Factom has selected Coinapult to be one of its partners on its asset allocation model. More details will be announced in the coming weeks, along with a breakdown of the best practices Factom will employ in its software sale. Since Coinapult can offer a wide variety of exchange integration and over the counter trading this shields the value the Factom Foundation collects from price swings associated in the market and preserves the value contributed by Factoid purchasers.

Because both the ~~marks~~ investors and the regulators are now so skeptical of appcoin IPOs, they now have to pretend it's a "software sale" to have any credibility at all.

The trend seems to be tapering off, but it's still alive. Meanwhile Ethereum seems to be taking a "money doesn't matter"/"blockchains are a friggin' database technology" stance even after their huge crowdsale. Here is Vitalik giving his understanding of economics, which he still maintains have nothing to do with Ethereum because he's "not designing an economic system":

He seems to understand a few things he didn't before, but still is lost in the forest.
