even in the worst case scenario how many coins have held high market caps or pumped over the years with 0 features other than basic blockchain function? the altcoin market is all about speculation and hype. augur, iconomi, waves, golem, digixdao, lisk all hold high market caps for months based on speculation, promise of upcoming features, and money collected for development. get out there and start hyping/pumping. blockchain 3.0 unlimited scalability to the motherfucking moon
1) As an investor I very much do care if the team of the project delivers what they where talking about prior to the ICO, and if the coin will hold any value based on actual usage as opposed to hype. Actually many investors (including myself) invested because of this pretense of features that will be ready and released on mainnet (!!)
2) Regarding hype, do you really think the community will be blindlessly backing this for indefinite? Only real progress and proof that agreements are respected will enable such behavior. Also the fact that the team is so small is not to the advantage of the project.
3) If the HEAT team do not deliver what they clearly stated in the past, and considering the current sentiment around the project, it is less likely that we will see mad hype and interest surrounding this that could cause massive increase in value. Rather it is likely that this will evaporate to oblivion pretty quickly if things continue on current path.
4) Any person with a shred of decency would feel pretty bad inflating and hyping a coin that has nothing behind it but lies and dishonest presentation. I must state again, I really really hope that it turns out that this project is not a dishonest endeavor and that real dev work has been made to produce something of substance, but so far all indications are not very convincing of this and we will probably find out the truth pretty soon.
