I always stay away from there overhyped projects, they tend to crash and burn after the ICO.

 Did you read the thread posted above your post? You may want to do that.

It points out that ETN had the most actual NUMBER of investors in history.

You reffered to Tezos which was CLEARLY a bunch of WHALES because it had a small number of investors, and raised $240 million.

Most expected that Tezos was only going DOWN first, but ETN is the opposite. It had 120,000 investors with only 40 million dollars because they cleverly placed the hardcap there.

ETN sold out 11 days early, when it was raising about 3-4 million a day. So there is about 50 million or more (because everyday the number of investors was increasing) of demand stacked up waiting for exchanges to open.

I have some considerations for this project. I am too far away to be an expert on crypto coins. I have just started trading it recently (Used to trade on Forex for years). All the markets are based on supply VS demand. After days reading and re-reading posts, infos and as much as I can of important infos about ETN, I have concluded that:

1 - If ETN was a SCAM, I am pretty sure they would have not stopped the ICON at 40m and would have raised more and more money and disappear after that.
2 - Instead of disappear, they are trying to get better systems for us (Monero news) and they keep in touch with everyone via email, social media, groups, etc.
3 - NONE can predict a price. That's impossible. It's up, as I said above, to the demand.
4 - It's a real fact that crypto world is still very young and a small number of people know how to walk into it. Ok, a few people knows about the existence of crypto, but most of them don't have a clue how to buy, how to use, for what does it serves, etc. ETN is looking to the masses, if they get sucess on this, the demand will be definitely HUGE.
5 - It doesn't really MATTER if it will dump at the first days, months or years, If they get success introducing the masses to it, it will grow up organically. So HODL!
6 - I have seen a LOT of people crying around groups for not buying enough coins, they are really sorry for it.
7 - About dumping it: If I bought at 0.01, WHY THE HELL I would sell for less than that? Dont make sense! If people sell their bonusses for 0.01.. I am sorry for them... it will grow later and they will cry again.

I believe in the ETN purpose, I see their vision for the future. I am in this project for at least 5 years (Unless It reaches a good price before that).

I'm very sceptical of these claims.  Electroneum are paying for Twitter retweets from botnets and also paying people to post positively on BCT.  How do we know that they aren't also gaming the investment statistics?

First of all, the Botnet FUD is NOT true.

2nd, are you refering to people getting bounties for having Electroneum in their sig?

That wouldnt fall under, "paying for posititive posts", as people can make any post they want, in any thread, they are only bounty coins because when they make ANY KIND OF POST, the sig is advertizing ETN links.

So, your entire post is incorrect.

And how about the over 20K Telegram users, is that a conspiracy, too???

Really?

How many more times are you going to come back here and try to mislead everyone

Isnt 12 TIMES, yes 12 POSTS EVERYONE, isnt that enough??

Where is the marketing? I doxed the dev team, which wasn't too hard when they post all their LinkedIn. They are big players in the internet marketing industry in England. They can do it for free!?! I even looked up the coins head guy Richard Ells and called his headquarters. I asked the secretary about Electroneum? I was transfered to a guy that asked me how he could help me with my questions. So I asked, "why aren't you marketing this ICO?". He said, "they are and more is coming." Do you see any marketing? WTF.

The ICO starts in 3 days!!


EDIT

No, it is definately not a scam.

They have raised 3 million already.

I was worried about the marketing, but now I see their ads everwhere I go on the internet, so the guy wasnt kidding when he said the marketing is coming!!

Damn!!! Ive never seen a coin hit mainstream news sites!!!





No! Electroneum is not a scam, I already bought it and waiting for november 1 for their project. Able to mine in our mobile phones and this is great. I love their concept.

I have a right to post here with my scepticism about the long term veracity about this project and the methods that the Electroneum team are using to promote it. I have been careful to not call Electroneum a scam.

My motivations are not personal gain, I am legally unable to invest in ICOs anyway due to the recent SEC rulings amongst others in my home jurisdictions.

Also, I am perhaps a a crypto old timer who values innovation and development over marketing and sales.  Electroneum could well be a good investment if your only interest is making money.

Lets see if I am to be proven wrong. Lets make this interesting.  I'll donate $500 to a charity of your choice if the price of Electroneum is higher than the first week high after 4 weeks. I'll try to remember to check in back here, if I don't just PM me.

Firstly I doubted if it was a real scam there
But as the team with the project gathered more than 3 mil I was sure it turned out to be a perspective project

it doesnt matter how much they gatherered.

did they do an aggressive marketing strategy?

yes.

did they reach many people?

yes.

did they had unconditional financial support by powers behind them?

likely, considering the cost of their marketing campaing. those powers will come back to them.

will it be successful and longterm enduring?

no, because its just an empty IT system claimed to be money claimed to be valuable, sold for money earned for time people worked!!!

They didnt spend but a tiny fraction of 40 million on internet ads for the ICO.

CPA for a download is WAY less than a dollar.

So for much, much less than 3-5 million, they will have more users than Bitcoin.

In your mind, where is the project then?

you cant call an empty IT system a currency..... even in harsh times, royal money was at least minted on lesser quality metals, people tend to realise the scam sooner or later.

even if electroneum will have short term success it will still just base it on its aggressive marketing campaign. It actually admits that already

sooner or later there will be then:

electroneum cash, electroneum gold, electroneum platinum...... and so on.

no change at all.

people work for the british pound because they still think the financial elite will distribute the wealth and evenly develop the country, or at least because the british financial inquisition gives them no alternative to do so. no point electroneum will do that, or at least they claim to be british, which should be a warning sign to all those that understand whats going on.

i at least bother with making a cryptocurrency dual layered, but not for electroneum the IT encription and wasting of energy is enough to tell others it is valuable

No, doing a lot of research into the team members and also constantly reading over the whitepaper and understanding the future of the coin, i am confident that this isn't a scam. Plus their marketing is pretty darn good. Although of course, don't take my word for it.

Definitely not mining but a mining experience.

Truthfully, who gives a fook if its mined or not, you will be getting free ETN anyways. I prefer to get free ETN without really mining Smiley Cheaper.
