The sale slows down. I Think we could reach 15 millions maximal

I think the sale is now slowing but will pick up again later.
Don't forget she has a conference next week. If i remember correctly all previous conferences also offer Tokens at discounts.. so some money will flow in during the conf.
The Paragon team has a nice marketing department and i think they know very well what they are doing.

Hi There somewhere i read only can sell 20% of the coins after ICO and the coins are listed?  can you confirm if i can sell all the coins when a exchange is listed?

No op to answer???

[Rigorous]

Do you guys think ParagonOnline will generate enough income? It looks like something between Reddit and Steemit, but you have to vote with ParagonCoins. According to the whitepaper they are expecting 10 million ParagonCoins will be used.

Looks like the pre sale for whales was more successful than running sale, i guess the timing was better.
Btw whats the point of second crowdsale which will take place no sooner that 2021 with 50.000.000 tokens?

They have a budget 100 times of us, maybe more. Of course it will raise more funds.

The thing is more than 1.5m $ from little investors is a great sum.  25645 participants is also huge.

Over 25k different investors show that many people believe in cannabis combined with the blockchain.
I am looking forward visiting one of those paragon centers.

PARAGON has now 26k ICO participants and still counting. It is also enjoying popular support among crypto enthusiasts and investors who see great potential for this project.

26k ppl are huge number in ico so there is less whales,ico flippers and coin will be more stable
its good that we gather supporters not flippers we better get believers and not few more $ from ico flippers

[primeer]

each token is valued around $1, 70m token has been sold already and there are 200m tokens. isn't that just too much?

[viljy]

when is last day of sale? how many million PRG we are expecting?

ICO ends 15th Oct.
Total token amount for stage 1 of ICO is 100,000,000. 70,000,000 have been pre-sold, thus hard cap for crowdsale is 30,000,000.

this is a huge sum! the projects performance will benefit from that!!!1111 ...hopfully more and more

1,607,665 PRG sold in ICO right now and the pre sale stats shows the popularity and future of this project. people who want to invest, this is the time for you. Once it hits exchanges, I dont think the price will ever come down.

Already 1,634,617 PRG. Pretty quick ICO. Great popularity and good concept influenced success.

[ParRus]

each token is valued around $1, 70m token has been sold already and there are 200m tokens. isn't that just too much?

After 1.5 hours, the price of the token will be even greater,
I imagine what price will be when he goes to the stock exchange! , good opportunity to make 10x

[cantdecide]

I forgot, do we already know where the first Paragon Center will be build or where they want to rent?

good opportunity to make 10x? i think this will be below the ico price a couple of days after the token sale ends.

I think you're right Primeer, at the beginning we will see a price under ico price, but I'm sure it will substantially up once the project will deliver

Americans and Chinese can not participate in any ICO, but they can buy tokens on the exchange - hence the demand will be,
in addition one news - about entering the stock exchange - immediately raises the price, i think so 

[Elkmar]

Is the fund raising still on track? Looks like they have reached 35% of their minimum goal. Maybe because of the recent confusion about the legal status of ICO the rate of funding has slowed down a little.

Haven't they reached their goal already after the 3 first phases which were sold out?

I'm sure they made there min goal, 70M tokens sold during the presale but stil 28,5M Paragon Tokens for sale!
Grab them now or you will be sorry later

This projects is getting the funds
If not 'The Game' will invest something!

Well, with 70M raised, I'm quite sure the goal is reached since a while.

[saintkamei]

With recent uncertainties regarding the ban of ICO in China and the correction happening with the crypto currencies, would it still be a good idea to go ahead with this? I know Paragon has a solid team and all though.

Still quite a lot of time to raise money. They have a high target, but i think they will raise a lot more then they have now. I'm not a bit fan of lowering the bonus like this, but i guess it's first come first serve 

[rz20]

Any idea what was the pre-ICO price of each token was in USD? Would it be a good idea to buy the tokens now or the price of each token is the lot more then pre-ICO?

Six Predictions For The Marijuana Industry In 2017
1. Los Angeles Will Become The Marijuana Capital
Move over Denver, Adam Bierman Chief Executive Officer of cannabis investment firm MedMen Capital believes that the City of Angels will steal the spotlight from the Mile High City. Bierman said that by some estimates, Los Angeles's medical marijuana market alone is already close to $1 billion, easily overshadowing Colorado’s entire market. The city is expected to pass an ordinance in 2017 that will clear the path for a proper licensing program and open up the recreational market. Bierman said that capital is flowing into the area for local ventures as investors begin to smell money in the emerging market.
2. A Sports League Will Green Light Marijuana
Bierman believes that in 2017 a major sports league will approve the use of cannabis for medical purposes. Many professional athletes have turned to using cannabis to treat pain and head injuries and are rejecting prescribed opiates. With medical marijuana legal in 29 states, the players are pushing to be treated just like other patients.
3. A Primetime Network Show With A Marijuana Theme
With many polls showing that most Americans approve of legalizing marijuana, it won't be long before a major network will use marijuana as a backdrop. It's been over a decade since Showtime had a hit with Weeds. That series focused on a suburban mom that sold pot to make ends meet. It was considered ground breaking at the time with its taboo topic. Now HBO has High Maintenance and MTV's got Mary + Jane. Adam Scott from Parks and Recreation got a green light from NBC to develop a show called Buds about a dispensary in Denver. There isn't any timeline yet as to when the comedy could hit the air waves.
4. An Increase In Interest For Synthetic CBD
With the Hemp Industries Association and the DEA battling over the legality of cannabis extracts like cannabinoids or CBD, there is an expectation for increased interest in synthetic cannabinoids. Seth Yakatan, the chief executive officer of biotech company Kalytera, said, “With AG Sessions and the DEA's clarification that plant derived CBD isn't legal federally, there will likely be interest in synthetic forms of CBD, which is what Kalytera has been testing the efficacy of for a few years.” Aside from the debate over whether CBD is legal or not, Yakatan is right that synthetic products do not have the legal limitations of other products. However, the synthetic products are not believed to be as effective as the natural products according to some patients. Fear over legal issues could create more demand for the synthetics.
5. The Growth of Craft Marijuana
Sasha Kadey, Chief Marketing Officer of vaporizer distributor Greenlane, said he expects that as market supplies grow, prices will fall, causing a commoditizing effect. “This is leading to premiumization," he said. "Much like the alcohol industry experienced during its maturation, with producers now seeking to differentiate with premium packaging, brand building, so called “seed to sale” storytelling, and other value adds.” Other growers will stress their organic features, while some will push celebrity endorsements. It will be the year of the craft bud.
6. Recycling Marijuana Failures
The Cannabis Business Alliance is hoping to work with lawmakers to create options for marijuana that fails pesticide testing. Currently marijuana producers have to destroy crops that fail testing. The CBA is working towards a new rule to allow for these harvests to be turned into solvent-based concentrates that would be considered safe.
