I really want to invest in Lisk, but the more I read into it, it seems like Lisk = Crypti with very little changes.

Even their websites are identical with some colors/images changed.  Have a look:
Crypti: https://crypti.me/
Lisk: https://lisk.io/

I'm not entirely against this, because Vanilla coin surged after simply changing their name and reinstating an updated roadmap.  In the end, I'm an investor and I simply care about ROI.  A lot of people are saying Lisk is a scam, but I really don't care that it's technically inferior to Ethereum or that it's an ICO - again, I care about making a profit on my investment in the short-term.  So don't lecture me about 'scam coin' blah blah... same was said about Ethereum, and the ICO investors made roughly 71,000% if they bought at the initial stages and sold at the peak.

I just want to know whether people think if there's a good enough chance to make money on the Lisk ICO.  Will we be able to fool enough people to baghold while we cash out?  Are most people who would invest already in?  Who will we sell to?  Ethereum got some serious support, and regardless of what you naysayers say, the industry is starting to adopt its technology.  Vitalik is a genius and was somehow able to convince Nick Szabo to praise Ethereum.  There's plenty of big companies involved.  I don't feel that kind of confidence in the people running Lisk.  The lead is a kid who is still part-time in school; any time someone pitches a startup for investment capital they ask if the founder is 100% in... if the lead of Lisk is not 100% in it and only running the project at night, what does that tell us?  

Another concern is the rapid hype even before the coin is launched.  Ethereum was much more slow to release announcements, which were due to actual developments.  Lisk has announced their Microsoft Azure plans before they even get to the actual development.  That concerns me.  

Is there anyone here who made a profit on the Crypti ICO?  Would you go into Lisk?  

Your real intention to post this is pretty obvious. Next time be more subtle.

I think your intentions seem more subtle and shady.  What side are you on? 

There are no sides here.

Im on the same boat as op wanted to invest, but the project seems shady. 10k btc invested in a forked crypti and rebranded, that raises some questions.

This is good question mate, just making sure that your investment will raised up is valid I really don't have much info as of now with lisk the only thing that I'm waiting from them is the partnership with microsoft that's the only thing that interest me. but same with any other alt we will only know if people will adopt after ICO. Sorry if i can't give you any help just wanna support you with your point of view of earnings. good luck to your future decision mate.

LISK is completely overbought at this point.  You'd be paying somewhere in the neighborhood of 15000 satoshis for ICO coins.

The highest market bid is 3500 satoshis.

cheaper coins will be available when the launch gets dumped to absolute shit.  There are no winners here (except the devs of course)

I think the whole Microsoft partnership is a little over hyped.  As stated....

Marley Gray told CoinDesk:

"We want, and frankly our customers want, access to every blockchain. It could be two guys in a garage that forked bitcoin and had this genius idea and people want to try that out. We don’t want to have any barriers. We’re open to all. We help even the smallest of players onboard."
