or you could buy Crypti at an exchange rate of 1067 satoshi and get them accepted at the ICO for a exchange rate of 1300 satoshi

Hey, stop that nonsense talk! Don't point out the obvious or everyone will try to do it.
(I grabbed some earlier at 1020ish, hoping for a bit more sub-1000).
But for Lisk and so for you it's bad. Because it's dead money with nearly no value after ICO.
If the ICO wasn't doing that well, I'd agree. But in reality I think they have (and will) take in more than enough BTC. So my meager contribution (talking about 1.5 btc or so) wouldn't exactly sway things a whole lot, be it btc or xcr.
If a big whale wanted to invest, he'd have to go with BTC anyway. Not enough XCR volume to support whale buying.
