the price of stratis did!
 - it is a platform for private dapps, and privacy coins are doing very well
 - it has a masternode, and it is one of the few coins that are both solid projects and also feature a masternode. I think masternode coins have very good economics because it locks a lot of supply so that price movements are much magnified when good news come out.

why buy some forks when you can just buy the real deal Stratis ? Strat three digits $ next year anyway. 

Obsidian is an improvement upon stratis not just a copy of it - obsidian is a decentralized application platform. It also has a much smaller market cap than stratis.

Because Stratus market cap is is 60x higher. ODN has greater upside potential.

Stratus needs to become a top coin to see 60x growth, and there is tough competition. ODN just needs to become a midcap to see that upside. ODN can do 60x on speculative pumps alone.
