ICO Analysis: Pigzbe
Published on June 18, 2018
By Gerelyn TerzoTeamThe management team boasts more than 150 years of combined experience across education products. Filippo Yacob, founder and CEO, is a Forbes 30-under-30 entrepreneur who also founded Primo Toys and coding toy Cubetto, which received accolades from Montessori.
Pigzbe also boasts a team of advisors and investors, including Natale Ferrara, who is at the helm of ICO-Engine and Eidoo — the company behind the London cryptocurrency sculpture.
VerdictPigzbe is an ambitious project, as evidenced by its plans to replace the traditional piggy bank, but it’s also a promising one. Consider its ability to secure an early listing on leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex, this project appears to have the wind at its back. Traders are likely to find liquidity in the Wollo token.
It’s disappointing that the Wollo token won’t be issued in the United States, as American children could benefit from financial learning and tools, but Pigzbe must be looking to avoid having the coin designated and regulated as a security. But given its mission to educate children about saving and spending in a hands-on way, the project is sure to strike a chord with families who are keen on decentralization and the blockchain around the world.
Even if it doesn’t replace the piggy bank — which Pigzbe believes it should — the Wollo token could be used as an educational and fun tool for kids to learn about digital money. Familiarizing them with the blockchain and decentralization will introduce a whole new way of transacting that wasn’t available to previous generations. The cold storage is a nice touch that will teach kids early on that they need to secure their digital funds.
Risks One of the components of the Pigzbe ecosystem remains in development — the Wollo card for spending online and offline. While it’s only one of several moving parts to the Pigzbe project, we like to see completion. Any products that are dependent on the results of the token sale for the development add risk. -1
Cryptocurrencies haven’t officially made their way into the mainstream. Without regulation, the industry is still deemed risky by governments around the world, and therefore households may be reluctant to participate in a project that is built around the blockchain and cryptocurrencies, especially as it pertains to their children or a major life milestone like saving for college. -1.75
Growth Opportunity Numbers don’t lie. Pigzbie boasts more than 20,500 Telegram members; 8,100-plus followers on Twitter; nearly 5,000 Facebook followers; nearly 2,600 subscribers. +2.5

A seasoned management team in education tech and electronics that combined has “shipped millions of products across more than 180 countries.” Founding members boast project experience with technology leaders including Apple, Google, Nokia, IBM and more. This kind of experience is hard to replicate at a startup. +3

7.25 out of 10 for the Pigzbe ICO.
